The Military Advisor offered a huge reward for the lives of Ye Fan and Mengyao, but in the end, Arus and other culprits all perished.
Even the Swarm Mercenaries couldn't escape their fate.
Ye Fan did this for only one purpose: to establish his power, letting any petty troublemakers weigh their choices carefully, knowing that being his enemy leads to such an end.
Arus held powerful troops, but so what? He still ended up dead. The Swarm Mercenaries were just insignificant nobodies. Their overestimation of their own abilities led to death, not to mention people like George and Zia, who had no loyalty whatsoever.
Ye Fan controlled everything from behind the scenes. No one could know his role in it all. Doubts were inevitable, and such doubts were far scarier than the truth. The power he showed was enough to awe everyone.
Just the fact that Ye Fan could launch missiles was enough to terrify many to the core.
