At the moment Lan Zao was helped up by Ice Eagle, his mind was clouded.
He saw Ice Eagle fire his weapon and kill several people, and he thought he might face the same fate.
Instead, Ice Eagle treated him as one of his own.
Lan Zao had never expected such a situation to occur.
Yet, from Ice Eagle's perspective, everything made sense.
Ice Eagle didn't know that Lan Zao had slipped, nor was he aware of his dazed state. What Ice Eagle saw was Lan Zao selflessly helping him during the critical moment of teleportation.
"He must be one of the gang members," Ice Eagle instinctively thought.
As a former Gang Leader, Ice Eagle had been retired for a long time and was not familiar with the gang members.
In fact, even in a regular army, commandants are not aware of every soldier under their command, let alone in the complex composition of the Saber Gang.
Ice Eagle assumed that Lan Zao was one of the gang members he was unfamiliar with.
