Gao Jianjun, who had already collapsed on the ground waiting for death, immediately perked up as if reinvigorated when he heard the Nine-tailed Fox agree to release him and managed to sit up. However, when he tried to stand, he found he simply couldn't.
"Old Gao."
Jiang Xiaobai rose and walked over to Gao Jianjun, patting him on the shoulder a few times.
"After you go back, take good care of your wife and kids, they've had a hard time."
Gao Jianjun felt a surge of energy fill his body and, to his surprise, he managed to stand up. Without saying a word of thanks, he took off running.
"See what your kindness gets you? He's only thinking about saving his own skin, not a single word of gratitude for you," the Nine-tailed Fox said with a cold smile, observing Gao Jianjun's vanishing figure.
