Chapter 476: Take Me With You (2/2)
”Will do!”
Marcos watched as Li Xiu sauntered out of the room. Marcos heaved a sigh and was absorbed in reflections of his achievements. The Thunder Fire started out as a martial group, not that much different from a gym. In the early years, Marcos focused solely on growth and chose his battles carefully. After a few years of careful planning and a dozen strategic successes, Thunder Fire's growth finally started to pick up speed. Marcos was very proud of himself for having created the band from scratch.
At the war camp of the Battle Wolf, Guan Dongyang gathered the warriors he had drafted to join the tournament around the campfire and gave them an inspiring speech. Wang Tong listened quietly as his mind slowly drifted into a reverie.
What would have happened if he had managed to kill Patroclus five years ago? Would that have changed the fate of humanity?
What would happen to his family and friend if he wasn't there to protect them?
When Jansining told him to look after Bei Bei, he meant not only to protect the little girl, but also to protect the world in which Bei Bei could enjoy her life.
However difficult it was to fulfill his promise to Jansining, Wang Tong had to do it.
For the longest time, Wang Tong was proud of his resilience and perseverance. But right now, he realized that enduring suffering quietly was nothing to be proud of. The real pride should be in actions to change what was wrong, to make the world a better place, and to end the suffering, like what Guan Dongyang was doing.
”Furface, what are you thinking?” Ye Zi's voice wrenched Wang Tong's mind out of his deep thoughts.
Wang Tong turned to Ye Zi and asked, ”Do you think I can go with you?”
”You want to go to the tournament? Can you tell me why?” Ye Zi's eyes locked onto Wang Tong's face.
”I am the mechanic, am I not? I can identify how good the loot is.”
”Fine, fine. I will talk to the captain. I don't think he will say no. ”Ye Zi nodded.
”Thank you, Officer Ye.”
”Save the courtesy. Just call me Ye Zi please, Furface!”
”Ok, Ye Zi. There is a question that I always wanted to ask you, but I am not sure if it's appropriate.”
”Ask along.”
”Michaux and the Divine Master Set are well known for their Mastery. I wonder if they provide mastery training to the public?”
Ye Zi was caught off guard, not by the question, but by the way Wang Tong said it. Michaux Odin was a legendary warrior, and only a few could mention his name with such levity as Wang Tong had just done.
”Why? Are you interested in becoming a mastery caster? You have a pretty solid soul energy, I will give you that. Maybe you should give it a try.”
