The trio's eyes widened in shock.
Without thinking, all three men dropped to their knees in front of Dong Shin.
"Please, General!" Hao Chen begged, his voice trembling with fear.
"We didn't know! We swear, we didn't know! Please forgive us!"
Xie Liang and Fang Qian echoed his plea, their heads bowed low, sweat trickling down their faces.
They were terrified of what might come next.
Dong Shin stared down at them for a long moment, the tension in the room palpable.
His eyes flicked between each of them, as though deciding whether they were worth sparing or simply disposing of.
Finally, he let out a low chuckle, a sound that sent shivers down their spines.
He waved his hand dismissively, as though brushing off their pleas.
"Get up," he commanded, his voice firm but not angry.
"You saved yourselves today by bringing me this information. As much as you three are pathetic, your timing is impeccable."
