Under One Person: The frog cub gave me an insulating claw at the beginning

When they got back, they saw the man sitting there, holding a string of walnuts, constantly fiddling with it.

They were in a particularly relaxed mood, but when facing each other, they couldn't lift their heads.

The middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked at them.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Did you succeed? I knew it wouldn't fail."

His tone carried a hint of confidence, after all, he had never failed when doing this kind of thing, so he was now certain that Feng Tianci was already dead and would not be able to oppose him.

But those people lowered their heads.

"Boss, we failed. He fought us all by himself and succeeded. Most importantly, his abilities are hard for us to figure out."

"I didn't expect him to be so strong. Boss, what should we do now?"

"I really didn't expect him to attack us, and he did it so quickly that we didn't even have time to react."

As they spoke, everyone lowered their heads, as if they were still unable to explain themselves to the person in front of them regarding this matter.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's smile vanished. He had sent out these 12 men, expecting them to succeed.

But to his surprise, the task assigned by these 12 people disappointed him greatly, and they actually failed.

"Do you know what the punishment is after failure? And you also know that I never tolerate any weakling here."

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's threat, they all knelt down on the ground, despite being disciples of a special distance.

Everyone has their day, but they saw power and profit, so they bypassed special privileges and became someone else's lackeys.

Now their fates are all in the hands of others, and the Special Bureau will not stand up for them.

"We have done our best. We really can't fathom his strength, and we have no way to fight against him."

As they spoke, each of them seemed unable to face the person in front of them; they kept their heads down, no longer daring to look at the person before them.

The middle-aged man simply chuckled.

"Then go out and receive your punishment. After all, you know what punishment is. If you survive, that's your good fortune. If you don't survive, then you deserve it."

He spoke in a relaxed tone, but one of the young men below couldn't take it anymore. After all, they had been treated like servants for so many years and had never had any freedom.

"Why should we be his grandson? We've listened to you for so many years. If you continue to attack us, then sorry, we're going to die anyway. Today, I'm going to rebel. If we hadn't followed you back then, perhaps we would have had a bright future."

"That's right, why should we listen to him? We lost the protection of the Special Bureau. If we hadn't followed him, perhaps we would be making a name for ourselves in the Special Bureau now. It's a pity that we betrayed the old man back then, but in the end we still couldn't find a way out for ourselves."

"Since we're all going to die anyway, you shouldn't live either." Influenced by the emotions of these people, they all stood up and attacked the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man wasn't worried at all. These were just a few people who wanted to rebel against him, and he had never cared about these people who rebelled.

"I told you, you are no match for me, but you just wouldn't believe me. In that case, you can try and see if you can make a move against me."

The instant they charged, all of them perished, while the remaining men simply knelt on the ground, silent and trembling.

"See? This is what happens when you rebel against me."

The men below volunteered to accept their punishment, but they were wrong. They thought that as long as they joined forces, they could definitely kill this weak middle-aged man.

But who could have imagined that the other side had so many forces at their disposal, leaving them with no way to resist and depriving them of their most proactive rights?

All their plans along the way seem to have failed, and the Special Bureau's current resistance is only temporary. Given the Special Bureau's capabilities, it will likely only weaken and become weaker, and it simply won't have the strength to fight back.

After receiving their punishment, they were now in a dark, gloomy room, which was their freest moment. However, even in this moment of freedom, they still felt extremely strained.

"Do you think what we're doing can help the newly appointed leader of the Special Bureau? Can he help our brothers get revenge?"

"Maybe he can. He can take on all 12 of us by himself. Even the old man couldn't have done it so quickly. Although the old man was also very strong, I heard he's dead."

"Don't you know best? After all, we were involved in the old man's death; we were the ones who sent him away."

They had no other choice at the time. If they hadn't participated in this mission, the Special Bureau probably wouldn't exist, and those people would have run into trouble.

They were given a choice, and they had no choice but to deal with the old man. Moreover, at the moment the old man died, he could have resisted.

Or perhaps he used all his strength to take a few away, but the old man was too soft-hearted.

They knew perfectly well that the old man was being lenient with them because he wanted to give them a chance to turn back from their misconduct. But they were now under his control, so how could they possibly escape so easily?

"The old man was controlled by others his whole life, but he always tried to find a way to balance the power between the Special Bureau and various localities. However, he tried to balance it his whole life, but it was all in vain."

When Feng Tianci returned, he saw that everyone was worried about him, and he only said one thing.

"It's alright, don't worry. I'm back safe and sound. I was just called over for a sip of tea. As for their conditions, I will never agree to them."

After Feng Tianci finished speaking in front of everyone, he clearly saw the bald man breathe a sigh of relief. Feng Tianci roughly understood why the old man insisted on giving this position to him instead of the bald man.

Because the old man knew in his heart that someone as simple-minded as Baldy would be helpless against the dirty tricks of the Special Bureau.

It's even highly likely that, given his personality, the bald man wouldn't be able to become a puppet behind those people and would die immediately. This is to protect him. (End of Chapter)
