Chapter 10 It's Too Late to Surrender
In the twenty-third century of this universe, no one takes the so-called royal specific title seriously, even if someone wants to name their child "Prince" or "Your Majesty", that is fine.
The special meaning of a title is not due to the special nature of the words that compose it, but to the power, wealth, social status, or power behind it......
When words like "Wangye" and "Baylor" were mentioned in the Qing Dynasty, and when such words were mentioned in New China, the things that came to people's minds and the feelings they felt in their hearts were completely different.
In the same way, on a planet where the federal system has been in place for more than 100 years, words such as "princess", "prince", and "earl" are bound to be less valued than "director", "director", or even "director".
Naturally, Sakaki and Sollid didn't take the name "Prince Masanai of the Mori Palace" to heart, even if they asked them to call Masako "Queen-sama", they didn't mind, because it didn't mean anything.
Masako herself understands this.
In fact, she hated the name......
If there is anyone in this world who cares about this so-called royal orthodox title, it is Masako's father.
This man named "Chonggong Lianren" claimed to be the "Emperor of Later Dongshan", and he even had a year name; Even though he is now terminally ill and lies on the hospital bed every day to rely on instruments to maintain his life, as long as his consciousness is still awake, I am afraid that he will never give up these things that seem like jokes to others.
The sense of superiority that human beings can get from bloodline is actually very strong, because wealth and power can be acquired through hard work, strength and knowledge can also be accumulated through exercise and learning, but the superiority from bloodline does not cost anything and can accompany it for life.
Here's why...... Geographical/racist people can never be completely eliminated, and at most they can be curbed by social pressure and rules.
That's why...... The rulers of those feudal dynasties in ancient times, whether they inherited the throne or not, had to make up some stories about their own pure blood or the gods descending to earth.
Chonggong Lianren is undoubtedly this kind of person, compared to the foundation he has laid in this life, he cares more about his own bloodline and his "royal tradition" can be passed on.
Unfortunately, he was unlucky, and at the age of twenty-two, he found out that he was infertile, and there was no treatment plan, which was a fatal blow to a person who valued the lineage.
But he didn't give up, he chose to wait while actively looking for a way...... Wait for the advancement of technology.
He even signed an agreement with a medical institution that if there was still no cure for his infertility in the world before he was forty-five years old, he was going to throw himself into the freezer and freeze it, and then thaw it when there was a way.
Perhaps fate was playing a joke on this man, but when he was forty-four years old, he received the news that a laboratory assistant in Sakurafu, who was still studying at university, had invented a special drug for his disease, and that medicine had achieved good results in animal experiments.
However, just as Chonggong was about to contact the young man's university, another piece of news poured cold water on him - the teaching assistant was wanted for conducting human experiments in secret from the ethics committee, and his whereabouts are unknown.
How could Chonggong Lian Ren give up this only life-saving straw for this reason? Fortunately...... At that time, the federal government was corrupt enough, and Lian Ren successfully obtained the experimental data left by the teaching assistant and the laboratory samples seized by the police through layers of connections and a little money.
Subsequently, Lian Ren hired a group of the world's top pharmaceutical authorities to help him study the formula left by the young man.
But...... It's not going well.
In the words of one authority: "While I may be inappropriate in saying this, I must admit that the wanted man who invented this recipe has a talent that none of us here combined." ”
When a scholar who no longer needs to prove himself says such a thing, it means that he has completely surrendered in terms of scholarship.
Of course, there is no way around it; Tony Stark could build a fist-sized ark reactor in a cave, but a large group of scientists of his time could only build a tank the size of a water tank in the lab, and it wouldn't work as well as the smaller one.
Lian Ren also knew that even if these people continued to study, they probably wouldn't be able to make the formula more perfect and safer, and he didn't have that much time to waste.
So, Lian Ren directly used the original recipe left by the teaching assistant......
He found a total of five expectant women, and only one of them succeeded in conceiving; Nine months later, Masako was born.
It was the happiest period of Lian Ren's life, and he loved this daughter like a pearl in his hand, and he couldn't wait to take care of her in a sterile environment, for fear that she would be hurt in the slightest.
What he didn't expect was that the joke that fate played with her was not over yet, but the laughter dragged on for a long time.
Sixteen years later, both Ryohito and Masako herself have come to realize that Masako's appearance has not changed much in the past few years, because she is in adolescence, and the gap between her and her peers has widened almost every year at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.
The faint uneasiness slowly turned into real worry and fear.
At the age of eighteen, the fact that her daughter's appearance remained at about thirteen was well understood, although she had to undergo several detailed full body examinations almost every year since she was born...... But there is no indication that such a thing will happen.
Even after the symptoms became clear, doctors could not give a practical explanation or solution, only guessing that she had some kind of "undetectable congenital chromosomal abnormality".
This year, Lian Ren was almost sixty-four years old, and at this time he had no possibility of leaving offspring.
It was from this year that he became paranoid...... He hoped that Masako could do everything possible to leave offspring in her lifetime, just like him.
But Masako is not the same as her father, not to mention that her body is not ready to have children at all, and the pressure she has borne in her not long life has also made her very disgusted with her so-called "royal blood", and she even feels that this is a curse that accompanies her family, and it is better to cut it off in her generation.
The conflict between father and daughter deepened day by day, until Lian Ren was seventy-five years old, when a sudden illness made him unable to do anything but think and speak (he couldn't eat, he could only infuse fluids, and he couldn't excrete consciously), which came to an end.
After that, Masako became the de facto controller and operator of the Shenwu Society.
On the bright side, the Jimbu Society uses the giant enterprise "Izumo Group" as a cover to open various businesses around the world with the gaming industry as the core; In the underworld, the Shenwu Society is recognized as the leader of all gambling circles, and Masako is also a legendary gambler.
Of course, this information ...... Except for the part related to Masako's appearance not growing up, the rest of the ones, Sakaki and Solid also know.
Only gamblers understand gamblers, and only gamblers can truly beat gamblers.
Today, Sakaki is here to defeat the "legend".
…………
"By the way, since I've already bet on the entire Shenwu Society, I'm sure you should come up with the corresponding bets, right?" On the way to the gambling place, Masako threw out this question, which was actually quite important, in a leisurely and casual tone.
"Sakura's House." And Sakaki replied to these three words almost without thinking.
This bet was not decided by him, but promised by Zilin himself before he came.
"Huh?" Masako's footsteps paused, "What do you mean by telling me the name of the place?" ”
"It means that if you win, not only do you not have to agree to our conditions, but in the near future, after the Reverse Cross has completed the Federation, Sakura's Mansion will be your family." Sakaki replied, "Considering your family background...... I think even your father would be interested in this bet. ”
"Huh...... You wait first. As soon as these words came out, Masako couldn't help but sneer, "You mean, you want to use something that doesn't belong to you at all to bet on something that I actually control?" She paused, "And, taking a step back, according to you, it seems that without the help of my Shenwu Society, you can still achieve great things?" ”
"That's right." Unexpectedly, Sakaki actually responded in a natural tone, "So now it's actually giving you a chance, if you are willing to cooperate...... We are more efficient in doing things, and every effort you make, the organization will not forget, and what you can get when the time comes...... It will be more than just one Sakurafu; And if you refuse, it won't affect us to achieve our goal, but in that case, we can't guarantee peaceful coexistence with you, in case the Shenwu Society gets in our way, you should also be mentally prepared. ”
"Hahaha......" Masako smiled more and continued in a sarcastic tone, "then according to you, this bet is not fair to you...... If I win, I don't have to take any risks, and I guarantee a Sakura House; Even if you lose...... It's a big deal to join you, and in the future, you will be rewarded for your merits and deeds, and you will be able to seal the territory. ”
"yes." Sakaki knew that the other party was talking the opposite, but he didn't waver in the slightest.
"What is it?" Seeing that this kid was so faceless and skinless, Masako looked like he was going to pull it to the end, so she immediately pulled down her face, "After talking for a long time, this bet is all based on the fact that you will definitely be able to overthrow the federation in the future, this kind of pie-style bet is not good...... Woe to Sakaki! ”
When she finished speaking, she simply turned around, as if she had no intention of continuing to the gambling place.
"Okay, okay, if you want something substantial, don't worry...... Some. Sakaki replied.
"Oh?" Masako was already a little impatient, "What is it?" ”
"I don't know." Sakaki's answer once again seemed very nonsensical.
Finally, Masako got angry, she kept her face calm and began to walk back, just as she was about to let the bodyguards who followed behind "send off", the mobile phone in the arms of one of the bodyguards suddenly rang.
This mobile phone is obviously not the bodyguard's personal belongings, if it is, with the article "carrying a personal communication device during working hours", his job will be smashed; This is actually a "direct line phone", and there is only one person who can turn on this mobile phone......
"Miss Masako, the call from the master." Two seconds later, the bodyguard respectfully stepped forward and held the phone in front of Masako with both hands.
By the way, the titles of "Miss" and "Master" were specially changed by Masako's subordinates; When her father was in power, his subordinates were strictly required to perform various royal gifts on themselves in private, and they used the honorific title of "His Majesty the Emperor".
This sudden, well-timed call made Masako feel a little strange; Sakaki and Sollid looked at each other, tacitly acknowledging something they both knew.
Masako took a bit of a long time to answer the call, and there seemed to be an argument with her father in the process, but in the end, she compromised despite her annoyance.
"What did you promise him?" After Masako hung up the phone, she turned around and said this to Sakaki and Sollid in a questioning manner.
"Didn't I just say that?" I don't know, 'Ah. Sakaki shrugged back.
At this time, Masako came back to her senses, and only then did Sakaki really mean that sentence.
"The people up above don't tell us everything...... Solid said, "but we do know before we come that someone will go and negotiate with your father and give him some more 'practical' bargaining chips, after all...... As long as he doesn't breathe for a day, he will still be the 'Emperor Taishang' of the Shenwu Society. ”
Masako took a few seconds to calm down, and after calming down again, she continued, "Since you can do this, is it necessary to bet with me?" ”
"Yes." Sakaki continued, "At the end of the day...... After the cooperative relationship is established, you will still be the leader of the Shenwu Society who will really deal with us. He pretended to be light-hearted, "So, getting your father to nod is only one thing, and it is also necessary to make you 'convinced' yourself." ”
Before he could finish speaking, Solid added, "You don't have to worry about using your father to put pressure on you after we lose, because ...... Win or lose, the terms of your offer to your father will be given, and we will only make a deal with him to 'ask you to take the gamble'. ”
"Hmph......" Masako nodded, with a hint of anger and anticipation between her eyebrows, "It seems...... You think that as long as I'm willing to gamble, you won't lose, right? ”
"Yes." When it comes to gambling, Sakaki's attitude has always been very arrogant.
"You don't even know what I'm going to bet with you, where to bet, and how to bet...... None of you! Know! Road! Although Masako was more than a head shorter than Sakaki, she still forced over with full aura, looked up at the other party, and said in a sharp voice, "So you dare to say 'yes'?" ”
Instead of being overwhelmed by this momentum, Sakaki showed a firmer and more relaxed demeanor, repeating the word: "Yes." ”
