There was a deep resolve behind Xinghe's eyes and Ali's group had heard every single word she said. There was only one question on their minds: Is she kidding? She wants to help us turn our lives around?
That was a pipe dream in Country Y, actually, that was a pipe dream anywhere in the world. People were born with a certain destiny, they just had to learn to live with it; there was no changing of destiny.
"Xinghe, what are you talking about?" Ali asked with a curious expression.
Sam laughed. "Your words are pleasing to the ears but you're the one who needs the most help at the moment."
Wolf continued expressionlessly, "Sam's right, you've been targeted by Barron and while you do know some self-defense skills, it's not enough. You need us to protect you, we can talk about the rest when this danger's over."
Cairn smiled good-naturedly. He also thought that Xinghe was just consoling them with empty words.
