"You want Gou and the rest to fight him?" asked Jiang Ning.
He needed to make sure that Peter Pan hadn't been drinking and that he wasn't drunk. Why else would he speak such nonsense and send the wolves to their deaths?
"That's right." Peter Pan glared. "Who else is supposed to go? You? Do you think you really need to get involved with that piece of trash? He doesn't deserve yours or my attention!"
The old man scoffed. "It's decided then."
Jiang Ning was speechless. Had Peter Pan just decided forthem?
They were putting the lives of the wolves at stake!
They shouldn't be joking about human lives like this.
"I won't let them do it," Jiang Ning said. "I'm not going to risk their lives."
He couldn't send the wolves to their deaths. He didn't care if they succeeded in killing the lunatic. He wouldn't agree to this suicide mission if the price they had to pay were their lives. Peter Pan threw Jiang Ning a glance, then snorted.
"You won't let them? Well, what if they've agreed to do it?"
The wolves walked in then.
They had heard what Jiang Ning had said. They knew that Jiang Ning was worried about them and wanted to keep them from harm's way. They were moved by Jiang Ning's concern for them.
But since they had sworn their loyalty to Jiang Ning, they had been prepared to die anytime for the safety of Donghai, just like how Number 18 had been when he sacrificed his life.
Now, the weight on their shoulders had grown heavier. They weren't simply fighting for the sake of Donghai.
"Big Boss, we want to do this!" said Brother Gou. He straightened his back and smiled. "We can't let you shield us from everything."
"We can do this!" said Number Six firmly. "Please believe in us!"
"That's right. We can do it. The esteemed senior said so, so it must be true. This isn't a suicide mission!" Number Five nodded.
Jiang Ning stared at them. He knew that they were trying to help him and share his burden. If this were an ordinary man, he would have agreed to let them go and fight him because an ordinary man wouldn't pose any threat to them.
Even if the mission proved to be slightly challenging, he trusted in the abilities of the wolves. They had undergone long periods of training and would complete the mission without a hitch.
But these were monsters that they were fighting now. Without sufficient power or ability, fighting them was suicide. There was no point in sending the wolves on a
suicide mission.
"He's a tough enemy," said Jiang Ning. "I know you want to share my burden, but I don't want you to get killed. In the past I did tell you that you could die anytime as long as you stuck with me. But now, really hope that all of you continue to live, and to live good lives too
The eyes of the wolves turned slightly teary. Their voices sounded choked with tears.
"We exist for a purpose and that purpose is to protect what we hold dear," said Brother Gou.
"Please let us take this mission. We won't let you down. We've never let you down!" The group said in unison.
The room seemed to brim with emotion suddenly.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Butler Zhao and the others could feel tears filling their eyes. They stared at the men before them and couldn't stop themselves from turning away and wiping away the wetness in their eyes.
Peter Pan's eyes shone brightly as he observed the impassioned men before him. He narrowed his eyes and threw a look at Jiang Ning.
"They're not children. They know net
what they're in for. Besides, I'll be going along with them. You don't have to worry at all."
"You'll be going too?"
Jiang Ning was a little taken aback. He had not expected Peter Pan to join the wolves. He was clearly doing this to protect them.
The old man had a kind heart after all.
"Don't be mistaken. I've got some questions for the lunatic. That's why I'm going. I'm not doing this out of the kindness of my heart!" Peter Pan caught the look in Jiang Ning's eyes and turned away instantly. He snorted arrogantly.
Jiang Ning felt a lot better now that he knew that Peter Pan would be there with them.
"Go if you want to, but be careful."
