Chapter 160 You're making it very difficult for me
"My Lord, I have always had a question about this operation."
"Why are you so obsessed with power that you even want to ascend to the throne of Thundergod."
Half-kneeling respectfully behind Chen Yue, Zhixian seemed to be very confused.
Turning around slowly, Chen Yue looked at Zhixian, a trace of nostalgia flashed across his face.
"You really want to know?"
The cold evening breeze blew through Chen Yue's gray hair, and at the same time hid the arrogance in Chen Yue's heart.
"Yes, my lord." Zhixian answered without hesitation, his eyes full of doubt and puzzlement. He had followed Chen Yue for many years, but he still could not understand Chen Yue's desire for power.
The answer to this question was not just something he wanted to know, but was a common question shared by all the leaders of the Grand Council.
"Well, it's not a secret anyway. Go back and tell them what I said to you. Just consider it as a reward for this action."
Chen Yue nodded slightly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He looked into the distance, as if he saw a scene from the past. "That was when I was young, and I witnessed the power of power with my own eyes."
"I was shot three times during the battle. I tried my best to bring back the enemy's combat intelligence."
"At that time, I was very naive and thought that with this reason, I should be able to have my own team."
"But the reality is cruel. They just assigned me a sinecure and ignored my request."
"It was then that I realized that hero is just a nice-sounding title."
"At that time, I was deeply desperate. I looked at those people who held power. They were not braver or smarter than me, but they could easily decide my fate. I began to understand that power is the real strength."
Chen Yue's tone was calm and deep, as if he was telling a distant story, but Zhixian could feel a deep pain and helplessness from his tone.
"Heroes cannot get overwhelmed by power. What are heroes in front of power? Tools!"
"I began to look for ways to gain power. I studied hard, fought hard, and even betrayed my beliefs. I climbed up step by step, from a small soldier to a general, and now the head of the Military Affairs Council."
"I know that this process is full of pain and sacrifice, but I have never regretted it. Because I know that only by having power can I truly protect myself and the people I want to protect."
Chen Yue turned around and looked at Zhixian, his eyes full of determination and persistence.
"I want to ascend to the throne of Thundergod, not because I want to be a god, but because I want to have more power and I want to protect more people."
Zhixian was silent. He had never heard Chenyue say this before. He began to understand that Chenyue's obsession with power actually stemmed from his desire to protect himself and others.
"I understand, my lord." Zhixian whispered, his eyes full of admiration and respect. "I will always follow you, no matter where you go."
"Haha, if you really want to repay me for my kindness, then just do your job well." Chen Yue said with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction.
"But you have to know that power is not omnipotent." Chen Yue's tone suddenly became serious.
“Sometimes, power can even become a shackle that binds us. We cannot lose our original intentions in pursuit of power, nor can we forget our original intentions because we have power.”
“A truly strong person is one who has seen through the cruelty of the world and still has a pure heart.”
Chen Yue looked at Zhixian deeply, as if telling him this profound truth.
While you still have a choice, don't let yourself regret it and don't be like me and no longer be yourself.
......
"My lord, this operation went very smoothly. The three magistrates are now under our control, and two of them have even reached cooperation with us."
"The heads of the three magistrates are now under control. I wonder when the lord will start questioning them?"
Zhixian's voice interrupted Chen Yue's deep thoughts. He raised his head slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
Same location, same characters, but the time is different this time.
"No hurry, it's not the right time yet." Chen Yue said lightly. Although his voice was calm, it was full of power.
"These are all the crimes of Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke. We have followed your request and removed all the elements of the Fatui and preserved the current version."
Handing the document to Chen Yue, Zhixian's eyes were full of confidence.
Chen Yue took the document, and his fingers slid lightly across the paper, as if he was touching the texture of history. There was a gleam in his eyes, which was the expectation for the future and the desire for power.
"Very good, this is the evidence we want." Chen Yue whispered, his voice full of power.
"We have already made preparations for the aftermath, and I hope that the next actions will go smoothly."
Drawing a horizontal line from the void, Chen Yue tore the space apart.
"Yes, my lord." Zhixian bowed his head deeply, his voice full of awe.
Chen Yue nodded slightly, and his eyes turned to the sky outside the window, where a dark cloud was slowly spreading. He knew that it was a sign of the coming storm.
"So, what's the next plan?" Zhixian asked, his voice full of anticipation.
Chen Yue turned around, his eyes were as sharp as a knife: "It's time to show our strength. I want everyone to know what real thunder is."
......
After waking up from a coma, Kamisato Ayato felt that he had never been so embarrassed.
After a quick look around, Kamisato Ayato despairedly discovered that there was nothing in the room except the person in front of him. He couldn't even find the door to enter.
"Now that you're awake, there's no need to keep pretending!"
Looking at the confused Shenli Lingren, Chen Yue's face looked very unhappy.
"What... do you want to do?" asked Kamisato Ayato, his voice full of vigilance.
"Master of the Society, do you still remember what you promised me?"
Without answering Kamisato Ayato's question, Chen Yue brought up the last time Chen Yang went to the society to perform his duties.
"Lord Wu Wang, I will fully support your wishes. I will do my best to assist you with the Eye Hunting Order."
"But what about now? You are not even willing to cooperate with us. What does this mean?"
"Kamisato Ayato, you're going to make it very difficult for me to handle this!"
