This sudden shout startled Lin Mushen, who had been somewhat frantic.
He looked at his uncle in disbelief, never imagining that this person, whom he had always regarded as his closest relative, would stand against him at this crucial moment.
Anger, disappointment, and confusion welled up in his heart, making Lin Mushen's face turn extremely ugly.
"Uncle! Are you blind? Look around! My men are everywhere! You actually chose to side with that dog emperor! You're my own uncle! Do you really think he'll treat you well?" Lin Mushen questioned angrily, his voice filled with resentment and bitterness.
