Ridicule that was obviously not true was a joke. For example, if a beautiful woman was said to be ugly or a skinny person was said to be fat, the person being ridiculed would not get angry.
However, if the ridicule was true, it would be heart-wrenching.
If it was the kind of ridicule that was obviously true and original, it would be heart-wrenching.
Wu Tong's face turned pale.
It was impossible for him to feel ashamed. It would never happen. Therefore, Wu Tong's pale face was due to anger.
"You … Just you wait!"
Wu Tong said fiercely. Gao Qi was waiting for Wu Tong to say something threatening, but Wu Tong said with a ferocious expression, "Just you wait. Wait until I complete the second stage of genetic modification. I'll see what else you can say then!"
Gao Qi asked in confusion, "The second stage of genetic modification? This … Are genetic warriors divided into stages? "
Wu Tong did not answer, but Bernhard immediately said, "The second stage of genetic modification can strengthen or even regenerate certain organs or limbs. Ordinary people can't bear it, but genetic warriors can completely repair the body's defects."
Gao Qi suddenly understood. Then, he looked at Lord Tree awkwardly. After hesitating for a while, he finally could not help but say, "I'm sorry. Erm, do you want to castrate before growing it?"
Wu Tong was stunned. Then, he looked at Gao Qi and said seriously, "To be honest, I've never seen someone as shameless as you in all my life."
Lord Tree coughed twice and said loudly, "Let's get down to business. Let's get down to business."
After thinking for a while, as if he was thinking about what was important, Lord Tree said seriously, "Mr. Bernhard, please continue. Why did you hide the truth? How should we explain today's energy outburst to the world? Actually, I'm more concerned about the continuous energy outbursts. Does this mean that the third cataclysm has arrived? "
Lord Tree returned to normal. He seemed to have finally remembered Gao Qi's abnormality, so he continued, "Uncle Fire's power doesn't seem to be a superpower. Moreover, the core of both energy outbursts was in Morning Dawn City. This time, he fought earth-shatteringly and unleashed an energy outburst that even opened a spatial door. I won't believe it if you say it has nothing to do with him."
"Let me explain."
Gao Qi raised his hand and said sincerely, "First of all, this energy explosion was definitely not caused by me. I don't have that ability, because if I had the power to create a catastrophe, well, I won't explain anything to you."
Bernhard said, "Of course you weren't the one who opened the Spatial Gate. You don't need to tell me that. Right now, three of the five strongest people in the world are here. We know the pattern and characteristics of the Third Cataclysm, and I have the right to speak. At least for a while, we can control the direction of the entire world."
Grandpa Tree waved his hand and said, "Stop. I know what you're trying to do. You want to monopolize the news and cover up the news of the Third Cataclysm. If news of the Third Cataclysm gets out, your business will be ruined."
Bernhard shook his head, then he said seriously, "I'm sorry to interrupt you. What I meant was to publicize the news of the third cataclysm and spread panic."
Grandpa Tree was stunned for a moment. Then, he said in shock, "You just said that it wouldn't cause panic, and now you're saying that you want to create panic?"
Bernhard shook his head and said, "Let me correct you on two points. First, I was talking about how to publicize a piece of news that isn't very worrisome. Second, spreading panic is not the same as creating panic."
Grandpa Tree looked a little confused, and so did Gao Qi. He asked with a puzzled expression, "What do you mean?"
Bernhard smiled proudly and said, "It's simple. Announce to the public that a third energy explosion happened in Chaoxi City. The intensity is off the charts, but the specific reason is unknown."
Grandpa Tree just shook his head. Gao Qi's mind was already muddled. He really wanted to follow Bernhard's train of thought, but he realized that he could not understand the thoughts of a mad scientist at all.
Bernhard continued, "When the energy explosion happened, Grandpa Tree was sparring with Grandpa Huo of Chaoxi City. You guys destroyed the Spatial Gate and prevented the Third Cataclysm from happening."
Wu Tong could not help but say with a disdainful expression, "Which fool would believe such nonsense?"
Bernhard looked at Wu Tong and said, "Did the energy explosion just now cause the Spatial Gate to open?"
"Yes."
"Do you know the reason?"
Wu Tong shook his head.
Bernhard continued, "Grandpa Huo said that he prevented the Third Cataclysm from happening. Do you believe him?"
Wu Tong immediately said, "Pfft, only a ghost would believe that."
Bernhard looked at Gao Qi and said, "So is what you said true?"
Gao Qi hesitated. Then, he thought for a long time and finally said seriously, "At least … temporarily."
Bernhard nodded and said in a deep voice, "I choose to believe you. Then, is there anything wrong with us announcing this to the public?"
Grandpa Tree said with a confused expression, "That's the truth."
Bernhard said, "The main point is that we have to unify our statements. When I announce the news to the public, all of you will say the same thing, especially you, Grandpa Tree, because you're the authority."
Grandpa Tree said without hesitation, "That means we didn't do anything!"
"No, it's very important to unify our statements. When all of us say that there's no problem, everyone will think that there's really no problem. This way, we can prevent the various cities from wasting their limited resources on preparing for the Third Cataclysm."
Bernhard wanted to say more, but Gao Qi had a flash of inspiration. He immediately said, "I understand!"
Grandpa Tree immediately looked at Gao Qi.
Instead of believing the words of a mad scientist, Grandpa Tree was more willing to believe in Gao Qi.
Gao Qi looked at Bernhard and said in disbelief, "You don't believe that I stopped the Third Cataclysm at all. You're stopping Grandpa Tree from killing me!"
Bernhard was shocked, but Gao Qi continued, "You haven't thought about what to say at all. You're not the kind of person who's good at scheming, and you're not good at lying either. You're good at keeping silent!"
Bernhard took a step back. His usually old-fashioned and serious face was filled with shock.
Gao Qi took a step forward and continued to stare at Bernhard. "You're not a schemer, but you're a scientist. You know the core of my power, so you're rambling here and there. You're trying to talk about meaningless topics just to make the Third Cataclysm a reality. Or perhaps, you want the Third Cataclysm to come sooner!"
Bernhard could no longer remain calm. After sighing in German, he could not help but sigh. "You saw through me! Was my lie really so clumsy? "
Anna said in a low voice, "Yes, your performance was clumsy because you're really not a good liar."
