Wu Shuhang spoke quickly, eximing, “I can hear you, Grandpa. What do you need from me?”


    Jadiel replied, “I called to ry the Lord’smand to both of you.”


    Wu Shuhang’s face went pale, and he urgently asked, “Grandpa, please tell me! I’m ready to listen!”<fn771b> Discover more novels at Find?Novel</fn771b>


    Jadiel took a moment before speaking slowly, “Shuhang, the Lord has decreed that the three elders are to sever your left hand as punishment for your inadequate performance and the loss of the Moro garrison. The Lord believes you acted without malice, which is why he has chosen not to execute you. Do you understand this act of mercy?”


    Wu Shuhang, without any hesitation, responded, “Grandpa, I truly appreciate the Lord’s mercy. I promise to dedicate myself to serving him loyally from now on!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Jadiel sighed softly and continued, “Shuhang, the Lord has issued another directive. Since your left hand will be removed by hismand, the three elders n to use the Remodeling Pill to regenerate your left hand and then cruelly sever your right hand instead. This scheme is designed to instigate conflict within the Wu family and create instability. Thus, the Lord has specifically ordered General Andre to ensure your left hand is removed immediately. The incident involving the Remodeling Pill must remain between you two; leaking this information to anyone else will be considered treason and rebellion, punishable by severe consequences.”


    Upon hearing this, Wu Shuhang felt utterly devastated and cried out to Jadiel on the video call, “Grandpa, I only have my left hand left! If it’s taken from me as well, what reason do I have to continue living?”


    Andre, who was present, was equally horrified. He had never anticipated that Wu Shuhang, having already lost his right hand, would now face the prospect of losing his left. If the order stood, he would be left with no hands at all, a fate that seemed unimaginable.


    In the video, Jadiel spoke with a heavy heart, “Shuhang, this is the Lord’smand, and I am powerless to change it.”


    Wu Shuhang pleaded, “Grandpa, please speak a kind word on my behalf to the Lord. If I lose both hands and return to the Right Army Governor’s Mansion, I fear I will be the subject of ridicule and scorn. It would hinder my ability to lead effectively, which isn’t good for the Governor’s Mansion!”


    Jadiel pressed his lips together and said, “Shuhang, the Lord has made further decisions regarding personnel at the Right Army Governor’s Mansion. Once your left hand is severed, I will inform my brother, the Right Army Governor. An order has been issued for your brother, Wu Shuhan, to take over immediately. The Lord has granted you leniency, allowing you to return to your family. Your brother will be instructed to take special care of you and your family, ensuring you all livefortably without worries about food or shelter.”


    At this point, Jadiel added, “Shuhang, this is the best oue you could hope for. Just remember, your brother’s situation is far worse than yours.”


    Wu Shuhang felt utterly hopeless at that moment.


    His gaze became vacant, his demeanor stiff, and he remained silent for what felt like an eternity.


    After several moments, he lowered his head, wiping away tears with his left hand. He nced at his remaining hand and murmured, “Though the Lord has spared my life, I will be renderedpletely useless from now on. I won’t be able to eat, dress myself, or even wipe my tears when I cry. I can’t even manage my own hygiene… At my height, it feels more like a death sentence to live like this…”


    Jadiel offered some counsel, “Shuhang, remember the saying: it’s better to live than to die. This holds true, so don’t entertain thoughts of ending it all. Furthermore, what good would dying do? Even in death, you would still lose your left hand. Its existence poses the greatest risk to both the Poqing Society and the Wu family!”
