What's more crucial is that the other party also holds the Evolution Agent for the Rock-Horned Horse Path, using contracts as a threat. If Wang Chen chooses to escape the Li Family's control, he would be hunted down everywhere.
This means Wang Chen could only become a Wanderer, unable to develop in other official settlements.
Without influence or resources, he would either live a life of hunger and hardship or be devoured by other Wanderers, with nothing left.
Moreover, once tagged with a warrant, he could no longer trade with official powers. Even if he miraculously achieved Tier One Late-Stage Evolution, his life would always bear the mark of a traitor, preventing him from purchasing the Evolutionary Source Material of a Tier Two Rock-Horned Horse.
This is a deadlock.
A meticulous net knitted by the Li Family, enveloping every Evolver under their command, squeezing out their last ounce of value.
