"Damn it, this guy is a bit clever, how come I didn’t notice before."
The next second, he also knelt down with a thud, tears and snot streaming down his face as he said, "Awakener sir, Scarface is right. After seeing your actions, I realized I had done many immoral things in the past. I am willing to reform and become a new person. I hope you can give me a chance."
Seeing this, the others also followed suit and knelt down.
Instantly, the sounds of pleading filled the air.
The women in the carriage were trembling like leaves in the wind.
They had thought that from now on, they could get rid of these thugs and start new lives. Who knew these people would still try to follow them!
What would happen after that?
They didn’t dare to think further.
"Reform and become a new person?"
Chen Fan muttered.
The begging crowd fell silent, nodding like chickens pecking at rice.
"Those eight words are easy to say, but hard to do," Chen Fan sighed lightly.
"Sir."
Scarface shouted, "Please give us a chance. We will prove with our actions that we can do what we say!"
"Sir, please give us a chance?"
"Awakener sir, we can definitely do it."
The others chimed in.
They felt like they could see the dawn of hope.
As long as they put in a little more effort, the bright future was waving at them.
"Actually, this chance is not something you should ask me for."
Chen Fan shook his head.
"?"
Scarface and the others were confused by these words.
They looked around.
It didn’t seem like there were any other Awakeners here?
If they didn’t ask Chen Fan for the chance, who else could they ask?
"You should ask them."
Chen Fan pointed towards the women in the carriage.
"Ask them if they are willing to give you a chance to reform and become new people."
As the words fell, both groups were stunned.
"They, they..."
A bad premonition arose in Scarface’s heart and the others’.
They knew all too well why these women were here.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, a voice filled with hatred rang out, "No way! I will never give them that chance! They killed my husband, killed my son, and brought me here. I wish they would die!"
"Exactly, even if I become a ghost, I won’t forgive them! Reform? Become new people? They don’t deserve it!"
"Awakener sir, don’t be fooled by them. They haven’t truly repented; they just want to leave here!"
A single stone caused a thousand ripples. Initially, it was just a few scattered voices, but then hundreds of voices overlapped, getting louder and louder.
Tears streamed from the women’s eyes as they glared venomously at Scarface and his group, who were kneeling on the ground.
"You!"
Someone roared angrily, eyes filled with killing intent.
Yesterday, these women went out of their way to please them, and now they dared to ruin their chances!
Don’t they want to live?
"Alas."
Seeing this, Scarface sighed inwardly.
He knew, things were over.
But if he could do it all over again, he would still make the same choice.
The noise lasted for more than a minute. Only when Chen Fan raised his hand did it slowly quiet down.
"You all heard it too. They are not willing to give you this chance, so I naturally cannot be generous on their behalf."
"This... "
Some were unwilling and wanted to plead again.
But seeing Chen Fan’s expressionless face, the words stuck in their throats.
Many couldn’t hide the killing intent in their eyes, glaring at the women in the carriage. If it weren’t for Chen Fan, they would have rushed over and killed those women.
"Awakener sir, since that’s the case, we have nothing more to say. We just hope you can undo the True Qi restriction on us and give us a way out," Scarface learned his lesson this time.
Otherwise, he feared Chen Fan would turn around and ask the women’s opinion again.
If that happened, would they have anything good coming their way?
The women also looked at Chen Fan.
They fervently hoped he would kill these thugs, the more brutal the method, the better!
But they also knew their limits, aware that getting rescued from the pit of hell was already an enormous blessing. Demanding more would be greedy.
"I can’t agree to that."
Chen Fan shook his head.
"What!"
Scarface and the others felt their hearts sink.
Some wished they could curse Chen Fan, but a sliver of hope remained in their hearts, just in case something changed?
"Wh-why?"
Scarface was the first to ask, "Awakener sir, there’s no enmity between us, right? Besides, we helped you before. We understand if you don’t want to take us with you, but why won’t you let us go?"
"Good question."
Chen Fan nodded and said, "Because from the start, I never intended to let you go."
"!!!"
Hearing Chen Fan’s words, the thugs were stunned on the spot.
So that meant from the moment they were found, their fate was already sealed.
They thought they had a chance to live, so they obediently followed orders and even entertained some unrealistic fantasies.
But the women in the carriage were teary-eyed with joy.
