"Lao Han, I'm truly disappointed," the middle-aged man said, devoid of his previous confidence and authority, his words heavy with deep weariness and disillusionment.
"I once believed they, like us, had seen the suffering of all living beings and thus wished to change the world, to give the people a different way to live. I never expected that as time passed, they would become no different from those Noble Families and Clans, even greedier and more brutal."
Lao Han suddenly stood up and after quite some time, he finally said, "You can't blame yourself. How many people in this world can actually see clearly? You've done your best. Even if we all die, the lives of the common folk will eventually improve—not because the Noble Families and Clans have suddenly become charitable, but because we were here."
"Perhaps this is the meaning of our existence, to let these greedy, conscienceless bastards know that what goes around comes around, and retribution is inescapable."
