This time, most people were somewhat embarrassed, and only a few answered.
Austin Shepherd's face fell, his voice filled with a hint of anger, he shouted again, "I'll ask again, did everyone hear clearly?"
"We heard you clearly!"
Left with no choice, everyone had to respond.
"Good," Austin Shepherd slightly nodded, "Anyone who wants to back down can choose to leave."
No one uttered a sound.
Suddenly, the entire world seemed to fall into silence, with only the sound of the wind in everyone's ears, along with an unusual tension.
In the rising morning sun, the world was vast and boundless, with infinite beauty to be seen.
Time slowly passed, the torment making each day feel like a year.
Five minutes.
Austin Shepherd waited for five minutes.
After looking at his watch, Austin Shepherd's voice slightly deepened, word by word, "No one has left."
