Mr. Kang
Jiang Wenzhang seemed to have only one way out now: death. Whether he confessed or not, whether he told the truth or lied, he would ultimately end up like Zheng Da, killed by Xu Huo.
"If I tell you, will you really let me go?" After thinking for a moment, he said, "As long as you let me go, I can use a Ticket to leave right in front of you. Once I'm out, I'll be starting over at a new Wormhole Point anyway. That way, we'll both have a way out."
"I'll consider it." Xu Huo sat down again. "But I still don't feel safe just letting you go. You could still contact your old employer through Dimension Below."
"How about a compromise?" He took out the World in the Painting. "You go into my storage item. Once I'm sure I can safely leave this high-risk Dungeon, I'll let you out."
"That way, we can both feel at ease."
Jiang Wenzhang frowned at the Picture Frame. "How can I be sure you'll keep your promise?"
"Do you have any other choice?" Xu Huo smiled. "Actually, you don't need to think everyone in the game is a bad person. You could try trusting my conscience."
Jiang Wenzhang didn't think someone who was all bluff and pretense, and had nearly killed all the Players who came along this time, had any conscience. Still, he couldn't help asking, "How will you convince Mr. Kang when you go back alone?"
"While we were in the stone forest capturing Alien cubs, we accidentally attracted a swarm of Aliens. The people of Little River City sacrificed themselves to buy time, giving my companions and me a chance to survive... How's that for an excuse?" Xu Huo raised an eyebrow.
Such a perfunctory excuse
