Chapter 1526: Chapter 1521: It’s God’s Intentional Arrangement

"Do I need to leave first?"

Tang Ye thought to himself, as the other’s reaction did not follow the scripted scenario, it made him somewhat lose his sense of proportion. The only thing he could think of was to forcefully enter Dairya’s home around this time at night to see what would happen, or to return to the starting point, kill those seven soldiers ahead of schedule, and meet with Bick again as dusk approached.

"Sorry, I have no influence over the person you’re talking about. In Camberlite, you’re the only Chinese person I’ve seen."

"I see, then I’ll bother the next person."

Tang Ye did not show surprise on his face. He casually replied to Bick and was about to turn around and leave, but it seemed Bick had foreseen Tang Ye’s departure and hurriedly said, "Hey, wait a moment."

"What is it?" Hearing Bick calling him, a thought sparked in Tang Ye’s mind – maybe there’s still a chance!

"I need to remind you once again, this isn’t China, this is Camberlite, where a war had taken place. Although the war has ended, in this city, apart from me, there are terrorists, mercenaries, and those invaders! You should be thankful that the person you met now is me, not any one of those dangerous individuals I mentioned!"

"Is it... is it that serious?" Tang Ye pretended to look frightened.

"I’m not joking with you. I swear to God. Of course, you might come across others like me who are not dangerous, but Lady Luck won’t always be at your side. No one knows who you’ll run into next!"

"But, as I was coming here, I didn’t see many people? It’s like there’s no one here..."

"No, there are people. They are all hiding. Every person here is a beast; they come out at night to hunt, to snatch food or other necessities from others, or even to take their lives!"

"I see. So what should I do next? Where should I go?" Tang Ye continued, showing the bewildered look expected of a newbie.

"The more people there are, the greater the hope for survival. We can band together and face the difficulties as one!"

Finally, Bick said what Tang Ye had been hoping to hear, allowing him to relax.

"Well... then it can only be so..." Pretending to be indecisive, Tang Ye went with the flow and agreed with Bick; but as soon as he did, something dawned on him that he should have realized by their second encounter!

"Wait a minute..."

After taking another look at Bick, he realized that every time they met, Bick would deliberately try to make him stay. In the first and the second encounters, Bick’s family even had dinner ready, inviting him to join them. And looking at his three children, it appeared they had not had a proper meal for a long time.

The situation here was clear; like the early Apocalypse, human food was scarce. A moldy piece of bread could lead to bloodshed! During those times, food was indeed countless times more precious than gold. Sharing food with a stranger in such conditions was like sending money to others when one’s own family couldn’t even afford to lift the lid of their pot.

Normal people should not do such a thing. Is Bick normal? Of course, he is. But for such a normal person to take these abnormal actions, there could only be one reason – Bick had an ulterior motive. But what could that be?

"In a while, I’ll take you to where I live. There are four other people there, all my family. You don’t have to worry about them threatening you; it’s absolutely safe. When the time comes, I’ll give you a surprise. But before that, I need you to help me with something."

As Bick spoke, he bent down, putting his head into the sewer, looking around for something. The surprise Tang Ye knew Bick spoke of was his elder daughter Gina. It seemed he was eager to tightly bind Tang Ye to himself using Gina. At this moment, Tang Ye acutely sensed that Bick’s responses were not right. Bick was no longer a stranger to him, having met him twice; but to Bick, Tang Ye was a complete stranger.

Having just met for less than three minutes, he invited such a stranger into his home—a family of five with only one adult man, and the other four members relatively vulnerable. In such a situation, wasn’t Bick afraid that Tang Ye might do something excessive to his family?

Was it that Bick trusted Tang Ye that much, or was he unafraid, already prepared and waiting for Tang Ye to make a move?

Narrowing his eyes, Tang Ye scrutinized the man in front of him—whom he had met a total of three times—as if he was really recognizing him for the first time. But he didn’t say anything and just nodded, signifying his agreement.

"What help? I hope I can be of assistance."

"That’s great!"

Bick nodded with satisfaction. Lying on the ground, he raised one hand and waved at Tang Ye, saying, "Follow me down. There’s something big down there that is hard to pull up just by myself."

While speaking, Bick grabbed the rope fixed next to him and dove back into the sewer. He followed the rope down and quickly stepped onto the sewer floor. Looking up, he waved his hand again, signaling for Tang Ye to come down with him.

Tang Ye did not hesitate and, imitating Bick’s movements, grasped the rope and lowered himself into the sewer.

"Need a hand?" Bick asked.

Without answering, Tang Ye landed steadily on the sewer floor. Bick was slightly surprised and commended him, "Well-done, you’re quite agile. You’ll be a good teammate."

"You... overpraise me."

"Actually, for a young person like you to do this is already quite impressive."

"What’s next?"

"Follow me."

Bick waved his hand again and led Tang Ye deeper into the sewer.

"When did you come here?"

"Yesterday, I guess."

"Haven’t you encountered others before?"

"I have, but they don’t understand Chinese."

"Hahaha, I see. I believe it’s God’s arrangement, just so happens I also speak Chinese."

"Have you lived in China before?"

"Yes, you might not believe it, but I’ve spent a third of my life in China. I studied in the ’Magic Capital.’ I seriously tell you, you should feel blessed to have been born there. Compared to Camberlite, it’s hard to believe that I would witness a war firsthand."

Bick’s eyes showed a trace of sadness, but it quickly vanished. He then asked Tang Ye, "The person you’re looking for, is she a relative of yours?"
