At this point, Lin Yifan had no reason to suspect this group of mercenaries.
A person guilty of heinous crimes, deserving death by everyone, would not be shown leniency by him. Therefore, after apologizing to the mercenaries, he let them leave.
Originally, the mercenary group could have chosen to make trouble at this moment, but they decided it was better to avoid more trouble and spared Lin Yifan and Lei Ming for now.
If Lin Yifan and Lei Ming pursued them further, they would not show mercy.
Their confidence came from this being their territory. How could local snakes fear outsiders?
After the mercenaries left, a Qiuluo City resident who had been sticking around and answering Lei Ming's earlier questions secretly approached.
He told Lin Yifan and Lei Ming that although the mercenary group used prisoners, some of those prisoners hadn't committed crimes deserving death but were still taken by the mercenaries to be used as bait.
