Your Self-Cuckolding Tendencies Are Pretty Serious

"Kai Prefecture Academy is entirely in my hands now, but quite a few people still refuse to submit." Li Fan's expression was somewhat grim.

At the beginning, everyone had been fine with it. Li Fan's actions had not overly encroached upon their interests, so they had merely treated it as a larger club.

As for the ruthless methods from before, those had been nothing more than combat casualties.

But once he subtly revealed his intentions, everyone either looked at him as though he were insane or assumed he was joking.

Once they confirmed that he was serious, quite a few people simply fled.

The reason was simple. They could eat well, drink well, and grow stronger. Though the intense martial culture carried some danger, they had never considered carving out territory and ruling as kings.

The main issue was that Li Fan's choice was far too bizarre. Of all places, he had chosen an academy as the base for his uprising.

They were all students, with families and friends. The Federation had not driven them to the brink of death, so why would they follow Li Fan to their deaths? It could have succeeded, but nearly half the Heavenly Mandate on Li Fan had vanished, and he was neither charismatic nor talented.

If this had been before, when his Heavenly Mandate was complete, one wave of his arm would surely have drawn countless followers.

But things were different now. Apart from his harem, whose Heavenly Mandates had been derived from his own, most people actually thought things through.

Anyone with a functioning brain would not follow him into this nonsense.

Fortunately, he still possessed more than half of his Heavenly Mandate, and he had tied some people to himself through shared interests.

But those people were also harboring ulterior motives.
