As they listened to Elder Su, the expressions of the heads of the great wealthy families darkened to the extreme.
They were illustrious aristocratic clans, after all. Even on the Ten Thousand Demons Continent, they were families that had endured for over a thousand years. How could aristocratic clans that had stood firm on the Ten Thousand Demons Continent be anything simple?
When had they ever been reprimanded like this?
Yet now, they had no way to lose their tempers.
Because Elder Su of the Dragon Kingdom happened to be someone who could reprimand them.
Not only did he hold a position of great authority, his strength was also unfathomable.
Not to mention that they needed his help now.
"Elder Su is right. This is entirely the consequence of us shortsighted people bringing it upon ourselves."
One of the family heads was able to bend and stretch. Though furious inwardly, he still stepped forward to admit his mistake.
Then, shifting the subject, he said with a smile, "Now that we have admitted our mistakes, why not ask Elder Su to help persuade Ling Zhan to let our children return to the Demon-Slaying Legion?"
"We parents guarantee that nothing like this will ever happen again!"
"Once our children head onto the battlefield in the future, they will leave their fate to Heaven and never again decide to leave the legion because of danger!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The other family heads immediately chimed in.
"Yes, yes, we have realized our mistakes. We beg Elder Su to put in a good word for us."
"On the battlefield from now on, my child will charge through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Feel free to assign any difficult mission!"
Each of the family heads pounded their chests as they made their guarantees.
