Time seemed to pause for a moment as two possible decisions could be made.
One was to allow Carmen to fall and dodge the incoming whip.
Doing so would cause Carmen to be hanging in midair and possibly receive more whips. But in return, he could remain on the bridge and get another chance to pull her up later.
The second choice was to immediately assist her.
It was an extreme risk, and the possibility was high that he would still be pestered by the imps and end up being dragged down by Carmen anyway.
He would have to be ready to receive the electrified whip on the spot and lift Carmen up. In this method, only he would receive the damages but Carmen would be safe and sound.
In other words, it was either to be selfless or selfish.
'Argh, I should have brought Kai instead.' Xu Feng cursed silently and ultimately chose to be selfless.
Yes, he was cunning and petty most of the time. He admitted it, but that was just him trying to survive.
