The woman emerged from the pile of corpses with her child in her arms.

She carefully protected the child's forehead with her arms, placed him in a safer place, and wiped the child's face with her cleaner sleeves.

Then, she hugged her child tightly. The toddler didn't understand anything. He only knew that his mother's arm was squeezing him very painfully.

"My dear, please promise mom something, okay?" the woman said softly, "Close your eyes and wait until daddy says you can open them, then you can open them again, okay?"

The boy nodded vigorously. Although he was a little confused in his heart, the person with him was his mother and not his father. Why didn't his mother tell her to open it, but he wisely did not ask.

"You're so good. You have to remember that mother will always love you. You are mother's pride." The woman kissed her son's forehead.

This was the last thing she could do. She just hoped that the man in front of her could keep his promise and let the innocent child live.

She raised her head and said politely: "Thank you, I'm ready."

"Okay, please relax a little. I will move quickly and won't cause you any pain." The companion nodded.

He drilled the gun neatly, and the gunshot was loud and powerful, making the woman's body tremble.

Surprisingly, she didn't feel any pain. She tentatively opened her eyes and saw a horrifying scene.

The companion's gun did not hit her heart or brain, but shot through his own chest, and missed by just a few inches, preventing him from dying directly.

Lu En was also frightened. He quickly rushed to his companion's side and shouted in disbelief: "Are you crazy?!"

"I... don't." The companion said intermittently, "I am very clear and sober... I don't need to kill anyone anymore, and you can do your job... right?"

Luen's brain stagnated for a moment, and then he understood his companion's intention.

If they wanted to survive, they had to kill the mother and son, but even if they killed only the woman, only one of him and Luen could survive.

But when his companion shot himself, Luen didn't have to kill any innocent people.

The request he made to the woman was not so much a transaction as he wanted to see if the woman could give her life for the child.

If a woman's maternal love could impress Lu En's companions, he would be willing to sacrifice his own life to let the mother and son live.

"Time is up."

The hunter walked into the banquet hall unhurriedly, and the moment he saw the corpse on the ground, he already understood what happened.

This naturally met his requirements, so he didn't say anything more and just motioned for Luen to follow.

But Lu En couldn't help but ask, "Are all the people we killed really guilty?"

"It's not our turn to comment on this kind of thing. We just need to complete the tasks assigned by above, that's all." The hunter said calmly.

"But……"

"No but." The hunter stopped, "Or are you dissatisfied with the order?"

Rune lowered his head and whispered: "I just don't understand. If something goes wrong, who will be responsible for those innocent lives?"

"There are no mistakes, and there will never be mistakes. Listen to me, Luen, you are just confused." The hunter said patiently, "Everyone is multi-faceted, and some people care about their relatives very much, but It doesn’t mean they treat strangers the same way.”
