"No need to say more, since we are already here, we will not back down."
Xiao Zhan interrupted him.
"I was too abrupt, my apologies. However, having you stay here is actually a good thing for me."
"How so?"
Liu Yuan smiled politely and said, "I feel a bit ashamed to admit that I am the weakest among the special combat team. The team conducts internal assessments periodically, and those who fail are sent to the second team."
"I was quite worried before that I would be sent to the second team, but now that you're here, I'm not worried at all."
"Uh... don't mind me, my words might sound a bit like kicking someone when they're down, but I'm just stating a fact."
Liu Yuan laughed openly.
His teeth were gleaming, brighter than a bright white.
It was clear that he had no ill intent in his ridicule.
Looking at Xiao Zhan, he felt as if heaven had sent him a stepping stone... oh no, a gift.
