C2552 Opportunities for Proactive Selection

Under Liu Lei's threat, the Patriarchs all gave up on this idea.

Thus, he decided to make amends by gritting his teeth.

This reduced the resistance of Chen Nanfeng and the others a lot. In the future, it would be much smoother for them to collect compensation.

Just a single sentence from Liu Lei had such a huge effect.

"Alright, let's talk about the last thing we need to do now."

"After talking about this, we'll owe each other nothing, and I won't cause you any more trouble."

"All of you can leave right now or continue playing here. It's up to you all."

"Of course, the premise is still to cooperate well. Otherwise, you should be clear about the consequences if you anger me."

Liu Lei said lightly.

The Patriarchs looked at each other in dismay.

Of course, they knew what the next thing Liu Lei wanted to say was. It was just that they weren't mentally prepared and found it hard to accept.

However, Liu Lei did not care whether they could accept it or not.

"In order to punish you for your greed, I need one of your clans to become a vassal force of our city, to serve as an example."

"To be honest, I'm already very merciful."

"After all, you all want to swallow the Ancient Martial Realm of our entire city. I merely want to swallow one of your clans."

"I hope all of you can be more tactful. Otherwise, I don't mind annexing an entire city's Ancient Martial Realm. After all, I have the strength to do so, no?"

The Patriarchs nodded silently and agreed with Liu Lei's words.

Liu Lei did indeed have the strength to swallow the entire city's Ancient Martial Realm.

However, he chose to annex a certain clan. This was indeed a benevolent act.

And now, it was the time for Liu Lei to repay them for their kindness.

Honestly speaking, it was not a good thing to submit to a strong man like Liu Lei.

At least it would be safer if there was someone strong to cover it with.

But becoming a subsidiary power, that was simply too shameful.

If it was an alliance, they would have agreed long ago, and would even fight over it.

However, they also understood that they were guilty of a crime and had no other choice.

They were not qualified to be allies, so they could only become subordinate forces.

"Now the question is, which of you is willing to submit and serve?"

"I'll give you all a chance to choose. I hope you all treasure it well and come to a decision as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, when my patience runs out, I might change my mind."

"Who knows if this kind of thing will happen or not, when the time comes I might want to annex all of the city's Ancient Martial Realm."

Liu Lei chuckled and then sat to the side, drinking tea and waiting.0

He believed that there would definitely be a clan that would willingly submit to him, and there would always be one.

In fact, he could choose his own clan, which would be much faster, and would also allow him to choose a rather powerful subsidiary clan.

However, he did not choose to do so.

Mainly because of a question of loyalty.

If he were to choose, although the selected Patriarch would not say anything on the surface, he would definitely not be convinced in his heart.

This way, there would be problems sooner or later. There was no way to guarantee his loyalty.

However, the one who took the initiative to submit was different. The representative who took the initiative to surrender was rather weak.

Either way, it would be easier to subdue.

With just a few tricks, he could become a true subsidiary clan.
