Betrayal.

This was an unpleasant word that probably no one in the entire history of the universe ever liked. 

However, the word betrayal existed precisely because living beings were backstabbers; especially those beings with the ability to think and reason like human beings.

Had Bai Zemin ever thought that he might be betrayed? Of course, he considered it many times and he was also sure that at some point, whether he liked it or not, it was highly probable that at least one person he trusted would definitely betray him.

Of course, such a thing might never happen and be nothing more than a bad thought on his part. However, Bai Zemin believed that sometimes it was better to expect bad news rather than good news since that way he could withstand the blow a little better thanks to the fact that in a way he already expected something bad to happen, as opposed to what would happen if the blow caught him completely off guard.
