Chapter 250: Fight or Flight
After becoming a Rank Seven Ruler, I gained an increased amount of territory that I could mark as my own. The amount of land I could convert now allowed me to cover an urban block—despite this, I am unable to cover the entire Jiang compound.
However, it gave me a choice.
To protect the people in the central mansion buildings, or the outer area where the soldiers and lower-ranked people close to the walls lived.
"Haa..." A sigh left my lips as I leaned against the backrest of my sofa.
Mu Qinglan and Jiang Roulan sat on either side of me while Shen Yifei lay on the opposite sofa, kicking her legs in a short skirt and loose t-shirt.
"Do you think we can win?"
"Nonsense, has John led us into danger before?"
"Mmm~ he has though, right? The mall was horrible." Yifei leaned on her side, her fangs nibbling her lips as she mumbled.
"Shut it dumb blonde!"
Jiang Roulan showed her concern as she leaned against me and ran her soft fingertips along my skin. I could feel the faint tremble from time to time while Mu Qinglan remained adamantly sure that I wouldn’t fail them.
The pressure from such blind faith was both supporting and a little overbearing. If I could show some weakness, they wouldn’t look to me as their rock. However, if I did that when the situation turned dire, the women would lose all hope and trust in me.
"John, what are your orders."
