The man from Xun Gate didn't really have the leverage to bargain with Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue had offered him a few perks, and he had no reason to refuse.
Especially after the four captives from Zhen Gate had told him how Captive Number 2 had died, the man from Xun Gate hadn't even considered resisting.
Eighty people had gone down just like that. The sheer force of it had shaken him. Should he cling to life by any means, or go down pathetically? It wasn't a difficult choice for him.
