Until they left the room, these people were suddenly aware that their backs were soaked with cold sweat.
There was no other reason.
The pressure of facing the leader head-on was simply too immense.
The key issue was that Kong Xiangdong's actions were completely unpredictable.
At his best, like now, he was reasonable and very friendly.
But when he did explode, he was like a pure madman, killing over trivial matters.
One can imagine the kind of pressure someone would endure working under such a leader.
Yet despite this, there were still a lot of Sea Gatherers working under Kong Xiangdong, second only to the former Old Leader.
The reason was simple: even though Kong Xiangdong was violent and crazy, he exploited his subordinates the least.
Especially for those Sea Gatherers, as long as you paid your dues, Kong Xiangdong rarely bothered you.
And when trouble did arise, he would stand up for you without hesitation.
