He had always thought it was a vague concept, but now it seemed to embody some rigid substantive rules.
Huang Zixian explained, "In the Inner World, one must highly value loyalty, faithfulness, and promises. Zhou Mo took the money from Begonia Boxing Gym but was afraid to fight and made Boss Jiang lose face. This is considered a violation of the rules of trust, so he had to suffer the consequences. Also, once you join a clan in this Inner World, you cannot betray it, otherwise, you'll become an outcast. If anyone shelters a traitor, all clans can unite to attack."
Qing Chen nodded; he understood this.
The rule was a mechanism established by the rulers for their benefit. With this rule in place, anyone thinking of betraying the clan or breaking faith had to think twice.
However, the fact that such rules existed in the underground world of the Inner World was somewhat surprising to him.
