“You are all the pillars of Z Country’s shady organizations.”
He said plainly without beating around the bush and it made them all nervous.
“The country has left you alone not out of fear, but because it is inevitable for someone else to replace your roles once we remove you. We will not waste time on the parasites of society such as yourselves, but I hope you understand that the only thing keeping you safe is knowing your place. Unfortunately, many of you sitting here have disappointed me.”
“...”
The audience were all aghast, especially those who had eagerly sided with Eric before this.
“Since everyone is here, let me spell things out for you,” Huo Chen said plainly but with the unmistakable undertone of a threat. “I will forget about this incident, but if it happens again, you will suffer the same consequence as Eric. Know your role and understand your limits should you think you could challenge the power of the country! That will be all from me.”
When he was finished, he stood up and left the room without looking back.
“Safe travels.”
Jiang Yiyuan watched him go with an unreadable smile.
The rest of them took longer to recover from the scare.
They all looked at Jiang Yiyuan accusingly and asked, “Master Jiang, since when were you working closely with the military? Did you and Lieutenant General Huo plan this operation? Why didn’t you warn us or at least say something in advance?!”
They nearly ended up like Eric!
What a horrifying thought!
The military had destroyed Eric’s organization so easily.
If they had sided with the man, they would have gotten the same ending!
Jiang Yiyuan explained casually, “This time is only a warning. Didn’t you hear Huo Chen just now? Know your roles and stick to it.”
He paused before adding frankly, “We are no one but pawns of the military to maintain balance in society. If a pawn is obedient, everything will be fine, but if not...”
They would always look for better pawns.
Everyone understood what he meant and felt chilled by the idea.
After a long moment, one of them asked slowly, “Do you not resent the idea... of being controlled?”
“Don’t try to provoke us. If you don’t see how your life is more important than material gains, perhaps someone else will.”
The rest of the people in the room realized his meaning. Jiang Yiyuan smiled suddenly and looked amused.
“I have always wanted to serve since I was a boy, but...”
He heaved a long sigh and confessed, “The truth is, the main reason I did what I did is because Huo Chen is my idol!”
“...”
Everyone exchanged looks of disbelief.
His idol?!
To think that there was a traitor amongst them!
Jiang Yiyuan ignored their disapproving glances and left the place.
He had not lied when he said he wanted to become a soldier since young.
Unfortunately, the Jiang family seemed to be cursed. No matter how hard they tried, they could only produce one child in every generation, and the child was always a boy.
He had no choice but to take over as Jiang family’s head.
In fact, he was forced to accept the responsibility at a tender age of eighteen.
His useless parents on the other hand went travelling around the world most of the time.
While he felt regretful for not serving in the military, being able to assist them felt immensely rewarding.
Huo Chen’s operation was a success, but what about Huo Yunting’s end?
