Huai Qi looked at the other family heads, then at the hundreds of Hall Masters.
Wherever his gaze passed, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
Obviously, no one dared to stand up and refute his rebellious thoughts.
No, it was not that they did not dare, but they did not want to, because they did not want to die.
"Big Brother, brothers, Huai Qi will be so bold today."
"I suggest that we surrender to Zhang Xing. We have no actual conflict with Zhang Xing in the first place."
"He's taking revenge on the entire assassin group. As long as we surrender, we'll be leaving the organization. I'm sure Zhang Xing won't make things difficult for us."
"As for whether Zhang Xing will accept us or not, we'll only know after we surrender."
"After this matter is over, the organization will definitely launch a thunderous attack on us."
"But Tianya Mountain is a strategic location, and it'll be extremely difficult for them to assassinate us."
"Besides, will Zhang Xing stop after attacking Tianya Mountain?"
"Obviously not. He'll continue to look for branches in other empires. Think about it, how many high-level assassins will the organization need to send to deal with him?"
Huai Qi said all this in one breath and stopped. He had made it clear enough, and the rest of the time was for everyone to think about it.
Everyone understood that Huai Qi had pointed out three key points.
First, there was a high chance of survival after surrendering.
Second, no matter what method the organization used to take revenge or clean up the organization, it would not be easy.
Third, the main force of the organization would be used to deal with Zhang Xing.
Therefore, the benefits of surrendering were obvious.
"Then what about our families and children?"
One of the elders could not help but ask.
Everyone else looked at Huai Qi.
There were two types of assassins in the assassin group. One type worked in the dark, and the other was people with different identities.
They developed like normal families.
However, the organization would select some of the more outstanding subordinates and send them to high-level countries for training and education.
In fact, they were used as hostages.
The assassins in the dark were controlled by poisoning them and giving them the antidote at regular intervals.
After completing a certain number of missions, those who could be promoted to Venerable Ones would be completely detoxified and given a new identity.
Those who couldn't advance to the Venerable Realm would enter the intelligence department as spies, open a restaurant in a certain city, or join a certain family as a steward or something.
Huai Qi had said so much, but he hadn't mentioned this point. He couldn't have overlooked it.
"What else can we do?"
"You also know that those juniors are the most loyal members of the assassin group. If they know that we have rebelled, I'm afraid they will be the first to stand up and shout a crusade."
Huai Qi sighed.
Everyone knew that the youngsters had been brainwashed to the point that they didn't recognize anyone.
If it wasn't a matter of life and death, no one would want to rebel.
Although he couldn't see his son and grandson often, there would always be a chance to see them. He always had a thought in his heart.
He couldn't care less now. He just hoped that they were lucky and that the organization wouldn't take their anger out on them.
"Forget it, I don't want to think too much about it. Let's get through this crisis first."
The Great Master Xin Chang waved his hand as if to dispel the sadness that shrouded him.
"Pass down my order. All members of the Tianya Mountain are to put down their weapons and kneel before Zhang Xing!"
"I, Xin Chang, represent all the leaders, protectors, elders, and hall masters to kneel before Lord Zhang Zhang Xing!"
After Xin Chang finished speaking, he looked back at the main hall longingly. In the middle of the hall was his throne.
