1316 Confronting the Exiles

"What is the meaning of this?! I thought we were after an Exile! Nobody said anything about hunting a Player— Player Yuan, much less!"

The Players were outraged when they realized that they had been tricked by the Ten Great Families to go after Player Yuan, who was an idol to many of them.

"Shut up!" Xiong Lu roared, quickly silencing the scene.

"We are after the Exile! However, we recently learned that she had formed a partnership with Player Yuan! Unfortunately, we weren't able to reveal this information in time."

"If I have to fight Player Yuan, I'd rather quit this group!" Someone suddenly said.

"Right?! I'm leaving!" Another exclaimed.

More and more of the Players started threatening to leave the group.

Xiong Lu's body trembled in anger, and he shouted a moment later, "You can leave if you want! However, don't forget about the contract that you signed! Not to mention the money that we have already sent you! You are obligated to fulfill your duties! If you decide to leave without fulfilling your duties, the Ten Great Families will become your enemy. I will ensure of that."

The Players trembled in fear after hearing Xiong Lu's words, their faces filled with despair. While Player Yuan may be the strongest Player in Cultivation Online, the Ten Great Families have real influence in the real world, and their influence isn't small.

In fact, the Ten Great Families are so immensely wealthy and influential to the point where even the government could not touch them without risking a serious backlash in the economy amongst other things.

If ordinary Players were to make an enemy out of such titans, their lives would be ruined, not to mention their friends and families.

"P-Player Yuan or not, I will fulfill my duties!" The Players changed their minds in the blink of an eye after hearing Xiong Lu's threat.

The Ten Great Families' power was on full display at the moment.

Seeing this, Yuan could only shake his head in silence. He felt bad for the Players. They were tricked by the Ten Great Families and forced to fight.

"Don't worry, I don't blame you guys," Yuan said a moment later.

When the Players heard Yuan's words, they felt less guilty about their actions.

Meanwhile, the Exiles were running out of patience.

"I don't know what you lots are chatting about, but I have no reason to raise my hand against a mere child. I only agreed to work with you because of the Asura Clan's Exile, yet I don't see her anywhere. What is the meaning of this? If you don't give us a satisfying answer, I will kill you, regardless of your background."

Unlike the Players, the Exiles had no reason to listen to Xiong Lu, and with the Ten Great Families' influence limited to Earth, there was simply no way to threaten the Exiles. Even if their partners begged them, most Exiles only work when it benefits them.

Furthermore, these Exiles could easily replace their current partners with other Players at any time, as there was an abundance of Players without an Exile out there.

"There's no way this brat could be the Asura Clan's Exile's partner. The Asura Clan would never work together with a weakling." Another Exile said.

Xiong Lu knew that it would be difficult to control the Exiles, but he didn't expect it to be this difficult. In the end, he decided to tell them the truth.

"I am not lying to you— I have no reason to. He's definitely the Asura Clan's Exile's partner. After all, I watched them kill my partner." Xiong Lu said, revealing that he'd lost his Exile to Yuan.

"What? Your Exile was slain?" Fiery Queen and the others from the Ten Great Families were greatly surprised to hear this for the first time.

However, the Exiles did not immediately believe him.

"Your Exile was slain by them? What was his name?" One of the Exiles asked.

Xiong Lu gritted his teeth and uttered, "His name was Zhaohui, also known as the Harbinger of Agony!"
