Zhuo An was terrified that if he couldn't meet Fang Mu's demands promptly, he'd displease Fang Mu or even be discarded by him.
Once Fang Mu abandoned him, the false prosperity he had created within the Emperor Beast Court would instantly collapse.
Not only would he suffer, but the entire Yin-Yang Lian Leopard Clan would also be targeted for retribution by other Beast Controlling Forces.
The last thing Zhuo An wanted was to bring disaster upon his clan.
At the time, in his desperation to survive, Zhuo An had not thought much about it, but now, thinking it through, he realized that Fang Mu not only held his life in his hands but could claim it at any time.
The fate of the entire Yin-Yang Lian Leopard Clan was similarly in Fang Mu's grasp.
This meant that Zhuo An couldn't even think about going down with Fang Mu in mutual destruction.
From Fang Mu's perspective, he hadn't thought about that aspect, but everything feared self-sabotage.
