"Lin Fu."
The crowd swelled with excitement as they gathered around, but when they stood in front of Lin Fu, they hesitated, shoving each other without knowing what to say.
"Thank you for your concern."
Lin Fu broke the awkward silence first, smiling, "I also want to apologize to everyone; I'm sorry, it was my fault, I've dragged you all into this."
"Not at all."
"You did the right thing, Lin Fu."
"We support you; it should be like this."
The crowd erupted, each one clenching their fists in excitement.
Instead of blaming Lin Fu, their blood boiled with inspiration. As for the consequences? Ha! What outcome could be more shameful than being stripped of one's honor?
Elbert had reached a point where there was nothing left to lose.
On the contrary, Lin Fu's resolute refusal to kneel, to compromise, only garnered more admiration.
And her act of beheading sparked a true fervor.
Who dared to look down on them now?
Who dared to make them kneel?
