Ling Chen smiled and replied, "That's possible..."
"Not possible!" Suddenly, an old voice rose from the crowd, carrying a hint of chill, "Without my permission, no one can leave."
Ling Chen followed the direction of the voice, only to see an elderly man with white hair, hands behind his back, walking briskly without the faltering steps typical of old age, carrying an aura of implicit authority. People around him stepped aside, bowing slightly, their faces full of respect.
Jiang Kun!
Jiang Family Patriarch.
The name immediately popped into Ling Chen's mind. Before taking action, he had already researched the members of the Jiang family, so he was clear about the elder's identity.
Thinking of what Jiang Kun had just said, Ling Chen's eyes narrowed, his expression turned solemn. With this old fellow's appearance, things might not be so easy to resolve.
