Chapter 791: The Prophecy of Life and Death Facing Each Other
"Of course there’s a difference," Ye Fan said as if it were obvious. "Even though the meals aren’t different, the place where we eat is vastly different. Eating alone in a private lounge versus eating with a group, the difference is naturally there."His words to the trainees were indeed harsh, but there was a reason for it. Even if the trainees were disappointed in him, it didn’t matter. He never intended to form any strong bonds with these trainees present. After completing his half-month instructor duty, he’d leave, so it wouldn’t be possible to stay with them. Why bother to establish a good image?
Besides, he saw no need to form good relationships with these trainees. Later, they would be people from different worlds with no intersection. Whether or not the trainees remembered him, liking or disliking him, he was indifferent.
Even if the trainees became despondent or disappointed in him, he had his ways to make sure they persevered and completed the training.
What Ye Fan didn’t expect was Fu Huixia’s lack of discretion, as she immediately exposed his lie.
Fu Huixia can care about the trainees’ emotions, but he doesn’t. These trainees aren’t children, so why bother to consider their emotions when acting? It’s completely unnecessary.
Shen Tingting and Qian Weiguo understood Ye Fan’s style, so they stayed silent and dared not speak too harshly.
"He’s intentionally saying some heartless words to deliberately distance himself from the trainees. Logically, it’d be nice if he had better feelings towards them, which I’d be happy to see, but now I can’t say anything. I can’t expose his thoughts or force him." Zhang Lu, after contemplating, understood Ye Fan’s intentions and fell silent.
"I know you don’t like crowds. I agreed to the trainees’ request to ask you to talk with them privately. It’s my fault for pestering you like this, but as an assistant, I’ve never seen a coach like you. Everyone’s eating the same food, so why would you purposely target the trainees and act like you look down on them? Why are you doing this?" Fu Huixia asked Ye Fan with grievance and resentment.
"I have my own things to do. Being an instructor is to enhance your abilities, that’s my duty. I believe, excellently as you are, you certainly won’t disappoint me and will persevere, living up to the high hopes above."
"I dread trouble finding me the most. Just a few days ago, a suitor of Miss Fu Huixia intruded into the base, spoke rudely and arrogantly. For such a person, I disdain them. If they anger me, I’d slap them to death without hesitation, but I can’t just do that. I have to consider others’ feelings because, in the end, that is a human life. Everyone here has gone through trials of blood and storms, participated in many battles, so killing is commonplace for you, but if I act on my own accord, I’ll inevitably offend some people. You all understand, many of you have backgrounds. If I kill one among you, it’ll certainly cause quite a stir, not that I fear such troubles, it’s just that I disdain dealing with minor issues like this. If not dealt with, it will cause a crisis, and if dealt with, it’ll attract more to their deaths."
"I’m different from you all. You all have organizational beliefs, but I don’t. I act solely on my preferences, accustomed to acting independently, just fearing some ignorant clowns jumping out wanting to foolishly confront me."
"If I act decisively, it’ll displeasure some people within the organization, and there are people within who genuinely respect and value me, like Fu Huixia’s grandfather. For such people, I also value them. I don’t want to make it difficult for them, but for those clowns to realize their ignorance, I’ll definitely do some things that go against the organization’s principles, which is something I hope to avoid seeing."
"If I go easy and show some people face, they’ll think I’m easy to bully."
"Honestly, I’ve killed people from your organization before, and Zhang Lu knows this best because of the long time we’ve interacted. I’ve helped you complete high-difficulty tasks more than once, Zhang Lu, Shen Tingting, Qian Weiguo, Chi Qinyuan, and Gao Qiang among you all know a bit, some even directly participated."
"I say these things to explain one issue: I truly don’t want to establish good relations with you all. There’s no guarantee that in the future, you won’t take a hostile path against me. I’m very aware of this. You shouldn’t rush to argue that you can’t be hostile to me. You have beliefs, and orders from superiors serve as decrees with unavoidable reasons to obey."
"In case there comes a day we take a hostile path, I won’t be lenient. As a strong person, especially one who has slain several Human Body Limit strongmen, I won’t care so much. Life and death confrontation is as simple as either you die or I die."
"You surely think my words are alarmist, but I’m speaking truthfully. Zhang Lu, Shen Tingting, and Qian Weiguo, who know my true identity, understand this better than anyone else. Because of this, they know my words could very well happen with no exaggeration."
"It’s precisely because Zhang Lu and the others know my true identity that they understand better than anyone among you. I’ve explained so much, but it’s out of respect for you."
Ye Fan was indifferent to whether the others could accept his words. He simply spoke his mind completely.
For a moment, all the trainees were lost in deep thought. Ye Fan’s words deeply shook them, making them consider things and scenarios they never thought about before.
"We won’t stand against the instructor."
Now, this question became suspenseful. Without hearing the instructor’s words, they would’ve undoubtedly and decisively declared it, but now there were many doubts.
On this question, it was Zhang Lu, who interacted most closely with the instructor, that had the right to speak. But when they looked hopefully at Zhang Lu, hoping to see that Ye Fan’s words were exaggerated, they found there was no way they’d stand against the instructor, only to find no such message.
They simultaneously realized Zhang Lu’s tacit acknowledgment that it was possible one among them might one day become enemies with their benefactor and instructor.
The instructor, who made their abilities transform massively, wasn’t he a great benefactor?
