Reality

Once Yuki and the henchman landed back on the ground, Yuki let go of him and allowed him to get on his feet. From his facial expression, Yuki could tell that he was angry but also too exhausted to do anything. Yuki had rescued him from certain death but he just allowed him to continue his horrible life. Yuki had robbed the henchman of the opportunity to end his miserable life. Even though the henchman hated Yuki for his actions, it wasn't like he could do anything about it. At the end of the day. Yuki could demolish everyone in the kingdom without even trying. 

"Why did you let me live? You realize that I'll just continue to work for the gang and keep on doing horrific actions. At the end of the day, I don't have anywhere to go back to. This life and the past, in both I'll always be alone, I can't rely on anyone other than myself. As such, this is the fastest way for me to secure a half decent life," said the henchman.
