Chapter 783: The Lonely Man
In the face of the monster insects, the Destroyer leaked a greedy side.
It smashed the brains of one monster worm after another, dug out the glands, and devoured them.
As for the spitting attack, gnawing, and entanglement of the strange insects, it doesn't care about them at all, and its attributes make it perfect to restrain these strange insects, just like the cat and the mouse in the wilderness, the latter can't fight, and can't run away.
Kane also acquiesced in the Breaker's actions, and even withdrew the Butcher for this purpose, so as not to make the Breaker uncomfortable.
Of course, Kane didn't do nothing during the Destroyer's hunting spree, and compared to the previous two floors, the cave structure on this level was like flesh and bones, and it was a bit laborious to chew on the flesh and bones.
But there's still a lot of money, so it's worth the effort.
Kane reckoned that the butcher marked on the spot, and the nodes were finalized little by little, and then prepared for full devouring.
It was already past 4 a.m.
For ordinary people, after doing it for so long, they are already tired and sleepy, but here, from the protagonist to the audience, they are all in good spirits, as long as there is no large amount of consumption, they can always maintain their state, not to mention more than ten hours, ten days is not a problem.
It's just that it's also exhaustion, Kane's side is happy and a little nervous, and the audience is frightened and jealous.
A battle that should have been a lose-lose battle, but Kane played the painting style of exploring the tomb to find the treasure, which is naturally enviable but has to admit that it deserves it, after all, the strength is outstanding, and it is cautious enough, these characteristics are clearly presented.
Kane himself is also a little proud, he believes in the saying that 'good fighters have no outstanding achievements', the real win, is to be like now, a little surprise, but there is no danger, to achieve the goal in all directions, rather than to engage in twists and turns, or even dangers, and finally rely on luck to win, a total account of 1,000 enemy injuries, 800 self-losses.
But Kane also knows that everything is constantly changing. Including the so-called nine out of ten, it is also this time and that time. Like now, he completely offended the Atonement Sect and lifted the roof of this stronghold, so even if something happens in the future, he will have to bear it.
This is not only a matter of his own principles, but also an image establishment. No matter how big a hole you dare to poke, but you dare not do it, there is a cheap occupation, there is a danger of brushing the pot, whether it is an individual, or a force, the reputation is negative, no one will be willing to interact with this kind of person, this is unjust and helpless.
Even if it is a great evil, you have to have some shining points to be able to mix in the Tao, otherwise you will die quickly.
His thinking is not to rely on fists in everything, and his tactics are only reckless. Rather, it is necessary to pay attention to ways and means to a certain extent, and more specifically, to pull a faction and fight a faction, while showing off the muscles, while weighing and dividing the money, so that the goal can be quickly achieved at a small cost.
Because of this, he grabbed the Atonement Sent and beat him to death, but on the other side he appeared to be very lenient. For example, when dealing with Oliver who arrived in a hurry, he didn't put on a face, but had the same attitude as always.
On the contrary, Oliver, who has not yet practiced the thick black of the politician level, is a little cramped and embarrassed.
Kane sometimes likes to pretend to be a petty bourgeoisie, and in this case, he asked his subordinates to help him make up a table.
It's actually nothing, hot and cold dishes, and a pot of warm wine. But it's about 4 o'clock in the morning, and it's such a ghost place where birds don't, and the flavor of the food has to match Kane's preferences, which is a little difficult.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, what is even more difficult is the place to eat, and there is such a mood in such a background, which is really a bit pretending.
Kane wasn't that hungry, he just felt that the atmosphere was not good, terrifying, nervous, and so bitter and bitter and bitter and deeply depressed, he didn't like it very much, because it didn't match his true mood at the moment, even the cruel scenes that exceeded many people's imagination before, didn't make him so indignant, and he didn't want to bear the name of an alternative hero, that was not the character he prepared for himself.
"Would you like to have a bite to eat?"
"Thanks, no, helicopter, my stomach is still churning. ”
Kane didn't invite any more persuasion, got himself a glass of wine, then took out the chopsticks from the box, tasted the spicy fried veal, nodded, the fried is good, the freshness treatment is also good, authentic home cooking.
"Hengyuan and the vampires asked you to be a lobbyist?" Kane said, his chopsticks not stopping.
This is a bit disrespectful, but with his current compulsion, and the betrayal of Goliath represented by Oliver, there is nothing wrong with doing so, isn't there such a saying: face is given by others, and face is lost by oneself.
Oliver didn't care about this kind of detail at this time, in the name of ordinary people, he was distinguished and prominent, and the federal president had to be polite when he spoke to him, but in the family and organization, he was just a junior, and many times he couldn't help himself.
Like this time, he's the duck that gets caught on the shelf. Of course, the benefits are considerable, but the unpleasant feeling is also real.
"The lobbyist is a bit exaggerated, in fact, he is just a microphone, and Hengyuan will not want to fight. Oliver thought about it, and finally decided that it was better not to play any tricks and to speak bluntly. He also knows Kane a little bit, and knows that Kane likes dry content and a straightforward style.
Kane took a sip of the wine, then bared his teeth, the wine was a little bad, not the smell he wanted. It's better to drink the kind of wine you got from Lotzburg.
I changed the bottle of wine, poured myself a small glass, took a big sip, and then exhaled comfortably.
During this period, Oliver did not show any impatience.
As far as he is concerned, Kane is already a little flattered by Kane's willingness to talk to him calmly this time.
Oliver considers himself a smart man, and he knew from the beginning what his relationship with Kane was.
Of course, there are some feelings, but there are definitely not many. Throughout is the concept that 'strength determines status'. Before and after the first meeting, he looked at Kane with a top-down attitude.
Soon after, Kane used his strength to prove that he was not an ordinary investigator, but an extraordinary person who had awakened extraordinary power due to his high spiritual vision, and his strength was not bad and his skills were unique.
Such an identity deserves respect, and Oliver acknowledges it. But as far as the heart is concerned, there is still a condescending subconscious, after all, Kane is a wild man, and he is backed by his family, as well as the more powerful Celestial City-level transcendent force Goliath, with comprehensive advantages in channels, connections, resources, etc., and the starting point is far higher than Kane.
Of course, he is still willing to give in because he is optimistic about Kane's future. He believes that with Kane's ability and heart, as long as he doesn't die too badly, he will eventually have a way to become a supergeneration.
As for how long it will take to reach that status, it's hard to say.
The so-called Jiaohua Dragon, the wind is surging, then it is possible to take advantage of the situation.
On the contrary, the dragon is suppressed, relying on some small events to slowly accumulate and slowly climb.
By the time of the Sinoe Island incident, Oliver was in another state of mind.
At that time, the biggest feeling was that Kane kept one hand in doing things, but he didn't expect to be so strong.
Strong, and know how to forbear, do not appear indiscriminately and be at the forefront, but know how to quickly get authority when needed, become a decision-maker, and refuse to be led to rhythm, and have their own effective set in the face of difficulties.
These elements made Oliver realize that Kane was really a Jiao, and he was bound to turn into a dragon.
Later, Samuel, whom he respected, said the same thing after hearing about it, and Oliver was determined to make a strong friendship with Kane.
This is also the reason why he took the initiative to approach Kane that night and responded to Kane's plan in full as soon as possible.
The result was also rich, the entire second rescue operation, a fleet, only one ship was able to escape, that is, the destroyer Oscar they robbed, more than a hundred transcendents, only they escaped with their lives, just because they followed the right person.
Therefore, when the people of the family, or the people of Goliath, chanted to him about the 'friendship of life', he clearly realized that it was unclear about the truth, it was exploitation, and even murder with bad intentions.
If you really want to talk about his relationship with Kane, it is definitely that he owes the other party a lot, and he has saved his life more than once, as for the contribution of playing the green leaf during the period, Kane has already compensated with rich benefits afterwards. The stinging and those news not only made the family and Goliath earn money, as well as favors that money may not buy, but also made him hot and became a leader of the younger generation, and the future is promising.
Then there was the betrayal of Kane from the top of Goliath.
Whether it is said that they are lustful for profit, whether they are lacking in pattern and do not have the courage to accompany Jiaolong to dominate the storm, or whether they are jealous and jealous, and at the same time unwilling to play the role of green leaves, and want to erase Jiaolong from the bottom of their hearts, in short, they found enough reasons to convince themselves and betrayed Kane.
In this matter, Oliver admits that he is wronged.
But he also knew that his grievances were not worth a few favors, because he did not argue with reason, did not stand firm, did not stand on Kane's side, but chose to be reluctant.
Naturally, there are a lot of reasons for this, including his parents' expectations and advice, and even his own disapproval of Kane's 'crazy' behavior.
Now, none of that matters.
Was Kane really crazy back then?
The destruction of the Green Mansion, the extermination of the eight blood princes, and the extermination of the Hengyuan Society of the strong six, is it really as some people speculate, with despicable and obscene means, trickery + raids?
It doesn't really matter anymore.
What matters is the quality that Kane is showing now must be faced by anyone.
Specifically, you only need to look at the price of the 'two clears' that the Hengyuan Society and the Metropolitan Vampires are willing to pay to understand the weight.
These two organizations are willing to pay far more than Goliath has gained by selling Kane.
This was the conclusion of an urgent discussion between the two most powerful Guardians of the organization after personally probing it.
This conclusion kept many people in Goliath awake at night.
Oliver even has a sense of revenge and venting because of this, even though there are no eggs under the nest, and he himself will be affected.
But in the end, it was still him who tried to solve the problem on the front line. Who made him the least qualified?
Oliver had the intention of betraying Goliath, but in the end, he chose to compromise because he was not alone, and the elite education he received since childhood allowed him to betray anyone, but not his family. And his family has long been deeply bound to Goliath.
This is his bond, the family is his backer, but it is also his burden.
And now, Oliver once again heeded his father's advice: don't mention the old friendship or anything, Kane Ken talked to him, it was already friendship. He was also not qualified to talk to the current Kane, it should have been the super strong of the Metropolitan Vampire and the super strong of the Hengyuan Society to talk to Kane in person, but they were afraid that their majesty would be damaged, and their hot faces would stick to their cold butts, so they let him probe his mouth first. And what he needs to do is to be a good mouthpiece.
Oliver was naturally very unhappy in his heart, but when he really arrived at the scene, he was calm, he saw Kane's strength, and knew that what was shown in front of him was not all, how strong Kane was, it could be described as 'bottomless'.
He now laughs at himself at the beginning, he really hasn't seen the sky high and the sea is deep, and wishful thinking really thinks that Kane is just an investigator who has gained extraordinary power through spiritual vision.
Even if he repeatedly showed his mature and clever transcendent technology, he still convinced himself again and again that his original assessment was correct, typical ostrich psychology, fear, and even jealousy, so that he subconsciously did not want to accept the truth, even if it was a guess in the direction of the truth, it would be denied and interrupted, it was really self-inflicted......
Oliver's mental activity, Kane doesn't care.
Kane's greatest satisfaction with Oliver was that the man did not have the arrogance of most of the children of the powerful, at least never in front of him, which made him feel comfortable without talking too much.
Oliver's second thing that makes him more satisfied is that he has a clearer understanding of the relationship between them, not close, and not clingy.
This may seem simple, but many people can't do it.
As for Kane's positioning of the relationship with each other, let's put it this way, since becoming a senior reincarnation, Kane has basically crossed out the concept of 'friend' from his own life.
It has to do with the environment, but also with his own way of thinking, when the two concepts of 'profit' and 'transaction' occupy too much weight in his life, 'friend' becomes a luxury concept that he offers, while some people are just the opposite, opening and closing their mouths are more intimate 'brothers', brothers in all corners of the world......
Kane doesn't like this tone, he thinks it's not rigorous, it's pompous, it's even a disgusting concept and himself, it's okay to stab his brother twice or be stabbed twice by his brother, it's beautiful?
In fact, in the final analysis, it is arrogant, lonely because of the lack of security caused by the environment, and arrogance because of climbing to a high place and feeling superior.
So that in the end, I can be willing to give up hundreds of millions of profits without being eye-catching, but I am reluctant to pay even a little more emotionally.
Hundreds of millions of profits are not even a drop in the bucket for him who can create endless wealth, but if he can't wait for the feedback that satisfies him, he will feel very lost, after all, emotional injury will make people more numb and indifferent, and in the end he would rather not pay, at least then he can still have hope.
Otherwise, what can you use to warm your heart? Look at this cruel and outrageous world, a creative hell created by human hands. In Kane's previous life, there were many reincarnators who eventually embarked on the path of resentment because of this, believing that human beings needed to be erased.
The good, the sunny ones are nothing but illusions made up to cover up the darkness of the heart, but attempts to make mistakes or freshness, but they lack the strength to bend their minds and self-anesthetize.
Once the power is gained, the inner true self will be quickly exposed, and that face will not be as simple as an abomination? Don't believe it? Look at the deeds done by those powerful people or wealthy businessmen who came from the mountains and later rose to prominence, it is a social problem, but society is made up of people, so in the final analysis, it is still a human problem......
Kane has argued with other reincarnators more than once or twice for this, and he is speechless in the end, perhaps because the Vientiane Gate system always arranges some difficult tasks that show the dark side of human nature to let the reincarnators take risks, all reincarnators have to face the subtle erosion of negative forces, and some people are dark unconsciously. The main reason for black is not because of weak will, but because of witnessing the truth again and again.
Therefore, Kane prefers to carefully offer the concepts of 'friend', 'brother', 'relative', and 'lover'. can't afford to hurt, a wound will make him take a big step towards blackening, he has always attached great importance to cost performance, so he would rather use reason to isolate sensibility as much as possible.
If you don't give, you don't get, and if you don't ask for it, you won't be disappointed from the bottom of your heart.
Kane himself is like this, let alone incarnation, so every Kane is a lonely person who has no relatives and friends in his heart.
It can even be said that the deity sits in the center and has not made any major moves for a long time, and it is also because of this.
Kane himself is not afraid of death, and if he were afraid of death, he would not have died so many times in the parallel future of the dark HP world.
But not being afraid of death is not the same as being fearless. He fears emotional betrayal, which will seriously affect his consciousness, make the future in his eyes dark and boring, make him lose the motivation to forge ahead, and eventually his soul will wither and perish forever.
Therefore, the betrayal encounter during the reincarnation period did not make him stop craving emotions, but let him learn to manage emotions. Hermione, Maria Seren, even Catherine, he almost chained these close people to his belt, and kept them company, not all the time, and went on adventures, adventures.
He used 'knowledge is power, technology is the primary productive force' to convince himself, to be a man who clocks in from 9 to 5, so as to achieve a better balance between career and family. And then with this is the real foundation of longevity.
So Kane is a poor man who has been deeply hurt, the Vientiane Gate system has made him, but it has also distorted him, the Vientiane Gate system needs tools, so he doesn't care about this distortion, but he can't care about himself, if he doesn't care, then he is no longer human.
Therefore, each incarnation, as well as the soul splitting out of the avatar, and the mind body, have the characteristics of a sin eater. For a warm perseverance, he did not hesitate to do all kinds of guilty and even heinous things.
Kane has no friends like this, and it doesn't matter if Oliver is right or blind, the important thing is that his thoughts and expressions are correct, so to be able to sit here, Kane doesn't humiliate him, and doesn't even mind continuing to trade with him.
Children only say right and wrong, and adults only talk about benefits.
Then let's talk about the benefits.
At this time, at that time, the concession is over, on the contrary, the debt owed must be doubled after conversion. Whether it's the Catholic Atonementists, or the Eternal Church, the Metropolitan Vampires, or Goliath......./11_11766/
