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

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

Xingyun stretched out two fingers at them, and those people immediately became crazy and decisively gave up their positions.

"Retire! We want to retire!"

"I'm willing to retire! I'm willing to use my family fortune to compensate the lower class! Please don't kill me!"

"We are also forced to have no choice!"

Bronya felt a little sorry when she saw these people begging for mercy.

Xingyun noticed the expression on Bronya's face and turned to her and said:

"Bronya, you have to remember that if these people were truly innocent, they would have been dismissed by Cocolia long before Cocolia gave the order."

"As I said just now, they can only have two of the following: position, conscience, and life. They made their choice fifteen years ago."

"If you sympathize with them now, who will sympathize with the lower-class residents who died because of them?"

"No snowflake in an avalanche is innocent."

After hearing Xingyun's words, the sympathy in Bronya's eyes gradually turned into self-blame and frustration.

After all, as the heir to the Great Guardian, although she had opposed her mother's blockade order, she was unable to stop her...

"Lord Xingyun! We know we were wrong! We are willing to atone for our sins!"

"You don't know you've done something wrong, you just know you're going to die."

Xingyun looked up at the clock hanging outside the mechanical house next to him.

Is it almost noon already?

"I should have lunch, so let's get going!"

As Xingyun spoke, he closed his fingers like a pair of scissors and mercilessly cut their lifelines.

The people who had just been begging for mercy had a barely visible streak of blood on their necks and fell down like puppets with their strings cut, their faces still retaining the look of their last pleas.

Chapter 15 Although you have lost your mother and your position, you still have me!

"It's cool!"

Xingyun sat in the Great Guardian's office chair and stretched.

The big pests have been eliminated, and the next step is for the Iron Guards to find and kill the small pests!

The map in the system lord module is really useful. Not only can it display green and red names, but it also allows you to check the life histories of the citizens of the territory.

This is also the reason why Xingyun just mentioned that certain people were spared.

Those people could only be said to have done nothing wrong and were allowed to retire with dignity.

"Bronya, what's wrong with you? Why are you so depressed since just now?"

Noticing the negativity on Bronya's face, Xingyun looked at her with a puzzled look.

Obviously, everything in Beloberg is thriving now, and the disasters of the rift and snowstorm have been resolved.

Why did she show a decadent expression that said "I am a waste"?

"Mr. Xingyun, I... I also acquiesced to Mother's orders. So, like them, I am also a parasite of Beloberg."

Bronya suppressed her inner anxiety and fear, clenched her fists tightly, and confessed her "crimes" to him.

Just like Xingyun said, she was also a snowflake that caused the avalanche, and she was also responsible for the deaths of those citizens in the lower area!

Listening to Bronya's confession, Xingyun crossed his fingers and placed them in front of him.

So that's what she's thinking. Is she feeling guilty about what happened in the lower district?

"Bronya, you were just an heir at the time and had no real power. It's normal that you couldn't stop Cocolia."

"But!"

Seeing Bronya's self-blaming expression, Xingyun suddenly changed the subject and continued:

"But that doesn't mean you're completely innocent. You could have used your identity to secretly support the lower classes. At the very least, you could have witnessed firsthand what the lower classes look like after the lockdown."

"As a future leader, you should have a clear understanding of the land you will govern, otherwise all your orders will be empty talk on paper."

If he comforted Bronya that she was innocent, she would definitely not accept it. In that case, he would give her a lighter sentence.

Bronya confessed this to him, essentially asking him for punishment to ease her inner guilt.

Then give her an outlet to let her feelings out...

After all, when people live in this world, isn't the purpose to feel at ease?

"Although you may be spared the death penalty, you cannot escape the punishment of living. From today on, you will resign as the commander of the army."

"Yes..."

Bronya nodded with a sense of loss, but it was good to step down, so that she could have more time to take care of her mother...

But for Beloberg now, is it really a good thing to let his mother recover?

Even if she is controlled by the star core, the sins committed by her mother will not disappear...

When the mother wakes up, can she really accept herself with all the stains on her body?

"Then, Bronya Rand, in the name of the monarch, I appoint you as my secretary to assist me in my work from now on!"

"Eh? Me? But...can I really do that?"

Bronya showed a hesitant expression. She didn't think she had the ability to assist Xingyun because not only did she not notice that her mother was controlled by the star core, she also failed to stop the blockade order issued by her mother.

She knew nothing about what was happening in the lower class district, and lived a routine life as a well-educated young lady.

Although she had some military merits as the leader of the Iron Guard, Xingyun had only been in Beloberg for one morning, and the contributions he had made to Beloberg had far exceeded everything she had accumulated in the past twenty years!

Compared to him, Bronya feels like a waste...

"Mr. Xingyun, please seek help from someone else. I don't have the ability..."

Hearing Bronya's refusal, Xingyun, who was leaning on the chair, sat up straight.

She was so devastated? This won't do!

The future of Beloberg cannot be without Bronya!

Otherwise, who will help him with those extremely troublesome official duties!

"Bronya, you just lack confidence! Even though you lost your mother and your position, you still have me!"

Xingyun walked up to Bronya, held her hands, looked into her confused eyes, and encouraged her in a gentle tone.

"I can completely replace your mother and be your supporter..."

"But I...can't do anything..."

"Bronya, you are an indispensable existence in my future blueprint!"

Being gazed at affectionately by Xingyun's eyes as brilliant as gemstones, Bronya felt as if she was imprisoned and could not take her eyes off him.

His face was so close! Her heart had been pounding since just now. If this continued, she would definitely faint!

Why does Xingyun want her to stay so much?

It was obvious that with his abilities, he didn't need a waste like her.

Could it be that...he...likes me?

Bronya, who was full of doubts, suddenly felt enlightened when she thought of this possibility.

After all, a useless vase like her is not worthy of being Xingyun's secretary!

"Please! If Bronya wasn't there, I would..."

Now Xingyun held her hand tightly, and his reluctant eyes further proved that her guess was correct!

"I, I understand. I will stay..."

A shy blush appeared on the girl's cheeks again. Being stared at with such intense passion, let alone asking her to stay, even if he proposed to her, Bronya would probably be unable to resist accepting it...

It’s not that she is weak-willed, but the beauty in front of her already has the “violence” that can be called a weapon!

Even if it was someone else, Bronya didn't think anyone would refuse his request.

"Then we have a deal! Bronya, you must stay by my side forever!"

"One, a lifetime?!"

Bronya instinctively took a step back, but was forcefully pulled back by Xingyun.

Looking at his unyielding attitude, Bronya could clearly feel her body temperature rising rapidly.

Sure enough, this is a confession to her!

"I...I know."

"kindness!"

After getting the answer he wanted from Bronya, Xingyun showed a satisfied smile. As soon as he let go of Bronya's hand, she held it tightly with her fingers interlocked!

At the same time, Bronya suddenly moved her body closer to him, looking up at him with a dazed look in her eyes.

Now that they have expressed their feelings to each other, can she exercise her rights as a lover?

She has been enduring since just now, and now she has reached the limit of her patience!

"Bronya?"

When Xingyun saw Bronya's loving eyes, he immediately realized that something was wrong, but the next second he felt the warm touch on her lips, and it was too late.

When Bronya found that Xingyun did not resist, she obeyed her instinct and greedily asked for more. She pressed Xingyun on the desk and began to unbutton his clothes.

Although her room was upstairs, Bronya, dominated by desire, could not wait that long!

“Stop…”

While she was taking a breath, Xingyun raised his hand to block Bronya's face from kissing him. He didn't dare to use force, for fear that he would accidentally tear the fragile body in front of him.

The red in his eyes was now as deep as thick blood, and he suppressed his blood-sucking desire with only the last bit of rationality.

My body feels like it's burning, and only the sweet, warm blood can quench this thirst...

"Xingyun? Don't you want to be here? Then let's go to the room..."

Bronya didn't notice Xingyun's abnormality. She helped Xingyun up and prepared to take him to her room to continue what was going on.

Seeing the snow-white neck so close to him and moving towards his mouth, Xingyun's last bit of rationality disappeared, and he threw Bronya to the ground.

"Woo!"

Her wrist was pinned to the ground by the sudden burst of strange force, and Bronya looked at Xingyun in confusion.

The moment her eyes met his scarlet ones, those eyes that should have intoxicated her, now inexplicably made Bronya feel afraid.

That look is like looking at a piece of delicious food...

"Xingyun?"

Bronya called his name softly, but when he didn't respond, he lowered his head and put his face close to her neck.

"ha..."

Feeling the heat on her neck, Bronya trembled and closed her eyes in fear. At the same time, she felt warm liquid dripping on the skin of her neck.

Is it saliva?

Bronya quietly opened her eyes and found that it was not saliva at all, but Xingyun biting his lips hard, and warm blood dripped onto her neck.

"Xingyun?"

"Hurry...go, I'm...in danger..."

Bronya looked at Xingyun, his expression in agony, bewildered. Her survival instinct warned her to stay away from the danger, but her womanly intuition told her that if she left, their fate might end here...

What should she do?

As soon as this question came up, Bronya had already come up with the answer in her heart.

She didn't want to see Xingyun continue to suffer, even though she knew that staying would put her life in danger!

"Are you thirsty for my blood?"
