Upon hearing Liang's request, the four exchanged bewildered glances, uncertainty etched on their faces.
"What? Are you unwilling?" Liang's icy gaze swept over them.
"No, counselor, we wouldn't dare," the four hastily replied. Their lives were now in Liang's hands, and they wouldn't even think of questioning him.
Liang's expression softened slightly. "You have only fifty years, no more."
Their eyes widened, disbelief flooding their minds. Fifty years? Wasn't that too short for the immense tasks ahead?
Nonetheless, they didn't dare to object.
"That's the spirit," Liang nodded with a satisfied smirk and turned around.
The four bowed respectfully.
"Remember, I'm not a merciful person. Don't screw up."
Their faces paled as they watched Liang's figure vanish.
As soon as his figure disappeared, Kael exhaled a long breath of relief. "Finally. He's gone."
