"With the friends I have now, if anything happens to me, they will definitely help," Ye Xiong said.
People like Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, and Chen Xiao would certainly lend a hand if Ye Xiong needed it.
He Mengji shook her head and said, "You're mistaken to think like that. Without an organization, if they help you, it's out of morality, but if they don't, they can still justify it, especially in serious situations, like life-or-death matters. Even the kindest person may not risk their life. But with an organization, it's different. Since they're part of it, they will fight to uphold the organization's reputation and fulfill their responsibilities. Otherwise, why would there be so many organizations in Huaxia and so many mercenaries abroad? They all gather together for a common interest."
Ye Xiong felt she made sense. He had contemplated forming his own faction in the past, so that, even against formidable enemies, he would be able to protect himself and his loved ones.
