Because they were now like lambs to the slaughter, completely unable to escape the boss's grasp unless they could utterly kill him.

However, given the current situation, that was simply impossible.

At that moment, a middle-aged woman said, "Boss, he told us to do this. We didn't want to kill you. He was the only one who did anything; we didn't lay a hand on you."

Hearing this, the others immediately chimed in, "Yes, he told us to. Boss, if you want revenge, go after him, not us."

The man's expression grew even more unsightly. What was this all about?

He had killed the boss for everyone's sake, yet now these people were denying everything and pushing the blame onto him.

How ridiculous!

He shouldn't have acted earlier; he should have just let those people die.

The man glanced coldly at the crowd, snorted, and said, "You're all so naive. Do you think he'll let you off just because you say that? Stop daydreaming. He won't let any of you go; he'll kill you one by one."

As he spoke, he even laughed, as if he had foreseen the ending.

The boss looked at everyone with a smile, saying casually, "I'll give you a chance to live. Whoever kills this person, I'll spare their life and not pursue what happened earlier."

At first, everyone hesitated at what the boss said, but soon, they turned their hateful gazes toward that man.

To them, as long as there was a chance to live, who died didn't matter at all, and they wouldn't care about the other person's life.

After all, compared to their own lives, everything else could be abandoned.

Seeing that no one was acting, the boss directly threw a dagger on the ground and said again, "Use the dagger. This is your only chance. If you miss this opportunity, you won't get another one. Think carefully."

Everyone looked at each other. To survive, they broke through the last line of defense in their hearts and went to pick up the daggers.

Before long, the scene became quite chaotic.

They even started fighting to get the daggers.

Seeing the scene before him, Yuan Mu Ye shook his head helplessly. These people were truly insane!

He walked to the boss's side and calmly asked, "Boss, why are you doing this?"

The boss smiled, glanced at Yuan Mu Ye indifferently, and said, "Do you think these people deserve to live?"

Yuan Mu Ye didn't know how to answer his question for a moment. If he said they deserved to live, those people had attacked the boss earlier. If he said they didn't, they were just trying to survive from their point of view.

So this question was really hard to answer.

"So you want to kill everyone?" Yuan Mu Ye asked tentatively, wanting to know what the boss was thinking now.

The boss didn't answer his question, but just said, "You'll find out in a moment."

Yuan Mu Ye was even more curious. What exactly was the boss up to?

After a struggle, the dagger finally ended up in the hands of a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked relatively burly, and it seemed he was a bit fierce.

After he took the dagger, no one dared to approach him.

Although the boss told them to kill someone else, they were afraid the boss would suddenly change his mind, and even more afraid that the knife would end up on them.

The middle-aged man held the dagger tightly and looked at the boss, saying, "Are you sure that after I kill him, you'll let me go?"

The boss nodded and promised not to go back on his word.

Although the middle-aged man was still somewhat doubtful, there was no other way at the moment, so he could only do what the boss said.

That way, he might still have a chance to survive!

The middle-aged man immediately shifted his gaze to that man, his eyes as if he wanted to devour him.

Seeing this, that man panicked. He never expected that he would save them, only to become the first to die.

At this moment, he must have been unwilling.

"Are you sure you want to kill me?" Although the man was panicking, he didn't show it.

The more it was like this, the less he could panic.

"I'm sorry, if I don't kill you, none of us will survive," the middle-aged man said with a look of helplessness.

Killing wasn't his intention; it was completely out of desperation.

The man still wanted to say something, but the boss couldn't wait and said again, "Why are you talking so much nonsense to him? Just do it, kill him, and I'll let you go."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man stopped talking and walked over directly.

"Don't struggle, you might die a little more painlessly," the middle-aged man reminded him one last time.

Unfortunately, that man simply didn't want to die, so after hearing what the middle-aged man said, he sneered directly, looking at the middle-aged man with cold eyes, and said, "It's not certain who will die!"

Hearing these words, the middle-aged man was also stunned for a moment. Judging from the meaning of these words, the man was going to fight back!

The middle-aged man suddenly became a little scared, because he knew that the man wasn't an easy target. If he fought back, he might not be able to kill the man smoothly.

No, to be on the safe side, it was better to make full preparations.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man looked at the people next to him who didn't dare to approach him.

"Who will help me?"

Everyone was a little surprised, because they all thought that the middle-aged man could easily kill that man, so when they heard him say this, they were dumbfounded.

They were curious as to why the middle-aged man would do this.

"What are you doing?" someone asked.

The middle-aged man said with a dark face, "If you want to leave here alive, don't ask so many questions."

He naturally wouldn't say what he was really thinking, or else wouldn't others know that he wasn't confident?

Of course, everyone wanted to leave alive, and since there was this opportunity, they certainly didn't want to miss it.

"I'll help you."

"I'll help you too."

Soon, four or five men stood up.

Seeing this, the others also wanted to help, but there was no need for so many people.

"Three are enough!"

The middle-aged man selected three men who looked relatively strong, and then surrounded that man.

With the matter developing to this point, Yuan Mu Ye realized that something was wrong.

This was obviously problematic. The boss hadn't agreed to let the middle-aged man do this.

Now that the middle-aged man was acting on his own initiative, even if he killed that man, the boss probably wouldn't let them leave.

Yuan Mu Ye kindly reminded the middle-aged man, "Are you willing to share the chance to live with others?"

The middle-aged man still didn't know the seriousness of the matter, and thought that he was very noble, smiling and saying, "Of course I'm willing."

Seeing that he was so ungrateful, Yuan Mu Ye didn't say anything.

This kind of person really didn't deserve to live.

However, Yuan Mu Ye wasn't qualified to judge the man's actions either.

After speaking, the middle-aged man directly led the other three people to attack that man.
