Upon hearing that the Radical Faction's main base had been destroyed, the previously listless crowd instantly burst into discussion.
Beneath their suspicion, there was an excitement they couldn't hide.
"Is everything you're saying true?" An old man in the crowd suddenly spoke up, looking very weak.
The turmoil was still a recent memory, so most people still retained their formerly pampered appearances, marred only by a hint of exhaustion and a world-weary look.
But one could tell from his eyes that this old man had likely been through some very dangerous moments.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a gaze.
"Of course it's true."
"I have no reason to lie to you."
"Those who now obey me have stayed at the base. As for those who refused, I didn't keep a single one." Shi Li was, of course, exaggerating, but it seemed the crowd below was eating it up.
To everyone's surprise, the old man suddenly burst into loud sobs.
His outburst left everyone around him stunned.
