Ironclad Group Chat: Red and Black Lists Engraved with Heroic Epics

Huang Quan looked down from his vantage point, an unusual glint in his purple pupils.

She pointed her long sword at Sam, asking with pity, "Hunter, do you still dream? Dream of those..."

"The person who died because of you?"

"Huh?" Sam was slightly stunned, and the fist engulfed in flames went out for a moment.

Realizing her mistake, she quickly activated her core again, raising her power to its peak.

She realized that the other person was serious because they were asking that question!

Huang Quan lowered his head and closed his eyes, gripping the long sword with both hands, the red gem on the hilt shimmering with an eerie light.

She's about to draw her sword!

[Star: No way? You're serious? Yingbao, run! You really can't beat this!]

[March 7th: Anyway, Xing has already been kidnapped by the Black Swan, so there's no need to fight to the death with Huang Quan, right? Although going to Liumeng Reef won't kill you... it'll still hurt a lot!]

Silver Wolf: What are you doing? Have you gotten carried away? Or... can't you escape?

[Yao Guang: After all, the opponent is Lady Huang Quan. Well, or rather, it's fortunate that this Void Envoy is Lady Huang Quan.]

Huang Quan couldn't help but think of the fire demon who died by her blade.

Even on his deathbed, Grand Duke Hellfire remained true to his path, despite being far from being recognized by Nanook: "Draw that sword. We will indeed remain here, and we are destined to fight to the death, because I 'choose' to do so."

"Destruction is a magnificent moment. If one seeks survival through base means... then life is far too long."

"You will witness the most brilliant and violent fire in the world. May this burning illuminate your unfathomable dreams!"

To show him respect, Huang Quan said calmly, "I will be honest with you. The Hunting... is not the path I choose."

The scene darkens, leaving only the clanging sound of a long sword being drawn and Huang Quan's eulogy.

May death end your long dream and lead you back to the world of wakefulness.

[Star: Hiss...]

Xing held her breath and stared intently at the screen, but her mind was telling her not to watch and to change the channel.

She had heard Huang Quan say that before, and more than once... Every time he said it, it was on a huge scale!

Could it be that Liu Ying... really intends to become "sworn brothers" with Huang Quan?

Don't be so reckless! You should know when to back down, or rather, when to retreat tactically!

[Silver Wolf: I can't bear to watch anymore. It even has a flashback sequence building up, huh?]

[Dahlia: Ah~~ The power of that knife is still so bewildering, so captivating, leaving one caught between life and death.]

Amidst the intense public scrutiny, this pointless internal conflict left everyone both amused and exasperated.

I just hope the scene won't be too brutal...

In the scorching air, Huang Quan's hand, which was tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, suddenly loosened, and he muttered to himself, "...I will still dream about it."

"Stop now, your time hasn't come yet." With that, she was the first to disengage from her fighting stance.

"???" Sam was confused. But it was true that the opponent's fighting spirit had dissipated, so she also extinguished her flames and slowly straightened up.

"...[When it was me]?"

Huang Quan stood with one hand on his hip, his gaze seemingly able to pierce through her mask and into her heart: "I've seen many seemingly clever disguises that can cover the exterior but cannot hide the interior. You are no exception."

"Star, you didn't intend to kill her. You only attacked to separate me and that Memory Maker. Why?"

"..." Sam sighed, his voice thick with the smell of rust.

He was completely seen through. But is that lucky or unlucky? Probably the former.

But she did not answer.

Huang Quan frowned slightly: "Is it the [Slave of Fate] who made you do this?"

Upon witnessing this scene, the Star Core Hunters, including Blade, all blinked awkwardly.

[Silver Wolf: ...Actually, it was her own decision. At least that's how it seemed from her perspective. As for whether Eriol was secretly manipulating the tracks, that's hard to say.]

Sam: "You know Eriol."

Huang Quan frowned slightly: "I thought this would be written into your 'script'."

But judging from her reaction, it doesn't seem so?

Sam said calmly, "My scripts have always been only a few lines long. Anything else is unnecessary and unnecessary."

"Now, it's my turn to ask: Who exactly are you?"

Huang Quan turned around: "Why ask a question you already know the answer to?"

"...?" Sam felt a little like scratching his head.

Huang Quan pressed one hand to his heart, while the other gripped the hilt of his sword: "I often forget things, so I'm more used to capturing things through feelings than through memories. Therefore—"

"—I know who's inside that cold armor."

Sam's heart tightened: "..."

[Star: Yingbao is a bit silly, but cute.]

[Firefly: Hmm... Hmm.]

Huang Quan continued frankly, "Therefore, I can also feel it—you know who I am, you know this knife, and you know the meaning behind it."

"So, are you willing to take off your armor and talk?"

"It's not the right time yet," Sam refused bluntly. "You shouldn't know so much, you lost self-destructor."

Huang Quan gently shook his head: "I already said... my memory isn't very good, so you don't need to worry."

[Fireworks: You know too much!]

[March 7th: Something doesn't seem right about this scene. It's true that crime dramas often have this kind of plot, but are you sure you haven't got your positions mixed up?]

Looking at this scene on March 7th, he felt an indescribable sense of unease.

Logically speaking, shouldn't the kind of "Don't worry, I promise I'll keep it a secret, not even the King of Heaven will tell you" statement be said by the weaker party begging for mercy? And often, even begging for mercy is ineffective.

But today it actually came out of Huang Quan's mouth? She... she actually hesitated to act against someone who wasn't her envoy?

"Could it be that I have tinnitus and misheard what they said?" March 7th pounded his head, thinking to himself with great uncertainty.

[Black Tower: There's another possibility: if Firefly's identity is exposed at this juncture, it will directly cause Eriol's plan to fail. Huang Quan, considering the bigger picture, might indeed compromise.]

[Yao Guang: That makes sense. But...why? It's just the name "Star Core Hunter Liu Ying," it doesn't mean she's been harmed personally, how could it possibly influence the entire situation?]

Huang Quan asked, "What's next? Xing was taken away by the Black Swan. Are you going to go find her?"

Sam shook his head: "No need... It won't hurt to tell you. In Pinocchio, Elio gave me only one instruction—[Let the Star Train chase [the Grand Legacy]]."

Now that things have come to this, it seems that being open and honest about the current emptiness would be more beneficial to Xing's situation.

"The Star Train is not your enemy. If your goal is the [Watchmaker's Legacy], then investigate the family. They not only concealed the existence of [Death], but also buried the past and truth of the dream."

"I've already done that." Huang Quan stepped forward and turned around.

Now, theoretically, the two are on the same side. But there's really not much to say.

Before we part, let me offer you a piece of advice—
