CHAPTER 293: 293: THE BENEFACTOR ELEVATES ME

Tie San was scared out of his wits, and in desperation, he could only steal things from Zhou Li’s house to sell, hoping to find a way out.

Among them was the newly developed Artifact Support!

Chuan Er was sharp-eyed, and with Tie San’s endless supply, he immediately noticed the trickery and threatened Tie San to reveal the source of the Artifact Support!

Otherwise, he would take his life!

Tie San, in fear and with no way out, could only speak about Zhou Li...

But just by doing so, he caused Zhou Li and Huang Shou to fall into a hellish existence!

The rest is history, Chuan Er contacted Master Wu, engaged in this trade, and set up the Taiping Mountain base, openly carrying out the illegal business of smuggling Artifact Fire.

Until the end――

The matter was exposed, Warhawk Class 1 wiped out the bandits’ nest, and the matter finally came to an end.

However, Zhou Li and Huang Shou, these two talents, were wronged. If they hadn’t encountered such an accident, perhaps, they would be renowned figures by now!

Thoughts returned once again to the present, it was still Devil King who posed the question. Were they willing?

Zhou Li was overwhelmed with excitement and almost immediately replied, "With such high praise from my benefactor, of course, I am willing..."

"If we can join the Academy, we brothers won’t have to endure so much suffering..." Huang Shou was also tearful with emotion, recalling the years of hardship they had endured, it was an indescribable pain.

They had been through so many trials to finally return to the right path, it was something they urgently needed.

"Rest assured, I will seek the greatest benefits for you!"

Li Yan’s voice was calm, yet it was a promise, a man’s vow, and also a tribute to the trainees!

In a sense, they were heroes too!

"Devil King... we trust you..."

"To follow Devil King, it’s worth it even if we die..."

Zhou Li and Huang Shou finally understood why Devil King had such a great reputation; just by how he treated his brothers, comrades, and friends, he was irreplaceable.

The soul of the Academy needs such a leader!

Those around were deeply moved, but Gu Tong alone had no reaction because her gaze remained on Zhou Li, while her mind was contemplating something!

Suddenly, her memory was awakened, she suddenly recalled that the year after Li Yan left in her past life, she was contacted by Longxing Country’s equipment master Zhou Li!

At that time, he gave her a sum of condolence money and said ―

"My life! It was Devil King who saved it! It’s only right, you don’t have to refuse! Sister-in-law... remember, without Devil King, there would be no me, Zhou Li..."

Memory began to overlap, the bewilderment and confusion of Gu Tong back then now suddenly became clear!

It turns out they had such a deep connection back then because of this very moment now...

Gu Tong’s eyes shifted again, reflecting the image of Huang Shou in her pupils.

Logically, when Zhou Li was so famous, Huang Shou shouldn’t have been overshadowed unless something unexpected happened back then.

Thinking carefully, it was Li Yan who let Zhou Li go down the mountain to alert, and with the battlefield in chaos, Huang Shou might have also received the message. Perhaps something else led him up the mountain, and he too was captured by Chuan Er!

In the previous life, he didn’t have Gu Tong’s help! So he died at the hand of Chuan Er’s Artifact ―

This should be the butterfly effect of Gu Tong’s rebirth! Not only did she prevent Li Yan from being injured, but she also saved Huang Shou’s life!
