Zod had another dream, the same dream that had recurred recently, only this time the eyes in the sky had been replaced by an old, gloomy face.

It was a very familiar face, exactly what he saw when he opened his eyes now.

Struggling to get up, the pain in his abdomen dispelled the thought, and he tumbled off the stone bed and fell to the ground, the hard collision of the stone cave making him grunt.

"Tut-tut, look at the way you are now, I can't believe how disappointing it is that the child who was once the proudest of me has fallen to this point!"

Tortured by the pain, Zod knew that although the location of his knife was not fatal, it could torture a person's nerves to the maximum extent in pain, and it was a common means to make people lose the ability to resist, but in the face of the person in front of him, he was unwilling to show the slightest weakness and submission.

It's just that I've taught you countless times that you have to use your brains to kill people, and one day you will be surpassed by the young and strong juniors with your strength alone, and that will be your death period, how can you realize it now? I used to think that your talent was not bad, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn!"

"I'm not a killer, I'm not alive to kill, how many times do you tell you old bastard before you understand!" Zode finally eased up, pressed his hand against the wound and struggled to get up, gritting his teeth at the old man, as if he had great hatred for this person.

More than 20 years ago, I picked you up and cultivated you as a killer, and what you learned and did proved that you were an out-and-out killer, and you couldn't change anything by denying it. Take it as an example, try your best to deny the teacher-student relationship between you and me, and ignore my kindness to you for more than ten years, isn't this style of six relatives not recognizing it just the killer's style!"

Zod's tone suddenly flickered: "I will pay you back!"

"How can you pay it back, just like the knife you gave me when you left last time? Your life was given by me, what do you give me back!" the old man tore off the clothes on his chest, and there was a terrible old wound lying on his still strong chest.

"It's a big deal, I'll pay you with my life!"

"Do you think you're going to leave here alive? You belong here, and your fate is up to you since you re-enter the Exiles!"

"Shut up, if Lao Tzu is not voluntary, no one can force it, I was deceived by you back then and I will be at your mercy. Your suit can only be used to scare children, Lao Tzu was able to escape from here more than ten years ago, and now he can!"

The old man said with a mocking face: "Is it just the way you are now! If I hadn't let people deliberately spare your life, would you still be able to poke here and talk to me!"

As he spoke, he beckoned to the side, only to see a person coming out of the darkness of the shadows, it was Jay, who had stabbed Zod before, standing respectfully beside the old man, and his personality was completely different from the one he had shown in the tavern before.

Zod understood from the moment he was stabbed that the origin and identity of this child, being able to set a trap according to his own personality and having this disguise kung fu and good skills, who can train such a young killer except for the 'old monster' in front of him, will never think twice.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Zod didn't have much hatred in his heart, once upon a time he was also standing in the position of this young man, taking this place as the sustenance of his soul, and then creating boundless killing with a distorted mood.

"Come and meet your senior brother, this is the person I told you, he used to be as talented as you, but unfortunately he turned his back on the bond between us, he turned his back on this family!

Look at how sad he is now, this is a living lesson, don't pour your feelings into anyone, we just need to put trust and righteousness into our 'family', and we can overcome all the difficulties in this world!"

"Hahaha......" Zod sneered, which naturally caused the old man to be very unhappy.

"That's a good point! Your dignified 'bloody' thief St. Harr Roger raped and killed the princess of the Heron Empire, in order to escape the pursuit of the royal master, he faked his death and escaped, and he lived here for decades, and he didn't dare to leave this place to trick the orphans into working for you to make a profit, so he really overcame many difficulties to survive, I really can't help but admire it! hahahaha......"

Listening to Zod's taunts, the gloomy old man, or the saint-level master who had once made people smell on the mainland, Hal Roger, was silent with a gloomy face, and waited until Zod's laughter gradually subsided before he spoke again substantially.

"I have never shied away from my own past, and I have not deceived or forced anyone to die for me, including you, I just provided a chance for you to live and taught you the ability to protect yourself in this troubled world, if you think this is not for me to have nothing to say.

But what about you? If your master knows your true past, do you think he will be okay with it!"

In Zod's eyes, all the words were, but the last sentence made him change color before he fell.

"Don't be so strange, why do I know that gathering intelligence isn't what killers are best at! Besides, with your hypocrisy and cowardice, I don't believe you'll confess to anyone.

You see, deep down you don't trust anyone at all, and you don't belong anywhere in the world except here!

Thanks to you, you also set up a group of thieves called 'weeping blood', and your weak performance is worthy of the name of blood, but I didn't expect your performance to become more and more unbearable later, and you actually surrendered to a stinky boy.

But looking at this, I also understand a thing or two, I must have a lot of trust in you to be able to hand over such a good magic weapon to you!" said Hal Roger, who played with the 'cursed horn' in his hand.

"But since you are a robber, you should look like a robber, that kid's net worth must be very rich, it stands to reason that you should find a chance to kill him to make a big profit, what?

Why don't I send someone to help you ...... that kid?"

"Shut up!" Zod shouted angrily, despite the crack in the wound, but then gasped and became a little decadent: "Anyway, what do you want...... I admit it!"

"Don't worry, you will suffer later! Since you dare to betray me, you must be ready to pay for it with your life, and you can struggle in purgatory to show me!"

Leaving this sentence at that, Hal Roger smirked and turned to leave, and Jaydo glanced at Zod and followed.

Looking at the distant backs of the two, Zod fell to his knees, and he knew that he might not really be able to go back alive.
