I am a businessman from all over the world, not a profiteer!

As long as the spiritual totem of the Great Guardian is still there, Beloberg will never perish!

"Who is this gentleman next to you?"

It was at this moment that they noticed that next to Bronya stood an exceptionally handsome white-haired man.

Bronya glanced at everyone present. Coincidentally, all the top executives of Beloberg were gathered here. She recalled the bet she had made with Xingyun not long ago.

If she couldn't convince everyone to accept Xingyun's rule, then Xingyun would use his own way to make them accept it.

Although Bronya had known him for a short time, she could tell from his previous behavior that he would inevitably cause a bloody storm.

Bronya turned sideways and introduced Xingyun to everyone: "This is Mr. Xingyun, the monarch who will rule Beloberg from now on."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Hearing Bronya's shocking words, the city builders instantly became anxious.

Now is not the time to fool around!

How on earth did Cocolia teach her daughter?!

"Everyone, please be patient. Not long ago, Mr. Xingyun solved the culprit that caused the Rift Corrosion and the seven hundred years of ice and snow: the star core."

Bronya had anticipated that they would oppose it at first, so she prepared to use Xingyun's achievements to convince them.

When some of the older city builders heard Bronya mention the star core, their eyes showed shock and suspicion.

The star core is a secret known only to a small number of city builders and great guardians. They once tried to study the star core in order to find a way to seal it completely.

Over the past seven hundred years, many outstanding researchers have come one after another, but they have all failed without exception.

Finally, under the order of the contemporary Grand Guardian Cocolia, the City Builders terminated this hopeless research and strictly ordered the blockade of any news related to the star core.

"He saved the planet and proved his leadership. He will lead us from now on..."

"Wait a minute! Lady Bronya, even if Mr. Xingyun really solved that star core, there's no reason for him to become the leader of Beloberg!"

Before Bronya could finish her words, she was interrupted by a white-haired old man wearing a monocle.

Bronya frowned and looked at the other person. If she remembered correctly, the other person should be the Minister of Finance.

After the old man spoke first, everyone's doubts seemed to have found an outlet, and they all expressed their dissatisfaction to Bronya.

"The succession system of the Great Guardian has been a seven-hundred-year-old tradition of Beloberg. Lady Bronya, the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed!"

"Besides, I've never even heard of a star core. Besides, even if this gentleman really saved the planet, we know nothing about him. How can we rashly hand over power to him?"

"Wait a minute, everyone, listen to me first...!"

Bronya looked at the situation that was getting out of control. She didn't expect that the most conservative city builders had the quietest voices, but it was the ministers who were making the most noise.

If she lets them continue talking, her bet with Xingyun will be...

"Lady Bronya, after this Mr. Xingyun you mentioned entered the Great Guardian's office, Lady Cocolia suddenly fell unconscious. This can't be a coincidence, right?"

Hearing someone bringing up her mother's affairs, Bronya frowned and looked at the other person, but she suppressed her anger and tried to calm everyone down first.

"There's a reason why my mother is in a coma! Please listen to me first..."

"But this man is very suspicious! We've never heard of him before, and the Iron Guards saw him attack Officer Jeppard with their own eyes. Lady Bronya, could he have caught you in some way?"

"You... really don't want to hear what I have to say?"

Even Bronya started to get annoyed by being interrupted again and again.

She was clearly speaking up for them with good intentions, but instead of appreciating it, these people wanted to pin the crime of attacking the Great Guardian and the garrison officer on Xingyun!

Wait, it seems he actually did it?

No! He has legitimate reasons for doing this!

"Lady Bronya, you look a little tired. Why don't you let us handle this matter first? If this gentleman truly saved Beloberg, we will naturally clear his name."

Bronya looked at the Silver Mane Guards who were surrounding her with weapons in hand, and the high-ranking officials behind them who looked superior. She sighed helplessly and smiled with relief.

"Mr. Xingyun, I lost the bet..."

Xingyun, who had been unusually quiet from the beginning, was like being unsealed after hearing Bronya's words, and no longer restrained his murderous intent.

"See, I told you that these losers won't settle down until the whip falls on them."

Seeing Xingyun calling them trash, a minister with a bad temper couldn't help himself.

"What did you say!? Iron Guard, catch him quickly!"

But the Silver Mane Iron Guards present seemed not to have heard his words and continued to stand in the same position as before.

"What are you doing!? Why aren't you following orders?!"

Looking at the Silver Mane Iron Guards who still had no reaction, someone finally realized that something was wrong and immediately asked Xingyun loudly in panic.

"What did you do to them?!"

"You seem to have misunderstood one thing. When Bronya first introduced my identity, it wasn't a discussion with you, but just a notice."

Xingyun raised his finger as he spoke. If you look closely, you will find a thin red line extending from his fingertips, which connects all the Silver Mane Iron Guards.

Seeing the Silver Mane Iron Guards turn around and point their guns at them, everyone's faces turned pale instantly.

"If you had listened patiently to Bronya's introduction to me, you would never have had the courage to become my enemy."

Xingyun snapped his fingers gracefully, and a huge column of blood that materialized from imaginary energy dyed the sky red again.

Ominous scarlet rain clouds enveloped the entire Beloberg, bringing down a patter of bloody rain.

"You should know that this rain can melt creatures from the Rift. So, do you think this blood rain can actually melt humans?"

They looked at the blood rain dripping from the sky in horror and tried to hide in nearby buildings like crazy.

Although they did not witness the process of the Rift Monster being melted with their own eyes, they learned from the reports of the front-line guards what a terrifying scene it was.

The Rift Shell, which was difficult to penetrate even by artillery shells, was like marshmallows meeting hot water in the face of the blood rain. In just a few blinks of an eye, it became part of the blood!

They tried to break through the encirclement of the Silver Mane Iron Guard, but the human wall formed by the Iron Guard was impenetrable, completely blocking their hope of survival.

"Haha! Just kidding~ After all, I wouldn't melt anyone in front of the public. It would be bad if it left a psychological trauma on the children~"

Looking at the high-ranking officials who were packed together like sardines, Xingyun smiled like a child who had succeeded in playing a prank.

"call..."

When they heard that Xingyun would not melt them, the senior executives present breathed a sigh of relief. The joy of surviving the disaster even made some of them laugh.

But Xingyun's next words plunged them into the abyss of despair.

"Bronya, tell the adults to cover the children's eyes. What's about to happen is going to be gory!"

Chapter 14 Position, conscience, life, you can only have two of them!

"Wait, wait a minute! If you're the hero who saved Beloberg, why are you killing us?!"

"Oh? Are you willing to admit that I'm a hero now?"

Xingyun sat on the throne formed by blood, looking at the senior officials present with a playful look.

"We were blind just now. Please calm down. There must be some misunderstanding between us!"

"When Bronya asked you to calm down just now, you weren't as rational as you are now, were you?"

Seeing Xingyun standing up for her, Bronya couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in her heart.

After my mother fell ill, I'm afraid Mr. Xingyun is the only one in Beloberg who still cares about her.

Those city builders and ministers all valued her status as the heir to the Grand Guardian and didn't care about "Bronya Rand" at all.

"By the way, the Minister in charge of education, please raise your hand first."

Hearing Xingyun's call of the name, an old woman in her sixties raised her hand tremblingly.

Even if she wanted to play dumb, it would be useless, after all, Bronya recognized them all.

"Well, you're fired. Go home and retire."

"thanks, thanks!"

When she heard the news that Xingyun asked her to retire, which was once bad news to her, now it sounded as sweet as an angel's song!

The old woman's retirement became a way out in the eyes of these ministers and city builders.

They were about to open their mouths to apply for retirement, but for some reason no sound came out of their throats.

"Let me see... The Minister of Environment can retire, too, huh? Minister of Foreign Affairs? What kind of diplomacy can Belloberg have? You're just a relative, right? You're retiring too, without a pension."

Xingyun called out the names of those people one by one according to the identities shown on the map in his mind, and gradually the crowded crowd was reduced by half.

When they saw that Xingyun stopped calling out names, the rest of the people immediately showed expressions of horror.

After those who shouldn't have died left, wouldn't those who remained all deserve to die?!

"Don't look so scared. I'm not a devil after all. As long as your next answer satisfies me, I will allow you to retire."

Xingyun crossed his legs as he spoke, looking at the people who were so scared that they knelt down to beg for mercy, and he smiled a smile that was as refreshing as spring breeze.

The moment that beautiful smile appears, people forget to breathe.

I even had the morbid thought, "As long as I can make him laugh, it wouldn't be bad to die like this!"

"Let's do a simple math problem! Suppose you have 150 resources. Person A needs 50 resources, and Person B needs 50 resources. How would you allocate them?"

After Xingyun finished asking the question, they were surprised to find that they could speak.

"Both sides share 75 resources!"

The Finance Minister shouted impatiently.

This is a problem that even a fool can solve, and anyone with a little IQ can answer it correctly!

Seeing Xingyun smiling and nodding at him, as if very satisfied with his answer, the Minister of Finance immediately showed an ecstatic expression.

Great! He can retire too!

Seeing Xingyun's smile, the rest of the people also gave the answer of 75, except for a few people dressed as city builders who fell silent.

Xingyun clapped his hands, nodded at them with a smile on his face, and said to the happy crowd.

"Hahaha! What?! Aren't you guys supposed to be able to solve problems? I thought you were all stupid pigs who only cared about eating. Then why is there such a huge disparity in resources between the upper and lower districts?"

The smiles on everyone's faces froze instantly, and they looked at Xingyun in horror.

In the high-pressure environment of life and death, they were so busy thinking about how to answer to satisfy Xingyun that they completely forgot to relate his questions to reality.

"When the upper district had enough food to waste, the people in the lower district couldn't even afford to eat. When the Rift was eroding, there were no Iron Guards to protect them."

"I'm like a slave being threatened with supplies by you. I'm desperately digging for minerals. If I can't dig up minerals, I can't exchange them for resources. Without resources, I'll starve to death."

Xingyun's scarlet blood-red eyes stared at everyone, and they seemed to see their own death reflected in those eyes.

The faces of those people became paler and paler, and Bronya opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

Has the situation in the lower district become this bad?!

With insufficient supplies and the erosion of the Rift, and without the protection of the Silver Mane Iron Guard, how many people have died down there...

"That's because of Cocolia's lockdown order! It's none of our business!"

"That's right! It's all Cocolia's dictatorship. We opposed it back then!"

"Besides, our authority only extends to the upper district. We have no control over the affairs of the lower district!"

Listening to these people's excuses for themselves, Xingyun just felt ridiculous.

"When Cocolia issued the lockdown order, as the senior officials who could allocate resources, wouldn't you have known what the future of the downtown area would be like?"

"Don't you know how many people will die because of this decision?"

"You answered so quickly when you were doing the math just now! You guys... you're really talented at playing dumb!"

Xingyun's words were like sharp needles, directly piercing through the hypocritical disguise of this group of people.

Cocolia was bewitched by the star core. Could it be that they were also bewitched by the star core?

What a joke, it’s more because the life and death of people in the lower districts have nothing to do with them, and those people below don’t have the right to vote anyway.

Blame all the mistakes on Cocolia? Expect her to settle the accounts?

How can there be such a good thing in this world?
