Chapter: 5110

And what they said was precisely their deepest fear!

A few people looked at each other in bewilderment, and then that young person suddenly realized something, knelt crawling to Ye Chen, choked with emotion: "Please forgive me for having eyes but no insight, failing to recognize the Special Envoy's identity early on, and please have mercy!"

Others saw this and immediately gained understanding, all kneeling down in front of Ye Cheng, imploring with utmost sincerity: "Have mercy!"

Ye Chen subtly hesitated, then quickly regained his composure, thinking to himself: "It seems that these people are treating me as the real Special Envoy."

The information within the Clearwater Association was strictly sealed off, and they were very fond of spreading rumors outside. It was just like what Duan Lide said - those companies controlled by the Clearwater Association usually had a non-executive chairman on the surface, while the actual person in charge might be someone low-key in the background.

It's as if this copper mine, when looked at from the outside, would seem that middle-aged man to be the one in charge, with the young person being his secretary. However, once you entered this office, the young person suddenly became their leader, and everyone looked up to him.

So, it seems that these people also mistakenly thought that my assistant was the real Special Envoy.

As they knelt before me, begging, Ye Chen smiled slightly, opening his mouth and asked: "If the emperor really decides to have all of you killed, would you dare not to dare resist until death?"

A few people heard this and shook in terror, their bodies uncontrollably trembling.

The young person who was most anxious spoke out: "Special Envoy, by the gods! This matter is a failure on my part, betraying the emperor's trust and expectations. Even if the emperor lets me go to die immediately, I will have no complaints whatsoever!"

Others also immediately chimed in: "I'll sacrifice myself for the emperor!"

Ye Chen snorted and said disdainfully, "So you want to kill all of you, and not only do you lack any resistance awareness, but you're even kneeling on the ground, showing loyalty with a slave-like attitude. Don't you have any blood in your veins at all?"

The crowd heard Ye Chen's questioning tone and were shocked out of their wits!

They thought Ye Chen was deliberately testing them, and at such a moment, they dare not show any rebellious behavior, one by one kneeling down.

And the young person who was leading the group looked choked up, saying: "Sir Special Envoy, this is a huge betrayal. I'm just...thinking I don't even dare to think about it..."

Ye Chen gazed at his terrified expression and could see that this person's heart was indeed filled with fear, having no intention of resisting whatsoever.

However, upon careful consideration of these people's identities, Ye Chen didn't find it surprising either.

After all, according to Shen Liye's words, aside from the death squads, cavalries, and their family members, most other members of the White Lotus Society joined voluntarily.

Especially those warriors who yearned to rapidly transcend their cultivation levels, they joined the White Lotus Society for that very purpose. So there was no deep-seated hatred between them and the White Lotus Society.

As for this young man in front of him, his cultivation level wasn't low, and he was also a magistrate, responsible for managing the entire death squad base, which wouldn't be considered low-level even if you said it out loud.

Perhaps he might even have been trained at the Tiger Guard.

However, aside from listening and obeying orders, these people even might have a sense of gratitude towards the White Lotus Society.

So, from their inner depths, they wouldn't want to oppose the White Lotus Society.

Thinking about this, Ye Chen lost interest in plotting against these people, looking at them calmly and saying, "The Earl's failure was indeed extremely shocking to His Majesty, but His Majesty also knows that this time's responsibility doesn't lie with you, so you don't need to worry too much."

When the others heard this, they let out a long sigh of relief. JrNovels.com
