Sun Jian's laughter gradually subsided, though a trace of amusement lingered in his eyes. He studied Jiang Chen for a moment, then gestured with a magnanimous wave of his hand.
"Since you have shown such faith in my character, it would be unseemly for me to let you walk away empty-handed. Speak, Junior Brother Jiang. What is it that you wish for?" Sun Jian said, his voice resonant and full of grace.
Jiang Chen did not hesitate, his eyes remaining as calm as a deep well. "Senior Brother is generous. This junior has a request regarding the aftermath of tonight. I ask that you use your influence to make it appear to the Meng family and the sect that this person, Meng Kai, was either uninvolved in the ambush... or that he was killed alongside the others."
Sun Jian's brows lifted slightly.
Jiang Chen added quickly. "I intend to keep him as a subordinate."
