"Got it," Jiang Ning didn't say too much and hung up.
He looked at the urn in Brother Gou's hands and felt terrible inside. 18 was the number he was given, but his real name was Liu Hui.
After finding out about Number 18's family background, Jiang Ning blamed himself even more.
It wasn't the first time he was going through something like this. All the faces of his comrades from before and all those who sacrificed their lives in front of his very eyes seemed to appear one by one in front of him.
They had sacrificed themselves but they didn't even have the chance to make a name for themselves, becaue they were people who walked in the darkness to make the world a brighter place.
There was no such thing as peaceful days. Things were peaceful only because someone had taken on the unrest in the
darkness.
Jiang Ning knew that this path they were on would definitely lead them to death.
Even he knew this very early on.
But every time he went through the passing on of someone else, he would still be sad. But as long as he held this position, then he was not allowed to reveal any sadness on his face.
"Number 18 said that he didn't dare to go home because he was afraid that his parents would be disappointed, he was afraid that others would say he was involved in illegal activity, and say that he was going to be a gangster for life, the kind of person who just barely scraped a meal together and waited to die, the kind of person with no pride nor dignity..."
Brother Gou gently rubbed his hand against Number 18's urn and laughed bitterly. "Everyone always looked down on people like us. They felt that we were all trash, and our lives were a mistake in the first place."
"But during this period of time, we found our own path and we know that we can do many things and we can protect many people too."
Brother Gou's eyes were getting teary. "They would also protect us in return, they would trust us and respect us too."
This was how all the wolves really felt deep inside their hearts.
Before following Jiang Ning, they would only incur the wrath of others, be looked down upon, hated and even cursed by others.
But now they enjoyed being respected by others, and they also knew very well that their shoulders now carried something called responsibility.
They had something that they had to protect even if it cost them their lives!
"So Big Boss, don't blame yourself. Number 18 said before that being able to follow you was the best thing that happened to him, so even dying is worth
it."
Jiang Ning didn't say anything.
