464: So I feel sorry for him
No need to trouble them. I've come myself.
Pan Han smiled slightly and nodded at the three of them.
The Three Elders narrowed their eyes, sizing up Pan Han. He currently seemed like a black hole, as if he could even suck in one's gaze.
Which of the elders wasn't an experienced, savvy veteran?
Yet now, they couldn't discern anything strange about Pan Han; instead, he exuded a calm gentleness.
But he also radiated an astonishing sense of oppression. This complex feeling was simply too exaggerated.
The Three Elders couldn't help but adjust their posture, sitting up straight and rigid.
What? Don't you recognize me anymore? As he spoke, Pan Han sat down beside the three of them.
Leader, it's been a long time! The First Elder steadied himself, squeezed out a faint smile, and replied to Pan Han.
I have to say, this bunker is not bad! I've never been here before.
Pan Han surveyed the conference room, his divine sense having already pierced through all dimensions.
Rather than a bunker, it was more like a titanium alloy can.
Back in the day, the Leader spared no cost and spent over a decade to build this currently impregnable bunker.
Unfortunately, for Pan Han, coming and going was effortless.
But if we go to war with Eagle Sauce in the future, it can serve as a makeshift base.
Leader, just say what you have to say, no need to beat around the bush. How do you want us to die?
Seeing that Pan Han was still in the mood to survey the conference room, the Third Elder couldn't hold his composure and simply asked directly.
Are you in a rush? As per the old routine, Pan Han lit a cigarette, threw the pack on the table, and signaled for everyone to help themselves.
A bet is a bet. I'm decades old, would I really go back on my word?
The Third Elder unceremoniously picked up a cigarette and waved it at Pan Han.
Not bad! You still retain the spirit of the Knight Order even at death's door. You can explain yourself to the Leader when you go down there. Pan Han nodded, quite satisfied with his performance in the face of death.
Then do it. The Third Elder lit the cigarette, closed his eyes, and waited for Pan Han's fatal strike.
Don't be so anxious. I still have questions to ask. Pan Han raised his hand slightly, and the Third Elder's eyelids opened involuntarily.
This... The Third Elder was immensely shocked.
Feeling Pan Han's divine power at such close range was truly terrifying!
Leader. You don't need to ask; we will tell you. The First Elder lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, his expression softening, and his eyes even began to glaze over.
Good. Why did you hunt me down? Pan Han nodded.
That's simple. Most of our Knight Order's industries were built with the help of Eagle Sauce. You had a falling out with them, but there's no reason to drag over a million people down with you. The Third Elder didn't wait for the First Elder to speak, cutting in first with a slightly agitated tone, as if he were the embodiment of justice.
Leader. We believed you lacked the ability to lead the Knight Order to greater heights, which is why we decided to turn against you. Going to war with Eagle Sauce was just a pretext. The First Elder seemed much calmer.
So you've been preparing for this for a long time. Pan Han thought about it; he really hadn't given much thought to the development of the Knight Order.
He had always treated them as an ATM and an office; as for what mission or future this organization had, that wasn't within his scope of consideration.
How does that saying go?
A girl you get for free is someone you don't know how to cherish.
We've been with the Knight Order for decades. We long ago discovered that your heart wasn't here. If we let you continue to lead, the Knight Order would eventually disband. The First Elder continued to confront Pan Han directly.
Leader, allow me to say something. The Second Elder, who hadn't spoken until now, finally gathered the courage to speak.
Go ahead...
If our deaths could lead the Knight Order to steady development, we old guys wouldn't even blink. Do you think we overthrew you for our own interests? The Second Elder slowly exhaled a smoke ring, speaking with deep meaning.
Hey! So, it seems it's my fault again?
This scene, Pan Han felt like he had seen it somewhere before; why was this kind of rhetoric everywhere?
Sigh! The apocalypse is better! None of this nonsense; if you disagree, you just kill them and be done with it. Pan Han sighed inwardly; his own world still required so much reasoning.
Ha, Leader. Who is to blame is no longer important. Do it. We've said everything that needed to be said.
Seeing Pan Han lost in thought, the First Elder used reverse psychology, retreating to advance.
He hoped to be clever, provoke Pan Han, and strive to avoid being killed.
Don't be in a rush, let's settle the accounts. Pan Han pulled out a small notebook from who knows where and laid it flat on the table.
What accounts? The Three Elders looked confused.
Calculating how many people I need to kill. Have you ever heard of exterminating the nine generations?
Pan Han lifted his eyes, his gaze filled with malice, and the temperature in the conference room instantly dropped to freezing.
What?
Although the Three Elders were not from the Dragon Kingdom, they had been with the Leader for so long that they naturally had heard of exterminating the nine generations.
The four paternal lines, the three maternal lines, and the two maternal grandmother's lines; after wiping them all out, their traces would be erased from the world forever.
You... Chief One's lips trembled slightly; he never imagined that Pan Han would resort to such a ruthless act.
Ha! Good lad, you actually have a bit of the look of a Knight Order Leader now! The Second Elder, contrary to his usual demeanor, actually cheered for Pan Han.
Old Two, get lost! The Third Elder thought of his seventeen or eighteen wives and dozens of children.
Old Three, what do you know! Do you understand? You don't know anything! He is now decisive in killing; only then can he lead the Knight Order to greater heights in the future! You idiot! Your family members laying the foundation for our Knight Order's takeoff is getting off cheap.
The Second Elder excitedly slapped the table and roared at the Third Elder.
Pan Han ignored them; mainly, he couldn't understand why they were still arguing when they were about to die.
Stop arguing, you two. You didn't commit suicide earlier, and now that you're in the Leader's hands, you still have the nerve to bicker!
The First Elder said viciously, regretting that he hadn't done it himself earlier; if he had, he might have been able to spare his family's lives.
Forget it, I won't calculate it. Seeing that you all are quite loyal to the Knight Order, I'll give a discount; however many are in the bunker, that's it. Pan Han closed the notebook. His divine sense wasn't strong enough to cover the entire Blue Star, and he really couldn't identify how many people were in the nine generations at the moment.
A few fish slipping through the net wouldn't be a big problem; they wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble anyway.
He was now a high-level evolver; even if he sat here without moving and let them attack, they couldn't kill him.
Haha! Then should we old guys thank you, Leader? The First Elder laughed after hearing this, almost forgetting that this was an execution.
You're welcome! After you go down there, remember to tell the Leader that I have let him down! Pan Han nodded and said.
Oh? How have you let him down? the Third Elder asked.
Before he passed, he asked me to treat you three well! But I didn't do it.
You! You should have listened to the Leader! The Third Elder's eyes suddenly became blurry, tears welling up; he felt as if he could see the Leader's kind face.
Yes! That's why I've let him down! After saying this, Pan Han flipped his hands and his gaze sharpened.
The next moment, the Three Elders suddenly stood up and began to bite and grapple with each other.
And inside the bunker, their families also began to slaughter each other.
