The Third Elder and Fourth Elder now realized how dangerous their current situation was. If Ye Fan wanted them dead, then there was really no hope of escape. With the Shadow Guard already sent to kill them, how could there be any chance of survival?

From the looks of the situation, this was a death trap planned by Ye Fan and Fire Phoenix. First, they obliterated the Ghost Squad and the Hunting Team, and next, it was their turn. This killing game was terrifying indeed.

"What do we do now?" The Third Elder looked at the Fourth Elder, completely at a loss and unsure of what to do.

"What else can we do? There’s no way out other than death. Escaping is unrealistic. We have no hope of escaping from the Shadow Guard with the little power we have here." The Fourth Elder laughed bitterly.

"The Fourth Elder understands the situation well, knowing certain death is inevitable. He’s right, just wait for your end. I won’t make a move to kill you; I’ll let the Shadow Guard take your lives." Ye Fan said with a cruel smile.

"Mr. Ye, let’s talk this over. If there’s anything you need from us, we would do our utmost, risking life and limb. Please, spare us from this fight." The Third Elder pleaded, immediately changing his tone, filled with respect for Ye Fan. In the face of life and death, it’s better to live if possible.

If there’s a sliver of hope, the Third Elder will fight for it; it’s inevitable.

The crisis that Sky Net faces is so severe that recovery seems impossible. One misstep, and Sky Net might really face obliteration.

At this moment, the Third Elder could only think about his own survival. The fate of Sky Net wasn’t as important.

"Mr. Ye, if possible, we are willing to contribute our strength. Things have come to this, and surely your next step is to deal with Sky Net. If you need us, we’re willing to serve." The Fourth Elder said earnestly.

"Honestly, you’re of no use to me. The location of Sky Net Headquarters isn’t a secret, so you have no value to me." Ye Fan said truthfully: "If you had thought of joining me from the start, I wouldn’t have let you die. It’s a pity you didn’t have faith in me, dismissing me, only to delight in The Terminator becoming a subject of coercion. Confidently, you believed Sky Net could dominate the Underworld, treating me with such contempt."

"Why now, in the end, do you beg for your life?"

"In fact, you understand well that with me, you truly have no value."

"If you joined me against Sky Net, there’s a chance you’d stab me in the back. I can’t use or trust someone like you with such fickle loyalty."

Ye Fan made it clear, watching as the Third Elder and Fourth Elder sank into despair, a result he was pleased to see.

"I have value; I’m not worthless. I can lead you into Sky Net’s headquarters, and I have some people at my disposal." The Third Elder tried his best to show his worth.

"That kind of value is trivial to me, negligible." Ye Fan said indifferently.

"The entire Underworld knows Ye Fan, Fire Phoenix, and Butcher as independent forces. Until today, I didn’t realize it might not be so." The Fourth Elder said bitterly: "If you could ally with Fire Phoenix, perhaps with the same intention, then maybe Butcher is also allied with you. In that case, you’re unified. Imagine the strength of The Terminator, Fire Phoenix, and Butcher combined with the Shadow Guard and other subordinates—it’s unimaginably terrifying. That might easily obliterate Sky Net Organization; why would you need our minor strength?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Maybe he made a deal with Fire Phoenix, but how could Fire Phoenix and Butcher share his intent? It’s absolutely impossible; the Underworld wouldn’t believe such a possibility." The Third Elder refuted.

"It seems Fourth Elder has a unique perspective. Indeed, Fire Phoenix and Butcher have never betrayed me. Soon we will march on Sky Net Headquarters. Eliminating the remaining Sky Net forces will be a breeze; the Ghost Squad is dead, the major Hunting Teams destroyed. Sky Net Organization no longer has the foundation to support itself, and its demise is certain." Ye Fan said calmly, resolving a doubt in the Third Elder and Fourth Elder’s hearts.

"The Terminator, worthy of being The Terminator, how could he let anyone coerce him? Turns out, he painstakingly orchestrated such a massive killing game, truly a well-thought-out plan." The Third Elder said with a grim smile.

"It turns out our death is just the beginning; the extinction of Sky Net is the end. We have nothing worth mentioning. Back then, when Sky Net coerced you, I fear you had planned it long ago. Pretending to be coerced, you searched for the hostage’s whereabouts while using Sky Net to eliminate the Deceitful Fox. Now, with the hostage nearly rescued and the Deceitful Fox dead, it’s time to destroy the Sky Net Organization. Once Sky Net is removed from the Underworld, and after the Deceitful Fox’s death, the remaining God Organization, the entire Underworld, will be yours. From now on, no power can challenge you." The Fourth Elder understood this reasoning and realized why Ye Fan was determined to swallow up Sky Net.

"You’re overthinking it. If Sky Net hadn’t provoked me, I wouldn’t be here now, and Sky Net wouldn’t be in its current peril. It’s all self-inflicted." Ye Fan said.

The Third Elder and Fourth Elder voluntarily distanced themselves from Ye Fan, gathering together, staying alert in all directions.

At this point, there was nothing more to discuss with Ye Fan.

Ye Fan had no intention of personally killing the Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and others. He would wait for the Shadow Guard to deal with them.

"The Shadow Guard has broken in; surely we have no chance to escape?" The Third Elder was unwilling.

"Ye Fan disdains taking action against us, so our enemy now is the Shadow Guard." The Fourth Elder said.

"Can we, with our people, be sure of capturing Ye Fan?" The Third Elder sought affirmation.

"Haha!" The Fourth Elder laughed strangely.

"No!" Twain and Green, among others, shook their heads firmly.
