"What!?"
Old Xu's words were undoubtedly a heavy bombshell, Demmi's eyes rapidly widened, disbelief evident in her gaze.
"Are you crazy? Are you planning... Derrick, do you also have the same idea as him?"
"No, Demmi, don't be anxious, listen to me."
"Derrick, now is not the time for me to listen to you. You need to think carefully yourself. I know you want to take me away from here. But you've seen what those bastards are capable of in the past six months. Let alone anything else, just us few, how could we possibly stand up to those bastards? They are superior in numbers, physical strength, and weaponry. If we confront them, we have no chance of winning. Have you considered the consequences of failure? Derrick, although our lives are a bit harsh now, at least we are temporarily safe. I don't want something to happen to you because you took risks for me!!"
Demmi's words were moving; clearly, the woman was concerned about Derrick's safety.
