"Wu Ge, I beg you, let me go! Don't turn me over to the police."
Zhou Yang pleaded loudly, his face filled with terror as he kowtowed continuously: "I have elders and children to support, my whole family depends on me. Wu Ge, considering I helped you get rid of that traitor Fan Yi, please spare my life."
Wu Jindao ignored his words. Although Fan Yi was the main culprit, Zhou Yang, as his confidant, was also an accomplice!
Wu Jindao always believed in one thing: being merciful to enemies is cruel to oneself! Since they were both traitors, he naturally couldn't let them go.
"Zhou Yang, the moment you sided with Fan Yi, your fate was sealed!"
Luo Ming looked at him coldly, waved his hand to those behind him, and said, "Take him away."
At this time, Wu Jindao turned to Fan Yi's subordinates and said calmly, "Fan Yi and Zhou Yang have met their end, do you still want to resist?"
"Spare us, Wu Ge!"
"Yes, Wu Ge, this is all Fan Yi's fault. We were just following orders! Please spare us."
"We were bewitched by Fan Yi and boarded his pirate ship! Considering that we haven't committed major crimes, please have mercy, Wu Ge, and give us a chance to atone. We are all willing to be loyal to you..."
"Please have mercy, Wu Ge!"
The rest all pleaded collectively, not daring to harbor any thoughts of resistance at this moment.
With Fan Yi dead and Zhou Yang captured, they were leaderless. To resist would be akin to seeking death.
"Wu Ge, how should we handle these people? Are we letting them all go?"
Luo Ming walked over and asked Wu Jindao softly.
Wu Jindao frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said calmly, "Lock them up for now. Once we find out who was involved, we'll deal with them accordingly!"
Having tolerated for so long, it's about time the Golden Saber Society cleaned the parasites out.
After hearing Wu Jindao's orders, Luo Ming immediately went to carry them out, calling his men to take the group away. Then, he called the four Kings to follow him out, to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring en route.
Once Luo Ming and the others left, the banquet hall became much emptier, the atmosphere quieted down, and the tense state lessened. But many still dared not speak, filled with tension within.
After all, they had just experienced such an ordeal. At this moment, everyone was intimidated by Wu Jindao's resolute methods, afraid of becoming the next target, all worried and fearful.
Wu Jindao returned to his seat, looked around the room, satisfied with everyone's behavior, and spoke loudly, "You've all seen it, there was a traitor in our Golden Saber Society! I won't say more about it! But I must emphasize, no matter the situation, don't take risks for personal gain..."
"If you attempt to force something beyond your capability, it will only harm yourself and others! That's playing with fire, and I don't want anyone to hold on to luck, or else, Fan Yi's fate today will be yours tomorrow!"
In the end, Wu Jindao's voice carried a chilling authority that echoed throughout the hall, sending a shiver through everyone.
"Wu Ge, you must be joking, how dare we do such a thing? We have no reason! Wu Ge treats everyone like family, we wouldn't betray him like that traitor Fan Yi."
"Exactly, please rest assured, Wu Ge. We would never do anything to harm the Golden Saber Society; it would be a foolish decision leading to our own deaths."
"Wu Ge, you are our boss, our big brother forever, and we all stand united with you!"
"Right, such selfish acts are only something a villain like Fan Yi would do. We would never do it; we would never wrong you..."
Everyone spoke up, rushing to express their loyalty, fearful of being misconstrued by Wu Jindao if they were a bit late.
Seeing this, Wu Jindao showed a satisfied expression, gently gesturing with his hand to calm them, and nodded, "Since you recognize me as your big brother, I certainly won't mistreat you. Everyone knows how I am! In the future, whenever there is food and drink, none of you will be shorted."
Clap, clap, clap!
Hearing this, everyone applauded, filling the banquet hall with a thunderous applause.
"Well said, Wu Ge!"
"With Wu Ge, we feast and drink together!"
"We all support Wu Ge!"
The applause was mixed with praise, everyone trying hard to show their allegiance, eager to prove their loyalty to Wu Jindao.
Facing everyone's flattery, Wu Jindao only nodded and smiled without saying much more. He had said what needed to be said; too much more would seem pretentious.
After everyone finished praising, he once again proposed appointing Ye Xuan as the special honorary president, and this time there was no opposition, everyone expressed their agreement.
Not to mention the deterrence formed by Wu Jindao, the fact that Ye Xuan alone could easily handle the two Feng Family Elders showcased his importance to the Golden Saber Society.
No one who reached this position was a fool! Even if Wu Jindao hadn't suggested it, they would have nominated Ye Xuan themselves to be the special honorary president, having such a powerful force would solidify the Golden Saber Society's status even more.
Thus, with no surprise, Ye Xuan garnered full support and easily took the position of special honorary president.
And with that, this high-level meeting of the Golden Saber Society came to an official end.
Coming in, Fan Yi was full of ambition, but by the end, he had become a cold corpse, leaving many with mixed feelings.
However, while the meeting was over, the banquet was not, but Ye Xuan had no interest in staying longer.
Having achieved his goal, he naturally didn't want to linger, so after saying goodbye to Wu Jindao, he left the banquet hall surrounded by Liu Ying and the other two women.
Many were disappointed as they had hoped to seize this opportunity to curry favor with him, but he didn't give them the chance.
With Ye Xuan, the protagonist, leaving, many lost interest as well and didn't feel inclined to stay. Moreover, with the death occurring in the banquet hall, appetites were lost, leading many to excuse themselves with reasons, ignoring the special 'menu.'
Upon returning to Bishui Manor, under Xiao Wu's invitation, Ye Xuan and the others stayed with the Wu Family for some food. By the time dinner was over, it was half-past ten at night.
After filling his belly, Ye Xuan rubbed his protruding stomach, his thoughts starting to drift as he glanced between the two women nearby.
He pondered which delightful meal to indulge in when he returned later. Would he subdue Liu Ying, the thousand-year-old vixen first, or bring Murong Wanwan, the little enchantress, into his harem?
Ah, such a headache-inducing decision...
