Terror arrived instantly, and the other party directly released a hostage, specifically, Jia Yun's wife. From her mouth, he learned that the other party had taken his children hostage. If he did not comply, these children would all be doomed.
Of course, he had two choices at this time. The first was to report the matter, that is, to seek help from the Imperial Decree Department, refusing to compromise with dark forces.
The second was to surrender. Since the other party had made it clear that even if he died, his entire family would certainly prosper in the future. The other party swore on their honor and told him that even if caught, he would not be sentenced to death, the coercion being only worth several decades. He was not worried about such things.
Thus, Jia Yun had no real choices left.
How could someone from the Demon-slaying Bureau report to the Imperial Decree Department? As a mere melon seller, could he sell immature melons to a customer?
