Chapter 1345 - 1344: Infighting
No matter how they chose, they would end up offending the Ten Great Families. Who would want to take the lead in such a matter?
But if they didn’t choose, Xue Nu would take matters into his own hands, and even more people would die. At that point, no one would know if they could save their own lives!
Master Wang was the most panicked. He was very worried that if Xue Nu took action himself, he would likely be the first to die. After all, the attempt to kill Lü Donglin was something he had been leading!
Master Wang was very clear that if he didn’t dare to finalize the selection of these ten people, his own life would be in danger. He covertly glanced at the other Family Heads of the Ten Great Families, signaling them with his eyes, hinting that they should choose the ten individuals together.
But these Family Heads pretended not to see it, each turning their heads aside and refusing to meet his gaze. It was quite clear what they meant; nobody wanted to do the dirty work and offend others. Besides, they had no need to worry since they weren’t leading the earlier incident. Whatever Master Wang wanted to do was his business, and it had nothing to do with them!
Master Wang was extremely angry, so much so that he almost cursed out loud. He, of course, could see that these people just wanted him to be the scapegoat.
But the crux of the matter was that he couldn’t afford not to be the scapegoat now. If he didn’t step up, no one else would speak, and if they waited any longer, he would definitely be the first one finished.
Taking a deep breath, Master Wang said with a heavy tone, "Since that’s the case, in order to minimize our losses, let’s... let’s just select ten people..."
As soon as he spoke, everyone’s eyes were focused on him. Among these people, some were secretly pleased, some were panicked, and others were confused.
The Family Heads of the Ten Great Families looked at each other, all silently sneering in their hearts. One of them turned to Master Wang and said, "So, Master Wang, who do you think we should select as the ten individuals?"
Master Wang was on the verge of cursing out loud. This bastard was actually making him select the candidates in public, which was surely going to be the death of him.
