"Raging beast" and "Iron mountain" two mechs fell heavily, causing a tremor. Jack and Mr. Tang stood guard next to "Screamer" witnessing the changes on the battlefield, feeling pressure and exhaustion.
As the arena gradually faded, the roaring of the mechs slowly disappeared, replaced by the tranquility of the wilderness. The two stopped "Screamer" in a secluded place, breathing in the fresh air, exchanging weary glances.
In the distance, a faint flicker of firelight shimmered, guiding their way. Jack and Mr. Tang decided to follow this beacon of hope towards a distant destination.
They traversed the wilderness, overcoming rugged terrain, and drew closer to the faint firelight. Before long, they saw a simple shack, the only refuge in this vast wilderness. The two men slowed their pace, deciding to inquire about seeking shelter for the night.
A dwarf elderly man opened the door, his eyes filled with caution but maintaining a calm tone as he inquired about the purpose of the two visitors.
"May I ask who you are and what brings you here?" The old man's voice showed his caution, yet it was also kind.
Jack and Mr. Tang exchanged a glance, then Jack spoke up, "We are travelers who got lost in the wilderness. As it's getting late, we hope to stay here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow."
After the old man nodded, he pondered for a moment, gently pushed open the door, and gestured for Jack and Mr. Tang to enter. The bright light illuminated the room, creating a simple and warm atmosphere. The old man pointed to a wooden table, inviting the two to sit down.
Two people entered the cabin, feeling the warmth of the light and the peaceful environment. In this narrow but cozy space, they found their seats. Their gaze naturally moved to a small photo on the coffee table.
The photo depicted an ordinary yet wise-looking dwarf elder sitting on the grass, with a homely, short dwarf man standing beside him. Although the man's appearance was not appealing, his eyes revealed a hint of happiness.
In front of this simple photo, the eyes of the two people met, revealing surprise and curiosity. They seemed to understand the identity of the old man in front of them, who was indeed the grandfather of the dwarf man.
"This is my grandson, little bean," the old man introduced softly, his eyes filled with memories of the past. He continued, " little bean used to be a child who was laughed at because of his appearance and voice. But he did not give in. On the contrary, he proved himself in his own way."
The elderly person's tone is full of love, and he is full of praise for little bean's growth. He then talked about little bean's efforts and perseverance, and how he became the owner of "Duel Kingdom" in the "Mech Arena."
" little bean not only overcame physical difficulties, but also demonstrated outstanding intelligence and skills. He created 'Duel Kingdom' and became a giant in the world of Mech Battle. With his own strength and perseverance, he won the respect and praise of the people."
The words of the old man were like a vivid picture, telling the story of little bean. Jack and Mr. Tang couldn't help but feel a tug at their hearts, sensing the truth and fiction in the story. Although the old man's words were full of love and pride for his grandson, there was also a vague sense of uncertainty. In fact, little bean's life was not as bright and beautiful as the old man described. He was involved in many illegal activities in reality, including selling weapons and associating with criminal organizations. Additionally, he organized unrestricted mecha battles involving dangerous armed confrontations.
However, the old man clearly had infinite love and tolerance for little bean, and Jack and Mr. Tang were also reluctant to reveal the truth. After all, little bean's story was, to some extent, true, just overly beautified and simplified. After the old man finished telling his grandson's story, the room was filled with a long silence. The three of them exchanged subtle glances, as if they all knew that there were many things that couldn't be said.
The old man handed Jack and Mr. Tang some blankets and told them they could rest in the room before the little bean. Although the space was small, they could at least make it through the night. They nodded obediently, filled with gratitude and questions, and entered the room.
After entering the room, Mr. Tang suddenly made a surprising suggestion to Jack: to kill the old man. Jack's surprise was evident when Mr. Tang made the suggestion, and he looked at Mr. Tang with incomprehensible questions. "Mr. Tang, why would you suddenly think of such a thing?" Jack asked, his tone tinged with confusion.
Mr. Tang's tone was calm, yet it contained a resolute insistence. "Jack, I understand that you trust this old man, but in this world, safety and trust are not always the same thing. Sometimes, in order to protect ourselves and our goals, we need to make difficult choices."
Jack responded in a low voice, "I understand this principle, but I cannot easily end someone's life, especially this old man we just met. He has been friendly to us, and we should also give him our trust."
However, Mr. Tang's preaching did not stop there. He began to enumerate one by one the ways in which the elderly might harm them, each way making Jack's mood even heavier. "He might secretly report our whereabouts, disclose our information to the arena organization, or even personally plan an attack. This world is full of danger and conspiracy, and we cannot easily trust anyone."
He took a deep breath and continued, "And we must consider whether this elderly man truly understands his grandson as he claims. little bean holds a special position in the Duel Kingdom, and his actions are highly controversial. The fighting in the arena, the life-and-death struggles between mechas - does he really know nothing about his grandson's actions? This situation itself is quite suspicious."
Mr. Tang's words were full of questions, as if reminding Jack not to let emotions cloud his judgment. His gaze was fixed on Jack's face, as if hoping to deeply imprint this warning in his heart.
Jack pondered for a moment, experiencing various conflicts and struggles in his heart. Mr. Tang's perspective echoed in his mind as he continued to contemplate this difficult decision, thinking about little bean's actions, the old man's kindness, and Mr. Tang's warning. In the end, Jack made a firm decision.
His voice was low and firm, and as his words were spoken, a solemn atmosphere filled the room, as if time had momentarily stood still. "I cannot kill an innocent person. Even if the situation may be more complex, I cannot bear to end his life with my own hands."
Mr. Tang glanced with a hint of gloom in his eyes, deeply looked at Jack, and then nodded gently, indicating his understanding. "Alright," Mr. Tang said softly, "I respect your choice. Rest early, for tomorrow is a new day, and we will continue to face more challenges."
Jack nodded, thanked Mr. Tang with a glance, then turned to the bed, ready to rest well and prepare for tomorrow. However, the whole room was filled with a suppressed atmosphere, and both of them were filled with complex emotions and thoughts.
