The reason why Duanmu Nantian ended up in this sorry state was that among the ten dead college students, one was his lover.
Duanmu Nantian was never a benevolent person who would help someone unconditionally. Everything he did was conditional, which was to sacrifice what needed to be sacrificed, and in return for his own benefits. He would never do foolish things for no reason, and he never missed an opportunity for profit; that was his nature.
"What you say makes some sense. I believe some of it is true. But each person has their own rights. Yes, I have killed, but I never kill easily, nor do I kill for profit. I kill more to help others. When you kill, it is genuinely for your own selfish gain, to let you enjoy that share of profit. The real purpose is just for yourself, so don't compare me with you, I would truly despise you."
