The young man's pale face and frightened eyes were like a sharp blade that pierced through Brandon's indestructible exterior like a hot knife through butter, directly striking the softest part of his heart, bringing with it a dull pain that made him stop in his tracks.
Brandon didn't think that Ji Ling would be so afraid of him …
In fact, he just wanted to comfort him a little.
Brandon looked at the youth's fearful expression and didn't know whether to advance or retreat for a moment. After a while, he said in a low, hoarse voice, "Don't be afraid."
Ji Ling retreated until he had nowhere to go. He leaned his back against the cold wall and looked at the tall man in front of him, trembling with fear. He was already prepared to be beaten up … who knew that Brandon would suddenly stop and even tell him not to be afraid. He was stunned and couldn't help but reveal a suspicious look in his eyes.
He secretly glanced at Brandon's cold and fierce face and thought to himself, 'I've already made Ning Yu look so miserable, and I almost used the gene destructor, and you're not angry? Even if we don't talk about anything else, Ning Yu is at least your comrade who has gone through fire and water with you! You've almost beaten the accomplice Deng Dong to death, and you'll let a culprit like me go?
Of course I'm not! '
Ji Ling's legs turned to jelly at the thought of being beaten into a pile of meat paste by the enraged marshal and sent back to the respawn point. He tried to put on a brave front but was actually a coward at heart. He stammered, "You, if you touch me, my father won't let you off!"
Ji Ling glared at him with all his might, but his trembling body completely exposed his inner thoughts …
Brandon: "…"
He looked at the youth who was clearly terrified but pretended to be stubborn and arrogant. He didn't know whether to be angry or amused … his heart was filled with helplessness, heartache and pity.
If it was him in the past, he would only feel disdain and disgust when he saw this scene. He would think that he was just another evil and cowardly playboy, and that such a person deserved to die.
But now, he couldn't feel the slightest bit of disgust towards the youth.
The youth's fear at this moment wasn't fake. He was born on the luxurious and prosperous Imperial Planet, and had been cared for since he was young. He was essentially just a timid child … but he looked noble and timid, but he could still step through mountains of knives and seas of fire. When everyone had given up, he risked his life to appear in front of him.
To save a person who looked down on him and had hurt him.
What kind of kindness was this?
What kind of courage did he need?
Even though the young man looked no different from the other playboys on the surface, the courage and kindness that he displayed at the critical moment was not inferior to any soldier who protected his country. He had a heart that was more fearless and bright than anyone else … However, he did not receive the respect and respect that he deserved.
Everyone saw how good Ning Yu was, but no one saw him.
This was so unfair.
The pain was like a hand clutching Brandon's heart.
He looked at the young man's wary and fearful eyes. Although he wanted to step forward, he was afraid of scaring him. After a while, Brandon opened his mouth and revealed a rare stiff smile, trying to show that he wasn't angry. He slowly said, "I won't touch you."
Ji Ling looked at Brandon's cold, hard, and hideous smile and felt even more terrified!
He had never seen Brandon smile at him in his two lives. Brandon had always been a serious person and had always presented himself as a cold-blooded person. He rarely smiled at his friends and subordinates, let alone a playboy like him. Usually, it would be good enough if he could give a cold and disdainful look …
Moreover, Big Brother, you're smiling as if you're sending me to the execution ground …
Ji Ling swallowed his saliva and looked at him warily. "You, then what do you want to do …"
Seeing that not only did he fail to pacify the little guy, but the other party became even more afraid and wary, Brandon's eyes were bitter.
Most of the people he interacted with were his subordinates. The soldiers on the battlefield were all tough and could take a beating. It didn't matter how much he trained them. He never had to worry about their emotional feelings. His friends were all like-minded experts, so it was easy for him to get along with them. As for his enemies, he could just attack them directly and coldly.
To him, comforting someone was something he had never come into contact with before.
Especially comforting such a spoiled and frightened child. It was as if he could make him cry if he spoke a little louder …
This was more difficult for Brandon than any other dangerous battle he had ever fought.
Moreover, the other party obviously didn't trust him and was against him.
Like a frightened little animal.
Brandon smiled bitterly. He looked at Ji Ling and tried to speak in a gentle tone. "I know this wasn't your idea. Deng Dong was the one who came up with the gene disruptor, wasn't he?"
Ji Ling looked at Brandon in bewilderment. He almost thought that Brandon had God's perspective. How did he know that Deng Dong was the one who came up with the gene disruptor? And the point was, why was he trying to absolve himself! What was with this strange tone that seemed to be comforting him …
