Chapter 705: I have a clear conscience about this country! (Part One)
Xu Cheng drove to the border checkpoint, where there was one of the biggest breakfast restaurants.
He entered the restaurant and saw a white bearded old man of Asian descent sitting in the corner drinking coffee. Xu Cheng had never seen Little Joker before, but there was only one person who was seventy or eighty years old and Asian. So, he sat down at the table behind the old man, the two almost sitting back to back to each other.
After finishing a piece of bread, Xu Cheng said as he chewed, “I find it hard to believe that you allowed yourself to age these years, how many years has it been since you left the Dragon Division?”
Little Joker also lowered his head and ate the roast at as he said, as if to himself, “Fifteen years and two hundred thirty-one days.”
Xu Cheng said sarcastically, “You rember it quite clearly, huh?”
Little Joker: “Of course, being away from ho, you’ll never know how much an undercover agent has to endure every day.”
Xu Cheng: “That’s why I said, why persist? Maybe soone simply cannot survive this way, so I suspect that you’ve already changed inside.”
Little Joker sneered. “Your misunderstanding about cos from the entanglent between your master and I, so I can understand. I swear to god that I may not be a good person, but I have a clear conscience for my country and for the Dragon Division.”
Xu Cheng: “If you have anything else to say, say it quickly. My woman is still in their hands.”
“You know clearly that they are after you, and your woman will only beco a burden to you. I don’t want you to go,” Little Joker said.
“That’s bullsh*t.” Xu Cheng snorted. “I know that sooner or later my woman will beco a burden to , so I tried my best not to expose her or our relationship. But for a woman who was willing to wander the world with you, all she wanted was as a na. I knew she was kidnapped because of , that’s why I have to save her even more.”
Little Joker: “You can’t save her, you’re no match for those people.”
Xu Cheng: “You’ve fought with before, haven’t you paid the price for your underestimation?”
Little Joker laughed. “Did you really think I’ve underestimated you? You think I wouldn’t know where the Dragon Division basecamp is? Why didn’t I just go in that night, instead ordering the 7 demons to do it? Why did I only fight you? If I were to kill you, would I tell you so much about the mysteries of the Shadow Fist?”
Xu Cheng was surprised. “What do you an?”
“Senior Brother called before he was about to die and told to co, instruct you, and test your strength, so that you would be able to convince the fellow Dragon Division mbers to be a team. Secondly, I could relax and continue to investigate the case here. In fact, I have always been worried about our country, and I’m full of guilt for your master. However, from the standpoint of the country, it was what I had to do. He was indulged in the warmth created by that woman and ignored the slowly arising Four Clans. I couldn’t take it anymore and tried to talk with him several tis, but it didn’t work. So I had no choice but to do what I had to do, except that I didn’t actually harass that woman, I just let it happen at a specific ti when 师兄 could see us. He started to give her the cold shoulder after that, but I didn’t think she would commit suicide. I guess in the end it was fine because then 师兄 could focus only on the Dragon Division, and I could use this opportunity to leave the country and enter the M Nation. If I did not have the absolute power to prove myself capable of teaching the M Nation special forces, I wouldn’t have entered the fifth division and investigated deeper all the way to the higher executives.”

Having said that, Little Joker felt that he had gone too far and then continued again, “You are in the sa state as your master right now, you are the future of the Dragon Division, so I won’t let you risk your life for a woman, even if this woman will die.”
Xu Cheng said coldly, “You want to make the sa mistake again? You have no idea how lonely Master was when he died. He kept telling a lot of things, as if he never had a chance to talk about them.”
Little Joker smiled bitterly. “Well, at least he had his disciples around him. What about ? Every ti I looked in the direction of my country from the coastline, I couldn’t make a phone call because I was under surveillance for almost 16 years, and you said that a normal person couldn’t have survived that. I am a normal person as well!”
Xu Cheng: “A poor man must have sothing to hate.”
“I know.” Little Joker smiled bitterly. “I don’t ask anyone to understand , a lone hero is always lonely.”
Xu Cheng: “But I don’t want to be a lone hero. Ever since I was expelled from the military, I felt that it was ti to repay what I owe to my woman. All these years she followed in fear, and I just want to give her more security, so maybe it was best to leave the Dragon Division without being targeted.”
“Who said you were expelled.” Little Joker said, “Did a court ever rule that you were expelled from your Dragon King position?”
Xu Cheng was slightly startled.
Little Joker: “You have only been stripped of your military unit and special forces position, but the Dragon Division has told you from the beginning that they don’t belong to any departnt, so even if you are dismissed from all positions, it doesn’t include the position of Dragon King.”
Xu Cheng stopped chewing, and his eyes were dumbfounded for a mont; then he continued to chew his bread and said with a bit of anger, “Even if I am still the Dragon King, it is the sa as it was in the beginning. I’m still going to save her.”
Little Joker: “Don’t you want to know what I’ve been investigating undercover for the last 16 years? Maybe the people who kidnapped your woman have sothing to do with it. I can’t say I know them well, but I have so information about them in my hands, and that’s why I’m stopping you from going there. I will not agree to you going even if your woman dies, because in my eyes, you’re the only one who can dismantle that organization! However, if you go now, you will die without any remains to be buried.”
Xu Cheng nibbled on the bread and his eyes were sowhat red as he said, “I have disappointed two won in this life, one is my wife, the other is my mother, and the latter has already died because of . My biggest regret in this life is that I could not take good care of her. So for the remaining one, I will be unconditionally good to her for the rest of my life.”
Little Joker: “I have an intelligence report in my hand, and I need soone to take it back to Huaxia. No mber of the Dragon Division can take it back, because if they were exposed, they will be assassinated halfway, and only you have that ability to take it back alive. Ever since the last ti I took the Demons to Huaxia and got three of them killed, my actions have been too obvious, and I feel like I’m being watched.”
Xu Cheng: “I don’t have ti, sorry.”
Having said that, Xu Cheng wiped his mouth and prepared to get up and leave.
However, Little Joker said, “Don’t you want to know why the Westerners know internal martial arts? You said you will face the Capital Society sooner or later and this information I have is about them. Perhaps this information will help you understand this organization better.”
Xu Cheng stood up hesitantly and slowly sat back down.
