Lance was really frightened to pieces.
He never thought that he would run into an assassin by attending a conference, and didn't expect the entire cruise to become a terrifying place.
If he hadn't run into Jiang Ning, he would definitely die today!
"Of course they're gone. You think they'd rather die at my hands?" Jiang Ning was very calm and his voice carried a tinge of disdain. He looked at the corridor one more time, scoffed coldly, then shut the door again.
These assassins were smart enough. After encountering him once, they knew that Jiang Ning wasn't someone they could afford to offend.
If they dared to come near and pose any threat to Lin Yuzhen, Jiang Ning would wring their necks without hesitation.
"Just stay here and don't worry," said Jiang Ning. "Once they're done killing everyone on their name list, they'll leave."
Lance opened his mouth and swallowed.
His name was probably on that list.
He didn't dare to go out, because he would surely die.
Lance sat down and his frightened and cautious expression no longer carried any of his gentlemanly aura. He now wished he could just sit on Jiang Ning's lap and never leave Jiang Ning.
"They're so cruel?" Lin Yuzhen had gone through many things with Jiang Ning, but something like this still made her feel a little afraid.
She didn't think of getting Jiang Ning to be a hero and rescue the other passengers, because that was too dangerous.
Those assassins weren't after them, so there was no need for Jiang Ning to take such a risk. Jiang Ning wasn't going to be responsible for anyone's safety except hers.
"This world is just that cruel," said Jiang Ning. "You can see all these people getting killed now, but you didn't see that their filthy hands were also covered with blood."
He looked towards Lance.
Tve never killed anybody!" he quickly defended himself.
There was no hatred that came out from nowhere. There was a reason for
everything.
"That's the way we survive," Lance shook his head. "It's always been like this, and it's impossible to change it."
"Have you tried changing it?”
Jiang Ning looked at him, but Lance couldn't respond at all.
Of course he had never tried to change anything, and it didn't even cross his mind to try. These were the rules to survival for so many centuries now, so it was a normal thing to him.
Sometimes he would find it cruel and would feel a little guilt and unwillingness inside, but he didn't think he could change anything.
"You've never even tried, so how could you say that it can't be changed? You just don't want to change," said Jiang Ning. "Since you don't want to change, then you will continue in this way. So even if you end up dying on this cruise, you deserve it!"
