Chapter 294: You really aren't even considering it?

Bing Li led people back to headquarters, and shortly after, everyone in the Dawn Society received a message.

Second-level Force Warrior Jiang Cheng, codename Cang Hai, defected from the Dawn Society out of fear of punishment after a mission failure; from now on, a Special Mission is issued: everyone to hunt Jiang Cheng, a live capture earns a reward of one million yuan, a kill earns a reward of five hundred thousand yuan, permanently effective.

The post also attached Jiang Cheng's photo, his former address, and so on.

After reading the content, the members of the Dawn Society showed varied expressions.

Actually, desertion is rare but not unheard of; many people have also

But this time, the deserter turned out to be only a Second-level Force Warrior, which is exceedingly rare.

Fortunately, after seeing the reason, they understood.

No wonder, it was because of a mission failure and fear of punishment? Many people sneered at the other's cowardice and stupidity.

Mission failure, thinking that escaping would let them get away safely? Do they really treat the Dawn Society like a bathroom, coming whenever they want and leaving whenever they want? Some people have also dealt with Jiang Cheng, or consulted him on gunmanship, and now feel somewhat conflicted.

Although they only had brief interactions, they felt he was still a very easy-going person, and when teaching things, he held nothing back.

How did he become a traitor? Truly, the world is unpredictable, fate plays tricks on people.

Just a sigh of lament.

A Second-level Force Warrior carries a bounty of five hundred thousand yuan for killing him, and a bounty of one million yuan for capturing him alive!

Even some Second-level Force Warriors, upon seeing this news, set aside their current affairs and head for the exit.

After all, if a person has no dreams, what's the difference from a salted fish?

Hong Cha, who was at home, also saw this mission, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

After watching it repeatedly several times, he confirmed it wasn't his eyes playing tricks; that's exactly how it was written.

"Just because of a single mission failure, he lost confidence and chose to defect; seems I really misjudged him." he muttered.

He still remembers when he first met Jiang Cheng in the Poor District, the latter gave him a rather big surprise.

At that time, he thought that given time, the latter would surely grow and become a pillar talent of the Dawn Society.

Who would have thought, he turned out so cowardly.

"Painting a tiger's skin is easy, painting its bones is hard; knowing a person's face but not their heart."

He shook his head, and let out another sigh.

Because such matters are hard to control, he doesn't need to be uneasy or beg forgiveness from Bing Li or anything.

When his gaze fell on the bounty amount behind, his pupils contracted slightly.

This figure, even he felt very tempted.

But thinking further, he knows others seeing this mission will also be tempted; competitors include not only mid-level, but even Senior Original Force Warriors inside.

He, a Fifth-level Force Warrior, at this point actually feels a bit lacking.

"How about we look for Ye Ying again."

The thought sprang up in his mind.

First, the other has already advanced to Sixth-level, with a Sixth-level Spirit Mind Master assisting, making the chance of completing this Special Mission much greater.

Second, the two are old partners, having undertaken many missions together; if he initiates, the other won't refuse.

Third, and most importantly, the other is short on money, which makes him love money even more.

The next moment, he dialed the latter's phone.

"What's up?"

Quickly, the call was answered, and Ye Ying's voice sounded very indifferent.

Hong Cha didn't take it seriously, and said cheerfully: "Ye Ying, did you see the Special Mission that was just posted inside the Society?"

"Special Mission?"

Ye Ying was momentarily stunned.

"Hehe, looks like you haven't had time to see it yet, never mind, I'll tell you about it."

After hearing, Ye Ying fell silent.

"Didn't expect, huh?"

Hong Cha sighed, "I didn't expect him to do this either; now everyone in the Society is tracking his whereabouts, how about the two of us form a team to look for him? If we capture him alive, there's a bounty of one million, we split fifty-fifty, right? I recall you spent all your savings buying an A-level Psychic Weapon, so you probably have no money left now, right?"

"No need."

Ye Ying replied, "I've been busy lately."

This sudden refusal left Hong Cha a bit taken aback.

"Ye Ying, are you busy cultivating, or still adapting that Psychic Weapon? But this mission won't take you long; after you finish, you can come back to your own affairs. The bounty is 500,000, enough to buy plenty of Cultivation Resources."

"No need."

Ye Ying still refused.

"Anything else?"

"No, that's all, but I just asked, 'Are you really not considering it?'"

Hong Cha asked repeatedly.

From his perspective, this was clearly a chance to pick up money.

Turns out Ye Ying wasn't interested?

Ye Ying hung up, and with her actions, gave the former her answer.

The next moment, she immediately logged into the system and saw the Special Mission posted inside.

Seeing the name, she widened her eyes, and looked at it repeatedly several times.

"How could this happen?"

She also could not believe it in her heart.

Because of mission failure, fearing punishment, he chose to defect? If she had no connection with Jiang Cheng, she would also believe what was written above, but after experiencing the first mission and later hunting in the wild, she knows the other could never be a coward.

"Why?"

She knit her willow brows and looked at the phone on the other side.

After hesitating a moment, she still dialed Jiang Cheng's number.

"Beep… beep…"

Hearing the ringing tone instead of the busy prompt, she let out a sigh of relief.

Obviously, the other party had not blocked her.

It rang only a few times before being hung up.

Ye Ying stared, not expecting the call to be hung up; just then, a text message came through.

"Are you asking why I quit the Dawn Society?"

Seeing the message, Ye Ying's eyes lit up.

She immediately realized why, despite Jiang Cheng having his phone right beside him, he didn't answer—probably because he didn't quite trust her.

But that's only human; if it were her, she'd probably do the same.

"Yes."

She replied with a message, thought for a moment, then sent another.

"Is it because of Bing Li?"

"More or less; fundamentally, our ideas just differ, so problems are inevitable—better to leave early."

Ye Ying stared.

She already understood Jiang Cheng's meaning.

She actually also knew what kind of organization the Dawn Society was; many people knew that, but she was even clearer about what punishment betrayal would bring—better to obey than lose her life.

People like Jiang Cheng have come before, but the endings for the vast majority have been grim.

But those people's abilities were far superior to Jiang Cheng's; even they…

After Ye Ying typed a string of characters, deleting them one by one, she finally sent a message.

"I understand. Take care, and be sure to stay alive."
