504: 385 504: 385 âDamn it!
Itâs these guys!
And I used to help them fix thingsâŠâ
Jannan suddenly clenched his fist and forcefully smashed it against the wall.
âHow could they do thisâŠ!!â
Although the members of the Wildfire Team couldnât understand the words he was saying, they could feel that the atmosphere inside the room had changed and seemed very tense.
Zhang Xiaoman didnât continue to speak at that moment but quietly watched this former big shot, wanting to see what he would decide to do next.
Jannan also remained silent for a long time, his gaze lost as he stared at the box in front of him, seemingly making plans for his life ahead.
At that moment, he had gradually regained his composure from the initial anger.
He understood that the residents of the town might no longer be the same ones who had killed his grandfather.
After all, so much time had passed, and for most people here, their lives had already come to an end.
Even Jannan knew that the whole issue was probably not entirely their fault.
His grandfather, to put it nicely, was an explorer who came here for an adventure.
To put it harshly, he was here to dig up their ancestral graves!
For the locals, he was a foreigner who stole from their ancestorâs mausoleum built here and took the objects found inside for himself, which in a way, was akin to banditry.
From the perspective of that time, on one hand, it was the angry locals defeating the foreigner who came to steal from their ancestorâs tomb, which undoubtedly was seen as a heroic deed.
On the other hand, it was an explorer traveling around, helping the locals find their history in ancient relics and merely taking some insignificant benefits from it.
Even then, these items were ownerless; whoever found them owned them, but in the end, he was betrayed by the friends he trusted and died miserably in a foreign land.
Standpoints differ, so does the perspective on the issue, and Zhang Xiaoman had no intention of judging the right or wrong; his focus was solely on the person, Jannan.
By then, Jannan had also gradually calmed down.
Being an extremely intelligent man, how could he not see through the crux of the issue?
Initially, it was merely the news of his relativeâs murder that had clouded his judgment with sudden anger.
Now that he had regained his senses and had calmed down from his initial excitement, he began to contemplate how he should face these matters.
âMr.
Zhan, it appears youâve also gained some understanding of what happenedâŠâ
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly spoke, shaking the gold flower in his hand, and said:
âYou probably know why Iâm here, so how about this, I help you solve your current problem, and this flower will be my reward, how does that sound?â
At these words, Jannan was startled and looked up in astonishment at the mysterious man in front of him, somewhat unclear why he would make such an offer all of a sudden.
In his view, this item was already within this manâs reach, making it completely unnecessary to go out of his way to ask for his opinion.
Moreover, if he wished, he could simply take all the treasures here by force, and no one could stop him.
Thinking this, Jannan suddenly felt a chill, and he dared not probe any further but instead refocused on the issue itself.
Zhang Xiaomanâs strength was not clear to him, but as the leader of a mysterious Transcendent Force, his combat power must also be very high.
Even setting aside other factors, simply the dreadful space battleship he controlled could have wiped out everything here.
Therefore, Jannan understood that the other party was fully capable of helping him exact revenge.
Whenever he thought of his grandfatherâs death, he involuntarily clenched his teeth tightly, his expression growing solemn as he fell into deep contemplation.
As the atmosphere lingered, time passed for quite a while until Jannan finally loosened his grip and let out a deep breath, sighing,
âI appreciate Lord Jixingâs assistance.
However, so much time has passed since then.
Most likely, many of those involved are no longer in this world.
The hatred has also lost its meaningâŠâ
âMoreover, my grandfather was also responsible to some extent, and I have some understanding of his professionâŠ
Thus, revenge is even less justifiable.
Your Excellency has already helped me uncover these things; this flower naturally belongs to you.
Being able to uncover the buried past, I am already without regrets.â
Hearing the response provided by the other party, Zhang Xiaoman was not particularly surprised, as this was consistent with Xun Youâs previous assessments.
His question just now was merely a final test of the otherâs character; Zhang Xiaoman had no intentions of getting involved in these grudges, let alone helping him seek revenge.
As for Jannanâs decision, he did not judge whether it was right or wrong, but he appreciated this rational behavior more than that of a younger brother blinded by revenge.
In any case, Jannanâs final decision was very satisfying to him; this man could be absorbed into his own organization.
âMr.
Zhanâs open-mindedness is indeed admirable.
However, my visit this time was not solely for this flowerâŠâ
Zhang Xiaoman said as he spread his palm, revealing the symbol of the Eye of the Starry Sky.
This was not the first time Jannan had seen it, but it was the first time he had the opportunity to examine this emblem closely.
He was unfamiliar with the outer ring of the seven-pointed star and shield, but the eye in the middle was indeed the same as what he had seen on his grandfatherâs tombstone just before.
The members of the Wildfire Team standing nearby knew more than he did.
Unlike Jannan, who secluded himself in this desert oasis, they had heard about the hacking incident that had occurred recently.
The symbol was particularly memorable, seen once and hard to forget.
Earlier on, they had already sensed something was amiss, but they had no opportunity to ask and were forced to suppress their curiosity.
Now, seeing the leader of this mysterious organization revealing the symbol himself, they all perked up, very eager to find out what he would say next.
Zhang Xiaoman glanced at them and, without avoiding the few, continued speaking to Jannan,
âMr.
Zhan, you must also remember this symbol, and from the letter earlier, you should have been able to discern some cluesâŠâ
âIndeed, your grandfather, Estevan Vasikar, once indeed had contact with our organization.
This is the true reason why I have come to find you.
And now, our world is facing a series of new crises.
I hope you can leave this place and, representing the Vasikar family, rejoin our organization.â
