"Clan Leader wants to speak with Mr. Jiang, everyone step outside."
All members of the Liao Family exited the hospital room and closed the door behind them. Li Yang could only stand outside, staring blankly.
At this moment, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen with newfound respect. Jiang Chen had said nothing and done nothing, yet he had managed to leave Li Yang feeling stung.
Li Yang was no fool; he realized that Jiang Chen was far from ordinary. Initially, he had held a prejudice against Jiang Chen due to his youth and arrogance, but reflecting on the current situation, he recognized that he had been too quick to judge. As someone in a position of power, he should be more magnanimous and not let personal feelings cloud his judgment of others.
"Brother Yi, it seems I truly underestimated Mr. Jiang," Li Yang said, his tone filled with humility.
One good thing about soldiers is their straightforwardness; they don't hide their thoughts and express their displeasure openly through actions and words.
"Whether you underestimated him or not will become clear once the issues with the Holy Witch Cult are resolved. Speaking about it now feels somewhat hollow. I am also looking forward to Mr. Jiang surprising me, or perhaps even shocking me," Zeng Xianyi said with a slight smile, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
Inside the hospital room, Jiang Chen pulled back the curtains, letting sunlight pour into the space. Standing against the light, Liao Yangmai on the hospital bed struggled to sit up but found himself unable to move.
"You are Mr. Jiang. I cannot rise; please forgive me," Liao Yangmai said nervously. This Mr. Jiang was indeed young, but since Li Haifeng had spoken highly of his abilities, there must be truth to it.
"Just lie down. Clan Leader Liao, I admire your spirit for not succumbing to the tyranny of the Holy Witch Cult," Jiang Chen said with a light laugh.
"Though the Holy Witch Cult comes on strong and stirs up chaos in Xiangxi, I am a Huaxia person; how could I submit to an evil cult from another race? Moreover, I have heard that we Huaxia have experts like Mr. Jiang among us. As long as you take action, Mr. Jiang, you can surely clear up the situation in Xiangxi immediately. I will never yield to an evil cult unless they kill me," Liao Yangmai said passionately, eager for Jiang Chen to understand his resolve.
If it weren't for his incapacitated limbs, he would have been gesturing excitedly.
"Your spirit is commendable. How did Clan Leader Liao come to know about me?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"I heard it from Clan Leader Li some time ago..." Liao Yangmai replied loudly.
"Oh, I see! I do not like those without backbone; such people deserve to die," Jiang Chen said casually.
Although he spoke in a calm tone, Liao Yangmai felt a chill run down his spine. There was no joking in Jiang Chen's words; for someone of his caliber, taking a life would be all too easy.
Liao Yangmai silently mourned for those from the Sha Family and Wu Family while feeling grateful that he had not listened to his kin and submitted to the Holy Witch Cult. It seemed that heaven had not been unkind to the Liao Family; after more than a year of good deeds and virtue, they were finally being rewarded today.
If Jiang Chen had arrived any later, the Liao Family would either have found themselves aligned with the Holy Witch Cult or facing annihilation. Had they sided with the Holy Witch Cult, Liao Yangmai knew that Jiang Chen would not spare them.
Between the Holy Witch Cult and Jiang Chen, Liao Yangmai found himself leaning more towards believing in Jiang Chen. After all, someone who could instill fear even in Li Haifeng must possess extraordinary powers. Thus, Liao Yangmai firmly believed that Jiang Chen's strength surpassed that of the Holy Witch Cult.
"Mr. Jiang, I am Liao Yangmai and certainly not without backbone. Though my limbs are now useless and I may be bedridden for life, my family will continue to accumulate good deeds and promote Huaxia virtues," Liao Yangmai stated earnestly.
