After a while, Neo moved. He had finally regained enough energy to move his body. Looking at his broken hand, he couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

He looked at the lifeless corpse of the boss. He was the most powerful person he had met in this life, and he lay dead before him. Today, he could have been the one who may have died instead of the boss.

He had made a stupid decision today due to the rush of adrenaline and emotions. This decision almost cost his life. He looked at Yulan, who was hugging him and crying, and decided in his mind.

Although he had already considered her a friend, he knew that she had become a weakness for him. He promised to live for himself, and due to Yulan, he broke that promise.

"Neo, your hand."

Yulan cried out as she took out a potion from her spatial device. She handed it to him and said.

"Drink it, it will heal it."

"No need. Let it be a reminder for me not to do such a stupid thing again."

Neo answered as he distanced himself from her. He stood up as he walked toward the exit of the building.

Before he could go far, he was tackled from the back as he fell down. Turning around, he saw Yulan looking at him with an angry look and a crying face.

"What are you talking about, idiot?"

Yulan shouted as she sat on his waist, making sure that he wouldn’t be able to stand up. With one hand, she pushed Neo down, and with the other, she forced him to drink the potion.

Helpless, he could only gulp it down as she let go of the bottle, seeing the empty contents. Looking at Neo angrily, she punched him on his chest.

Although her attack looked fierce, they were light enough not to do any damage. Neo just lay there silently on the ground as he watched Yulan vent her emotions.

"What do you mean by a reminder?"

"Do you want me to be filled with guilt for the rest of my life?"

"You saved my life, and my life is precious. So you, who saved this life, have become even more precious."

"So let our bond be a reminder for you, a reminder not to do stupid things again."

"Your life is valuable, so don’t throw it away again, idiot."

"And don’t you dare distance yourself from me. I have become your best friend, and if you dare distance yourself, I shall chase you to the ends of the world."

"Understand."

Yulan spoke in one breath as she glared at Neo. Hearing her words, Neo remained silent. Seeing that he wasn’t talking, Yulan couldn’t help but pout.

Tears once again dropped from her eyes as in an instant she turned from a fierce girl to a pitiful girl.

Seeing such a quick transformation, Neo couldn’t help but smile. That smile quickly turned into laughter as he forced his body up.

He held Yulan so that she wouldn’t fall. He hugged her tightly as he brought his mouth near her ears and whispered.

"Well, I guess I will have to be friends with this idiotic girl."

"Then let’s walk together into a distant future."

"Also, you win, idiot. My name is Neo, and let’s be friends."

As Neo hugged her, her cheeks reddened, but she hugged him back. His whisper reached her ears as she couldn’t help but smile.

"Who are you calling an idiot?"

"This lady is smart, ok."

Yulan complained as she bit his ears. Neo screamed in pain as he tried to free himself, but Yulan hugged him even tighter as if to never let go.

Feeling helpless, he let her do his thing. After a while, she let go of him as they looked at each other and smiled.

"So what do we do now? We are considered murderers now."

"We, as far as I remember, it was you who killed the boss."

"Same thing."

"What same thing? I don’t remember being a part of an evil organization and having a cool nickname."

"Sorry, sorry. If I find another evil organization, I will call you to join."

"No, I won’t join you. I shall punish you if you do so. As for the punishment, it’s for me to decide."

"Yay, yay, My lady, you can decide my punishment if I do bad again."

"So do you want me to cover for you?"

"No need, I shall repay all the family myself."

"But don’t you need the money for something else?"

"Yes, but I will find some other way."

"Well, if you need it, do ask me. I can loan you the money, though you will have to be my butler for a while."

"Well, then, I shall never take a loan from you."

"We will see."

On the other side of the world, Jiayi, clad in a black suit, put the glass orb down. Yuqing, on the side, was watching all the things that played out with an auntie smile.

There was no way they would have let Yulan venture into danger without protection. This was a test given by them to Yulan and Neo.

If Neo had ignored Yulan, or made her fail in this test, or not protected Yulan in that last moment, his test could have been considered a failure.

"So, did that boy pass your test?"

Yuqing asked as she looked at her husband, who seemed to be holding back his anger. Well, he will be angry after all, although he had accepted it; his daughter was stolen right under his nose.

"Well, for now."

Jiayi replied as he looked at the smiling Neo. His cold eyes had disappeared, and if he remembers correctly, this was the first smile of this boy’s life.

He was also a little surprised; he hadn’t expected such a cold boy to almost give up his life for another. It seems the boy had a kinder heart than he initially thought.

Just from his look, he could tell that Yulan had managed to carve a place for herself in this boy’s closed-off heart.

"Well, now we won’t have to worry about our daughter too much."

Yuqing replied, and relief was visible in her eyes. After all, in this world of lords, although humanity seems united, if there is enough profit, they won’t mind thrusting a knife into each other’s backs.

It’s very hard to create a bond in this world, and if one stays alone for the entirety of the Lord’s continent, the killing that will happen there will greatly affect one’s mind.

They, as experienced lord, know what it’s like to be always under the threat of death, always having to fight war, having to kill their own kin.

In such an environment, lonely children may grow crooked, and such a development isn’t good in the long run. Such type of people will grow to be untrustworthy and may betray even their friends in a single breath.

"Well, we should go now. The situation in the deep Void hasn’t been settled."

Yuqing said as she put down the glass orb in her storage space.

"Yes.. The Deep Voids danger has increased threefold, and if something isn’t done soon, then it will continue to increase."

"Well, I heard that various Angela and undead lords have moved in mass."

"Hmm.. I will look deeper into that. They must have some relation to this accident."

After saying that, they looked at each other and disappeared from the world. Almost all the Human Alliance’s top power also disappeared as they got ready to prepare for the hard days ahead.

Back to present...

Neo broke out of his thought as he looked at the chat. Yulan was still waiting for him. She was silent. It seems she understood how much this thing meant for him.

Lily, from the side, was slowly massaging his shoulder as she had already opened her domain to give him a pleasant environment in which to be lost in his thoughts.

"Is the massage to your liking, My Lovely Lord~"

Lily’s sweet voice rang out in his ears as he felt a little itchy.

"Well, how can I not like my dear Lily’s massage?"

After saying that, he focused his attention back toward the chat. He took a deep breath and readied himself to say his biggest secret.

-=-=-=-=-=-

Neo: Sorry to keep you waiting.

Yulan: It’s ok, so spill it. Your secret that even I don’t know. It must be a big secret otherwise I will punish you for creating such a suspenseful environment.

Neo: Well...

Neo: I am a reincarnated person.
