"When the volcano erupted, I told my little sister to jump in with me. Unaware of the danger, she didn't hesitate." Bo Leng spoke calmly. The Undersea World had no sunlight, so the lights remained on even during the day. The light fell on his chiseled profile, further accentuating his sharp, cold features. He added, "Trust is mutual!"
His little sister could trust him unreservedly, and he, in turn, trusted her completely.
