Book 4: Near Blood - Chapter 224: Banque (1/2)
Ten or so venolow beneath theround of the Iron and Blood Country
Su Chen and Danba were sitting atop a particularly large dragon, which also happened to be the leader of this pack The as blowing fiercely,it hard for Su Chen to keep his eyes open
He wanted to erect a barrier to block the wind, but unfortunately, Ravagers who had not yet undergone a baptisy to do so
As such, he could only endure
“I used to adons, but now I know that this isShuttle,” Su Chen complained
“All it e,” Danba replied indifferently as he continued steering at the front
Su Chen chuckled “Are youme on my bravery?”
“Both No ed h to come with me on this trip There are ao to Gullan Castle with h to show h to acco?”
“That’s different My life is not actually that valuable, but yours is You are the hu in the future If I traded reatly”
“Then why not do it?” Su Chen asked
Danba fell silent
Yes, why not make that trade?
At the very start, he had been badly startled by who he believed to be hisat his doorstep As a result, he had coerced the Resurrection Door and used all the methods at his disposal to try and kill Su Chen
The situation, however, had now been flipped on its head In the blink of an eye, he and Su Chen were now sitting on the saon
Danba had no idea how to react to such a sudden change
He hadn’t been able to finish Su Chen off in the past because Su Chen had never given him the opportunity to do so in their previous encounters
But now, an opportunity was clearly available, and yet Danba was really beginning to give up on the idea of killing Su Chen
Why was that exactly?
Even Danba hi it over for a long time, he spoke “If I said that I truly lacked the confidence in killing you or that you aren’t actually such an important person, those would be complete lies But if I said that it was for myself, that wouldn’t be completely false”
“Oh? There are still other reasons?” Su Chen asked
“You dared coraspyou?”
Su Chen replied, “I wouldn’t be brave if everything was always under my control”
Danba smiled when he heard this “Well said! If you are always in control, that courage is not actually courage I do have soer reason is that I want to see that future you painted for me”
“The future I painted?” Su Chen was taken aback
“Yes! Fighting the Beasts,” Danba clarified
Su Chen finally understood
He had told Danba of this back at the Uhayan Pool
He had said that the reason he didn’t consider researching a secret technique that would allow Ravagers to control Origin Energy a betrayal to the human race was because the Beasts were the true eneinally ht of on the spot
