Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5354 (five thousand three hundred and fifty-four)

"What did you do after hearing this?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I was shaking with fear," the man said, "because... the person next to him had a big knife in his hand, and I was really afraid that he would pick up the knife and chop me in the face."

"Did you say anything to him?" asked the Gray Hand.

"I said it." The man said, "I asked him not to do it."

The Gray Hand asked, "How did he react?"

"He said... after he knew how thick-skinned I was, but... but I always called myself a Tiecang person and insulted Tiecang people, which made him angry. He... would chop me whenever he wanted, and no one could stop him." The man said, "He also said that I would definitely die at his hands anyway, so whether I died immediately or... was chopped in the face by him first and then died, it wouldn't make much difference."

The Gray Hand asked again, "What did you say?"

"I said... I don't want to die, and I don't want to be hit in the face." The man said, "Please don't do it."

The Gray Hand asked, "What did he say?"

The man said, "He said...he asked me again if I was still pretending to be from Tiecang."

The Gray Hand asked, "Did you answer him?"

"Yes." The man said, "I said I... am not pretending."

The Gray Hand Man asked, "Do you admit that you are the Blue Armor Man?"

"I didn't admit it." The man said, "This is... absolutely not something I can admit. I know... if I... admit that I am a blue-armored man, I will definitely... die a more miserable death."

The Gray Hand Man asked, "But when you said you were not pretending, didn't that mean you were admitting that you were the Blue Armor Man?"

"On the surface, it sounds a bit like that." The man said, "But... I told him right away that I... don't need to pretend."

The Gray Hand asked, "How did he react after hearing this?"

"He asked me...what did this mean?" the man said. Gray Hand Man asked, "So I told him my name again, and then...I told him that my face and nails had changed...that's why I became like this. I was worried that he wouldn't believe me, so I told him...if he wanted to know more, I...I could tell him some secrets."

The Gray Hand asked, "What happened next?"

"Then he asked me...what secret." said the man.

"You won't tell the secret in front of others, right?" asked the man with gray hands.

The man said, "No. I told him... it was something from the past, something that... few people knew. I also told him... there were other people there, and if he told the secret, others would... hear it."

The Gray Hand asked again: "What was his reaction after hearing this?"

"He had someone drag me to...an empty house nearby, and I followed him there," the man said.

The Gray Hand asked, "And then?"

"He asked me some secret." said the man.

"What did you say?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I told him... the things that only a few people like me and he knew before." The man said, "After that, I told him that it was... this secret."

The Gray Hand asked, "How did he react after hearing this?"

"He thought about it for a while," the man said, "and then asked me... if it was his people who informed me."

The Gray Hand said, "What do you think?"

"I said... I am his man." The man said, "No one told me."

The Gray Hand asked, "What did he tell you again?"
