The military vehicle slowly started moving. Looking at the rumbling engine and the expressionless face of Wen Yu, Tang Haofei felt a bit dazed... Suddenly, memories from a while ago surfaced in his mind, recalling the scene he saw in the deep-sea grotto.
Tang Haofei slowly spoke, his voice forming a line that directly pierced into Wen Yu's ears. "Wen Yu, remember what I said today, remember what I did today."
"If one day I die and you become Sequence One, remember one point!"
"Why do you live? What do you fight for? And for what reason do you sit in the position of Sequence One?"
"I'm fighting for Earth, what about you?"
...
"I'm fighting for myself."
The mental wave transmitted back from Wen Yu was still as firm and unwavering as ever.
Tang Haofei sighed deeply.
"You just haven't encountered something or someone worth fighting for..."
"Then I hope I never do!!!"
...
The military vehicle gradually drove away until Tang Haofei's figure became blurry in the distance.
Wen Yu let out a heavy sigh.
The conflict between ideals and reality is always an unsolvable problem.
The ideological clash also became a deep pit that loomed between Wen Yu and Tang Haofei.
Was Tang Haofei wrong in what he did?
From his own perspective, perhaps everything seemed fine...
But Wen Yu did not agree!
This time, Tang Haofei directly put Qin Tian in a difficult position for the sake of so-called responsibility and mission.
So, next time, for these illusory things, will Tang Haofei also put himself in jeopardy?
Not necessarily, or rather, there's a high probability.
So...
Let's go, let's go...
The further away from these people, the better!
With this thought, Wen Yu already understood how he should act.
...
The atmosphere in the military vehicle was very heavy.
Wen Yu sat silently in his seat, while the other three also felt awkward interrupting his thoughts.
Perhaps Qin Tian felt guilty.
No, saying he felt guilty is a bit too much; it might just be a bit of awkwardness.
After a while, Wen Yu raised his head and glanced at Qin Tian and the others beside him, slowly speaking.
"You should understand what kind of trouble you’ve stirred up, right?"
Qin Tian nodded.
"The oceanic tribe issue is very difficult to resolve. Once the bounty is issued, with your identity and actions, the reward won’t be low. Under heavy reward, bounty hunters will swarm around you like flies, plus the manpower from the oceanic tribe."
"Eh."
Speaking of this, Wen Yu let out a light sigh.
When Lin Haifeng asked Wen Yu to take action, the offered price was not low. Even so, Wen Yu ignored Lin Haifeng for one reason— the effort and reward were disproportionate.
If it was like this for Wen Yu, then what about Qin Tian?
After a moment, Qin Tian calmly spoke.
"I understand the consequences of doing these things; I just have to do them."
Just like Tang Haofei, Qin Tian's difficulties were clearer— to this, Wen Yu had nothing to say.
"Do you need me to do anything?"
Qin Tian shook his head.
"No, I will take Qin Shiyuan and Arthur to a place unknown to others. This meeting with you is actually to say goodbye."
Wen Yu stepped aside.
"With me, your safety will be heavily guaranteed."
"No, being with you, our safety is not guaranteed at all!"
Hearing Qin Tian's words, Wen Yu looked up in surprise.
Qin Tian slightly adjusted his seating position, speaking seriously to Wen Yu.
"Do you know? Although the time spent with you is short, I've discovered a problem."
"It seems that all sorts of issues always happen around you, which might relate to your personality."
"You do things impulsively and like to chase after benefits—but the things that can bring you benefits are not necessarily good for us— the risks are too great!"
"It’s like there’s an invisible vortex around you, causing all sorts of things to happen. You are strong, you can handle it, but we are different."
At this point, Qin Tian sighed.
"My strength can be considered among the top in this world. To put it bluntly, I lived comfortably before, and so did Qin Shiyuan! But since being with you, life has turned 180 degrees; we are always in danger."
