    Bai E slung his bow across his back and strode away, with the boy draped in the gray-brown nket following closely behind.


    Gong Yan''s eyes shimmered as she watched several silhouettes disappear into the slightly reflective, blurry light and shadows.


    Even though they are enemies of the Arbitration ce... Such demeanor, so lovable.


    And that gentle, calm voice that seemed almost powerful enough to be felt, it seemed so familiar.


    Such a familiar feeling.


    "Franca!" A burly man''s voice roared from the adjacent corridor.


    With a helpless shrug, Franca pulled out her longsword and swung it through the air, making "whoosh whoosh" sounds, "I''ve got my own troubles!"


    That little rat man wasn''t bad; before I showed too much resolve to exterminate utterly, he didn''t let those old rats attack me...


    "Hmph!"


    The surging airflow vibrated the entire pipeline walls with a buzzing tremor as the brawny man with Spiritual Energy burst free from those annoying rats... and turned to run.


    Chasing an enemy of unknown strength and origin in the dark underground tunnels was clearly not a wise choice.


    Not to mention, there''s a "mole" among one''s teammates!


    In this city, there are actually people daring to oppose the Arbitration ce!


    That''s... quitemon, actually.


    The Divine Arrival Sect''s believers entrenched in the deepest darkness, the Mutual Aid Society organized by mutates unnoticed by ordinary people, the city''s underworld that thinks it can maintain Order... All these unstable elements are potential targets.


    Taking in a desperate Believer of the E forces... it''s nothing out of the ordinary.


    The burly man returned to the surface, his expressionbining indignation and anger, "Why didn''t you take action?"


    Although his experience and strength were greater than Franca''s, her speed was faster. She could have easily broken through the rat horde when they singled her out.


    Even if she couldn''t detain the enemy, at least by engaging in a close battle, she could have learned some details to track their identity.


    The youngdy Xiao Xiong spread her hands, "For 500 ck water coins a month, why should I risk my life? I''m just a temp, Uncle~"


    "..."


    It was just that so-calledpassion that yed a fool.


    The burly man turned abruptly, clenching a deformed arrow shaft in his hand.


    At least there was a bit of a clue.


    Looking like a product of military assembly lines, even if the enemy wasn''t from the military, they were undoubtedly connected to the supply line that flows from the military to the ck market.


    If they want to oppose the Arbitration ce, then it''s time to clean up this shady business once and for all!


    "No more mercy!" the burly man warned sternly.


    Franca grinned, cradling the sword sheath in her arms, "My sword is not dull either."


    "..."


    ...


    Under the cover of night, several figures swiftly wove through the jungle''s silhouette, silent all the way.


    Bai E kept silent, and naturally, the yers did not dare to speak out of turn.


    The turn of events waspletely unexpected. When issuing the mission, they talked about exterminating evil without mercy, but now they had rescued the boss leader?


    And it seems the task... Huh? The progress for investigating the truth is also consideredplete?


    That''s not too bad... Without Bai E in charge, they would likely have found it difficult to fight their way through and step over the bodies of those rats to confront the final boss.


    It''s just unclear what to do next?


    ```


    Enemy of the Arbitration ce?


    ording to Dai Lian''s consistent thinking, he would definitely side with whoever was stronger or offered more rewards.


    Loyalty? Nonexistent, do yers even have such a thing?


    But those two fools seemed different...


    Gazing at the figure leading the way, Gong Yan''s eyes glittered.


    The silhouette that seemed ready to stand against the world for justice was the hero she aspired to be.


    Moreover, having such apanion or superior meant that even in desperate circumstances, one could trust him resolutely.


    Whether it stemmed from reason or emotion, this was undoubtedly a leader worth following.


    As for benefits... if one only pursued benefits, how would a game differ from reality?


    The game was ultimately an empty experience, but the process one underwent and pursued within it was the true wealth that could impact one''s life.


    This life... I''ll entrust it to you.


    "You''re safe now."


    Having finally arrived at the underground cave belonging to Li Ming, Bai E turned and spoke to the boy who had followed him down thedder.


    The dim glow of thenterns inside the cave allowed Bai E to clearly see the boy''s pale and handsome face for the first time.


    Exceptionally handsome, his looks seemed to rival those of a yer called Kuang Xin, except his face was covered with fine scratches and scars.


    Perhaps that was one of the reasons for his tragic fate... the uneducated children''s malice was pure and insane.


    Just didn''t know why... he looked somewhat familiar?


    Bai E was certain he had never seen him before.


    "Next, just hide here," Bai E said, before turning to the yers who hade down as well, and asked softly, "And you... can you take care of him?"


    No mission was given, just a question.


    If possible, Bai E, of course, would have liked to issue a mission, but sadly, the quota for today''smissions had all been given out, and the only one left, originally meant for the top student yer Zhou Wenjie, was abat mission unsuitable for the present situation.


    Such a request without mission rewards implied trouble...


    "No problem!" Gong Yan responded immediately.


    Bai E''s gaze flickered slightly, satisfied.


    Gently patting the head of the boy who reached only up to his chest, Bai E''s lips curved slightly as he said, "I promised to find you some helpers for building a base, and now... he''s arrived."


    "Huh?" The boy looked up at Bai E''s face, full of confusion, "I..."


    Bai E gave him a gentle smile, "What, you''re going to tell us that mice can''t dig holes? Or... you don''t have ns to put in the effort to build a home for yourself?"


    "Home..."


    The boy murmured softly.


    Such a distant word. The home with his sister was warm, but there were many things he dared not tell her.


    Ever since his sister had gone to the barracks, it had been very difficult for him to survive alone in that ce.


    Without those "friends," he would probably have turned into a pile of bones by now.


    "I''ve picked up many people like you before; you''re neither the first nor thest. You need to build a home for everyone, that is your responsibility," said Bai E in a gentle tone, bing increasingly adept at deception.


    "Yes, my lord."


    The man before him had a resolute and reliable appearance, like a cold sun, spreading light that fell on the soul, cool as moonlight. Continue your saga on m|v-l''e -NovelBin


    The boy looked toward the three yers and quietly swore an oath, "I will build a home for everyone..."
