Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 610 - 37: The Victor Is Justice_3

The moment this scene appeared, before Li Xiaoyu could react, Qiao Shanshan let out an exclamation.

"Even an iron tree is blooming?"

There's an old saying that it takes a mountain to separate a man chasing a woman, but only a sheet of paper to separate a woman chasing a man. But in the eyes of Qiao, the strategist, what Li Xiaoyu felt for Tang Xian seemed to be the opposite.

When the mountain suddenly collapsed and the paper tore yesterday, Qiao Shanshan panicked. As far as the eye could see, the only ones left without suitors were herself and Dong Ran.

She looked toward Dong Ran, and her gaze was gentler than usual.

But as soon as she remembered that Dong Ran was several years younger than she was, her spirits plummeted again.

…

…

The Thirty-Ninth Fortress, seventh level.

Three days after Song Que revealed the production method of the Judgment Knight, the entire Thirty-Ninth Fortress was in turmoil.

Just yesterday, signs of a fight were found in the third level's learning district, which had been sealed off previously by the orders of the Li family. The news spread quickly as well.

But people found nothing in the learning district except for some signs of battle, such as damaged and wilted plants, which didn't provide any useful information.

People were angry; Li Wanye didn't explain about the Judgment Knight and was instead making other subtle moves.

Everyone was hoping for an explanation from Li Wanye.

It's strange how quickly public sentiment can change. While a meeting was convened in the eighth level, nearly all the lords vehemently supported Li Wanye.

But sensing the changing winds these days, they quickly switched sides, collectively denouncing Li Wanye, all claiming that they were unaware that the Judgment Knight required living humans as materials.

After Li Xiaoyu ran away from home, Li Xiaonian, the seemingly frivolous third young master in the eyes of the world, took up the mantle his sister had worn before and was doing increasingly better.

Gradually, everyone started changing their opinion of the third young master, including Li Wanye.

Perhaps this gave Xiaonian some confidence, so that today, he came to Li Wanye's study.

The conversation between the two inevitably revolved around the Judgment Knight. During this process, Xiaonian was quite direct.

"Father, continuously blocking off the levels will only make people more and more angry. They will think you are avoiding... Regardless, you should give an explanation," he said.

Li Wanye's expression was very calm. These days, he rarely stepped out of his study. He noticed that even the Li family's servants looked at him differently than before.

Now even his most cowardly son had come to question him; yet he wasn't angry.

Li Wanye removed the ring from his hand and placed it in a lead box.

This was the first time Xiaonian had seen his father take off the ring.

Li Wanye said:

"Since I was young, I've understood one thing: living on someone else's territory requires endurance. We are all slaves. Do you know which slaves die the quickest?"

Xiaonian shook his head, not quite understanding.

"It's always the most troublesome slaves that die the quickest. 'Know me, judge me, only the ages will tell.' The things Song Que is doing, I thought about them when I was younger too. But later, I realized it wasn't possible because no one knows what lies outside, nor does anyone know what means the owner of the fishbowl possesses.

If the outside world doesn't welcome us back and we anger the owner of the fishbowl, wouldn't that be a loss?"

"Father, what are you talking about?"

"The masters of the outside world have met the owner of the fishbowl. The victor will soon make some moves. I don't need to explain anything because the truth is always changing."

Li Wanye took out a cigarette, his statement laden with meaning:

"Xiaonian, remember this, justice is not a path, but a signpost. Whoever emerges victorious gets to write what's on the signpost."

Xiaonian still didn't understand.

But on the fourth day, he faintly began to comprehend some parts. That day, a major event shook the entire Federation, spreading sensational news once more—

The Judgment Knights, which were supposed to be inert, came to life.

Bronze spoke, stunning the world.
