I Promise!

Yun Yang sat quietly but he did not have to wait for long.

Just as the eleventh hour came around, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the staircase.

It sounded like there was only one person, the heavy footfalls solid and determined.

There was only a momentary hesitation when the person came to the door but the footsteps began again almost immediately. Resolute, there were no further pauses after the initial one.

A smile of assurance and admiration hung on the corners of Yun Yang’s lips.

It was only human to pause before the door.

Even the greatest hero, one who disregarded death itself, would still hesitate when facing such a situation.

Going another step further would precipitate the possibility of being killed while taking one step back meant that the person would still be able to roam the world freely.
