The officer in golden armor was calm and steadfast at first, but after the conversation with the vice-captain, he was not anymore. In a shaking voice, he said, "If this Ye Xiao… If he is a member of the Ye Clan, a nineteen years old genius young man… If he dies in the Nine Death Trials… Well, then…"
The vice-captain's face twitched and he said, "If he is… If that is true… I am afraid… that we will be…"
The two of them exchanged a hint through eye contact, and both found fear in each other's eyes.
The next moment.
The two of them rushed out and ran as fast as they could toward the entrance of the Nine Death Trials.
'No, no, no, no… Please don't let that guy die in here… No, please don't…'
'If he dies, we will die with him. Well, maybe worse. It would be easier if only the two of us die… I am afraid… All our families would die as well!'
