The room erupted in a mix of approval and relief. Han Jin's decision was final. He would no longer protect Xiang Yu. The dragon head had spoken and his fate was sealed.

Xiang Yu had no idea that Han Jin was about to hand him over to the Die clan. He stood outside Little Bai's room, feeling a deep sense of guilt for dragging the young man into this dangerous mess. The poor kid had been so frightened that he passed out from fear. Han Zhan had informed Xiang Yu that Little Bai was awake now and that he was going to get some food for him. Xiang Yu decided it was time to speak to him.
He knocked softly on the door, and a gentle voice responded, "Come in." Xiang Yu entered to find Little Bai curled up like a ball under the quilt, his head barely poking out. Despite not being a child, Little Bai's youthful appearance and small stature made him look like one, especially compared to the towering figures of Xiang Yu, Han Zhan, and Han Xin. It was hard not to see him as such.
