"Thank you!"

"Thank you all!"

"Thank you, everyone!"

"Mr. Jiang, thank you so much!"

Jiang Chen and others landed beside Ma Qie'er and the others, and Sijia and several leaders gratefully spoke up.

Everyone remained silent, staring straight at Ma Qie'er.

Sijia and the others were momentarily stunned, showing a look of confusion.

Ma Qie'er trembled violently inside, his face instantly turning pale.

"Leader Ma Qie'er, don't you have anything to say?" Jiang Chen asked indifferently.

In mid-air, Dragon Saint glanced towards Jiang Chen and spoke loudly, "Everyone, I am Dragon Saint, Supervisor of the Flame Dragon Group of Flame Dragon Kingdom. Under Mr. Jiang's leadership, we have annihilated all the enemies and safeguarded your homes; you can return now, but unfortunately, some buildings were destroyed during the battle, for which we express deep regret!"

"No problem!"

"It's not your fault! It's those devils who did it!"

"Thank you, Dragon Saint! Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"

"Thank you, gentlemen. Mr. Jiang, could you say a few words?"

"Mr. Jiang, please say a few words!"

Millions of people's calls filled the skies over the southern suburbs, and those nearby looked towards the direction where Jiang Chen stood.

"Mr. Jiang, you see how enthusiastic everyone is, why not say a few words!" Sijia sensed something was wrong and spoke with an embarrassed smile.

Jiang Chen ignored Sijia and continued staring straight at Ma Qie'er.

Whew!

Ma Qie'er let out a long breath, his figure suddenly stooping.

Thump!

With a dull thud, Ma Qie'er knelt before Jiang Chen and the others.

"Leader Ma Qie'er!"

"Leader!"

Sijia and the others' expressions changed dramatically, calling out hastily.

Swish swish swish!

Jiang Chen's figure flashed, leaping onto a nearby car roof, avoiding Ma Qie'er's kneeling, the Pope and others also avoided.

Ma Qie'er paused momentarily, turning to look at Jiang Chen on the car roof.

"What's going on!?"

"What happened!?"

"The leader is kneeling to Mr. Jiang and the others!"

"Is this gratitude towards Mr. Jiang and the others?"

"Mr. Jiang and the others avoided it; they didn't accept it!"

The surrounding people were momentarily shocked and whispered among themselves; those in the rear who couldn't see asked, and those in front explained, and soon, nearly ten thousand surrounding people all knew the time Ma Qie'er knelt and Jiang Chen and others avoided.

"Leader Ma Qie'er, you are the leader of Aoli Country, representing the dignity of Aoli Country; I cannot accept your kneeling!"

Jiang Chen spoke sternly, "However, with your kneeling, I didn't help you up; do you know why?"

"Why?" Ma Qie'er asked in confusion.

Jiang Chen pointed directly in front of Ma Qie'er: "Look at the direction you are kneeling; what's there?"

Ma Qie'er raised his head to look, directly ahead was the crowd watching the drama.

"They are the people of Aoli Country, the foundation of Aoli Country. Your actions put us in a mortal crisis, but if we truly died at the hands of the enemy, who do you think would ultimately be more miserable?"

Jiang Chen pointed at the people, glaring at Ma Qie'er and spoke harshly, "We would only die, but after we die, what kind of situation will the people of Aoli Country fall into? The ones you have wronged the most aren't us; it's these people who pinned their hope on us, the ones who hoped for their homes to be reclaimed but were nearly turned back into victims because of you!"

"What?"

"Leader Ma Qie'er put Mr. Jiang and the others into danger?"

"What's going on!?"

"What did Leader Ma Qie'er do?!"

The surrounding people trembled in their hearts, all staring at Ma Qie'er kneeling there.

Sijia and several leaders felt a jolt in their hearts, furrowing their brows tightly, staring straight at Ma Qie'er; as leaders themselves, they seemed to have guessed what Ma Qie'er might have done.

"I'm sorry! Everyone, I'm sorry!"

Ma Qie'er suddenly realized, his heart trembled violently, his face turning deadly pale without a trace of blood, he kowtowed three times to the surrounding people.

"Leader Ma Qie'er, what have you done?"

"Ma Qie'er, what did you do to put Mr. Jiang and the others into difficulty?"

"Ma Qie'er, answer us!"

The crowd called out loudly.

"I wronged you all; I wronged Mr. Jiang and the others. I... I informed the enemy; I told the enemy the time Mr. Jiang and the others would arrive; I... I revealed all of Mr. Jiang and the others' plans to the enemy! I'm a scoundrel! I'm not human! I... I deserve to die!"

Ma Qie'er loudly confessed his actions, tears of regret streaming from his eyes.

"What!?"

"What the hell did you do!?"

"Scoundrel! You don't deserve to be our leader!"

"Mr. Jiang and the others helped us kill the demons and reclaim our homes, yet you betrayed them?"

"Ma Qie'er, you traitorous scoundrel! You deserve to die!"

"Beat him to death! Beat him to death!"

"Kill this scoundrel!"

The surrounding people raged, shouted, and rushed towards Ma Qie'er, intending to beat him to death!

The law enforcement officers and the military responsible for maintaining order were at a loss, face to face, not knowing what to do!

"As a soldier, I must protect you, but as a citizen of Aoli Country, I am ashamed of your actions!"

Sijia's face darkened; he glared at Ma Qie'er fiercely, then turned to the surrounding troops and shouted, "Block those people; everyone stays rational!"

"How rational? You bunch of..."

"Everyone listen to me!"

As people were about to scold again and even start a riot, Jiang Chen's voice sounded.

"I'm sorry!"

"Mr. Jiang, sorry!"

"Heroes, sorry! We, Aoli Country, apologize to you!"

"Sorry!"

The people loudly apologized, looking at Jiang Chen and others with eyes full of guilt.

Jiang Chen and the others came to save them, but their country's leader betrayed them and put them in danger, an unforgivable act for the people, who felt deep remorse for Jiang Chen and the others while hating Ma Qie'er.

"Everyone!"

Jiang Chen's figure flashed and leaped into the air.

The crowd instantly quieted, silently waiting for Jiang Chen's speech.

"Leader Ma Qie'er did this also for you! He was likely coerced by the enemy, who threatened your lives, which made him do it!"

Jiang Chen explained a bit for Ma Qie'er, then looked at Ma Qie'er below, speaking in a deep voice, "Ma Qie'er, your action, although starting with good intentions, you didn't fully understand that we are among Yuan Star's most powerful martial artists."

"If we die here, do you know what will happen? It will allow the enemy to have no rival and put all the people of Yuan Star into dire straits."

"Moreover, after we die, do you think the enemy will spare the people of Aoli Country?"

Ma Qie'er's face turned pale again; he hadn't thought this much, now realizing how foolish his action was!
