“To tell you the truth, if it were me, 1 would also be willing. You might have forgotten how you got to where you are today, right? Which one of you isn’t desperate back then? Young Master Ye took you in, nurtured you, and gave you a chance to get to your current position bit by bit from the bottom.”

Elder Qiao’s words were very pertinent. “I don’t know if you still remember what Young Master Ye told you back then. The reason why he established this mercenary group was completely because he wants to have the ability to repay a person in the future. Even if he had to give up everything, he wouldn’t hesitate.”

Elder Hu paused for a moment and began to quickly dig up his memories, searching for the puzzle in Elder Qiao’s words. “That’s right. Although that was many years ago, 1 still remember it now.”

“Now that he has made the decision to move out of Country H, he’s fulfilling his promise at that time. I still remember the scene clearly. You swore that you would follow him for the rest of your lives, no matter what choice he made.”

Elder Qiao recalled the scene back then and his tone softened. “But what you’re doing now is completely opposite from what you said back then. For your own selfish interests, you even have the intention to compete with Young Master Ye.”

“We were forced to do so. It’s different from that year. In the past, we didn’t have any worries or weaknesses. We only had the passion to work with Young Master Ye.”

Elder Hu’s face revealed obvious agitation. “Besides, this isn’t the only reason why the elders have become like this.”

“I know that you think Young Master Ye chose to retreat when Duo Feng was about to attack us because he was afraid.”

Elder Qiao’s mind was very clear. He knew what the elders were thinking. “So you think that Ye Ying, who has always been omnipotent, will be afraid one day, so he’s no longer suitable to be the leader of this group.”

Elder Hu nodded in agreement and whispered, “That’s right.”

“You’ve really returned Young Master Ye’s teachings to him. Can’t any of you think of his intentions? Won’t war cause innocent injuries? Aren’t the others in our regiment like you, with wives and children?”

After hearing the other party admit it personally, Elder Qiao was even angrier. “As long as the battle really erupts, even if we win, our vitality will definitely be greatly damaged. Young Master Ye doesn’t want everyone to die for nothing, so he neutralized these two matters, and he made this decision. Leave Country H and rely on a greater power.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the room instantly fell silent.

Only then did Elder Hu slowly realize that Ye Ying was not doing this for himself or to escape. He was thinking about the future of everyone and the entire mercenary group.

After thinking everything through, he began to feel regret. Why couldn’t he have thought of this earlier? Why did he suspect someone who had taken him in when he was at his wits’ end?

At the same time, when he thought about how he was still working with Duo Feng to discuss how to collaborate with the outside to destroy Ye Ying, he wished he could slap himself hard.

“I wonder if Elder Hu can understand Young Master Ye’s intentions now?” Elder Qiao asked.

“I understand.” Elder Hu frowned tightly. Complex emotions were clearly visible on his face.

“Since we’ve finished talking about Young Master Ye, it’s time to talk about what you did.”

Elder Qiao quickly changed his attitude and adjusted from his previous state. “I think Elder Hu had a huge misunderstanding of Young Master Ye during this period of time. But at the same time, you did something wrong because of this.”

These words immediately made Elder Hu break free from his self-reproach. His gaze instantly became vigilant.

“Aren’t we talking about Young Master Ye’s decision here? Why did this topic change to me?”
