"Are you really Lu Yang?" La Deng said incredulously. "Stop talking nonsense. How could that be possible?"
Hussein pulled up a photo of Lu Yang and compared it with the Lu Yang standing before him. He was stunned, then patted La Deng and said, "Big Brother, they really do seem to be the same person."
La Deng looked at the photo, then at Lu Yang. "Impossible. You must have used some method to disguise yourself."
Lu Yang smiled and added all five of them as friends.
System Notification: Lu Yang has sent you a friend request.
Five consecutive notifications left La Deng and the others staring in shock.
"You really are Lu Yang." La Deng accepted the request.
"Of course," Lu Yang said. "So, are you willing to join the Iron Blood Brotherhood?"
"That depends on what terms you're offering us brothers," La Deng said smugly.
"You'll be a Legion Commander. Your four brothers can serve as your deputies and regiment commanders. How does that sound?"
"Deal." La Deng immediately agreed, without any of his usual drawn-out hesitation.
Lu Yang laughed. "But I have one condition as well. You need to tell me how you obtained Fire Bomb."
In his previous life, many things had been revealed by the officials and players alike, but many others had never been exposed. Fire Bomb was one of them; no one knew how it was obtained.
La Deng, Hussein, and the others exchanged looks. In the end, all five nodded. La Deng said, "To be honest, we're not entirely sure either. We were opening chests when we got teleported into a special space. There, we met an old man dressed strangely. We chatted with him for a while, then he gave all five of us this Detonation Bloodline before disappearing."
