Chapter 229: Winning is losing, and losing is winning
In order to prevent Mammon from finding a posterior, the fact that Hughes was summoned by God to become an angel was not taken out by heaven and hyped up.
But Motley believed that if the pact had restored Hughes to a demon and then punished him, Hell would have been clamoring for it.
At that time, Motley's life in heaven will definitely not be easy, after all, Hughes was brought up by him, and the joint responsibility must be borne.
"Actually, you just have to admit that you deceived Hughes to cheat on Mr. Mammon, that is, you will lose a little money, and you can take your angels out of here with you. ”
Seeing Motley's hesitation, Shao Dong continued: "Does Mr. Motley feel that his gains and losses are more important than the face of heaven?"
Theoretically, every angel is in the service of heaven, which means that the interests of heaven are above all personal gains and losses.
If it was just a simple compensation and apology, Motley gritted his teeth and admitted it. But he is now very unsure whether Shao Dong will do what he says, in case he admits it, Shao Dong adds some additional punishment conditions, then he will probably have to spend the rest of his life in hell.
Looking at Hughes with a little panic, Motley suddenly regretted that he hadn't treated him well. If Hughes had taken revenge on his behalf for the Marmon family, Hughes would probably be grateful to him, and he wouldn't have to worry as much about it as he is now.
But does the devil know what gratitude is? Motley was extremely suspicious of this at this time, and looked at Hughes with a hint of fear in his eyes.
After glancing back and forth between Motley and Hughes a few times, Shao Dong turned to Hughes and said seriously: "Hughes, you still have a chance now." If you can prove that your actions were dictated, that you were only used and that you have repented, I promise that the punishment of the contract will not be too severe, and if you do not believe it, I can apply to receive the same punishment as you. ”
If Shao Dong's previous words only made Motley feel the crisis, then now his words made him feel deep despair.
The only reason Hughes didn't want to admit it was because he was afraid of punishment, and if he didn't have it, then why didn't he confess himself?
Shao Dong narrowed his eyes and decided to increase the stakes a little more, "If you are worried that you will be retaliated against by Mr. Mammon in the future, then I hereby promise in the name of the contract that I can make you my demon after the verdict, and then you will belong to the Lucifer family, as long as you don't do anything out of line, no one in hell will dare to provoke you." ”
Ma Meng's dissatisfaction with Shao Dong immediately disappeared with this sentence, and there was even a little bit of gratitude. For his own sake, he used the Lucifer family as a bargaining chip, which was really trying his best to the limit.
Motley's face was now pale and pale. Treat others with himself, and in the face of such conditions, he must have chosen to defect without hesitation.
What did he say to give himself two choices, Shao Dong was not ready to let him go from the beginning, the choice was just a means for Shao Dong to play and insult him.
"Who said I was being taken advantage of?" Hughes, who had always been submissive, suddenly spoke, and continued with an indifferent face: "You guys with family protection just like to look down on people so much, who said that if I have a low rank, I must be the one who is being used?"
Motley's whole person instantly regained his vitality, but Shao Dong's brows furrowed.
"You all think I'm being used by him, don't you?
Hughes pointed at Motley, his tone full of disdain.
After hearing his words, everyone present had this thought: "Isn't it?"
No matter how you look at the whole thing, Hughes was used as a gun by Motley, and even Motley himself thinks so, but listening to Hughes, the co-author is that he used Motley to take revenge on Mammon.
"Hughes, you have to know what your words mean now, this is not the time for you to be a hero, you should be punished if you are guilty, do you want to let the culprit leave, but you will bear all the blame?"
Hearing Shao Dong's words, Hughes laughed out loud, "Hahahaha, self-righteous guys, you all feel the same, you all think that a demon like me doesn't even have the qualifications to be a calculator, right?"
Hughes jerked up his hand at Mamon, "Lord Mamon, the Seven Demon Kings of Hell. Then he pointed to Lucifer, "Lord Lucifer, the Seven Demon Kings of Hell." Finally, he moved his finger to Shao Dong's eyes, "Shao Dong, the demon lawyer, is an official member of the Lucifer family. ”
"You are all big shots, and every decision you make may be related to the life and death of countless demons, but have you ever thought about it, why should our life and death depend on your face!"
The more Hughes spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice gradually became much louder, "We do the heavy lifting, you are only responsible for pleasure! Everything we do, except for abuse and bullying, will not get anything in return." ”
Shao Dong was speechless when he said this, a demon actually had such a thought, which was absolutely unimaginable to him.
The rules in hell are like this, the difference in rank makes the upper level demons have absolute control over the lower level demons, and after endless years of precipitation, no one has questioned the rationality of the rules.
All the demons felt that this was the way things should be, and that the lower ranks should be treated like this.
And what Hughes just said is basically questioning the rules, or rather, rebelling against the rules.
After shouting, Hughes gasped for breath and muttered, "I just want dignity, a dignity that can be treated fairly, is there anything wrong with that?"
Looking at Hughes, who had fallen into languishing again, Shao Dong shook his head, "Dignity can only be obtained by one's own efforts, what dignity did you get by defrauding the Demon King?"
Hughes raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "I at least let him know that our lower-level demons can also let him be deceived, and the gap between us and him is only because we don't have the opportunity to obtain enough sin points to advance." ”
Shao Dong frowned, and after a long silence, he said: "No matter what your reason is, even if you don't talk about the rules, there is no doubt that the fraud itself should be punished. ”
"If I'm defrauding an ordinary demon, I don't know if I can still use your power to come and judge the crime?"
Hughes had a smile on his face that made Shao Dong very uncomfortable.
Faced with this situation, Shao Dong just wanted to end this conviction as soon as possible, and now his mind was in a mess.
"The demon Hughes, who has confessed to his fraud on Mr. Marmon, now asks the contract to punish him according to the rules. Angel Motley has confirmed that it has nothing to do with it, and I admit that I lost. ”
After saying it hard, Shao Dong looked up at the contract in the air, and said in his heart: "Why doesn't it seem that there is no winner in this judgment?"
