As Cruze finished speaking, Xiao Ran glanced at him, his faint smile unchanged. The moment their eyes met, understanding and rapport that needed no further words filled the space between them. This inexplicable tacit understanding stemmed entirely from Cruze's knowledge of Xiao Ran, as well as certain unspoken speculations.
Cruze also had a very clear understanding of his own position. In Prometheus, he was Xiao Ran's follower. Only by safeguarding Xiao Ran's interests could he safeguard his own.
After Cruze finished, Xiao Ran silently gave him thirty-six thumbs-up. Even if Cruze had not said it, Xiao Ran had intended to do the same. The Burning Legion would forever have one core, and only one—and that core could only be Xiao Ran, not anyone else.
This was Xiao Ran's caution, as well as a form of self-protection for his rights and interests. Even if Cruze had not brought it up, Xiao Ran would have raised it himself, and no one would have objected. It was simply more tactful coming from Cruze than from Xiao Ran himself.
At present, there were only three participants in the team, while everyone else was Xiao Ran's follower. As followers, no matter who they were, they would naturally support Xiao Ran unconditionally. Of the two other participants, Naluo had always placed Xiao Ran first for two reasons. The first was that Xiao Ran had thoroughly subdued her in the 00 World. The second was Graham's existence. Therefore, Naluo was one of their own and could be trusted completely.
As for Basak, he was a participant with considerable combat ability. He was not stupid, though he did seem somewhat chuunibyou. In a team like Xiao Ran's, Basak also enjoyed work that required no brainpower, only labor.
