They had no choice but to believe an unbelievable fact.
The water pipes were controlled by Mirai?!
This fact was hard for everyone who had once thought Mirai was a braggart pretending to still be useless to accept.
When Mirai saw that they remained silent, he frowned and shouted at them through a controllable hose.
"Ha!!!"
Amid the roar of the water hose, his shout reached Fang Zi and the others at close range, carrying a faint dampness, as though it had been brushed by a light rain.
Yet the roar of the water vortex completely jolted them awake as well!
"M-Milord, this lowly one didn't know you were a powerful exorcist. This lowly one was blind. I beg you to forgive me."
Fang Zi was the first to come to his senses. But once he clearly understood the situation, he decisively dropped to his knees and slammed his head against the ground three times, splitting his forehead open.
No one else looked down on him. Instead, they began crying one after another, kneeling on the ground and banging their heads.
"Please forgive me! I had no eyes and failed to recognize you. I beg for your forgiveness!"
"Please forgive me! This lowly one still has a wife and children to support. Please spare me!"
In times of war, no one cared about the saying that a man's knees were worth gold. To them, as long as they could survive and earn another's forgiveness, kneeling was no more difficult than drinking water.
However, kowtowing until one bled was different. It could be said to be the highest plea for forgiveness in those times.
Even so, after Fang Zi kowtowed to Mirai, he heard no response and did not dare raise his head.
He remembered how he had mocked Mirai before.
