The silent atmosphere in the room lasted for a few seconds.
Jiang Yun turned her head and looked at Xu Kuan beside her.
Their eyes met, and while they didn't speak a word, they saw the same resolution in each other's eyes.
It was the look of someone grabbing onto driftwood after falling into water.
Jiang Yun took a deep breath and broke the silence first.

She stood up, her face still pale, but her voice no longer trembling:
"If the Illuminati truly treats people like us as partners like you say... then I am willing to join."
Xu Kuan hurriedly followed suit, standing up straight away.
In his haste, he accidentally bumped into the bamboo chair beside him, causing it to let out a loud "scratch" sound.
Feeling a bit awkward, he rubbed his hands together and nodded repeatedly:
"I...I'm the same, as long as there's a place I can settle down, I'll do anything, I have strength, and I know a bit of technique..."
