A round of praise erupted, and most people were genuinely grateful to Cao Xing.
Cao Xing nodded slowly, "Very well, I will now give you a choice."
"I know that among those present, there are many who do not wish to stay in my territory any longer."
"For those who wish to leave, you may express your desire now, and I will let you go."
Upon hearing this, thousands of territory members below looked at each other in confusion.
Many newcomers showed puzzled expressions, seemingly not understanding why anyone would want to leave such a well-treated territory.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent.
After waiting for about ten seconds, still, no one spoke up.
Cao Xing continued, "For those who want to leave, speak up soon; this is the last chance I am giving you."
"Let me make it clear, I have provided you with precious food and shelter, equivalent to a huge investment in you."
"If you do not step forward now and later wish to leave the territory."
