Xu Cheng's tone was almost filled with contempt as he looked down at the old man. After he finished speaking, even though he was wearing a mask, everyone could feel the oppressive aura he exuded. Under that kind of aura, the entire place went silent. Even the old man was shocked by this kind of deterrence.
After a full ten seconds, the core member of the Squid Kingdom finally came over and pulled on the old man's arm, signaling him to stop being so forceful. They had lost this conversation!
They couldn't even get back at the member who was hung up and killed, so how could they continue the conversation?
However, the old man had fought countless opponents in his life, and he just wouldn't lose to this arrogant young man in front of him. He thought he must have lost to the young man's fearless mentality.
He looked at Xu Cheng and said, "Why? You clearly aren't greedy for power and wealth. Allowing us to establish a country and allow us to take away the wealth we should have, isn't it fine for you? You want to change the world, but you don't want to rule the world. Why are you stopping us? "
Xu Cheng: "I don't need it, but if the Squid Kingdom moves one-fifth of the world's wealth to your Squid Kingdom, wouldn't the world be in chaos? You also know that my brothers are the leaders of all forces. What you are doing is equivalent to losing their interests. If I can't guarantee their interests, how can I guarantee that they will work for me? You are a smart person. Try and see who will still support you as the leader after we infringe on the interests of your nation. "
"You really want to start this holy war, right?" The old man pointed at Xu Cheng and roared, "Do the people around you and these pieces of trash dare to take our revenge? Let me tell you, if we can't restore our country, we are willing to do anything, unless you can make us disappear in one night! Otherwise, even if you aren't afraid, the people around you are, and you have the confidence that these people will try to kill you behind your back in order not to start a holy war? Let me tell you, for the sake of benefits, there are people who aren't afraid of death! In this world, you're not the only crazy people. "
With their wealth, a third war was possible. If they triggered a series of crazy explosions and destruction all over the world, even if Xu Cheng was willing to accept their challenge, the other countries wouldn't. At that time, the one being held hostage by public opinion would be Xu Cheng himself.
Once more than half of the countries in the world disagreed with the actions of the superpowers playing with fire, then they could only compromise to convince Xu Cheng. At that time, Xu Cheng would be the one who ignited the war, and he would be roasted on the rack.
And if Xu Cheng continued to be stubborn at that time, it would be very difficult for these countries to cooperate with his plan.
Xu Cheng looked at the old man's face full of fighting spirit, and he directly looked at the core members behind him. He looked at one of the old man's right-hand men and asked, "Then, are you guys willing to go crazy with this old guy? He's already so old, and he'll probably be buried in peace in a few years' time. With the glorious background of restoring his country, he will forever be worshipped by the Squids. He doesn't care, and the people playing his role have to bring out the spirit of not being afraid of death. His sacrifice will only bring him benefits. But are you guys the same? Whether you guys live or die, others will only remember him as the leader of the revolution, but they won't remember you guys. You want to restore your country to give your people a sense of belonging and unity, and you want to restore the glory of the Squids' independent bloodline. But now, your people aren't doing too bad, and they're even at the top in every field. But because of you guys, you have to give up the beautiful life you have now, and you even brought them to destruction. Do you think you guys are right or wrong? I think this old man has forgotten his purpose and roots. "
Those core members of the Squids were all stunned by Xu Cheng's words. Just as he said, they had all analyzed the situation, but they were surprised that Xu Cheng seemed to have seen things more clearly than them.
For such a scheming person, everything he had today really wasn't due to luck.
Xu Cheng was right. Their current lives were already very successful, but it was precisely because they had everything that they lacked a great contribution to the restoration of their nation. So, these aristocrats who had nothing better to do decided to use their status, power, and wealth to do something difficult. However, they didn't expect the price to be so high, to the point that it would destroy everything they had and their entire nation, and they would be spurned by all of humanity. So, at this moment, they were a little hesitant.
Xu Cheng looked at the old man's right-hand men and smiled. "How about this, my conditions are still valid. I will allow you guys to restore your country, and I can also allow every Squid in the world to return to your country and smoothly become naturalized citizens. But, all their patents and wealth in their original country will be returned to that country along with the removal of their household registration. If you guys are willing to restore your country, you can talk to me. Also, I want this old man's life!"
The old man angrily said, "Don't try to drive a wedge between us."
"You are too harsh and arrogant. Maybe they are easier to satisfy. Maybe you are not willing, but what if they are willing?" Xu Cheng sneered. "I don't want to kill anymore people today. I will count to five. If you don't leave now, then no one will be able to leave. Stay here forever!" As Xu Cheng spoke, he turned around and walked up the stairs.
He counted down each step. "One!"
The old man stood in place, and at this moment, someone pulled him back.
Xu Cheng walked up another step. "Two!"
The old man was still pulling him back. At this moment, some rich Europeans couldn't bear to see a holy war break out and tried to persuade, "Old man, the weapons in your hands are useless against him. You guys can kidnap the government and criticize anyone from the moral high ground, but he can't. He won't even give face to the pope. Just give up."
The old man stared at Xu Cheng, unmoved.
“3!”
At this moment, the core members of the Squids also became anxious and quickly came over to pull the old man back.
"Let's go, Sir! He's harder to deal with than we thought! "
The old man was pulled back two or three steps, but he still gritted his teeth and roared, "What are you afraid of? At most, it will be a holy war. We also have nuclear bombs in our hands. Do you think our nation's scientists didn't keep an eye on other countries? Let me tell you, if they push us too far, we will all die together. Anyway, we stood up today, so there's no way back. If we can't restore our country and give them a home, they will be discriminated against by people all over the world. Since this is the case, I will leave my words here. I will give you a month to think about it. After a month, the holy war will come! "
After saying that, the Squids turned around and left.
But Xu Cheng suddenly interrupted them.
"Wait."
The old man thought he was regretting agreeing, so he turned around and looked at Xu Cheng with a hint of smugness. Who knew that Xu Cheng would point at the body of the lawyer not far away and say, "Take your trash away. Isn't that unity? How could you forget about the body of your comrade? Didn't you guys come to take him back tonight? Then take him away and show him to your people. Tell them that if they continue to be stubborn, they will end up like him. "
The Squids were so angry that their faces turned green, but there was nothing they could do.
After they left, Stenson walked up to Xu Cheng and said in a low voice, "Boss, you didn't do anything today, so those members will more or less think that you are afraid of trouble."
"Then tell them to f * ck off." Xu Cheng said in disdain, "If it wasn't for the fact that I wanted to propose to Xiaoxue tonight, these people wouldn't be able to leave! Okay, about the proposal, are you ready? "
Stenson looked at Haber, and Haber faintly smiled. He walked over and secretly stuffed a box of rings into Xu Cheng's hand.
The ending was expected to be the day after tomorrow, so he would update more at once. It was mainly because he was busy preparing the new book, so his energy was limited.
