Jiang Ning and his men looked fairly gloomy after they've left the Underworld.
No one knew when and where Greedy Wolf would show up again.
The thing that Jiang Ning was certain about was when they met again, Demon King's shattered soul would've been partially pieced up. The Demon King would've fully consumed Greedy Wolf by then if the latter failed to keep him in check. A deadly rumpus would then unfold.
“It's hard to believe that Greedy Wolf would fall into a predicament like this.” Peter Pan wasn't trying to mock Greedy Wolf. He was genuinely sad for him.
They used to be pals, but things have taken a downturn.
Greedy Wolf had been arrogant all his life, even at this point where Demon King's devilish soul had gnawed into his. He knew very well that there was nothing he could do to reverse this.
“Are you sure we are going to team up with Greedy Wolf?” Peter Pan turned around and asked the silent
Jiang Ning.
“We're out of choices. The Demon King's soul is ever so powerful. The time he's fully awakened will be the time we meet our maker,” Jiang Ning explained.
The Demon King's ambition was still a mystery. What Jiang Nan knew hitherto was that Demon King was in search of the last Source—Jiang Yao.
Jiang Ning would never allow anyone to hurt Jiang Yao no matter what.
He was ready to defend Jiang Yao even if it meant sacrificing his own life.
“But joining forces with Greedy Wolfis equally risky.” Peter Pan reminded Jiang Ning. “I think that we might have to kill him when necessary.” The former was as calm as a millpond, but Jiang Ning could sense grief in those words. Greedy Wolf was Peter Pan's friend, but he was also a ticking time bomb.
Yet, Peter Pan didn't want to put his disciple in jeopardy.
That was why he came to this decision.
He and Jiang Ning said nothing after exchanging glances. That was the distasteful choice they had to make. Perhaps Greedy Wolf could smell his end closing in too. He didn't have a choice either.
