"Let me be...king...?"

Yashiro came to the Adventurer's Guild and looked at the adventurers crawling on the ground, and fell into deep self-doubt.

The Adventurer Guild Leader, Byron, raised his head and responded to his question.

"That's right, Master Yashiro. As you can see, this city, which has been reduced to ruins, needs salvation. It needs a powerful and kind person like you to guide it!"

"On behalf of all the people of Biber, I beg you to become the king of this city."

"Even if you want to use us as tools in the war in order to win, we will never complain."

"As long as we can help you, we will never step back even if it means losing our lives."

"We are willing to give everything, please become the king of this city."

“Lead this city to prosperity.”

The adventurers all looked solemn and serious, and they all followed suit and shouted.

“I implore you to lead this city to prosperity.”

"I implore you to lead this city to prosperity!"

"No, no, wait a minute."

Yashiro shook his head almost instantly and said, "Don't you Adventurer's Guild not interfere in the internal affairs of the country?"

Kodell Gang, who was mixed in the crowd and was also one of the few steel-level adventurers in this city, said solemnly.

"This is not interfering in the country's internal affairs. We are just helping the people to make their voices heard."

"Please take a good look at this city. There are no ruins, no atrocities, and no corpses of people who died of starvation."

"All of this is because of your existence, Lord Yashiro."

“Everyone admires you from the bottom of their hearts.”

"Your existence is righteousness!"

Cordell's voice was solemn and majestic, and his eyes were eager and fanatical!

As a veteran steel-level adventurer, his words were undoubtedly more convincing than those of Guild President Byron.

The adventurers, like gunpowder with a lit fuse, waved flags and cheered enthusiastically.

"Justice!"

"Justice!"

Yashiro rubbed his eyes, feeling exhausted.

He has tried his best to appear in front of other people as little as possible after the disaster.

The purpose is to downplay one's own presence so as not to attract the attention of others.

But why did things turn out like this?!

He took a deep breath and his eyes became cold and ruthless.

In this case, he had no choice but to play against common sense.

Even so, it may have some impact on Xiaodi's plan.

But now is not the time to think about these issues.

If things continue on this trend, he might really be pushed to the throne by this group of people!

'"Is that what you wanted to say to me?"

Yashiro's voice carries no emotion.

There was even a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Everyone who was crawling on the ground was stunned by his sudden change.

“Hehe…hahahahaha.”

Yashiro suddenly laughed out loud and said, "As expected, trash is trash. Even in the face of such a disaster, the idea of ​​trash relying on the strong cannot be eradicated."

Everyone's expressions suddenly became dull.

"What……"

"We...are...garbage..."

The corners of Yashiro's mouth rose slightly.

"Yes, that's right. You are trash, complete trash. Even if I accept you as my subordinates, it will not do me any good."

"Or do you have the confidence that you can buy me even one second the next time you face Addabao?"

Everyone lowered their heads and their teeth began to chatter.

In this world, the most despairing thing is not those cold words.

But when the cruel facts are brought to the table, they are forced to accept the truth that they are unwilling to face.

Yashiro turned around, leaving only a glance back and a pair of desperate words.

"I will not become the king of this city, and it is not my duty to protect the weak like you."

……

The scene remained completely silent for quite a long time until Yashiro's figure disappeared from the spot.

All the adventurers were still lying on the ground.

However, compared to before, their eyes now seemed to have lost the luster they should have had.

"how so……"

"So, in the eyes of the Eighth Generation... Master, are we so weak?"

"That can't be helped... With such a powerful force, it's normal for him to look down on weaklings like us..."

"So, we were abandoned by that adult?"

The scene fell into dead silence again.

Even Byron, the president of the Adventurer's Guild, was greatly shocked by what Yashiro said.

Xueli, hiding in the crowd, looked at the scene in front of her and sighed helplessly.

It seems that no one in this group of people understood the true meaning of the master's words.

She reached out, took off her hood, and prepared to complete her cleanup.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly stood up from the crowd.

Xueli narrowed her eyes.

The person who stood up was Cordell Gang, who had been silent since a while ago.

Everyone's eyes turned to Cordell.

Cordell walked up to the man who said, "Have we been abandoned by that adult?" and punched hard!

boom! !

The thin body flew away, then fell heavily to the ground, completely fainted.

This sudden scene caught everyone off guard.

Before anyone could ask any questions, they saw Cordell roaring with anger on his face.

"You bastard, you can't understand the good intentions of Lord Yashiro, and you even dare to slander Lord Yashiro publicly. Don't you have any conscience as a human being?"

Everyone was shocked by Cordell's roar.

But there was more confusion and disbelief in their eyes.

"Hey...wait, Cordell, what do you mean by that?"

"Could it be...could it be...that Lord Yashiro has not abandoned us?"

"But that gentleman said it himself: I will not be the king of this city!"

"What the hell is going on, Cordell!"

Cordell took a deep breath and calmed down.

He glanced at everyone present and asked in an almost questioning tone.

"If we are really so despicable in the eyes of Lord Yashiro, then why did he choose to save the city at the most critical moment and let Adabao escape?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Yes.

If this is true, then why did Yashiro choose to let the demon run away because of the residents in the city?

But, if that wasn't the case, why would Yashiro say that?

Everyone looked at Cordell in confusion, waiting for the next answer.

Cordell sighed helplessly and continued, "Isn't what Lord Eighth Generation said right? We are weaklings, weaklings like trash!"

"When faced with problems, rubbish that only relies on the strong has no meaning at all!"

"If the baby wants to survive, it must learn to be weaned;"

"If the young eagle wants to survive, it must learn to soar into the sky;"

"The strong prey on the weak, and the fittest survive. This is the eternal law of nature!"

"The only way for the weak to survive is to keep getting stronger!"

"A person who only relies on others will eventually die when no one can protect him."

"This is probably what Lord Yashiro wants to tell us."

Everyone's eyes suddenly widened.

There was an expression of sudden enlightenment on everyone's face.

"So that's it..."

"Sure enough, Lord Yashiro has not abandoned us."

"But, if that's the case, why didn't Lord Yashiro just tell us directly?"

"This is easy to understand, because gentle words can never make people grow."

"You're right. The only thing that can really make people grow is constant injuries and scabs."

"So, Master Yashiro knew that we would most likely misunderstand him, or even fail to understand his good intentions, but he still used this method to teach us how to survive..."

Everyone's eyes suddenly became more fanatical than before!

"This is...how gentle!"
