Chapter 3100 Kneel Before The Enemy
Everyone readily accepted the suggestion; just the thought of it made them giddy with glee.
It would be exhilarating to see their enemy—who hated them to the core—kneel on the ground, kowtow, and swear that they would not seek revenge.
“About that…”
The expressions of every Hydron member darkened instantly upon hearing Idrae’s proposal.
This is blatant humiliation! They are trampling our dignity underfoot!
Most importantly, Idrae was their sworn enemy.
Each Hydron member held a deep grudge for Idrae.
The act of bowing down in subservience to their insufferable enemy was simply unacceptable.
All seven decision-makers were between a rock and a hard place.
Their families had died at the hands of Idrae, so it was impossible to remain unruffled by the audacious request.
Kowtowing would be preposterous.
Their confidence began to waver.
The five people who had invited Levi to join Hydron were particularly hesitant.
Flashbacks of when they had ridiculed Levi for being a coward ran through their minds. They recalled how they had accused Levi of being a bad father and a sorry excuse of a man because he refused to seek revenge.
The irony was not lost on them now that they were moments away from kneeling before Idrae.
Though they had no choice but to submit to Idrae, they could not seem to will their knees to bend.
For some unknown reason, Levi’s face resurfaced in their minds, and their ears rang with their taunts toward Levi.
“Are you too scared to face Idrae?” they had mocked.
Aren’t we in the same situation now? Idrae is right in front of us, yet not only are we not retaliating, but we have to grovel at their feet!
As for the people who were determined to avenge their families, vowing to back off was out of the question, let alone kowtowing to Idrae.
Titanius scanned the crowd and remarked, “All of you promised that you wouldn’t fight back, yet you’re still on your feet! It seems to me that you still want to seek revenge after all! Seize them!”
At the sound of his order, the seven decision-makers frantically yelled, “We’ll prove it to you!”
Their descendants, including the five people who had invited Levi, quickly followed their lead and chorused, “Yes, we will!”
Their submission riled up the rest of the group.
Are these b*stards really going to kneel?
“How dare you? How dare you kneel before Idrae?”
“You can bow to anyone except Idrae!”
“Your ancestors will turn in their graves if they knew of this!”
“You’re being played by our enemies! Do you have no conscience at all?”
Panic gripped the crowd’s hearts as they vociferated their displeasure.
Unfortunately, the decision-makers paid them no heed as they fell to their knees.
“You! You are an absolute disgrace!” Agent 8 bellowed.
With one simple action, the decision-makers had thrown away all their honor.
Idrae burst into raucous laughter as they watched the scene unfold.
Triumph bubbled up within them.
Their formidable power had rendered their enemies to their knees.
“Everyone, kneel!” the decision-makers urged the rest of Hydron to follow suit.
Clenching their jaws in distaste, the five people who had mocked Levi dropped to their knees.
“Everyone, down! What are you waiting for?”
They, too, prompted the rest to kneel.
Thump! Thump!
Soon, more and more people got down to their knees.
The number of people standing quickly reduced as the members of Hydron knelt before their enemies, one after another.
In this moment, all dignity was cast aside.
Agent 8, who was hell-bent on seeking revenge, felt his heart drop to his feet.
He squeezed his eyes shut, his face twisted in an awful grimace.
Humiliation! Utter humiliation!
In the end, tens of thousands of people present on the island had fallen to their knees.
A measly group of seven thousand remained standing with Agent 8, refusing to surrender.
“Cowards! You’re all cowards!” Agent 8 rasped, his voice cracking with emotion.
He was livid.
It was humiliation of the worst degree.
Among those who were kneeling, many appeared nonchalant, as if they were unashamed of their subjugation.
Idrae threw their heads back in maniacal laughter.
Their chortles were grating to the ears, taunting and sarcastic.
“What a bunch of pushovers!”
