With these fellow victims speaking out, those who had been detained quickly accepted their situation.
"Master, everyone has been clarified," someone announced.
Zhao Guang nodded. "Good, wait for a moment. Once the matter inside is resolved, we'll take them all back with us."
"Okay, understood," the people around nodded. The newcomers, like quails, were now so mistrustful and timid that they dared not even speak up.
"Master, please take me as your disciple. I won't stand up unless you accept me," begged another.
The young man suddenly knelt in front of Zhao Guang, prostrating himself, overwhelmed with emotion.
In this day and age, using such tactics to coerce someone seemed ludicrous to Zhao Guang. He thought, even if you kneel to death, what does it have to do with me? But with so many troubles now, he couldn't allow this guy to disrupt the situation here.
"Stand up first, we can discuss that after the matter here is resolved."
