"Right, submitting to someone like that is a disgrace!"
Chester took in a deep breath and gave the group a bitter smile before he turned to Dax and said, "Dax, I'm on his territory. I have to live by his rules. Based on our situation now, we will all die if I don't submit. Besides, Mr. Zhang is a man of great foresight. I have always admired him, so I don't feel embarrassed about serving him."
Chester understood Dax well, and he knew that it would be difficult for Dax to cover for him if he knew that he was only pretending. Besides, he could not tell Dax his plan in front of Zhang Jue.
Dax and the crowd were extremely aggrieved.
"Chester Wilson!"
Yvette stared at Chester with mixed emotions and exclaimed, "Darryl has always treated you like a brother. I can't believe that you're just another coward."
She became agitated. "We are no longer related after this! I will not address you as my brother anymore."
There was hidden meaning in her eyes despite what she said.
Indeed, Yvette was sharp enough to see through Chester's pretense in submitting to Zhang Jue. She said those words on purpose to help Chester to gain Zhang Jue's trust.
‘Yvette is smart, indeed.’
Chester felt indescribably comforted as he nodded internally to Yvette's words.
Zhang Jue laughed.
Pleased, he turned to Chester and asked, "Are you really willing to pledge allegiance to me?"
Chester took a step forward and spoke out loud, "Mr. Zhang, you are a genius. It is an honor for me, Chester Wilson, to serve you. I will certainly follow you from this day onward, and I am not afraid to risk any danger to fulfill my duty to you."
"That's good to know."
Zhang Jue smiled as he pointed to a disciple of the Carter family and said in a calm tone, "It's not that simple to be my subordinate. Kill him, and I'll believe that you're sincere."
Zhang Jue was smart enough to test Chester that way because he guessed that he could only pretend to defect.
'What?'
