Under Wang Dejun's intimidation, the bandits of the mountain stronghold shouted in unison, "Greetings, Second Boss!" But their voices clearly carried reluctance and doubt.
Upon seeing this, Chen Zhennan hurriedly stood up, his attitude humble but his tone firm: "Boss Wang, this is unacceptable. I am just a businessman, I am not qualified to be the second-in-command of this mountain stronghold."
