Vol'jin's words were harsh and stern, but the guild leaders naturally wouldn't be afraid. However, this punishment was too severe. Even though they were extremely dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do.
Many guild leaders had already made up their minds, thinking that there was no way they would make things easy for Li Yao. They planned to engage in non-violent non-cooperation, refusing to cooperate properly. In the end, even if they failed, it would naturally be considered Li Yao's responsibility.
Li Yao stood in the back, watching those indignant guild leaders below with a slight sneer. They only saw the benefits of becoming a Military Governor, not considering any of the drawbacks. Did they really think he wanted to be this Military Governor?
If he wanted a military rank, there were many safer ways to get it than this.
