Mark and David had always looked down on Easterners. In the minds of Westerners like them, Easterners were inferior, while Westerners stood above everyone else.
It was not just Mark and David who thought this way. In fact, the vast majority of Westerners shared the same mindset.
These people came to the East for profit. Sometimes, whether white people groveled, praised others, or even wished they could claim to be Easterners themselves, it was all driven by profit.
Just wait and see—once the benefits were removed, would those white people still have anything flattering to say to you?
Wake up. These white people were all ungrateful wolves!
Therefore, from the moment Mark and David admitted defeat, they had already been planning their eventual betrayal. But because of Wallace's strength, they had no choice but to lie low.
Even when Wallace was not beside them, neither of them dared reveal the slightest hint of their intentions. After all, they were still under Black Fire's surveillance here, and the local organization was quite tightly run! If they tried to propose leaving, they probably would not get past Wallace.
Wallace had spent considerable effort subduing these two fellows and had continuously given them benefits, supporting them like this. How could he possibly have no precautions in place?
Besides, even if they left, Black Fire was not some harmless organization. If it kept finding chances to make trouble for them every day, Mark and David would not be able to endure it. In the beginning, Wallace had even taken them back to the base and introduced them to several other Xiantian Masters.
On the surface, it was an introduction. In secret, it was a display of strength. Look, this was Black Fire's power. If they tried to defect, they would bear the consequences themselves.
