Chapter 709 - 491: It’s Rare That a Transaction is Always Pleasant (Part 1)
"I thought you had run away," said the elf ambassador, looking at Malin as he drove up on his motorcycle. Glancing at the bruised and swollen-faced gorilla standing outside the research institute, he forced a smile that seemed insincere as if he had already understood why Malin had disappeared.
