"What? Don't you trust your own strength, or don't you trust mine?" Chun Xiaobai glared at them.
"No, no!" They hastily shook their heads. If they said they weren't up to it now...
They had no doubt Chun Xiaobai would turn on them.
After all, even they wouldn't let anyone carry a secret like this out.
Lin Yue's face went pale again. This fellow actually wanted a girl like her to go robbing with him?
"Remember!" Chun Xiaobai's expression turned serious as he reminded them again. "No matter when or where, all you need to do is handle your own assignments!"
At this point, his voice suddenly hardened, and his gaze sharpened:
"If it isn't your business, don't spare it another glance or ask another question! If anyone's meddling hands bring danger down on us, then this Great King really won't go easy on you!"
Everyone stiffened, badly startled by the chilling expression on Chun Xiaobai's face.
They understood instantly. This wasn't just a warning-it was the ironclad rule their ten-person squad would live by from now on!
"Yes!"
Not daring to waste another word, they answered together in solemn voices.
Seeing this, Chun Xiaobai said no more.
These fellows were all novices, and their loyalty was far from secure.
Entrusting important matters to them was a cardinal taboo in his line of work.
Across the eight hundred li of mountain territory around his Black Wind Stronghold, ninety-nine percent of the strongholds had fallen because of internal traitors or the wrong people being put to work.
To build a professional crew, he would have to cultivate his people slowly and hone their skills over time.
He waved a hand, pulled a pile of things from his Storage Bag, and dumped them on the ground.
Clatter!
