Chapter 910: From All Fronts – The Perfect Retaliation! IV (1/2)

“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.
