Chapter 301: The Grand Campaign (3)
—We don’t know who you are. Be glad we don’t! Otherwise, we would have already clipped your limbs into tiny pieces with nail clippers, gouged out your eyes with a hammer, aaaaaaand! Your family, your friends, even your homeland would have met the same end! Your world didn’t recycle. Instead, they threw trash like you here! So, everything, everything of yours will be torn to shreds! Look forward to it! I can’t wait to see if you’ll still be able to sing like a cuckoo bird after your vocal cords are cut into twenty-three pieces!

You have an innocent face that says you don’t know anything about the world, but you know how to mess with people’s hearts.”
“That’s too harsh. I don’t mess around. I always take my life seriously.”
