Chapter Seventy-Six: Anti-Guest-oriented
The heart tightened suddenly.
The cold sweat that soaked out slowly dripped from the emperor's brilliant golden sideburns.
Of course, the "emperor" knew the person in front of him. Because all the information about him has been sent to his desktop.
It wasn't long ago that he had spoken to Ultramarines about this person.
- The Godfather.
Suspected of having a worrying psychic ability. It has been less than three months since the start of the activity, and he has perfectly ruled the men of the entire lower city.
An extremely dangerous person.
And this person stood in front of him like this, quietly standing in his own home.
The windows and doors of the emperor's house had an advanced alarm system, but it was as if it was out of order...... There was no alarm at all, but it remained intact and intact. There is not even a trace of picking the lock......
His house had no keys at all, and was locked with veins. Even if the fingerprint can be faked, but his finger is still alive on his hand, how did the godfather obtain the venous data?
He didn't even look back at himself, just stood in front of his frame with his wife behind his back. It's only five steps away from you.
The TV was deliberately turned on by the godfather, just so that he could know that there was someone at home as soon as he opened the door.
At this moment, the emperor was deeply aware of ...... I am indeed old.
If he was young enough, I am afraid that the emperor would sneak over quietly and choke the godfather by the throat now.
He was a grumpy.
When he was young, he was armed with a sharp blade, a submachine gun, and a shield...... In the absence of Awakened Spiritual Energy, he dared to attack the TV station of the defense of the eight kidnappers alone. Now, thanks to technology, or money, maintenance and enhancement at any cost, the emperor's body is stronger and healthier than it was back then.
Today's emperor can easily charge with heavy machine guns, basically reaching the limit of human fitness.
But the godfather was in front of him, but he didn't dare to step forward.
It's not that I'm afraid of my own life or death, but I'm afraid that I'm going to be killed because of my irritability.
The news of Bingshui's assassination completely frightened the emperor...... He didn't know what the hole cards the godfather dared to appear in front of him, nor did he know what specific psionic powers the godfather had, whether there were people hiding in other rooms, or whether Ice Water had been kidnapped by them.
The emperor did not dare to make a move at all, and he did not even dare to show hostility in front of the godfather.
"Speaking of which, I don't think I've ever seen your wife on the news. She's not at home either...... Did you go out? β
The godfather looked back slowly: "Or did she have some accident?" β
ββ¦β¦ She's dead. β
The emperor clenched his hands into fists, stood motionless in place, and said in a deep voice: "As early as more than ten years ago, she died.
"Died in the middle of the night when he was traveling in the middle of the night when he encountered a shootout between two groups of scum from the lower city.
"Back then, Downtown's reputation wasn't so vicious. The night in Uptown isn't so dangerous yet, neither the Curtain of Ignorance nor the Eternal Tribulation is there. There are no gang organizations, and all the uncensored people are still fighting on their own...... Instead, the mercenaries have gathered together to form an organization. The people who killed my wife were two mercenary groups that had been destroyed by me. β
"What an accident."
The godfather shrugged, "I've never heard of this - people even thought your wife was alive, just a little low-key." Incognito. β
"Because I don't want people to know that my wife was killed."
The emperor said calmly: "I have tortured those mercenaries a long time ago, and they don't remember that they killed such a woman back then. Only a few people still have an impression, but they are sure that they never retaliated against me.
"But I know people don't think that. They are fantasizing about more ups and downs, thinking that someone is taking revenge on my family for my folly.
"If people really believe that story, the righteous deeds of the heroes will be constrained.
"Although we heroes are professionals, we act for money and fame...... Professional heroes. But the moment anyone becomes a hero, they must be selfless, shining, and selfless.
"If people are afraid to act for fear of retribution, then the root of good deeds is cut off."
"So you...... Would you rather swallow this bitterness yourself than tell it to anyone? He even pretended that his wife was still alive...... Even this photo is not an intangible image, but a recent synthetic photo. β
"Because I occasionally have some web shows that need to be filmed at home."
The Emperor said slowly, "I don't mind my address being leaked out. But if people had judged from the details, my wife would have died a long time ago...... Whether it is death from illness or murder, the image of the role of 'emperor' will be shaken. β
"So you have never had a servant or a butler, even though you have a high income...... His wife has been dead for so long, and there is no renewal. β
The godfather sighed, "It's all about worrying that the truth of that incident will be exposed, isn't it?" β
ββ¦β¦ At first, I didn't think much of it. β
The Emperor's voice was low and bitter: "I just thought that people should not be afraid of the way of 'heroes'.
"But then I found out that I had dug a hole for myself. A hard-to-fill pit. β
This man whose status is equivalent to the "chairman" of the lower city and has a position that is completely opposite to his own...... For some reason, it was a rare opportunity for the emperor to confide in his heart.
After personally contacting the godfather, the emperor always had a strange feeling...... Although the man in front of him seemed to be immersed in darkness, he was not a bad person.
There seemed to be a glow on his bodyβa temperament that followed morality.
The Emperor had seen this temperament in countless young men who had just become heroes, but they were quickly depleted and extinguished. But in the godfather, this temperament is so strong...... It's not worse than ultramarine, maybe even stronger.
The emperor believed in his instinct to recognize people and meet people, and with the number of people he came into contact with on a daily basis, he could not count them by survey, and could only rely on instinct...... Luckily, it rarely goes wrong.
It is precisely because the godfather is a wicked man in his position and a righteous man in his heartβand at the same time an invincible enemy that the emperor does not dare to attack or provoke, that he can say so many things when he meets for the first time.
"You're right, Mr. Emperor."
The godfather said gently, "It's just like when you founded the Hero Club...... Because those elven directors basically don't care about anything, human directors don't dare to act too ostentatious, and the other executives of the head office are all centered on profit and merit, only you heroes have power and are not restrained.
"That's why you opened the Hero Club with five of your friends, hoping to take care of the injustices...... That's what Club of Heroes was founded for. β
"I still don't regret it."
The Emperor replied.
It was not surprising that his godfather would know about such a thing, as he mentioned in his own memoirs.
"Even those heroes have fallen?"
"It doesn't matter," said the Emperor without any remorse, but calmly, "I think my path is the right one."
"It is to make people feel excited when they are doing good...... Think of their actions as good and rewarding. In this way, there will be more and more heroes.
"You can't believe in the goodness that comes from the depths of your heart. It was only a few, fleeting spark of sparks, which was to establish a system in which the person who did good deeds could be rewarded handsomely, whether he was a truly good person or not. As long as he is willing to continue doing good deeds, it is enough. β
Even if it is to work with the villains who steal the world and deceive the world, the emperor can bear it.
If he didn't reveal his true nature until he died, perhaps the emperor could help him hide the truth after his death.
"The profession of 'hero' must not remain pure. In that case, it will only make the standards more stringent and the circle smaller and smaller. It will only make people point fingers at good deeds, score the merits of heroes, and judge ......"
The emperor said in a deep voice: "Some people believe that hero should be an honorific title.
"And I think it should be a cause β a good job worth the rest of your life.
"That's why we have implemented a professional hero system."
He looked at the Godfather and asked rhetorically, "Interested in coming to Uptown to be a 'hero', Mr. Godfather?"
"If it were you, you might be able to become the first hero to belong to the 'uncensored' and change the living situation of the uncensored...... Maybe. β
