The family conference hall at this time.
The heads of the families sat in their chairs one by one, unshaven and dejected, no longer having the arrogance they had at the beginning.
Ever since Ji Che returned to Shoucheng, he has been suppressing their business. Now they have been forced into a desperate situation by Ji Che, and no matter what path they take, it will not work.
"That kid did it on purpose. If he didn't kill us, he would just treat us like mice and tease us for fun."
One of the household heads pounded the table and shouted angrily.
If this had happened in the past, the head of the family would definitely have agreed.
But this time, everyone was dead silent and no one spoke.
The old patriarch sitting in the main seat seemed to have aged ten years.
He thought Ji Che would not kill them all, but the reality was that Ji Che suppressed them to the point of suffocation.
"Ji Che has issued an ultimatum, giving us only one week to consider. Either surrender, or choose not to obey and be kicked out of the capital. He will give us a piece of wasteland and let us fend for ourselves."
A family head clenched his hands, looked at the old family head sitting in the main seat with dry lips, his eyes full of fear for Ji Che.
The night before, Ji Che suddenly rushed into his house with a large group of superpowers, beat his son up, stepped on his son's chest, looked down at his kneeling son and warned, "I will only give you one week. If your family does not submit to the authorities within this week, don't blame me for cutting your son into a human pig."
For the sake of his son's life, he dared not disobey.
But he was unable to convince other families, so he could only seek help from the old patriarch.
The old patriarch closed his eyes in pain.
If they had listened to their boss and let Ji Che take over their family, how could it have come to this?
The reason why Ji Che didn't kill them now was not because he was soft-hearted, but because these aristocratic families were a large source of free labor for Ji Che.
Ji Che is never someone who would waste available resources, and he won't stop until he has squeezed them out of every drop of value left.
"Old Patriarch, please agree to surrender! My son is still in Ji Che's hands!"
A family head cried and begged the old family head.
"My son is also in his hands. His legs were broken by that kid. If we continue to go against him, he will really kill people!"
"What do you mean? Do you want to switch sides?"
The owner of the house who slammed the table at the beginning immediately started cursing.
"You don't have any children, so of course you're not afraid of Ji Che. Our children are all in that kid's hands."
"There are still five days left. If we still haven't surrendered to the authorities, that guy will really dare to throw my son's body into my villa."
"I beg you, old master, please agree to surrender! I only have one son!"
"Old Patriarch, Old Patriarch."
…
A group of family heads knelt down before the old family head.
In fact, what they feared most was not that their son would not come back, but that Ji Che would fail to achieve his goal and kill them as well.
Ji Che said it nicely, that if they didn't surrender, he would let them leave the base and build houses for them on the wasteland.
But once they leave the base and are no longer under the supervision of the top leader, can Ji Che really let them survive?
Ji Che is a vengeful person. No one who has provoked him is alive now.
How could the old patriarch not understand Ji Che?
From the very beginning, Ji Che only gave them one way.
Either surrender or die.
[Ding! The progress bar for the Capital City Family quest is currently at 90 percent.]
Suddenly, a system notification sound rang in Song Chi's mind.
"Oh my god! I almost forgot about this mission."
Song Chi sighed and opened the panel, "I didn't expect those people from the aristocratic families were still alive. I thought Ji Che would kill them all when he returned to the capital."
"Impossible host. Ji Che is still thinking about enslaving those people from the aristocratic families. It's impossible for him to kill them."
"Compared to other people, the knowledge and methods possessed by the aristocratic families are beyond the reach of ordinary people. If used well, they can be the sharpest knife in your hand."
Song Chi's mouth twitched. "To put it nicely, it's waste utilization. To put it bluntly, Ji Che wants to take them in as his own cattle and horses."
"Yeah, that's right, the host is so smart!"
Xiao Qi clapped his hands for Song Chi.
Song Chi: Isn’t this obvious?
The senior leader who was listening nearby said, "Those aristocratic families have committed countless evil deeds. Even if they surrender, we will put electronic shackles on them and make them live under surveillance for the rest of their lives. They can only work every day to atone for their sins."
"Their villas, properties, and businesses will also be confiscated one by one."
After hearing this, Song Chi wanted to applaud the leader.
This is even worse than killing those people from the aristocratic families, and it will make their lives worse than death.
"Host, don't worry. Ji Che has kidnapped the sons of those noble families. It won't be long before those people will surrender to the authorities. Then your mission will be successfully completed."
Xiao Qi spoke to Song Chi through his mind.
"What? Ji Che kidnapped those people's sons?"
"Yeah, yeah, not only did they tie them up, they also broke their legs, forcing them to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the basement. It's terrible."
"So it's impossible for those family heads not to submit to the authorities. Your mission will definitely be accomplished."
"Even though I didn't complete it myself, it still counts as me completing the task?" Song Chi asked doubtfully.
"It's the host who counts."
"Our mission was originally to help the capital's officials remove the obstacle of the aristocratic families. Now that this obstacle is gone, regardless of whether it was you, the host, who personally delivered the final blow, you have completed this mission."
"Moreover, it was because of you, the host, that the aristocratic family was suppressed from the very beginning. Ji Che's fate was also changed because of us, so this mission will be completed by Ji Che, and the credit will still fall on us."
