Chapter 377. I Don't Want to be the Leader
Sienna's words instantly caused the expressions of people present to change.
John's expression also changed slightly in an instant, but it quickly returned to normal.
"It seems like this young lady already knows a lot of things." John said with a smile.
Ezekiel and Anthony sighed at the same time.
This little girl was still too young.
She was at a disadvantage when dealing with an old fox like John.
Ezekiel immediately said, "These few days, the town has been spreading this kind of news. It's hard for us not to know. Sienna is also a curious person. She only came along when she heard that you guys are going to look for someone."
Ezekiel covered up for Sienna. Sienna immediately looked at him gratefully.
She was indeed too young.
John still looked at Sienna with a smile. "So this young lady is interested in going to take a look?"
Sienna did not dare to say anything. She turned to look at Ezekiel.
Ezekiel could not hide the smile in his eyes.
The first person his little thing thought of when something happened was him. He was very pleased.
Ezekiel nodded at Sienna, indicating that she could say whatever she wanted to say.
Sienna then mustered up her courage and said to John, "If you want us to participate, there must be a benefit, right? After all, this matter is very dangerous. Furthermore, I am not at ease letting my husband accompany you guys in danger."
Ezekiel was very satisfied with Sienna's answer and nodded approvingly.
John suddenly smiled and said, "Then, what benefits do you want? Why don't we give the position of leader to Mr. Reynolds? I think with Mr. Reynolds’s power and influence, a lot of things will be easier for us.”
Ezekiel waved his hand and said, "No, no, no! Mr. John, I am not suitable to be the leader. After all, I am an outsider. You cannot let an outsider, who doesn’t know anything, lead your exploration. That is a taboo! I won’t snatch away someone’s role! We are just here to join in the fun.”
Hearing Ezekiel say this, it was obvious that someone in the crowd heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that there were still many people watching this place.
"Then, did Mr. Reynolds agree to join us?" John was still staring at this question.
Ezekiel smiled. "Yes, yes, yes. But I have to make it clear that I don't listen to anyone's leadership. If anything goes wrong, we have to quit! After all, the first thing I have to do is ensure my wife's safety!"
John nodded instantly and said, "Of course. Mr. Reynolds, don't worry. We will ensure the safety of your wife."
Ezekiel waved his hand. "You don't have to worry about that. There are only a limited number of people going down. We can't waste all of them on us. I'll find someone to protect her myself. "
"Mr. Reynolds agreed to join us. He has given us a lot of confidence. Please come in." John invited a few people in with a smile.
Sienna followed Ezekiel in.
In a huge tent, everyone was sitting around a table.
The food was delivered from time to time, but no one was in the mood to eat or drink. They were all discussing something in a low voice.
Seeing Ezekiel come in, many people automatically stood up and greeted him.
Sienna saw clearly that these people's eyes were full of respect.
These people were mostly locals.
As long as they were locals, there was no one who did not know about Ezekiel.
After all, who did not fear for life?
Furthermore, what happened underground last time was really too strange.
Was it a coincidence or fate? It was hard to say.
Ezekiel picked an empty table and sat down with his group of people. Many people came over to greet him.
"Since Mr. Reynolds is coming, we can rest assured." Those people said, "We are willing to follow Mr. Reynolds's lead."
Ezekiel waved his hand. "No, I am just a spectator this time. I'm not involved in your business. I'm just going with you. I don't want any of the things inside!"
Sienna nodded.
The others looked regretful.
However, there were also some who heaved a sigh of relief.
It was always good to have one less person to share the loot.
At this moment, the people outside also came in one after another and found a seat to sit down.
John began to preside over this meeting and elect the leader of this event.
Because Ezekiel had clearly rejected the position of leader, the suspense fell on a few large teams.
In the end, John became the leader of this expedition.
Once the alliance was formed, everyone raised their cups to celebrate.
Sienna held her glass and asked Ezekiel in a low voice, "Are we really going to work together with them?"
Ezekiel's eyes flashed and he replied, "On the surface, it seems like moving together is enough."
Sienna raised her eyebrows and looked at Ezekiel. Although she was confused, she was not stupid. She knew she could not ask this question here.
Ezekiel understood Sienna's gaze. He reached out and pinched Sienna's palm to comfort her.
After the banquet ended, on the way back, Sienna could not wait to ask Ezekiel, "Do you have other thoughts?"
Ezekiel smiled faintly and reached out to stroke Sienna's head. He gently replied, "My dear Anna, you only need to remember one thing. No matter what I do, I will never hurt you. Everything I do is for you to be better and happier. I want to give you true absolute status and power. I want you to stand at the peak of your power and stand shoulder to shoulder with me. I want all other women know that they will never be able to surpass your existence.”
Sienna was clearly moved, but she still said, "You only know how to sweet-talk!"
"This is not sweet talk, it is from the bottom of my heart." Ezekiel smiled and said, "Father's grave is buried here. How could I allow those people to destroy the Fengshui here?"
"And then?" Sienna was really surprised now.
"No now and then. You just need to follow me behind. After playing enough, I will get someone to send you out safely." Ezekiel reached out and pinched Sienna's cheek. "As my woman, you only need to trust me. That is enough."1
