68: Chapter 68 New Rules! Kneel down and call him Clan Chief if you want to live!

Jack's boast was mercilessly cut off by a single gesture from Qin Yu.

"My father is..."

"Wait."

Qin Yu's icy voice, carrying an undeniable magic, forced the words that were about to burst from Jack's lips to lodge firmly in his throat.

Qin Yu didn't even deign to look at him directly.

He merely gave a slight upward tilt of his chin towards the vast, newly cleared open ground to the east of the camp.

It was a gesture filled with contempt and disdain.

Jack's expression froze, a surge of anger at being slighted rising in his heart.

But he still suppressed his rage and looked in the direction Qin Yu indicated.

One glance.

All expression instantly solidified on his face!

His pupils contracted violently with utter shock!

There, on the ground illuminated brightly by firelight, over a hundred tall, powerfully muscled Bloodtooth Tribe savages were kneeling in a dense, dark mass!

They were arranged in neat rows, hands clasped behind their heads, foreheads pressed firmly against the cold ground.

Not a single one dared to look up!

Not a single one dared to make a sound!

The entire scene was terrifyingly silent!

And surrounding them, patrolling back and forth, were fewer than ten female warriors of the Dragon God Tribe, clad in fine leather armor and wielding sharp spears.

The girls' faces held a coldness and lethality completely at odds with their age.

They looked at the kneeling savages with eyes that regarded them like livestock that had lost all will to resist, ready for slaughter.

Over a hundred fierce savages!

Completely subdued... by fewer than ten women!

This... this was a level of terrifying dominance beyond belief!

Jack's mind went blank!

Just moments ago, he had been thinking of how to use the strength of his eight adult men as bargaining chips in negotiations with Qin Yu.

But now it seemed...

It was nothing but a colossal joke!

His eight men couldn't compare to those hundred savages, and probably couldn't even defeat any one of those ten female warriors!

Cold sweat instantly trickled down Jack's temple.

He finally, belatedly, realized something utterly terrifying.

In front of this man, the so-called 'wisdom of civilized people,' the so-called 'negotiation skills,' the so-called 'old-world background' he relied on, were all so utterly pale and powerless.

Just as his mind was reeling, Qin Yu's voice, cold as ten-thousand-year ice and devoid of any emotion, slowly sounded beside his ear.

"Here,"

"there are no friends, no cooperation."

Qin Yu finally turned his head, his deep, abyss-like eyes calmly settling on Jack's face.

Jack felt as if he had been pinned by the stare of a prehistoric behemoth!

A fear born from the depths of his soul made every hair on his body stand on end!

"There are only two kinds of people."

Qin Yu extended a finger, pointing towards Chen Xiao, who was cleaning her weapon not far away.

"My people."

Then, his finger pointed towards the huge corpse of Gulu, already dragged to a corner to be used as fertilizer.

"And the dead."

Simple.

Direct.

Yet filled with the most extreme, most bloody, tyranny!

Jack's face turned as pale as paper in an instant!

His lips trembled, unable to accept this cruel reality.

"What... What are you talking about? We're civilized people! You can't just..."

His voice grew shrill with fear!

Yet, his words were cut off again!

Qin Yu slowly took a step forward.

Boom!

An invisible, tangible, terrifying pressure erupted from Qin Yu's body!

Jack felt as if an invisible mountain was crashing down upon him!

His legs went weak, and his body uncontrollably stumbled backward several steps before he barely managed to keep from collapsing!

"If you want to live,"

Qin Yu's voice whispered in his ear like a demon's.

"then be like them."

Qin Yu's finger pointed once more towards the kneeling Bloodtooth Tribe captives.

"Kneel."

"Call me Chief."

"Then, become the lowest laborers in my Dragon God Tribe."

"Every day, you will be responsible for mining, logging, cleaning waste, using your sweat and labor to earn the most basic food and water to survive."

Each of Qin Yu's words hammered heavily on the hearts of Jack and the survivors behind him!

Shattering all the pride and dignity they had brought from civilized society into pieces!

"Either submit."

A flash of killing intent passed through Qin Yu's eyes!

"Or, right now, get out of my camp."

"Go back to that rainforest that could kill you at any moment and fend for yourselves."

"I give you ten seconds to choose."

The icy, final ultimatum was delivered!

The air seemed to freeze solid at that moment!

Jack and the seven men behind him all flushed red, fists clenched tightly, their eyes filled with humiliation, anger, and resentment!

Make them kneel like those savages?!

Make them become the lowest laborers?!

This was even more unbearable than killing them!

"You wish!"

A hot-tempered young white man finally couldn't hold back, roaring out!

"We are free American citizens! You have no right to treat us like this! This is a crime!"

However, what greeted him was Chen Xiao's icy, emotionless gaze and the slowly raised crossbow in her hand, gleaming with deadly cold light!

The young man, jolted by the cold killing intent, instantly shut his mouth, though his face still wore an expression of defiance and anger.

The ten-second countdown began.

Each second felt like a knife flaying these men's dignity.

Jack's mind was in turmoil!

Reason told him resistance meant certain death.

But emotionally, he couldn't accept that he, a proud son of privilege, had to kneel and pledge allegiance to a 'savage'!

Just as he was still hesitating, in the final moment before the ten seconds ended!

A sudden change occurred!

Thud!

A clear, crisp sound of knees hitting the ground rang out abruptly!

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound!

There, the young girl in the pink hoodie who had been trembling with fear earlier was actually the first to rush forward!

She knelt heavily before Qin Yu!

Her pretty face, still marked with tear stains, was now filled with resolve and a near-fanatical plea!

She looked up at Qin Yu, using all her strength, shouting hoarsely in broken Chinese:

"I'm willing! Chief! I'm willing to join your Tribe!"

"Please! Take me in! I'll do anything! I can wash clothes! Cook! I can learn anything!"

Her action was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up massive waves!

Jack and the men behind him stared dumbfounded at this 'betraying' girl, their eyes filled with disbelief!

However, this was only the beginning!

Thud!

Another woman made the same choice!

It was a voluptuous Latina woman. Without hesitation, she abandoned her still-hesitant boyfriend and knelt at Qin Yu's feet!

"I'm willing too! Great Chief! Please allow me to follow you!"

Thud! Thud!

The remaining three women, seeing this, hesitated for less than two seconds before making the same choice!

They saw clearly!

In this hellish world, so-called 'dignity' and 'freedom' were worthless!

Only by attaching oneself to the strong could one survive!

And the man before them was the one and only, absolute, strongest in this rainforest!

Within mere seconds, all five women knelt before Qin Yu, like the most devout believers gazing upon their new god!

Only the eight men remained, foolishly standing in place.

Jack's face turned from flushed red, to livid, and finally to a deathly pale!

He looked at the women who just moments ago had sworn to live and die together with him, now kneeling without hesitation at another man's feet, begging for his acceptance.

This scene shocked him even more than Qin Yu's single punch killing Gulu! It made him feel... despair!

He suddenly felt how laughable, how fragile, the 'civilization' and 'dignity' he clung to were.

Qin Yu's gaze swept slowly over the five women kneeling before him, then glanced at the eight pale-faced men.

The curve of his mouth grew even more amused.

He spoke again, his voice directed solely at the eight men.

"Now, it's your turn."

"Kneel, or..."

"Die?"
