Everyone was stunned by Jiang Hao's confidence.
Guo Dundun gritted his teeth. "Brother Hao, since you're confident, I'll entrust these two hundred jin of flesh of mine to you. Live or die, I'll follow you forever!"

"No need. The fewer people who know about this, the better. I've already taken a risk by calling so many of you here."
The personnel in Gongsun Qianxun's and Liu Zhiwei's two departments numbered fewer than thirty thousand
