No one knows when it began—
But the world was split in two.
Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.
Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...
Haas froze in place.
He really didn't know Ning Fan well enough.
He was able to guess that there was danger outside Yefengkou simply because he felt that Ning Fan was a very scheming person.
But he also felt that he was valuable.
The high-level [Hundred Souls Level] is not available everywhere on the street.
He didn't believe that he would be rejected if he surrendered.
You know, Ning Fan accepted all the [Mud Bugs].
Ning Fan can take good care of those things in [Mudworms]. He is much better than those people!
Besides, Ning Fan had some conflicts with [Mudworm] before.
Then why doesn’t it work for him?
Haas knew that Ning Fan had many high-level [Hundred Souls Level] around him, but who would complain about having too much such strong combat power?
Therefore, Haas couldn't understand what Ning Fan was thinking now.
"Advanced [Hundred Souls Level], sounds quite intimidating."
Ning Fan leaned back on the sofa, looking quite relaxed. "But if you're just trying to use this title to make a living... my family's food doesn't come from the wind."
Haas swallowed hard.
"Mr. Haas, we haven't had much contact. Let me first tell you my impression of you."
Ning Fan cleared his throat twice.
"The first time we met was at my wedding. Your then-master, Doville, brought you here to mess things up."
"I didn't give Duville much face at the time, and I detained you as well. You didn't even think of resisting at that time."
Haas was eager to explain.
At that time, the gap in strength between the two sides was so huge. If I resisted, wouldn’t that be courting death?
"Later, we had more contact."
"Then I'll send you back to the west of the city. You know very well that Uncle Bai is by my side. As long as you can give me a little reminder, I believe Duville will be able to see the problem."
"But you still didn't. You didn't even want to give me a glance. Anyway, as long as you sit there steadily, you won't die."
"As for the others... whoever wants to die can die. As long as it's not you who dies, that's fine, right?"
Sweat was already oozing from Haas's forehead.
Ning Fan smiled.
"By now, you've seen that there's trouble outside of Yefengkou, and you also know that it's unlikely those who go out will survive."
"But you still didn't warn them. Instead, you chose to protect yourself and stayed here. You even came to me and begged me to take you in."
"Look, every time danger strikes, your first thought is how to protect yourself and push those around you to die in your place."
"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. I understand this principle."
"But the question is, with your style of doing things, what use do I have for you?"
"You have the title of a high-level [Hundred Souls Level], but it doesn't do anything, and you just want to come to me and enjoy the good food and drinks..."
Ning Fan waved his hand: "I'm not that generous."
Haas couldn't utter a word.
In fact, what Ning Fan said was definitely not groundless.
Every time his life and death were at stake, he was lucky enough to avoid danger.
Besides the fact that he was quite lucky, he also knew...
How to let someone else die for him.
Just like just now, if he told the other three-star retainers about the risks he had inferred, perhaps one or two people would agree with him and stay with him.
But he didn't do that.
Because he felt it was unnecessary.
If more people stayed, the risk he would have to bear would be greater.
After all, he couldn't guarantee whether others would continue to listen to him.
In that case...
Then you all go to hell!
Just leave me alive!
As long as I join District F, I can continue to live a life of good food and drink.
Even if Region E really fights back, he can say that he chose to go deep behind enemy lines in order to avenge Commander Doville, waiting for the day when Region E would support him!
I am a high-level [Hundred Souls Level].
No matter which side they are on, they should be able to use me.
That's what Haas has been thinking all along.
For him, the high-level [Hundred Souls Level] is not a matter of strength, but a proof of his own worth.
But when this certificate reached Ning Fan...
It doesn't seem to be that useful.
"Mr. Haas, do you understand what I said?"
Ning Fan asked softly.
Only then did Haas come back to his senses.
He looked at Ning Fan nervously.
To be precise, his nervousness came from Bai Peng who was beside Ning Fan.
As long as Ning Fan didn't want him to live, perhaps just a thought would be enough.
It's that simple.
"Commander Ning, I really do want to..."
"You still don't understand."
Ning Fan sighed softly, "Whether you are sincere or not is none of my business. What I want to see is your impact."
Haas really understood this time.
Pledge of allegiance!
I betrayed Doville and joined Ning Fan's side, which shows my determination!
However, Haas also understood that once he proved his ability and sincerity to Ning Fan, he would never have the chance to return to Region E.
This is different from his original idea.
However, Haas quickly made up his mind and showed his sincerity to Ning Fan.
Whether I will return to Region E in the future is not discussed yet.
If he couldn't get Ning Fan to agree now, he might not even make it through today.
"What does Commander Ning need me to do?"
