Chapter 876: Contest
Chu Tianjiang directly mentioned the key point, which surprised Becca a little.
"Lord Becca, you're not just here to kindly remind me to give my all in the next battle and do my best to win, right?" Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "If that's all there is to it, I thank you for your kindness, because even without your reminder, I will do my best to win and use victory to ensure Ali's status in the family and the interests of human civilization." ”
"You're direct."
"I'm a fighter, not a politician."
"Politicians?"
"Warriors talk about strength, while politicians play with words."
Becca was stunned for a moment, then laughed. Obviously, he didn't know what "politician" meant, and only understood it after Chu Tianjiang explained.
"Becca-sama......"
"It's just that you didn't confess."
"Confession?"
"There are some things that you seem to be trying to hide from me."
Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, revealing a look of great surprise.
"For example, there is a man named Delia who has come to you three times and has helped you a lot to get what you are now."
"Deria?"
"Why, you don't know who he is?"
"No, of course. It's just that I don't think there's any need for Lord Becca to worry about such a trivial matter. ”
"You think it's a trifle?"
"Delia wanted to take advantage of me, and I wasn't at his mercy. Even if it's not trivial, it's over. ”
"Really?"
"Lord Becca, you don't think I'd be stupid enough to make myself a tool in someone else's hands, would you?"
Becca was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a smile.
"That's right, Delia told me a few things, some of which are related to you. I also know why he came to me and offered help. It's a pity that he's nothing compared to Lord Becca. It would be stupid if I were on his side. ”
"So, you're smart?"
"Of course not, I believe that anyone with a little bit of brains should know that what Delia is doing will definitely not end well."
"So, you rejected him?"
"Unfortunately, I can't make a decision."
"Really?"
Chu Tianjiang let out a sigh and said, "Whether it's me, Ali, or human civilization, it's too weak. Maybe Becca won't think about strength, because you will always be the most powerful being in the family. The thing is, I have to think about it. If I reject Deria outright, I will be setting up a formidable enemy, and one that I cannot defeat now. ”
"So, you're trying to protect yourself?"
"Everything I do is for self-preservation."
Becca nodded thoughtfully and said, "You are indeed very smart, and you know how to use everything around you to make yourself stronger. ”
"There's no way around it. If I didn't even know this, it would have been doomed. ”
Becca smiled and said, "Thankfully, you didn't do anything stupid. ”
"Lord Becca, only the stupidest of them would be your enemy. If Delia forces me to choose a side, I'd rather be his enemy than yours. ”
"It's just that Delia didn't force you to take a stand."
"It only shows that he is not stupid."
"Really?"
"Forcing me to take a stand is tantamount to creating a new enemy. Even if this enemy isn't strong, it will have an impact on what he's doing, right? ”
Becca smiled again and said, "Unfortunately, you didn't make the right choice either. ”
"Lord Bekaa, if you say that, you're wronging me too much."
"What, am I wrong?"
"That's right, I didn't go to Delia because I didn't want to be your enemy. The question is, in front of you, what reason is there for a lowly being like me to demand more? ”
"You ......"
"In this huge family, there are countless members like Ali, and Lord Becca is the patriarch of the family, let alone me, I'm afraid even Ali is nothing in front of you. All I can count on is to make myself stronger through fighting, to use my strength to fight for my own interests, to help Ali, and to protect human civilization. If I had pinned my hopes on Lord Beka, then I would not have been able to have those extraordinary performances in the previous battles, let alone be taken seriously by Lord Beka. To put it simply, the reason why Lord Becca values me is not because of how high Ali's status is, nor how powerful the human civilization is, but because of the efforts I have made in the previous battles and the victories I have won. I have always believed that status is earned by one's own hard work, not by the charity of others. Perhaps, this is the nature of human civilization and the characteristics of human civilization. ”
Becca nodded thoughtfully, as if she understood what Chu Tianjiang meant.
"Of course, Lord Becca is the patriarch, representing justice and strictness, and will never favor any member of the family in internal issues."
"It's not favoritism."
Chu Tianjiang smiled reluctantly and did not answer this sentence.
"I've already said at the beginning, the battle selection within the family is just the beginning. For the sake of the whole family, we need a strong warrior, a warrior who can bring great victories to the family, keep the family alive in this new world, and gain more living space. Becca paused slightly, then added, "Your performance in battle convinces me that you are the fighter. ”
"Becca-sama......"
"It's not lifting you up, and I don't need to. If you weren't such a fighter, I wouldn't have come to you, let alone talk to you about these things. ”
Chu Tianjiang nodded and didn't say anything.
"Now I want to know Lu Dao, are you willing to bear this burden?"
"What do I get, or what are the benefits of doing it?"
Becca smiled and said, "You're very direct and refreshing. If you are able to be the ultimate winner, I will give you a satisfactory answer. ”
"Really?"
"It's not just you who get the benefits, but also Ali and the human civilization you care about the most."
"Is that a promise?"
"You should know that I don't need to make any promises to you, and you don't have any reason to doubt me."
Chu Tianjiang immediately frowned, and Becca said this, obviously warning him.
"You know very well that if the interests of the family are not guaranteed, let alone human civilization, the status and interests of you and Ali will not be guaranteed. Nominally, I'm asking you to be more valuable. In fact, this is your opportunity, and it is the best way for you to fight for your interests. ”
Chu Tianjiang smiled reluctantly, Becca's words were very unkind.
"You are a smart person, of course you know how to choose."
"So, I have to say yes?"
"There's no way you're going to refuse, are you?"
Chu Tianjiang let out a long breath and said, "That's right, I really can't refuse, and I also know what the consequences of refusal will be. ”
"It's good to understand."
"Just, has Lord Becca considered a situation?"
"What's the situation?"
"What if, I'm just saying what if." Chu Tianjiang paused a little and said, "If I can't get a clear answer from Lord Beka, which makes me hopeful for the future, and has enough reason to believe that Lord Becca will definitely not break his promise, it will definitely have an impact on my mood. It will have an impact on my performance in the fight, and even on the outcome of the fight. ”
"How are you feeling?"
"Anyway, we all have emotions, right?" Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "What I want to say is that if these factors affect the outcome of the battle, or even change the result, then it is obviously not only me who suffers losses, nor only Ali and human civilization. ”
Becca's brows jumped a few times, and he had already heard the meaning of Chu Tianjiang's words.
"There's no doubt that Lord Becca trusted me a lot and thought I could go far in the combat tryouts, which is why he came to me. If I disappoint Lord Beka......"
"The consequences can be very serious."
"It's true, but in a result like this, there will never be a real winner."
"You ......"
"Of course, even if I don't say these simple truths, Lord Becca will definitely understand."
Becca was furious, but he didn't let it out.
Chu Tianjiang looked very calm, he had already shown his hole cards to Becca, and clearly told Becca that if he did not get a promise with guaranteed value, the consequences would be unpredictable.
"What do you want?" Becca controlled her emotions and calmed down.
"A promise of real value."
"What promise?"
"Let human civilization use its own struggle to obtain benefits."
"You ......"
"Only then can I believe that any sacrifice I make in battle can bring tangible benefits to human civilization."
Becca was silent for a while before nodding slightly and saying, "I can give you this promise." ”
"Then, I will repay your promise with the results of the battle, and convince you that there was nothing wrong with choosing me, at least I am better than the other fighters."
"I hope so."
"Definitely."
Becca smiled reluctantly and said, "You should know that when you made this promise, the fate of human civilization was linked to your performance in battle. You should know that if you disappoint me, it's not just you who will pay the price. As for everything you care about, it will disappear with your failures and become insignificant cosmic dust. ”
"Lord Becca, we're all smart people, aren't we?"
"If you're smart, that's great." Becca stood up and said, "Remember that, and don't let me down in you. ”
Chu Tianjiang also stood up, bowed to Becca, and sent Becca away with human body language.
