Chapter 240

Commander-in-Chief Xu, this man, had all the unruliness of a military family scion. For instance, bullying by power, giving orders arrogantly, being condescending, insatiable greed, and being solely profit-driven and so on, yet there was one aspect in which he was unmatched by many.

He had an eye for timing!

He knew when to bully by power and when to be insatiable in greed. Since he had hinted for Lord Wang to quickly back down, he must have noticed something.

Lord Wang had been looking for a way out, and seeing this scene, where would he dare to insist any longer? He hurriedly said, "Lord Yuan is the Inspector General, shepherding the people on behalf of the Emperor. All of us, of course, will conscientiously follow Lord Yuan's wishes, taking Lord Yuan's lead as our guide."

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, hardly trusting their own ears.

Lord Wang's attitude... had changed too quickly, hadn't it?
