Years ago, when Ni Qianjun was but a greenhorn little mercenary, during a common mission, his elder brother Ni Huo and he were ambushed by a Dark Beast, and an old mercenary of their group sustained serious injuries protecting their leader. At that time, they were surrounded by enemies, with no certainty of escape.
Without any supplies ahead and Fierce Beasts behind, Ni Huo did not heed Ni Qianjun's pleas to save the injured old mercenary; he killed the old man with his own hands.
Ni Qianjun would forever remember that night when his elder brother stayed awake the entire night. He buried the old mercenary and told himself in a heavy voice, "Better to let him die swiftly than to live in such agony. Remember, a successful mercenary should never let anyone or anything hold back your pace."
"I'll take you to the camp, to meet the brothers in the group," Ni Qianjun suddenly realized, perhaps he had not truly investigated Yue Jinghua's background thoroughly.
