Not only once or twice had He Juan asked the same question to himself. Every time he returned from another long-awaited meeting only to sense that He Xie was drifting further away from him, he found himself wondering, 'Would it be better if I had just kept him by my side like Marius did to his little brother?'
Alas, every time he was swayed, he would end up recalling the gruesome death of the people in his line of business. As swiftly as wind, they were not even given the chance to bid goodbye for death had come to reap their soul in a flash. If they were unlucky, they might even meet a devil like He Juan who would not allow them to have a peaceful death. Call him biased, but He Juan thought that he would not be able to live on if the same thing had happened to his brother, and thus he remained resolute in his decision.
If this was what it took to keep him safe, then so be it.
