"You must, Alix. There's no time to argue," Arnoux said firmly. "I'll hold them off as long as I can, but you have to go. Promise me you'll take care of the others."
Alix nodded, his throat tight with emotion. "I pro-... Father, I can't leave you behind." Alix's voice choked with emotion, tears streaming down his face.
"Son, listen to me. You see this..." Arnoux took out a red pill, showing it to Alix. "This pill can heal my injuries immediately and can boost my strength to Opening Qi Realm. So you don't have to worry, nothing will happen to me, and if we don't do anything, we all gonna die here, do you want to see these people die here?"
Alix looked at the others who were already almost at their limit.
"I understand, but you need to promise me you will come back alive. There are still mom and sister waiting for you."
"I will..." Arnoux smiles at Alix warmly.
