Chris walked up to the woman anxiously. “Is my daughter with you?”
She raised her head to look at him. The evil ghost mask covered her face.
“I’ll answer that after you play the piano with me.” Her voice sounded calm.
He tried his best to suppress his anger. Knowing full well that members of Toxic Hive were ruthless, he couldn’t take the risk of provoking her.
