One led Shang to an isolated place at the side of the hill and asked him about what had happened.
Shang told everything to One without keeping any secrets. He told him the same stuff he told the officer.
"Honestly, the signal flare you gave me might have saved my life," Shang said. "I didn't need our superior to win the battle, but if the enemy had more time, the other four would have died. With them dead, everyone would have focused on me."
"I might have still won, but I wouldn't have been in any position to block the Firebombs, which would result in the True Path Stage beast going on a rampage."
Shang was telling the truth. If the enemy thought that they had far more time, they wouldn't have thrown the Firebombs this early.
One had actually saved Shang's life to some degree.
"I'm paying you good money," One said with a voice that told Shang that he thought this issue was irrelevant. "But there is something more important."
