"We surrender! Commander, please be merciful and let us go!"
Blood and death had long since scared these people out of their wits.
Moreover, Qin Yi had captured He Wenyao alive. Under such circumstances, even if they wanted to risk their lives, it would be meaningless. Aside from increasing the number of deaths, they could not see any other benefits.
"Stop!"
Jiang Lin had no intention of killing them all. Seeing that they had surrendered, he immediately ordered Li Qingzhu and the others to stop attacking.
The scene was tragic. Severed limbs littered the ground, and the stench of blood filled the entire tower. Of the original three thousand or so people, only eight or nine hundred remained.
On the other hand, although Li Qingzhu and the others were covered in blood, they were not injured in the slightest. The scene was terrifying.
Without a doubt, if Jiang Lin had not shouted for them to stop, the massacre would have continued. It would have continued until all several hundred people were dead.
"I won't kill you today," Jiang Lin said indifferently. "It's not because I don't dare to kill you, nor is it because you don't deserve to die. However, I feel that you were once my subordinates. Although you have betrayed me, you have still shed blood and sweat for my adventurer team. Hence, I'm giving you a chance to live! "
"Thank you, Commander! We know we were wrong! "
"Please, Commander, give us another chance!"
"That's right! We will turn over a new leaf and contribute even more to Overwhelming Glamorous! "
…
Now that these people had begun to show their loyalty, they were willing to correct their mistakes and return to Overwhelming Glamorous. Unfortunately, Jiang Lin would not give them another chance.
"Although I've let you go, it doesn't mean that I've forgiven you," Jiang Lin said gravely.
Jiang Lin said solemnly, "From now on, you are no longer members of the Overwhelming adventurer team. Leave immediately and never step foot in this place ever again! "
"Commander Jiang! We were wrong! Please spare us! "
"That's right! We were bewitched by He Wenyao and deceived by him. "
"Trust us! Give us another chance!"
…
"All of you, shut up!"
Jiang Lin shouted. "You're already this old. You should know that sometimes, there's no turning back on the choices you've made."
The entire place was silent. Everyone stared blankly at Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin continued, "You should all remember why you joined Overwhelming in the first place. I, Jiang Lin, am indeed not that strong, but you still came. Why? Isn't it because of my identity as an alchemist? All these years, I have never treated any of you unfairly, nor have I ever made any excessive requests of you. I dare to touch my conscience and say that towards all of you, I only have kindness! However, even at this time, you still don't care about the kindness of the past and stand firmly by He Wenyao, the traitor, in an attempt to oppose me. "
"I want to ask all of you. If I didn't have these powerful friends by my side today, and I was at an absolute disadvantage in the battle against all of you, what would you do?"
The hundreds of people above fell into silence. No one dared to raise their heads and say a word.
A cold smile appeared on Jiang Lin's face as he said, "What, you guys have nothing to say?"
Jiang Lin laughed coldly and said, "However, even if you don't say it, I will! Are you going to kill every last one of us? Would you spare us on account of our past kindness? No! You definitely wouldn't! Because you are traitors, and you don't want to see us ever again! "
Her words were indeed not wrong.
Sometimes, traitors were like this. They were far more frightening than their enemies.
After all, traitors would always feel a tinge of guilt in their hearts. In order to erase this guilt, they would do everything in their power to kill the person they had betrayed. This way, the guilt in their hearts would be erased.
In fact, this was what the group of people had been thinking. Since he had chosen to stand on the opposite side of Jiang Lin, there was no need for him to care about the past. As long as they could, they would definitely kill Jiang Lin. At the very least, they wanted to make sure that Jiang Lin would never be able to make a comeback.
Unfortunately, their plan had failed in the end. They had never expected that Jiang Lin would have such a group of powerful people by his side.
It was precisely because of this group of people that they had ultimately failed.
Now, they had become prisoners and seemed to be at a disadvantage. Even so, it didn't change the fact that they were traitors.
"So, what right do you have to ask me to forgive you? What right do you have to ask me to give you another chance?"
Jiang Lin said, "From the moment you wanted to kill me, you were destined to be different from me. Furthermore, I have done you a favor, but you have repaid my kindness with ingratitude. Do you think that with your actions, you still have the right to stay by my side? I won't kill you today, but we will no longer have anything to do with each other. Leave this place at once, or don't blame me for being impolite! "
When they heard this, the expressions of the remaining 800 people turned gloomy.
Actually, they felt that there was nothing wrong with what Jiang Lin had said. Everything Jiang Lin had said was the truth.
Some of the things he had said might have been a little overboard, but to be honest, there was nothing wrong with what he had said.
They were traitors, and they had indeed wanted to kill Jiang Lin. However, they hadn't expected that they would fail in the end, even though they had the upper hand.
They couldn't accept this.
To them, failure meant that they would lose everything.
They had been living a good life here for a long time. Now that they had lost this life, they were unwilling to accept it, and wanted to fight for it back.
Most importantly, the current Jiang Lin was obviously different from before.
With so many experts by her side, no one in White Tiger City would be a match for them.
In other words, if they wanted to, they could dominate White Tiger City at any time and develop further.
This also meant that the future of the Overwhelming Cities Adventurer Group would only get brighter, and their lives would only get better!
Such an opportunity was hard to come by for them.
However, the opportunity was right in front of them, but they were about to lose it. How could they accept it?
Therefore, they wanted to fight for a chance like this again!
Unfortunately, they had miscalculated one thing. Their leader, Jiang Lin, was no longer the same!
