The professor was momentarily stunned by the words and turned his head to look at Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng gave him a slight nod, his expression calm and composed.
Having received the acknowledgment, the professor turned back, his tone slightly softer:
"Of course. Our Illuminati is not a gang like the Bloodthorn Mercenary Corps that treats people as merchandise. Your legs are your own; if you wish to leave, you can walk away at any time, and we will not stop you."
At this point, his tone shifted:
"However, since you can't think of a suitable place to go right now, there is a path before you; it's up to you how you choose."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun and Xu Kuan raised their heads to look at him, a glimmer of hope flashing in their eyes.
"The Illuminati was established not long ago, and we are in need of like-minded people."
The professor looked intently at the three, continuing:
"If you are willing, you can choose to stay, join the organization, and become one of us."
