Beijing.
In a hotel.
Xia He and Shen Chong returned to a presidential suite, looking slightly tired. As soon as they entered the room, they saw Liu Xiaojiang sitting on the sofa in the living room, letting Er Zhuang hold his arm intimately. He looked much more comfortable than his subordinates.
Shen Chong was obviously not surprised by this. After entering the room, he only greeted Liu Xiaojiang and Xia He, then returned to his own room to rest.
Xia He could not help but pout when she saw this. She did not know if she was envious of Er Zhuang's bold personality, or if she was reminded of the stubborn person in her heart.
"I say, Mr. Sect Leader …"
"We just destroyed the Truth-seeking Association, and the news has been successfully released. The company has also gathered the other Ten Great Ones. It's very likely that they are discussing how to deal with the All-Nature Demon in the future. At this time, you are still so relaxed … Is this really okay?"
"… How are the others?" Liu Xiaojiang took the opportunity to silently pull his arm out of Er Zhuang's embrace, causing the clingy woman beside him to be quite dissatisfied with this action.
"It's still the same …" Xia He found that Liu Xiaojiang seemed to be completely controlled by Er Zhuang. She could not help but find it interesting and slowly raised the corners of her mouth.
"Other than Mr. Ding, everyone is basically traveling together …"
"Old Xia and Granny have returned to the mountain of Liupanshui, but it seems that they are still in contact with Zhang Chulan and the others. Obviously, they are still unwilling to give up on investigating the Rootless Life."
"Also …"
"Granny's attitude towards Old Xia is still the same as before, but towards Feng Bao Bao, who is very likely to be a relative of the Rootless Life, she seems to be closer than to us …"
"Lu Liang and Tu Junfang are together. It seems that they are using the corpses they obtained to help study the long-lost cultivation methods of the Three Demons Sect …"
"As for the rest of the All-Nature Demon …"
At this point,
She looked at Liu Xiaojiang thoughtfully and said, "Did you already know that after we destroyed the Truth-seeking Association, those so-called righteous people outside … would immediately be so scared that they would curl up?"
"I guess so …" Liu Xiaojiang obviously didn't care about those so-called righteous people.
"Those fellows just want others to look at them in a different light. Quan Xing is an organization with a large number of members but no sect system. That's why they've gradually become unscrupulous. In any case, they won't suffer any kind of retaliation from Quan Xing."
"After all, in the eyes of the others, I, the Sect Leader, am not that important. The most important thing will always be themselves. Even if their fellow Sect members are killed, they will only worry about their own safety …"
"However, I'm still an all-rounded Sect Leader. Even if those guys are really just cannon fodder, they should still play a role in more important areas. Dying in the hands of those brainless idiots who want to take the opportunity to prove themselves isn't beneficial to my plan at all. That's why I helped them out."
"What happened to the Truth-seeking Association …"
"At the very least, it can make those so-called righteous people carefully consider whether their own lives are more important or those illusory things caused by desire are more important before the company and the Ten Leaders really take action. I believe most of them will come to the same conclusion."
"Survival is the foundation for the pursuit of all good things …"
"You're pushing them toward the company and the Ten Leaders …" Xia He said with a frown.
"Even though these so-called righteous people won't amount to much, they still have a certain degree of advantage in terms of numbers. Besides, the company and the Ten Leaders aren't weak to begin with …"
"If things are too simple, it'll still lack some fun …" Liu Xiaojiang obviously knew what Xia He meant. She was worried that they would encounter greater difficulties in the future, which would eventually cause the entire plan to be unable to proceed in an orderly manner.
"If it's an incomparably desperate situation right from the start, presumably even if the company and the Ten Leaders aren't willing to give up, the others will inevitably choose to go for broke."
"Give up on something like that …"
"Once a situation that makes people despair, it will spread at a terrifying speed and soon dispel more people's resistance against me. As a result … Humans will be considered crippled for a long time and perhaps the world will also turn into hell because of this."
"When that time comes, even if I don't do anything, they themselves … will be enough to destroy everything they've created."
Hearing this,
Xia He lowered her head and pondered for a moment, not fully understanding. Then, she looked up at Er Zhuang, who was sitting on the sofa with the same doubts as her, and said,
"The matter of the Truth-seeking Association has already made those who choose to act on their own and are unwilling to cooperate with the company and the Ten Leaders restrain themselves. So, what's the next step … What do you plan to do next?"
"… There's no hurry." Liu Xiaojiang smiled disapprovingly.
"I believe that after the company's leaders and the Ten Leaders understand everything that happened before the Truth-seeking Association, they will eventually choose to give up on their past disagreements and truly unite to face a terrifying and extreme monster like me."
"However, they know very well that relying only on the power of the Inhumans, even if they struggle in my hands, there's no way they can turn the situation around. So, they will definitely wait for the decision of the ordinary people above …"
"Now …"
"I'm guessing that either they plan to gather all the Ten Leaders in the area where the company's headquarters is, in case the Ten Leaders encounter a full-scale attack and are unable to provide timely support. They will try their best to ensure the safety of the Ten Leaders before the war."
"Or …"
"Under the current situation, they will make a decision that is completely irrational … but full of the glory of humanity. They will fully cooperate with each other's actions and strive to protect all the Inhumans who may become their strength in the future."
"And, even if it seems unreasonable …"
"But with Zhao Fangxu as the actual person in charge of the company, Lu Jin, the pure-hearted old man, and Lü Ci, who is already filled with fear of me … No, it should be said that she is full of fear of the extermination of her family … This seemingly irrational choice actually has the greatest possibility."
At this point …
He even showed a rare bright smile. "Even though I forced them to make a choice, human emotions have indeed surpassed rationality. You are all full of human emotions but also very complicated life forms."
"But to be able to make such a choice at the very end … I will choose to cooperate with you."
"So …"
"Since the Inhumans have met part of the requirements, then the next action … is naturally related to the ordinary people."
"You still want to go to such a dangerous place?" Xia He hesitated.
"This is necessary …" Liu Xiaojiang felt the force on his arm again. He couldn't help but lower his head and shake his head with a smile at Er Zhuang.
"After all, other than observing what the ordinary people will do, those two who left their homes and chose to follow me … I don't want to let them down."
