Gongsun Mo sat dejectedly in his chair, painfully closing his eyes. He simply couldn't understand why these people would harbor such wishful thinking at such a critical moment.
In his view, it might be wishful thinking, but to the other party, it was absolute confidence. Li Fei enjoyed facing off against such people, because they were far too naive. Confidence can be a good thing at times, but in a situation like this, blind confidence equates to irresponsibility towards one's own life.
Actually, Gongsun Mo could see this clearly. He wanted to be responsible for the actions he would take and for his own life and property, but he was helpless when it came to these matters. He could only follow the arrangements made by the other party, including contributing to the Chu Family and so forth—everything even down to the creation of the Elixir of Life had been their doing. Under these circumstances, Gongsun Mo had no subjective autonomy over what would happen next.
