1778 Unwavering Conviction
âWhether you believe it or not, Iâve been ready from beginning to end to fulfill the promise I made decades ago. For the Blood Alliance, for the continuation of Dragon City civilization, I will sacrifice everything, including my life, my reputation, and the companies under my name,â the gray-haired office worker said casually.
âI have never regarded you as a chess piece. You are a like-minded partner and also my successor.
âAfter all, Iâm old, and Iâve suffered such a heavy blow. The Blood Alliance is destined to lurk in the darkness for another ten years or even longer. Even if it makes a comeback one day, I wonât be able to see it.
âNo matter what, I have to find a qualified successor for the cause that Iâve fought for over the decades, and that successor is you. It can only be you, Yun Feidian.â
The gray-haired office worker sounded indescribably tired, like an old man who was about to die.
Nevertheless, his sincere attitude did not dispel Yun Feidianâs wariness.
âI really want to believe you.â
âHowever, I donât understand. Things are chaotic out there, and we need you to take charge of the situation. Why did you follow me here alone instead of participating in the feast of dividing Thundercloud Technology?â Yun Feidian said coldly.
The gray-haired office worker looked over Yun Feidianâs shoulder and at the military backpack behind him.
Yun Feidian laughed as expected and tightened the straps of the military backpack in front of his chest.
âIf youâre truly not treating me as a chess piece but a partner or even a successor as you said, you donât have to worry about this at all.
âIâm not an idiot,â Yun Feidian said. âI wonât threaten you with the scraps of the super crystal bomb unless I have no other choice.
âAs long as you keep in mind the covenant between us and the Blood Allianceâs mission, is it necessary for me to drag you down with this evidence?
âUltimately, a high and mighty Deity Realm warrior, the helmsman of a super company, and a highly respected senior is much more useful to our cause and my safety than a disgraced old dog thatâs hated by everyone, isnât it?â
âIâve fought for my oath and mission all my life. I wonât betray my lifeâs work when Iâm about to die,â the gray-haired office worker said.
âItâs meaningless to leave such evidence behind. It will only lead to the most thorough failure and destruction if someone catches us.â
âThatâs not necessarily true. If thereâs any lesson that Iâve learned from the battles and games in the past decades, itâs that I shouldnât trust any human being easily, including myself.â
Yun Feidian said, âCompared to monsters, human beings are ever-changing intelligent creatures who are too mysterious. Most of the time, we donât even know ourselves 100%, especially when weâre faced with a life-and-death decision. We can change into a completely different person at any moment.
âPerhaps, in the past decades, you were indeed loyal to your oath and your mission, and you sacrificed everything for the Blood Alliance.
âBut who can guarantee that you wonât completely lose confidence in the Blood Alliance because of this failure? You might even believe what Meng Chao said.
âAfter all, fate seems to favor Meng Chao, the divine warrior who descended from the sky and turned the tide. Thereâs hope that he can lead humanity to the final victory and create a new tomorrow for Dragon Cityâs civilization.
âWhen you saw the sunrise and Meng Chaoâs limitless potential, you felt like youâve been walking down the wrong path for most of your life. You were determined to âcome to a sudden realizationâ and change for the better. In fact, you even had a strong desire to âatone for your sins.â Whatâs so strange about that?
âAt the end of the day, you and the interest groups behind you didnât suffer many losses in the blow. It isnât too late to turn back now!
âThe three pieces of super crystal bomb scraps that I took at such a great risk are nothing more than insurance to help you strengthen your will and carry out your beliefs. Thatâs all!â
The gray-haired office worker sighed softly.
âYou donât understand. No matter how many times I fail, no matter how awe-inspiring Meng Chao is when he descends before us, I wonât believe in his tricks.â
His tone was calm, but it contained a faint hint of sorrow. âMeng Chao and those people who believe that âsuperhumans are the blades of human civilization, and the blood of the strong should flow for the weakâ can neither bring victory to Dragon City, nor create a tomorrow for Dragon City. Only the Blood Alliance has hope, even if itâs a one in a billion chance.
âI will fight to the end for this one-in-a-billion chance of hope.
âThatâs exactly why I canât allow you to leave with the scraps of the super crystal bomb, which will be a threat in the future!â
Before he even finished his words, an invisible hand seemed to lift the military backpack on Yun Feidianâs back up high.
Pa pa!
The extremely tough back strap made of Armored Rhinoceros skin was instantly torn apart, but Yun Feidian did not even blink.
What looked like several dozen cold rays of light shot out of his fingertips and tightly wrapped around the backpack, which was floating in the air.
They were strands of extremely strong, hair-thin nano-metal wire.
Each strand was less than 0.5 mm in diameter, but it could bear a few tons or maybe even several dozen tons of weight.
One end of the nano metal wires was wrapped around Yun Feidianâs arm. His arm guard was made of special monster leather and inlaid with metal materials to protect his arm from being cut.
Meanwhile, the other end had already pierced through the military backpack and wrapped the super crystal bombâs three shards repeatedly, making sure that the key evidence would not leave his side.
Shua shua shua shua!
As the nanometal wires were stretched taut, the military backpack was immediately cut into pieces. The pieces were blown away by the spirit energy ripples that were surging like tides and scattered around them.
The scraps of the super crystal bombs were now floating between the two individuals. When they got slightly closer to Yun Feidian, they began to spin like tops under the extreme pulling force from both sides.
The gray-haired office worker did not expect Yun Feidian to be so cautious.
He narrowed his eyes, and his face darkened.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! With his foot as the center, enormous cracks appeared and spread in all directions.
As the cracks traveled into the darkness around the cave, the stalactites, rocks, and walls that were dormant in the shadows all rumbled. It was as if countless monsters had awakened from the rock stratum that were as hard as iron, and they were breathing and roaring with soul-stirring voices.
When the roars gathered, it sounded more like the entire natural cave had come to life and turned into the bloody mouth of an enormous prehistoric beast!
