Cougar said sharply, “Alright then. Philip, take your team back and get someone to send us some communicators and equipment. I don’t want to hear another word from you.” Philip left with his people. On the way back, Emily and Iris looked very angry. They said to Philip, “What’s wrong with the commander of Cougar Squad? Doesn’t he want to take revenge for his people?” Philip put his hands behind his head and did not answer. On the other hand, Leopard, who had not spoken a word before this, said, “Boss, have you experienced a similar situation before?” Philip looked at him and said, “Did you notice something?” Leopard scratched his head and said with a wry smile, “I can’t really say I noticed something. I was disgusted when I learned about such a dirty deal at first, but after I experienced more later, I now just simply wonder how much a human life is worth!” Hearing this, Philip just nodded slightly. Leopard had always been exposed to this environment, so he was no longer bothered about such transactions after some time. Philip was full of passion when he first started too, but after seeing too many of such things, he gradually became numb. However, Emily and Iris were very puzzled. Leopard explained to them, “Facing those forces that you can’t resist at all, there’s no way you can put up a fight, so the final outcome is usually to put forward various conditions.” In fact, this was the nature of this world. When someone was strong enough, they could decide the life and death of some people and even influence the world. However, when someone was not strong enough, they could only choose to compromise.
At most, they could add a small condition to their compromise. Therefore, one must always strive to improve. Only when one stood at a certain height could one understand the benefits of standing at the top of the food chain. If one had not reached that position, one could not look down on anything or anyone, simply because one had no right at all. *** The group of four quickly walked to the passage of the lower floor where the aircraft landed before. Some people from Cougar Squad were waiting there. From a distance, someone saw Philip and his party of four wearing Cougar Squad’s uniform. The passage opened and Philip, and his team re-entered the lower floor. Philip passed on Cougar’s message before they headed to Iris’ bar. Philip had played his part in acting with Cougar, so he chose to take a break. There was no need to go back to Cougar Squad anyway. It was not too late to go there again when Cougar and the others returned. Philip took a bottle of beer with ease and started drinking. Although he felt nothing unusual about going to battle this time, it was the first time for Leopard, Iris, and Emily. This battle left a lasting impression on them. This was a very important lesson for their future growth. While they were chatting, someone knocked on the door. Iris walked to the door and said as she opened the door, “The bar is closed. You…” However, Iris stopped before she finished speaking. Then, she walked back inside with an ugly scowl. She held a walking cane in her hand, which belonged to none other than Emily’s grandfather!
