“Director Xu! Run!”
Xu Wenxing realized the situation in an instant.
This Shadow Beast turned middle-aged man had come to kill him.
Director Xu was just an innocent person caught up in this.
Since that was the case, there was no need to let Director Xu die for nothing here.
“……Okay!”
Although he wasn’t sure if he could escape, Director Xu chose to trust his judgment.
After giving Xu Wenxing a deep look, Xu Panfeng got out of the passenger seat and ran directly behind him.
It turned out Xu Wenxing was right. Even though he noticed Director Xu was running away, the middle-aged man still stood there unmoved.
Perhaps to him, this was just an ant crawling on the mud.
“You should be well aware that after I kill you, this ‘Director Xu’ you speak of will also be caught up by me and die at my hands.”
“This is a meaningless act.”
The middle-aged man in the suit said calmly as he walked toward Xu Wenxing, raising his right hand high again.
As long as this hand fell, he could easily kill him.
“You’re right……”
The moment Xu Wenxing opened his mouth, the suited man swung his hand down.
Driven by sheer fear and the instinct to survive, Xu Wenxing quickly leaped out of the shattered back seat, rolling several times to the left.
When he looked back, the original car had been torn apart, scattered into pieces of scrap metal on the ground.
“……What are you doing?”
“On one hand you call us weak, on the other hand you lead me to speak, wanting to kill me directly while I’m distracted.”
“Are you mocking us?”
Xu Wenxing tugged at his collar, frowned, and asked the man.
The suited man let out a sneer, shook his hand, and explained his intention.
“Mocking? No, don’t you think this is interesting?”
“Your life and death are in my hands, and I have no risk of being hurt.”
“You have to struggle with all your might to survive, but I don’t need to bother with such boring issues. I only need to consider how to complete this fun hunt.”
“Interesting, right?”
After saying that, the suited man smiled and approached Xu Wenxing.
He walked very slowly, as if deliberately attracting Xu Wenxing’s attention, actively slowing down.
Recalling what the suited man had just said, Xu Wenxing stood there, silent.
What the other party said was indeed correct. In the face of such a huge gap in power, all his struggles just now were futile.
If the suited man wanted to, he could kill him and Director Xu in an instant.
Given the speed he had shown, which was nearly teleportation, the suited man could definitely do that.
The reason he raised his hand and used that invisible blade to cut the car was just to toy with them.
If he and Director Xu didn’t dodge this attack, he would treat it as stepping on ants by the roadside.
But if they dodged, the suited man would become a bit interested, thinking he had found amusing prey.
Like a cat toying with a mouse. Suddenly, Xu Wenxing recalled all the novels he had read and the games he had played in his life.
He had seen similar scenes countless times in games.
An extremely powerful existence treated a weakling struggling for life as prey to toy with.
At first, he wouldn’t use his full strength, instead giving the weakling a chance to survive.
Then, when the weakling was full of hope and thought he could escape, these strong ones would use their real power and kill the weakling in return.
They seemed to enjoy the process of watching people despair, liking to see others show their cowardly side.
How disgusting. Whether in games, novels, or the reality now.
Since he already knew there was no possibility of survival, there was no need for him to play along.
Since any attempt he made from now on was doomed to fail, why should he even try?
Is any of this meaningful? Xu Wenxing closed his eyes, lowered his head, as if he had given up struggling. Seeing this, the suited man smiled.
“A very rational choice. As expected of the human who made a Magic Detection device to cause trouble for No. 024.”
“Farewell, human who has obtained the power of my kind.”
With that, a knife-hand strike fell. The ground trembled, and a roaring gale rushed toward him.
Just as the invisible blade was about to reach Xu Wenxing, he suddenly opened his eyes and dodged to the side at an incredible speed.
“What?”
Seeing that the dying man had dodged his attack, the suited man raised an eyebrow, completely not understanding what had just happened.
In his view, his strike was about to hit the other party.
No matter how much the other party dodged, as long as he was still human, he couldn’t avoid this close-range strike. But this guy…
“Don’t be surprised. I just don’t want to die at the hands of trash like you.”
Xu Wenxing said seriously.
“Were the three bodies on the mountain killed by you?”
“If I say no, will you believe me?”
Despite seeing something unexpected, the suited man still maintained his previous confident state.
As long as this human couldn’t cause him any life-threatening trouble, he had nothing to worry about.
It was just a weak ant turning into a weak mosquito, able to waste a little more of his time.
“Yes.”
Xu Wenxing nodded.
“Oh? You trust an enemy that much?”
“Of course, because there’s definitely more than one cannibal.”
Xu Wenxing stated his speculation.
“The founding group of the Jiulong Hotel is related to you, isn’t it?”
“Very smart, you guessed correctly.”
The suited man clapped.
“I am the actual controller of the group, and I have dealings with the chairmen of various large enterprises.”
“Dealings? Don’t joke around! You’re making them eat their own kind! That’s not something a human would do!”
Xu Wenxing shouted angrily, refuting the suited man.
But the suited man wasn’t angry at all, just shook his head slightly and explained.
“No, no, you misunderstand. This is not called eating one’s own kind, this is called survival of the fittest.”
“Bullshit!”
“The essence of the entire human society is a miniature version of the natural ecosystem.”
The suited man smiled.
“The weak are born to serve the strong, and the strong deserve to have everything.”
“You’re shameless, even making cannibalism sound so nice.”
Xu Wenxing sneered.
“No matter how you spin it, isn’t this still backward cannibalism among kin?”
“Backward?”
“How is it not backward? Humans have researched invention after invention to better boil water, live more conveniently, and finish the work at hand more easily.”
Xu Wenxing retorted.
“The food that other creatures struggle to obtain can be acquired by us humans through consumption after just a few hours of work.”
“Heh, an interesting theory.”
“You only find it interesting? Do you really think this kind of terrible behavior has any meaningful value?”
“Of course, sir.”
The suited man smiled.
“Being able to safely taste the flesh of one’s own kind proves that we are the masters of this world.”
“You!”
“The many rules and taboos of this world are just boring restrictions.”
The suited man laughed.
“As the strong, we have no need to care about these boring things.”
“Even if these actions cause you trouble, make others resent you, and even bring death upon you? You still think it’s right?”
“Yes, even if all the things you said happened, we strong ones would still do things that you find incomprehensible.”
The suited man praised.
“Because we are the masters of this world, and this world only changes according to our will.”
“……Then what if you strong ones are killed by us weak ones?”
Xu Wenxing stared coldly at him and suddenly asked.
“Although I really want to say it’s impossible, if that really happened, then I can only congratulate you on becoming the new strong.”
The suited man nodded with a smile.
“Remember to inherit my will and maintain the Iron Law of this world.”
“Don’t even think about it.”
“No, it’s inevitable. Since you have power, you will inevitably become a new me.”
The suited man smiled.
“Because only in this way can everyone in this world control their own destiny, let justice and rights return to everyone’s hands, and let everyone think freely.”
“Think about why everything in this world is subject to violence and death?”
Xu Wenxing sneered.
“No, this is called a world full of freedom.”
The suited man shook his head.
“The weak will be eliminated, the strong will flourish, and they will live freely in whatever way they see fit. Only then can humanity become great again.”
“……What the hell are you saying?”
Xu Wenxing found that he could no longer keep up with the suited man’s line of thought.
Not only was the other party talking nonsense, but he was also saying a bunch of incomprehensible things.
The only thing that was certain was that this guy had to die, the sooner the better.
A madman like this absolutely could not be allowed to live in this world.
He would only bring destruction and ruin, not peace and tranquility.
“You still don’t understand?”
The suited man sighed helplessly.
“This world is already beyond saving. It should be burned to ashes by strong ones like us, and then a New Order with us as the masters should be established.”
“Only then will humanity have a bright, brand new, and beautiful future.”
“What do you think, Xu Wenxing?”
Hearing his name called out, Xu Wenxing was greatly surprised, completely not understanding how the other party knew his name.
He was very sure that this was his first meeting with the other party. But this…
“Don’t be nervous. I always have extra tolerance for rising stars among humans.”
The suited man said soothingly.
“The three people on the mountain were eaten because they were unambitious and thought they should be weaker than us.”
“So, I bled them, fed them like raising fish, made them delicious, held a grand feast, and used it to warn other strong ones that their status is not permanent.”
“And you, Xu Wenxing. As a weak member of humanity, you were able to master new knowledge under the enlightenment of Lord Night Lord, providing strength to other weaklings.”
“You are outstanding. Although I once thought of killing you because of your ignorance, now I have changed my mind.”
“Join us, Xu Wenxing.”
The suited man took the initiative to extend his hand toward Xu Wenxing.
“Let’s rule this broken world together.”
