"With the friends I have now, if anything happened to me, they would definitely help," Ye Xiong said.
People like Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, and Chen Xiao would certainly lend a hand if Ye Xiong needed it.
He Mengji shook her head. "You're mistaken to think like that. Without an organization, they help you out of moral obligation. If they don't, they can still justify it. This is especially true in serious situations, like life-or-death matters. Even the kindest person might not risk their life. But with an organization, it's different. Since they're a part of it, they will fight to uphold the organization's reputation and fulfill their responsibilities. Otherwise, why would there be so many organizations in Huaxia and so many mercenaries abroad? They all come together for a common interest."
