The conversation between Chen Yang and Wu Kexin had been very quiet, and since these seven people were already scared out of their wits, they didn't hear a thing Chen Yang said to Wu Kexin.
So when they saw Chen Yang coming over, they thought he was going to set the fire.
Then they began to kowtow and beg for mercy again, bobbing their heads as if it cost them nothing.
"Please, spare me. As long as you spare me, I can agree to anything you want, I can give you anything, just don't kill me." Among the seven, only the one from the Gu Family was a bit louder in begging for mercy, and the words he said had more substance, constantly promising benefits to Chen Yang.
As for the others, maybe because they had no bargaining chips, they could only incessantly plead for mercy.
Chen Yang had long noticed the gap between their pleas, but at the time he didn't take it seriously.
