City Four.

The headquarters of the Zero S Group.

Spiral King Rose looked at the stone platform that had been split in half by Theresia's sword, the expression on his face did not change, he still had a smile, and he still had a gentle and reserved temperament.

In order to show his sincerity, he did not wear the mask he usually wore today, and at this moment, the iron metal mask fell from the broken stone platform to the ground with a thrilling crisp sound.

If he doesn't give an explanation today, will he ruin the foundation of this group that he has worked so hard to build?

Rose stretched out his hand: "Please." ”

"What?" Theresia was stunned.

"I said, please."

Rose's face remained smiling, gentle, maliciously.

"Lady Theresia, you seem to think that I value the Zeros Group that I have set up, this group that covers the sky in the Northlands, just like you value those useless consumables and came to see me for them."

"You want to threaten me with this, to blackmail me, to force me to give in, to confess my mistakes, just like those little warnings I gave you."

"You're wrong."

"I don't really care if you really destroy my Zero S. Group, it won't be a bargaining chip for you to blackmail me. Remember what I said to you the last time we met? If you forget, it's okay, I can tell you again in serious and detail. ”

"It's never me who is dependent on the Northlands, sucking the blood of the Northlands, it's the people of the Northlands, whether it's the Wilderness or the citizens of City Four, it's they who need me and depend on me. Like my Zero Group, it has always been attached to me, not that I am relying on it and needing it. ”

"Nonsense!"

Theresia frowned, and reprimanded angrily: "Obviously, it is you who rely on exploiting and oppressing the people of the Northland to plunder resources and wealth, and spread the tentacles of your power group all over the Northland and to the mainland, so that you can become the leading person in the Federation, I don't believe that you really don't feel sorry for these foundations at all!" ”

"No, no, no, Miss Theresia, you're mistaken, I became a big man in the Federation not because of how I exploited the people of the Northlands, how much of a foundation I have, but because of my own strength."

Rose stretched out his index finger and shook it and said:

"Even if you really destroy my power, it's just for me to spend some time getting another one, and my behavior is not exploitation to be precise, I just got the resources that match my strength, these are originally mine."

"Yours?"

Theresia laughed angrily, "It's worthy of being the lord of the chaebol, and the sophistry of the crooked people really comes out of the mouth, won't you feel disgusted and ashamed when you say these words?" ”

"It's that you haven't had time to change your mind, ma'am. Human society is dressed in a gorgeous coat, and the essence is still running the set of rules of the jungle, and the weak can only be eaten by the strong as food, which is a natural and the law of all things. ”

Rose said slowly and unhurriedly:

"There is already a distinction between strong and weak human beings, and the emergence of psionic energy has further widened the gap between strength and weakness, and has brought subversive changes to this set of rules. In the past, before psionic energy appeared, money, power, these were the criteria for measuring a person's strength or weakness. ”

"The strong feed on the weak, and strengthen themselves by exploiting the weak, you can say that the strong also depend on the weak, like a pyramid, without those weak and universal low-level civilians as the cornerstone, there will be no strong people standing at the top of the tower."

"But after the advent of psionic energy, the strength of the strong no longer depends on the exploitation and oppression of the weak, money, power...... Psionic energy is the proof of a person's strength or weakness, and the strength of the strong no longer comes from the weak, no longer from the money and power obtained by relying on the people at the bottom, but from themselves, from their own power. ”

"The pyramid model has broken down, in the past, the strong overrode the weak, exploited the weak, but also relied on the weak, without those weak and large civilians, it is impossible to achieve a person's strength and greatness."

"And now, the strength of the strong comes from themselves, and those so-called bottoms, those huge numbers are just numbers for us."

"On the contrary, now it is those who need us, rely on us, because without us, they would have died in the harsh living environment of the beasts and natural disasters raging today, their lives, their value depends on us to survive, everything about them belongs to us, understand, ma'am?"

"Crooked...... Fallacious reasoning! ”

Theresia's voice trembled, and a clear anger appeared on her face.

"According to what you say, then I am better than you now, should you just be caught and let me deal with it?"

"It's a pity, Ms. Theresia, that you can never be truly strong if you haven't changed your mindset and still empathized with those who are weak, and put yourself on the same level as them."

"Because you have such a clear weakness, such a clear weakness, you are so vulnerable to being threatened, just like your ancestors."

Rose smiled, looked at her contemptuously and playfully, and spread his hands outstretched.

"You can do it to me, but I warn you that even if you can kill me, it will cost you a lot, and I will not sit idly by. And the entire city of Four, the lives of tens of millions of people, do you have the consciousness to bear these blood-stained sins? ”

"You can also destroy this building under our feet, destroy my power and foundation, I don't care, but don't forget, my Zeros Group has monopolized the grain transportation trade in the Northlands, have you ever thought about how many people in the wilderness will die of lack of food, starve to death and freeze to death in the wind and snow?"

Theresia's lips were closed, her teeth were clenched, her hands holding her sword were shaking, her pupils trembling.

She knew that Ross was gambling, gambling that she would not dare to do anything to him, warning with these naked threats, using the lives of these innocent people to make her fear and retreat.

His smile was contemptuous, and the malevolent stickiness and darkness that emanated from him drowned her like glue and condensed.

"Look, Lady Theresia, you're not strong at all, you're just a lucky one who has ascended to the throne in one step, you don't have the mentality and qualifications to match that power, you don't dare to swing your sword at me."

Rose chuckled, clapped his hands, and summoned a servant.

The servant was about to sweep the rubble from the floor with a broom, but Rose waved him off the ground, leaving only the broom.

The broom was thrown at the feet of Theresia by him, and he pointed to the gravel on the ground and commanded in a cold voice:

"Now, grab a broom and clean up this place for me."

"You broke my table, and I asked you to help me clean up this garbage, you shouldn't refuse, right?"

He said that you should not refuse, but in his words, he was sure that Theresia would not dare to refuse.

Theresia didn't even look at the broom at her feet, and slashed at him with her sword.
