At this point, he wouldn’t stop even if someone told him that the cake was poisoned
All the other children were stunned when they saw the way that the boy was devouring the food in front of hily said, “You all eat a little bit too It’s really very good”
The little girl reached out her finger and dipped it in a little bit of sauce, then licked her finger
Her eyes turned red as soon as she tasted it, as if she had been badly poisoned She reached out and irabbed all of the food in Iron Cliff’s hands
The frenzied actions of their friends didn’t entice the other children to fight for it Instead, they took a few steps back out of fear
They glanced at each other, then at their co down the food, and finally all of the as they left
“Alright, it seems like I need to prepare soht s to happen next
Indeed, it took place very quickly
A large group of Cliff Race individuals appeared once again
The one at the front was still Hadley
When he saw the young boy and girl devouring the cake that Iron Cliff had brought, Hadley immediately understood what had happened
“Cake…… Truly a delicacy” A reminiscent look flashed across Hadley’s eyes “When the children told uess as to what kind of poison it was…… Good food truly is effective, Iron Cliff”
Iron Cliff shook his head “I don’t have any crafty schemes in place, Leader Hadley”
“This isn’t a crafty sche them openly” Hadley walked over and opened his hand towards him “Any more?”
“Of course” Iron Cliff hurriedly pulled out some more cake and other delicacies
Hadley handed over the cake to the children behind hiuys will like this kind of food”
Since their leader was the one that was telling them to do so this time, the children obediently ate
Afterwards…… they fell into a frenzy as well
The adults ignored the children’s crazed appearance and stared silently at Iron Cliff
Iron Cliff shrugged “I have some more food with me as well I proiven you, and you all may have some too”
“Thank you, but there’s no need If it weren’t for the fact that Grew and Bair had already eaten some of your food, I wouldn’t have let the others kids have any either…… You know that this will only increase their longing for the outside world”
Iron Cliff nodded “You cannot stop them forever They will leave one day”
“But they will also return,” Hadley sighed “The outside world is very glaerous Even though living here is not easy, it at least ensures that they will be safe”
“That ht just be what you want”
Hadley eyed him intensely “Perhaps that’s the case, but so what? We are just a group of vanquished people who couldn’t make it in the outside world and merely want to live here peacefully If you want to stay, elcome you to do so But if you are here to ask us to throw our lives away for the sake of your et about it”
As he spoke, he turned around to leave
As he walked away, he said, “Don’t use these kinds of tactics to entice the children again Otherwise, I’ll drive you out”
“Leader Hadley, you cannot be too stubborn They have the right to pursue their own happiness!” Iron Cliff yelled
“At the very least, what I a will ensure that everyone survives, while your erous the Liht?” Hadley asked coldly
Iron Cliff was momentarily rendered speechless
He stared at the other Cliff Race individuals, then suddenly yelled out loudly, “Is that what you all think as well?”
All of the Cliff Race individuals stared at him in shock
Iron Cliff continued to yell loudly, “You all want to stay tied up in this place like a bunch of cowards, struggling at death’s door? Even if you have an opportunity to change your own fate, you’re all too scared to take this risk?”
None of the Cliff Race individuals answered him
They just stared at hier appeared in Hadley’s eyes He stared at Iron Cliff angrily and said, “This is your last warning Don’t say anything poisonous like that ever again Otherwise, I’ll kick you out right here and now!”
