What does this show? It shows that even mercenaries who live on the edge of death cannot withstand cold violence!

The members of Dixia's group are just like Xiao Chu Nan online, they talk a lot of nonsense on the screen, but when they meet in person, they are all very proper and afraid of upsetting others.

He can spout dirty jokes online without batting an eye, but when you touch his hand offline, he gets all shudder and turns as red and warm as a boiled crab.

The members of Dixia's group were reading the prophecy book, and their faces were now as red as boiled crabs.

Dude, I'm just reading a book, can you please stop monitoring my life? Stop messing with my brother Chu Nan!

Even embarrassing moments from their "social gatherings" have been exposed! Doesn't that mean all our colleagues know now?! How are we supposed to face our female mercenaries after this?!

Prophet, you've gone too far! According to the rules of mercenaries, I challenge you to a duel!

However, considering the prophet's strength, these people calmed down. They were angry for a moment, but that was enough. Let's just watch the story.

In the story, the traveler and Desia go to the desert to investigate and capture a merchant who is connected to "Akhmal's Beard" to interrogate him.

Who knew that this merchant was quite principled, preferring to bite off his tongue and commit suicide rather than reveal any information.

Fortunately, the person was treated in time and is out of danger, but we definitely won't be able to get any clues out of them, so we'll have to investigate on our own.

They did find intelligence in the goods—trade records of supplies—and the merchant who helped them 'sell the stolen goods' was named 'Shazaman Huma'.

That's right, this person is Dina Zede's father, a big merchant in the rainforest.

Dina Zede shook her head, unable to believe that her father was helping bad people do evil.

No, that can't be! Dina Zede doesn't believe her father would do such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding!

When she first read this story, she wondered if there was any room for reconciliation between Dixia and her father, but now it's her turn.

Character Voice Lines - Navia: About Desia's Father

"I don't think it's childish. A father who is willing to coax his child can't be too bad."

Chapter 617 Shazaman's Recount of the Past

Dina Zede has a good relationship with her father, so she hopes that Dishia can also improve her relationship with her father and doesn't want to see Dishia and her father become enemies.

But she is also an understanding person and will not stop Dixia's choice; she will only try her best to help.

Unexpectedly, she is now the one who needs help. If her father really does evil, how will she face him?

How should I face this? Dina Zede's gaze gradually hardened. If her father had truly done evil, then she would do anything to persuade him and bring him to his senses!

In the story, Dixia tells Dinazedai the information she has discovered, and Dinazedai then shares her own conjecture.

Previously, Dina Zede had never wondered why her bodyguard was Dixia, but after learning this information, she had a guess.

Could it be that my father has had a connection with "Akhmar's Mustache" since the past?

Dina Zede said, "Whatever the reason behind it, if my father is really funding evil people, I should bring him to his senses as soon as possible."

Shazaman was naturally reading a book. He didn't usually read prophecy books, but he definitely wanted to read the stories about his daughter and his "god-daughter".

Seeing this now, I feel not only no dissatisfaction but also a sense of relief.

My daughter has grown up! Hahaha, everyone, look how upright my daughter is!

Shazaman felt proud that the whole of Tiwat could see his daughter's excellence.

He didn't care about the misunderstanding he had. It's normal for misunderstandings to arise due to information gaps, especially since he himself thought he was aiding and abetting evil.

So what if he goes to jail? That's not important. What makes him happier is his daughter's good behavior.

On the contrary, Dixia in the story is somewhat hesitant.

[Dishia tentatively asked, "Is this... really okay?"]

"My father committed so many atrocities and deserves to be punished. I have no sympathy for him whatsoever, and I don't care if you call me unfilial."

She said her father had committed many evil deeds and showed no sympathy; at this point, the reader, unaware of the truth, didn't think anything of it.

In the future, when these people start recommending this story to others, they will all frantically ask for the other person's thoughts during this part.

If the other party approves of Dixia, then those who have read it will fall silent and suppress their laughter, waiting until the other party sees the later part where they cry with regret before they burst into unrestrained laughter.

However, for now, Hu Tao can understand Dixia's thoughts on this point. This is indeed how a daughter feels when facing her father. If she does something wrong, she should naturally be criticized.

Dixia could treat her father this way because he was her father.

But she couldn't do that to Shazaman, because he was her benefactor, not a relative.

"The Humayi family not only gave me a job with excellent benefits, but they also took great care of me."

"And the outcome of this matter could very well implicate the entire Huma'i family. If that happens, wouldn't I be repaying kindness with enmity?"

Readers can understand Dixia's hesitation; in fact, this hesitation proves that her father holds a much closer place in her heart than anyone else.

Because of their close relationship, she wanted to stop her father from making mistakes, just like Dina Zedee thought.

Dina Zede said, "It's alright, Dixia, just say it was me who asked you to do it."

Just as she said, Dina Zede will become an ally of Dixia, immediately taking Dixia's side when Dixia hesitates.

[Dishia: "Don't be like that, Miss. It's not that I'm afraid to take responsibility; you're the one who's suffering more right now."]

What Dixia meant was that she wasn't afraid to take the blame or be accused of repaying kindness with ingratitude.

What she feared was that it would ultimately hurt Dina Zede, because he was her father.

It can only be said that these two are truly devoted to each other, always on each other's side in crucial moments. That's what best friends are all about.

Fortunately, Dina Zede is a very strong girl, so she is not afraid to face these things. She decided to ask her father out and ask him about the matter in person.

Shazaman smiled even more broadly, "Look, this is my daughter! She's so wonderful!"

She is courageous and responsible, not swayed by emotions, and always knows to check the accounts first when something happens. She is truly my daughter!

As expected, Dina Zedeh brought her father out in the story, and Shazaman no longer hid the matter of the transaction.

The reason he didn't tell Dixia about this wasn't for his own sake, but because he was afraid of hurting Dixia.

This truth could very well render all of Dixia's hard work to ashes and Kousera's efforts futile.

[Dishia asked in confusion, "His life's work? I don't quite understand, sir."]

"I fought my way here, and I haven't received a single bit of kindness from that guy."

In Dixia's view, she has never received any benefits from their group since leaving Kusela, and even her current group was found by herself, and her reputation was earned by herself.

Therefore, Dixia was resolute; she would not be swayed and she wanted to know the truth.

Sensing Dixia's determination, Shazaman decided to tell the story of the past.

In reality, Shazaman hesitated, worried that Dixia was not ready.

It has to be said that Shazaman has indeed come to regard Dixia as his own child, and at this moment he is more worried about Dixia's situation.

However, he need not worry about this, as Dixia is also a strong person.

She was reading the story intently, waiting for Shazaman to reveal the truth.

Shazaman told her that he had been to the desert shortly after Dina Zede was born.

There he was attacked by the Gilded Brigade, but luckily someone saved him; yes, that person was Kousela.

Kucera saved Shazaman simply because he also had a daughter, a daughter about the same age as Dina Zede.

At this point, Kousela seemed to understand a father's feelings and responsibilities, so he chose to save another father.

Many years later, Kousera knocked on the door of the Shazaman family.

By then, Kucera was no longer the robust man he once was; the once strong man had become like a lamp running out of oil, and this 'old man in his twilight years' had to walk with a cane.

But Kucera's smile remained cheerful; he had come to recommend a bodyguard to Dina Zede – Desia.

He is beyond saving; deeply entrenched in the "Legacy of the God-King," he has long been an utterly wicked man. But his daughter can still be saved; he hopes she can stay away from all of this.

Theoretically speaking, Dina Zede, who almost never leaves her home, doesn't need a bodyguard at all. The reason she hired Dixia is entirely because of Kusera's influence.

But when Dixia actually came to Huma'i's house, Shazaman treated her as his own daughter.

On one hand, it's because she's the daughter of their benefactor, and on the other hand, it's because Dixia is so outstanding.

Chapter 618 He's Long Dead

Some years later, Kusela suddenly contacted Shazaman, wanting some supplies and preferably explosives.

Shazaman didn't know what Kusela was going to do, but he couldn't refuse his benefactor's request.

In the end, Shazaman decided to provide the other party with some food and medicine supplies, but refused to provide dangerous items such as explosives.

Part of the truth from back then has been revealed, and now everyone knows that Kousela was not a completely useless and bad father.

He seems quite responsible towards Dixia, paving the way for her?

[Dishia's tone was slightly annoyed: "That guy, he's always like that... so self-righteous and arrogant..."]

Some readers feel that Dixia is going a bit too far by saying this now, especially since Shazaman just revealed what her father did for her.

However, readers who are parents or children themselves can very well understand Dixia's feelings.

She was blaming her father for not telling her these things.

What do you mean you don't want me to be involved in the mercenary world where I have no control over my own life? You want me to live like a normal person?

How arrogant! I am your daughter, how could I not have contact with her?

He silently paved the way for me and even sent money to Shazaman, who took care of me, thinking he could fool me.

How clever of you! I'm your daughter, how could I not investigate if something happened to you?

That darn dad, does he think I look cool like this...? In reality, Dixia clenched her fists.

"If you just want to distance yourself from me, then you shouldn't have brought me into this world in the first place."

This sentence sounds like a reproach, but anyone with eyes can see that Dixia is sad. She is using anger to cover up her sadness and does not want to expose the softness in her heart.

As someone who has never seen her mother since birth, Dixia harbors resentment towards her father, but she feels the same way about herself.

This is why Dixia has an unconscious habit of belittling herself; sometimes she wonders if things would be better if she hadn't come into this world.

But Paimon was always good at judging people, so he offered words of comfort:

"Don't be sad, Dixia, don't be sad..."

[Dishia's voice was filled with anger: "I'm just angry; I completely don't understand what he's doing."]

The anger here is real; she is indeed angry.

But her sadness was real; Paimon hadn't misjudged her.

Although Shazaman said that her father was very responsible, if you are so responsible, why did you give birth to me because of a momentary mistake?

Why did you become so responsible after being irresponsible at first...? What are you thinking, Dad...?

The traveler offered words of comfort: "Perhaps we can trust you one more time?"

Desia shook her head dejectedly, "I don't know, I really don't know... It probably can't be done, I can't do it."

Despite her repeated denials, Dixia couldn't deny her own heart; she desperately wanted to understand her father.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that she didn't understand her father at all.

Desia wanted to find out what her father was up to, so she continued her investigation.

The investigation into Dina Zede has concluded; her father was essentially aiding and abetting wrongdoing, having committed a serious crime.

But there doesn't seem to be a right answer to this matter, and Dina Zede's feelings are somewhat complicated.

Both women were somewhat flustered. One had her head down, looking at a book, but she wasn't reading any further; she was just maintaining that posture, deep in thought.

The other clenched his fist, only releasing it when turning the page, as he read the rest of the story.

The story continues, and Desia finds Zhevad, another participant in the deal, at the tavern.

This one is even more significant. As a member of the "Thirty-Man Group," an official organization, he dared to provide weapons to a mercenary group in the desert.
