Several elders revealed happy expressions and nodded in agreement.
“We’ve long wanted to resist. Previously, you said that you wanted to bring us to give up our current home and change to an unfamiliar city. Actually, none of us are willing. After all, we’ve planted our foundation here.”
One of the elders acted as an example and spoke the truest thoughts in his heart. “We’ve been living here for so many years. We’re the number one mercenary group in Country H. Why should we give it to these trash?”
“I understand everyone’s thoughts, so 1 want to tell everyone today that I’ve already found the reinforcements outside. When the real battle begins, we just need to find the other party’s weakest place and cooperate from the inside out. At that time, we’ll let them know how powerful we are.”
Ye Ying’s every word was filled with power. “So you don’t have to worry about anything now. You just have to wait for help to arrive. The title of the number one mercenary group will definitely be ours.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the room was filled with a happy atmosphere. However, in such an environment, there was still someone who deliberately revealed a happy expression to hide the panic in his heart.
“Only the other party and I know this news, but I’m telling everyone now. In order to prevent the secret from leaking, 1’11 have to trouble everyone to stay with me for the next few days.”
As Ye Ying spoke, he carefully observed the subtle changes in everyone’s expressions. “As long as everyone can last until the end of the battle, I’ll give you your freedom.”
“What did you say?” Elder Qi could not believe what he had heard. He rubbed his ears hard to confirm. “Why is this? What right do you have to decide whether we stay or leave?”
“I can’t help it. Don’t you know there’s a saying? You have to bow your head when you’re under someone else’s roof. Everyone’s in a very similar situation now.”
Ye Ying’s attitude was very firm. “If everyone doesn’t believe what I say or has delusional thoughts, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. You can look outside the window. The only way out is blocked now.”
The elder, who refused to believe it, looked through the window and realized that the perimeter of the villa had been cordoned off with guns. When he tried to leave, the door was locked so tightly that even the windows were welded shut.
“Ye Ying, what exactly do you want? Without us, how could our regiment have its current status? Do you mean to put us under house arrest now?” Elder Qi glared at him. “I originally thought that you had changed your current thoughts and wouldn’t continue to be weak. I didn’t expect you to do it in such a way.”
“Don’t misunderstand. Of course I’m not doing this to put you under house arrest, but 1 want to ensure that the plan goes smoothly. As long as we can coordinate from the inside, it’s impossible for Duo Feng to resist.”
Ye Ying wasn’t impatient. Instead, he explained patiently, “I’ve already sent someone to inform the families of the elders, so you don’t have to worry. You just have to wait here in peace.”
“According to Young Master Ye’s preparations, it’s probably impossible for us to leave today.” Elder Qiao became the first to accept reality. “In that case, instead of arguing about when we can leave, why don’t we enjoy Young Master Ye’s care for us these few days?”
With that, Elder Qiao took his things and casually chose a room around the living room. When he reached the door, he turned his head and asked Ye Ying, “Young Master Ye, these rooms should be prepared for us, right?”
“That’s right. Elder Qiao’s adaptability is still stronger.” Ye Ying smiled and nodded. “Elders, you can treat this place as your home. If you need anything, you can tell the butler or Yu Feng. Don’t suffer.”
“No matter how much 1 treat it as my home, this isn’t really my home.”
Although his voice was very soft, it still came faintly from behind Ye Ying. Some of the remaining four elders muttered something indistinct, while others clearly had their emotions written on their faces.
However, they were no longer in the mood to dwell on those problems that could not be resolved. They followed Elder Qiao’s footsteps and chose a room to settle down in.
After everyone left, Yu Feng slowly came to Ye Ying’s side. “Brother Ye, we’ve gone too far this time. We might have already offended all the elders. Fortunately, we’ve stabilized their emotions.. What should we do next?”
