Long disappeared and then reappeared, tossing Dean's emotions into turmoil.
Seeing Long lost in thought, Dean harbored no intention of a sneak attack.
They had clashed in his early years.
Hmm, the kind where, from a few kilometers away, he unleashed a barrage of artillery on his adversary.
At that time, he was still serving in the NW organization, leading a small combat team in an operation to encircle and kill Long.
Back then, Dean was already a Second Rank Life and a powerful Third Level staffer within the NW organization, brimming with youthful arrogance. He fancied himself as one of the rare masters in the world, filled with a haughty ambition that disdained all others.
The outcome was a swift reality check.
It was Long who merely glanced over from kilometers away, following their line of attack. At that moment, Dean's team fell into a state of madness, turning on each other...
The one who survived was naturally Dean.
