Li Yu seemed to be in a hurry to leave. If they could delay for more than ten minutes, they might be 'forced' to stay.

Then, once the Thunder Bureau's support arrives, they will be "rescued" by the authorities as "victims" and returned to Jincheng. Then there will still be room for negotiation!

Once back in Jincheng, they will be able to leverage their extensive network of connections and influence within the Thunder Bureau.

With just a little maneuvering, they wouldn't even need to pay a "ransom," and could even turn the tables and accuse Li Yu of illegal detention.

Then they joined forces to create enormous trouble for Li Yu's Kangcheng.

At that time, they will all be able to go home and recuperate unharmed.

Li Yu, however, will get herself into trouble for offending them.

The old men exchanged glances, then nodded silently, instantly reaching a tacit understanding.

This plan is clearly perfect.

"Oh dear... my old bones were quite frightened just now, my legs are too weak to walk..."

An elderly man was the first to "twitch," sighing and staggering, almost sitting down on the spot.

“Yes, these shackles are too heavy, we really can’t walk fast. Can you loosen them? We promise we won’t run away,” another old man chimed in, a pained expression on his face.

The other distinguished guests followed suit, some rubbing their chests and claiming palpitations, others holding their foreheads and saying they felt dizzy, their movements instantly becoming slower than snails.

Despite the efforts of Hei Er and Hei San, along with the few healing-type awakened individuals, to push and shove them from behind, these people just dawdled and refused to move quickly.

"Hurry up and go! What are you waiting for? Sit down and dawdle! Are you playing dead here?" Hei San's temper instantly flared up, and he couldn't help but frown and scold him.

These people were arrogant at first but obsequious at second. Just a moment ago they were terrified, but now they're suddenly acting like they're sick and their legs are sluggish.

"Get moving! Otherwise, we won't be polite!" Hei Yi's voice turned cold as he urged again.

Black Two and Black Three continued to try to drive the group away from behind.

The more urgently the three Hei brothers urged them, the slower the group of distinguished guests moved.

Upon seeing this, Hei Yi frowned and his eyes sharpened.

He immediately saw through the old guys' little scheme to stall for time.

But this tactic might work on others, and it might even succeed anywhere else in Central State.

But this person in front of me is Li Yu!

He is an extraordinary being who can kill two high-level awakened beings, Zhao Jianan and Liu Sha, in a short period of time!

To try to outsmart someone with such overwhelming power is simply courting death!

Hei Yi asked himself, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to play such a trick under Li Yu's nose.

A sense of absurdity welled up in his heart. Did these old guys really think that such a low-level trick would work on Li Yu?

Where did they get their courage? Have they been living in comfort for too long and lost their minds?

At this moment, Li Yu, who had only taken a few steps ahead, noticed the commotion behind her, stopped, and turned around.

That cold gaze swept over, making Hei Yi's heart tighten.

We only have ten minutes left, we can't delay any longer!

A fierce glint flashed in Hei's eyes. He swiftly pulled a palm-sized black controller from his waist and sternly addressed the distinguished guests:

"Final warning! Move immediately or don't blame me for being impolite!"

The distinguished guests' eyes flickered slightly when they saw the controller that Hei Yi had taken out, but deep down they didn't feel much fear.

They had dealt with the Thunder Bureau quite a bit, so they naturally recognized this standard device.

After absorbing energy, the shackles in the hands will convert it into electrical current and store it.

Upon receiving a signal from the controller, these strong currents immediately stimulate the wearer, which can be used to punish and subdue criminals.

The pain from the electric current is undeniable, but given their current physical condition and willpower, it wouldn't be difficult for them to endure it, since these shackles won't kill them.

However, if they cooperate with the operation and are taken away by Li Yu, their safety may not be guaranteed.

Who knows if Li Yu, who is said to be exceptionally kind to refugees, will treat them the same way? But judging from their brief previous interaction, it seems unlikely.

Once they are taken away, it's uncertain when they will be able to return to Jincheng.

Therefore, in the face of Black One's final warning, all the elders remained remarkably cooperative and even continued to stall for time.

“We really can’t walk anymore… How can you treat the elderly like this…”

An elderly man even slumped down, looking like a rogue who was saying, "Go ahead and electrocute me if you dare."

They were certain that the Black brothers would at most use electric shocks and wouldn't dare to actually kill them.

After all, they had special identities, and killing so many of them would cause a huge problem.

Upon seeing this, the five healing-type awakened individuals came over, intending to help support the elderly man and even offer to treat him.

However, the old men completely ignored all their attempts to persuade and help those who had awakened.

'These old folks aren't sick at all!'

Without further hesitation, Black One pressed the red button on the controller hard with his thumb.

"Sizzle—!"

The electric current in the shackles shot out instantly.

All the distinguished elderly guests wearing shackles trembled violently at the same time!

Intense numbness and needle-like pain swept through their bodies, causing their muscles to spasm uncontrollably. Several elderly men standing there almost collapsed as their legs gave way.

Painful groans and gasps for air rose and fell.

The current intensity clearly exceeded their expectations of being "not fatal but uncomfortable."
