Thoroughly inspect! A person can’t die for no reason!\" Julius Reed spoke deeply, with his only eye locked onto the smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terry Moore had been with him for a long time, and now faced danger; Julius Reed couldn’t turn a blind eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The king’s charm lies in bearing the responsibility that makes those around feel safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terry Moore clearly hadn’t realized the black smoke was after him; trembling, he fished out a phone from his pocket, dialing a series of numbers: \"Damn Karen, I might really die this time.
