Chapter: 5130

But isn't the Special Envoy also a member of the Clear and Bright Association himself?

So he should say "we", rather than "they"!

Just as everyone was trying to make sense of this, Lei Chen asked again: "Who is the commanding officer among you who can stand up and speak?"

A middle-aged man in the center of the front row slowly stood up, loudly declaring: "I am Number 39, responsible for this place."

Lei Chen snickered and asked him: "Are they forcing you to kneel here to receive the Special Envoy and the Emperor's gift of medicine, or did you voluntarily choose to kneel?"

Number 39 looked around nervously and said: "Special Envoy, we are kneeling here to welcome you and receive the Emperor's gift of medicine. This is a tradition that has been passed down for a long time."

Lei Chen smiled and said: "Playing it safe, aren't you?"

Number 39 quickly bowed his head: "I dare not! I am representing those behind me - three or four thousand men and women - so naturally I cannot speak out of turn."

Lei Chen nodded in approval. Number 39 seemed to be a clever one, unsure of his own identity but not saying too much and not showing excessive enthusiasm for the Clear and Bright Association. Instead, he defined Lei Chen's question as "tradition", which was actually a clever way to retreat while still maintaining some room for maneuver.

Lei Chen didn't bother to make things difficult for him, and instead slowly took off his black robe, revealing his true face to everyone.

This move left all the loyalists and family members utterly speechless.

They had never seen the true face of any special envoy before, because according to the regulations of the Clear and Bright Association, loyalists could only meet with specific cavalry guards, and were not allowed to face off against anyone else in this organization.

In essence, it was mainly because of the special identity of the loyalists. Once they went out, they were all going to execute important missions, and they had to eliminate any possibility of them recognizing a member of the Clear and Bright Association during their mission.

So, every special envoy who came here would wear a black robe and cover his face with a black hat.

But this time, Lei Chen suddenly broke through this long-standing rule, which left all the loyalists unable to help but feel tense.

Seeing everyone's expression and mood in chaos, Lei Chen spoke calmly: "Tell you the truth, I am not some special envoy of the Clear and Bright Association. The real special envoy has already been controlled by me, and now, all the cavalry guards have sworn loyalty to me and fight together with me against the entire Clear and Bright Association. So, I came here to ask you, are you willing to join them and fight alongside me?"

As soon as Lei Chen finished speaking, the whole scene erupted into chaos!

No one could have thought that things would turn out so unpredictably!

And Number 39, still in shock, couldn't help but open his mouth: "Sir, if what you say is true, then we should all be dead by today. Even if you got the antidote from the real special envoy, it can only give us an extra week to live. If we want to join you and fight alongside you, I'm afraid it's beyond our strength."

Thirty-Nine's words left all the loyalists who were in shock, utterly defeated for a moment.

Everyone knows that Thirty-Nine said it right.

Once they don't understand the antidote, they'll soon be poisoned to death; even if they want to fight against the Clear and Bright Association with their dying breath, they're probably too weak to wait until the day of battle.

Lei Chen looked at Thirty-Nine and all the loyalists, curiously asking: "Are you willing to let the Clear and Bright Association control your lives for eternity, or are you willing to fight them to the death?"

Thirty-Nine spoke up without hesitation: "Of course we're willing to fight to the death, only we don't have such an opportunity? For hundreds of years, loyalists have been tightly controlled by the organization; not to mention that their living space is comparable to a heavenly prison, and the toxic substances in their bodies have determined them to be unable to resist; let alone resisting the Clear and Bright Association or even escaping from here..."

Lei Chen smiled and asked loudly: "If I can completely eliminate the toxins in your bodies, will you be willing to fight against them to the end?" JrNovels.com
