Colonial Suit

Chapter 432: I'll be back! Because someone will cry for me!

Blood瞳 didn't know how much his words moved Singer, but he didn't care. Back then, Hensel was much more domineering, taking him on board almost without asking. He at least inquired, which could be considered fulfilling his duty as the sect leader.【 |】~~

Speaking of which, Blood瞳 and Hensel were the same type of person. It's just that Blood瞳 had a more indifferent and ruthless personality than Hensel.

Of course… also more decisive.

The night was long, and the commotion in Shangri-La finally subsided. No one knew what Singer had said to the leader, but Blood瞳 received the best treatment: a clean room of dozens of square meters, a comfortable large bed, enough hot water, and even… a stove. The stove was filled with charcoal, which was an unimaginable luxury on X35 nights.

Blood瞳 knew that even the leader of the gathering point might not be able to enjoy such treatment. But he didn't show any surprise. At his level, external pleasures were dispensable. The most luxurious hotel and the most humble tent were the same to Blood瞳. As long as he wanted, he could live comfortably.

After taking a bath, he climbed onto the bed and fell asleep.

At the same time, on the other side of the gathering point, Singer was taking large puffs of smoke. A long row of wine bottles was in front of him. Beside him, a large man, equally burly but missing an arm, was quietly watching him. It was Haji, the leader of Shangri-La, the Spearman.

Few people knew how close Haji and Singer were. They could be said to be partners who had crawled out of piles of dead bodies together. They had adventured and fought together. It was only when Haji's hand was bitten off in a battle with a mutated beast that he separated from Singer and entered Shangri-La. With his rich experience and leadership, he eventually became the leader.

If there was anyone on X35 who could talk to Singer, it would be this equally burly man.

"You seem agitated. Did something go wrong on this adventure?" Haji picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, then beckoned to the girl next to him.

"Another barrel of rum, good girl. Put it on his tab."

"Hey, Haji, even if you're the leader, you can't drink too much. You still have to take people out hunting tomorrow," the girl replied with a smile. But she still struggled to carry over a barrel of rum, placing it heavily next to Haji. "For Singer's sake, this is the last barrel. He hasn't been back in a long time, you should keep him company."

"I know… I know…" Haji waved his hand with a smile. "I'll put in a good word for you. If this guy gets drunk, maybe you'll have a chance to climb into his bed."

"Haji, are you asking for it?" The girl immediately became angry and pretended to hit Haji.

The bar burst into laughter, and everyone showed friendly smiles. That was the good thing about Shangri-La, it had a strong sense of human touch, which was a rare warmth in the apocalypse, and therefore attracted a large number of wandering hunters.

Shangri-La… Doesn't the name say it all?

The laughter gradually subsided, but Haji ignored those troublemakers and poured another glass of wine for Singer. Then he sat down opposite him with a thud, his eyes fixed on Singer.

"Speak, buddy. Haven't we always been like this? We've never been afraid of any difficulties. Why are you so worried? This isn't like you…"

Singer didn't answer, but grabbed the glass and drank it all in one gulp. The mellow wine flowed down his cheeks. After a while, he slammed down the empty glass and looked at Haji.

"I said, old buddy. If I were to leave, what would you think?"

"Leave? Go where?" Haji grinned, his eyes full of undisguised sarcasm. "Back to that damned Land of Paradise? Don't be silly, buddy. I've said before that place isn't for you. You've been muddling along for so many years and you're still just a captain. Although you're doing a good job, you're still not satisfied, are you? There are still many things that make you helpless. Faced with power, you're as powerless as you were in the beginning."

"If you ask me, you might as well come back here. The two of us can partner up like before and develop Shangri-La well. Maybe we can even become lords in the future. Isn't that better than being a soldier?"

As he said this, a hint of excitement flashed in Haji's eyes. He was obviously looking forward to partnering with Singer again.

But to his surprise, Singer showed no interest this time, only drinking in silence. After a long time, he sighed and said to Haji.

"This time is different, old buddy. I… I'm afraid I'm going to a very far place."

"Very far? How far can you go? Can you even fly out of X35?" Haji asked with a smile, his tone indescribably strange.

Singer didn't care about that, but nodded seriously. "Maybe I will."

"What!?" Haji's eyes widened. "Are you kidding? Buddy, this isn't like you."

"I'm not kidding. You know, I'm more serious than ever," Singer replied. He poured himself another glass of wine. "Do you remember the man who brought me back just now? He actually got a separate room, a bed… and a damned stove. That's a luxury even I don't have! What makes me even more annoyed is that it's all free."

"It's him," Singer waved his hand. "Don't feel bad about those things. I'm telling you, you can't afford to offend that person."

"Ha, even if he exists, you can't afford to offend him?"

"That's right," Singer nodded heavily. He said to Haji seriously, "Even I can't afford to offend him."

Seeing Singer's solemn expression, the smile on Haji's face froze, and after a while, it slowly disappeared, and he began to take it seriously. "Don't lie to me. As far as I know, you've already reached the strength of a vassal of a cosmic mercenary. You're the strongest guy on this planet. Even you can't afford to offend him… then isn't he…?"

"That's right," Singer interrupted Haji and reiterated, "Although he hasn't said it yet, I guess, he might be that kind of person…"

"Ah…" Haji was completely stunned, pointing his finger at the sky. "Are you saying…"

"It's what you think," Singer replied. "We went out together before. I'll tell you the truth, I went to find that demon!"

"That demon? You're crazy!!" Haji was so frightened that he almost jumped up. "You'll kill everyone! That's just a legend, isn't it? Why are you so obsessed with it? And after so long, maybe it's already dead."

"You know that's not just a legend," Singer's voice suddenly rose, but it deflated after a moment. "What I want to tell you isn't this, but another thing. I can't tell you the specifics, I can only say that I found that demon, but I can't beat it. Not only that, I can't even stop it. In the end… that man took care of it."

"Heavens… was it him?" Haji opened his mouth wide in disbelief, looking at Singer.

"It was him, and he didn't even use his full strength," Singer dropped another bombshell. Finally, he looked at Haji seriously.

"You know what, old buddy, this is the first time I've seen power beyond mortals. You can't imagine what I saw. It's divine power, the terrifying power that only the legendary gods possess. Although I can't tell you the specific process, I can tell you that if he wants to, he can even destroy this planet. No one can stop him."

"Thump!" Haji sat heavily on the chair, his eyes dull. "This… this is impossible…"

"I thought so at first, but I can't doubt my own eyes," Singer looked at Haji with pity, pushing a glass of wine in front of him. "Have a drink, old buddy. Maybe this will make you feel better."

"…………" Haji was silent, and after a long time, he picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp. Then he slammed the glass heavily on the table.

"So, you're going to follow him?"

"He extended an invitation to me," Singer twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing an expression that was neither crying nor smiling. "You know, I've always wanted to join that group, but I never had the chance. Originally, entering the Land of Paradise was also hoping to get their recommendation. But I worked there for several years and didn't get any results. I was already desperate."

"But I never thought I would see a turning point here."

"Then why are you still hesitating?" Haji drank the glass of wine, and it really relaxed him a lot. "You've waited so long to get this opportunity, I thought you would leave with him immediately."

"You know what I'm worried about…" At this point, Singer lowered his head again, his emotions becoming a little depressed. "If I leave… who will take care of you?"

"Get lost!" Haji scolded with a smile. "Don't put on a sissy act with me. Don't I know you? You're not worried about us, you're worried about her, right?"

As he said this, Haji glanced at the bar girl not far away, giving Singer a knowing look.

"Lia… is a good girl…"

"I know," Singer lowered his head, his tone a little low. "But I'm not suitable for her… my profession is too dangerous. She should find a stable husband and live the rest of her life happily. Once I leave, I don't know when I'll be back, maybe… never…"

"You're really a coward," Haji slammed his hand on the table and shouted. "You're both obviously interested in each other, so what are you pretending to be? Don't tell me that you're never coming back. You'll never get stronger that way."

Saying that, he twisted his neck and shouted to the people in the bar. "Brothers, come here! Whoever gets this guy drunk today, I'll give him double pay!"

"Roar!! Boss, no problem!" A chorus of jeers immediately rang out in the bar, and a group of burly men leaned over with malicious intentions. Soon, piles of wine barrels drowned Singer…

Behind them, Haji winked at Lia, the bar girl. The girl blushed immediately…

Not many people knew what happened that night, but when Blood瞳 woke up early the next morning, Singer was already waiting outside his door, carrying a large backpack. His face was covered with red marks.

Looking at his embarrassed expression, Blood瞳 couldn't help but smile. "Looks like you had a more fulfilling night than I imagined."

"…………" Singer didn't dare to answer, but his face turned black.

Blood瞳 didn't waste any time and said to him directly. "Did you want the suggestion I mentioned last night?"

"I want to go with you!" Singer replied decisively. "I know that's what you want to say."

"Very good," Blood瞳 nodded, looked at Singer seriously again, and then asked solemnly, "Have you thought about it? Once you leave, you only have two paths: become stronger, or die. There is no third option. If you become stronger, you will get everything you want, but if you die, you will just be a piece of space junk. No one will look at you twice, and no one will cry for you."

"Someone will cry for me," Singer replied loudly, then gritted his teeth. "So… I won't die."

"I will be back! I swear!"
