I have the power to enhance my strength, the power to save people. I will use it. If I see someone being bullied or in danger, I will also rush to their aid.
But the premise of all this is that I can, or rather, I am willing to!
I might be in danger of losing myself when wielding this power, I might make mistakes when saving people.
But so what?
As long as I follow my heart, that’s enough!
I ain’t no saint, not a bad guy either, just a damnd ordinary person!
And now, this ordinary person is about to do what ordinary people do!”
Dean McKenzie’s ordeal today scorched his heart like a raging fire.
After the fire, Dean McKenzie can’t say he sees his true nature, but at least, he has found the strength to support his spirit!
To follow his heart.
And Dean McKenzie now has three things in mind, the first is saving people! The skeletons under Dean McKenzie’s command sprang into action, quickly moving the surviving people and resources of the Blackwater Mine into the Land of Bone.
After the rescue operation, Dean McKenzie took Peter Richardson, who was now in a vegetative state, back to Blackwater City!
To be precise, he returned to the Rescue Center of Blackwater City.
“Culver? Why are you back?
Was the job not going well?
I don’t mean to berate you, but work is never easy. Good jobs are hard to come by, so bear with them if you can?
Or did you discover something?
Is there a problem with that place?”
Dean McKenzie did not hide his tracks after returning to the Rescue Center, and to his surprise, the head of the Rescue Center recognized him at first sight. Listening to the other party’s challenging yet caring words, Dean McKenzie exhaled deeply.
He came here to further confirm whether this person in charge was the same as he had known before.
From the other party’s initial reaction, it seemed that he was.
But Dean McKenzie couldn’t be sure.
So, after a moment’s hesitation, he looked at the man in shock and said, “Director Gordon, everyone…everyone’s dead at Blackwater Mine. I was the only one who escaped!”
“What did you say?”
Hearing this, the director of the Rescue Center, Enzo Richardson, turned pale.
Then he interrogated Dean McKenzie relentlessly.
No matter how much he prodded, Dean McKenzie kept repeating the same sentence in terror: ‘Everyone at Blackwater Mine is dead, I was the only one who escaped’.
Unable to get any more information after several attempts, the director could only arrange for someone to take care of Dean McKenzie while he left the Rescue Center.
After leaving the Rescue Center, Enzo Richardson’s initial plan was to report to the Alliance Headquarters.
But after only a few steps, he stopped.
Then, gritting his teeth, he went to Blackwater Mine first.
When he arrived at Blackwater Mine and saw all the miners dead, Enzo Richardson’s eyes turned red.
The fact that Enzo Richardson was able to call out Dean McKenzie’s name, or remember Dean McKenzie’s buddies, was not by chance.
He truly remembered every person he had saved at his Rescue Center.
So, he could accurately identify all the corpses at this mine site, and he could even tell when these people entered the Rescue Center and when they left.
He used to think that he had found a good home for these people.
In the dead of night, the security and happiness of these people were the best remedies for his past pain.
But now, they were all dead, right in front of him.
Worse still, one could say he was the one who pushed them into the fiery pit. Enzo could not accept this outcome. He couldn’t accept it no matter what.
So, with red eyes, he rushed back to Blackwater City and stormed into the office of the Chairman of the Professional Alliance.
“Why?”
Enzo stormed in, slammed his hands on the desk and roared at the chairman of the Professional Alliance, “Why did you do this?”
Compared to Enzo’s fury and anger, the chairman of the Alliance, a middle- aged man who looked to be in his forties, was very calm, gently wiping his glasses: “What do you mean, why?”
“Don’t play dumb with me. You were the one who vouched for the company at Blackwater Mine.
I don’t believe you don’t know about the filth behind this company!
Is this how you honor the Alliance? Is this how you serve the people of Blackwater City?”
Enzo Richardson slammed the table and roared.
The chairman seemed very calm in the face of Enzo’s roar. He wiped the glasses in his hand for a while before finally putting them down. “It’s not as bad as you think!”
Moreover, what I did was indeed right for the Alliance and the people of Blackwater City!”
“What did you say?”
Enzo roared, wanting to pounce on him.
But as a Thir-turn, how could he be a match for the Fifth-turn chairman of Blackwater City?
As soon as he lunged forward, his head was flattened on the table by a slap. “You’ve always been like this, rash, without a brain. If you weren’t my brother, you would’ve been dead by now!”
Question me, questioning me?
Do you have any idea what I’ve sacrificed for Blackwater City?
You want to know the situation of that mine? Fine, I’ll tell you!
That mine is contracted by a bishop from the Nightmare Church with the purpose of completing a Six-turn task.”
“Just like that you let him run wild in Blackwater City?”
“How could I? How could I possibly stand by and watch?”
I cleared that mine for him, and I sent our own people over.
I smoothly arranged everything for him, so he could calmly complete the Six- turn!”
“You, you bastard!”
“You think that’s what I wanted?”
Have you ever imagined the consequence if I hadn’t done that?”
He needs to complete a Six-turn task, who could discourage him from that?” If I had refused, he would have taken matters into his own hands, and then, then… Blackwater City would have suffered even more catastrophic losses.” The lives of the citizens of Blackwater City would be unbearable!
Isn’t everything good the way it is now?”
Isn’t everything good the way it is now?”
Enzo’s eyes were bloodshot, “Did you ever think about those people who were sent to the Blackwater Mine?
They’ve just barely started to live normal lives, they’ve just barely settled down, and they just want to live. What did they do wrong?”
They were in the wrong purely because they are but drifters!
They are not citizens of Blackwater City and I have no responsibility to protect them. Besides, I gave them generous benefits before their deaths.
Do you think I would have approved such funding for your Rescue Centre if they weren’t sacrificing for Blackwater City?”
“They… they…”
“Enough,shut up!”
The chairman of Blackwater City slapped Enzo across the face, “You’re not young anymore, it’s about time you grow up.
This is how the world is.
Our power is limited and we can’t save everyone. It’s already great that we’ve managed to do this much.
At least, sacrificing them, keeping the city safe; on that matter, I am blameless!”
After the chairman of Blackwater City slapped him twice, Enzo completely lost his spirit. Although his eyes were incredibly bloodshot and his fists were clenched tightly, he couldn’ t utter a word.
But even though he could not, someone else could!
“Conscience clear?! What a conscience clear!”
“This is the first time I’ve seen such a shameless person, someone who can justify working with the Fallen Professional in such a high and mighty way. Contending you have limited power, and cannot save everyone?
Yes, perhaps your power is limited and indeed you can’t save everyone but you should never harm others!
What, are the citizens of Blackwater City the only ones deserving of being called people? In your eyes, those so-called drifters aren’t humans?”
They should just be used for your sacrifices, right?
In the end, you are just a coward, one who dares not stand up to the strong but only bully the weak!”
All the talk about doing everything for Blackwater City and if someone more powerful needed something tomorrow, you could sacrifice Blackwater City in the blink of an eye!”
You are even more despicable than those Fallen Professionals!”
“Boom!”
As soon as the voice fell, the figure of Dean McKenzie appeared in the office!
