Chapter 65 - Death Threats. You Were Once His Faith (2/2)

Wang Xue seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Lin Tian. She ran up to him and handed him a tissue when she saw the cold sweat on his forehead.

“Are you okay? Why are you sweating so much?”

The current Wang Xue was no longer as cold as before. Furthermore, after collaborating with Lin Tian and the others a few times, she began to open her heart.

“No, I’m fine. I’m probably a little tired from today’s battle!”

Lin Tian found an excuse to beat around the bush, so Wang Xue didn’t continue asking. After the operation was over, the captain of the guards, Zhang Feng, suggested that they go and visit Zhou Tao’s family.

Lin Tian had almost recovered by now, but he didn’t tell anyone about the vice president and the silver-white capsule. In this situation, he couldn’t tell who his enemy was and who was his friend.

If he wasn’t careful, he might die.

However, he still followed Zhang Feng and the others to visit Zhou Tao’s family. At the same time, he bought some fruits. Both the guards and Lin Tian felt sorry for Zhou Tao’s death.

Besides, Lin Tian had always thought that Zhou Tao’s death was related to him.

If only he could help Zhou Tao at that time or had the ability to help him, at least he wouldn’t have died.

…

Green Mountain Base, Zhou Tao’s home.

They pressed the doorbell. Zhou Tao’s home was near the city wall of Green Mountain Base, and it looked old. It could be seen that Zhou Tao’s family was not well-off.

Through Lin Tian’s understanding, when Zhou Tao was in his third year of high school, he didn’t even have a black iron-level magical beast. He dropped out of school and entered the society, becoming a guard. After a few years, he finally became a silver-level armored envoy.

He didn’t complain but worked diligently in the guard team. When there was danger, he would rush to the front. But unfortunately, he still died in the end.

When the door opened, two old folks dressed in mourning clothes appeared in front of everyone. They looked very old and thin. There were tears at the corners of their eyes. It was obvious that they were in grief of losing Zhou Tao.

“Uncle, Auntie, I have brought my colleagues from the guards to see you.”

Zhang Feng handed the gifts over. When the two old folks looked at Zhang Feng, they could not stop their tears from flowing out. It seemed that Zhang Feng had met Zhou Tao’s family before.

“Children, thank you for coming to see us. Come in!”

Although the two elders were still immersed in their son’s grief, they still welcomed Lin Tian and the others into the house.

Lin Tian looked at the white house and couldn’t help but feel sorrow.

“Which one of you is Lin Tian?”

After everyone entered, Zhou Tao’s mother asked. At this moment, Lin Tian’s eyes were slightly red.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t save him!”

The emotions in Lin Tian’s heart surged. The white color of the room and the black and white photo of Zhou Tao made him unable to control his tears.

“Silly child, why are you crying? Don’t cry, don’t cry!”

“How can I blame you? Our son would mention you to us every time he came back. He said that during the mission, he met a very powerful high school student.”

“You don’t know. When he told me about it, his eyes were filled with admiration. Also, he said that you even represented your high school to participate in the competition.”

…

Zhou Tao’s mother told Lin Tian the words her son had told her as if she knew everything. Her eyes were filled with tears.

After an unknown amount of time, she took a deep breath and seemed to calm down. Then, she patted Lin Tian’s hand and smiled.

“Our son also said that if he can choose someone to protect the world with him, it will definitely be you!”

Zhou Tao’s mother said seriously word by word.

It was Zhou Tao’s trust and envy towards Lin Tian.
