I'm bad, but players love me

He dropped his smile and asked directly, "It would be ridiculous to say you have no ambition. I imagine your brothers and sisters were all cheering for you beside Mani, the God of Machinery, when you said you just wanted to live a simple life."
When it comes to killing his mother and brother, Fati is much more cruel than Setash.
Setash only killed four people who were related to him by blood, but Fati even killed the housekeeper who grew up with her.
Not only was she the only one who died in the family, but she also swallowed up many of her relatives, and even wiped out her aunt's family.
But Fati didn't care about this at all. She was just waiting for Setash's next move.
For Setash, if this were to come to light, he would never be able to hold his head up high in his life. But for Fati, this would only make people feel awe towards her, and secretly wonder why she didn't have anyone she could marry.
"It's true that I killed those people, but that doesn't affect my desire to live a good life, right?" Fati asked.
"So, it's really a challenge to get a profit-oriented guy like you to join us."
Fati didn't respond and just left the sentence hanging, obviously trying to save Setai's face.
Setais knew what kind of person Fati was.
Without seeing the rabbit, the eagle will not be released. Without real benefits in his hands and real handles in the hands of others, Fati will never choose to join him.
But before the good news he had been waiting for arrived, Setash decided to give Fati an "appetizer" first.
"Sir Fati, you can indeed choose not to join us. But I hope you can sincerely hope that we can win."
Without waiting for Fati to reply, Setash asked himself, "Why? Because if we lose, whether you join us or not, you will be buried with us. Only if we win can you survive. Of course, the benefits after this will depend on your attitude."
"Heh," Fati chuckled. "I'd like to hear how you'll drag me into this mess after you lose. Oh, and don't let the city lord, who's still old and blind, notice that you're biting people without permission."
"Remember, your good friend Mina?"
Fati was stunned when he heard this and took a deep breath, "She has joined you."
This was an affirmative sentence. She didn't even think of questioning it, because as a good friend, she knew this very well - Mina would definitely do such a thing - rushing into the abyss without any discussion.
She had to try hard to calm herself down so as not to show her embarrassment and anger in front of Setash.
As expected, she knew that an empty-headed idiot like Mina would definitely cause trouble for her.
"This is really shocking news." Fati said gritting his teeth.
It was over. What was she supposed to do? The entire aristocratic community knew that she and Mina were close friends, and their relationship was incredibly close. How could they possibly be on different sides?
No one would believe it!
What's more, if Saitaishi lost, in such a big act of treason, the city lord would definitely "rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go", and then he would have to die, and become an unjustly killed ghost along with that damn Mina.
Setash was very happy to see that he finally had the upper hand in this conversation. He relaxed, propping up his chin with one hand, tilted his head slightly and said, "But it is indeed good news, isn't it?"
Next, we just need to wait for news from Luo Lan.
In any case, as long as Mina is not dead, he will definitely win. Even without talking about other things, just being able to win over a sinister villain like Fati is enough to make back his investment.
Just at this moment, a servant came over and announced, "Lord Luo Lan is here."
"It's already afternoon, and she slept for a really long time." Setash teased, then waved his hand for someone to come in.
Luo Lan didn't just sleep until now, but had been unconscious since early morning. As soon as he woke up, he rushed over to be scolded.
When she thought about having to report to Lord Setash that dozens of her servants had died and a noble like Mina had been sacrificed, as if the victory had been achieved in exchange for the lives of those civilians, at that moment, she almost wanted to follow Mina.
Mina, please come back, Mina, how can I live without you? How can I be the only one being scolded?
He was just threatened by the ELO commander with a smile in the morning, and now he has to come here in the afternoon to atone for his sins to Lord Setash.
I should just endure this kind of human suffering that requires me to suffer from both ends, but you tell me that I have to endure it twice in one day. Isn’t that a bit too much?
Luo Lan walked up to Setash with a bitter face and a wronged look on his face. "Good morning, Your Excellency Setash, and good morning, Your Excellency Fati."
Why wasn't Fati here? Hadn't she always been a neutral party? Could it be that Lord Setash had already won her over?
"Why are you the only one reporting? Where is Mina?" Setash looked behind Luo Lan and asked curiously.
What happened? Why didn't Mina come?
He tried his best to suppress the uneasiness rising from deep within him.
Currently, Mina was the most important part of his plan. This importance didn't mean she was truly that valuable, but rather that she was the most fundamental part of his plan.
It is important precisely because of the foundation.
As long as Mina is there, it doesn’t matter whether we can capture the rioting civilians or not. We can always find someone to pretend.
By then, Mina can return to the center of the aristocratic circle, Setash can prove his ability, and can naturally bring Fati under his command.
This is a great way to kill three birds with one stone.
But Luo Lan's shivering look, not knowing what to say, made Setaishi's heart sink a little bit.
Yes, of all people, he was the only variable he couldn't pin down—Yun Shuo. Could it be that he had done something again?
"Tell me, what's going on?" Setash didn't care that Fati was still beside him at this time, and turned to Luo Lan and asked sternly.
Luo Lan's nearly prepared words suddenly faltered, and he could only sob and reply, "Originally, we were almost capturing those civilians, and then that ELO suddenly showed up and killed all my servants, and then... and then..."
She subconsciously wanted to conceal her conversation with Yun Shuo. After all, Mina was already dead, and it was impossible for her to come up and say that she had betrayed someone.
So, she took a breath through her tears and continued, "Then, Mina suddenly appeared. Then, the commander threatened us to send him out of the noble district, and then suddenly killed... Mina!"
As she spoke the latter part, her voice suddenly became louder, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
In fact, she was not crying because of Mina's death. She was simply crying because she recalled the horrific scene.
Fati didn't know whether to be happy that he had survived the ordeal or sad that his friend had passed away. Tears were streaming, but in his heart he was feeling relieved.
Mina, Mina, it’s a good thing you died quickly, otherwise, it would be the two of us waiting to die together.
Don't worry, I, Fati, will definitely build you the largest, most luxurious and most aesthetically pleasing tombstone. I hope you can be by the side of the God of Machinery and bless me with such good luck in the future.
Saitaishi suddenly felt numb. He trembled and said, "Tell me more details. Why did Yun Shuo ask you to send him out of the city? Is it because he's the commander of ELO?"
Why are you being so mean to me? If you have the guts, go and be mean to the commander! Luo Lan thought rather unconvincedly.
You talk as if you are not afraid yourself. I don't know who is the person who has been delivering orders to others after being scared by them before.
"Mina has something on her that the commander has."
At this moment, Luo Lan had no idea that he had unknowingly become accustomed to referring to the ELO commander as simply "the commander."
But what Luo Lan didn't realize, someone else would realize it for her. Saitaishi sneered, "Just call him commander-in-chief, right? What? Lord Luo Lan is also interested in joining their ELO organization? What's the handle?"
"No, no." Luo Lan quickly denied, "The evidence is that she resold weapons to ELO."
"What else? Tell me all at once." Saitaishi lost his patience. "With so many civilians, don't you know how to leave one or two behind? Don't you have any idea of tact?"
Luo Lan quickly defended himself, "There are no civilians. They are all members of the ELO organization."
Hearing this, Saitaishi stared at Luo Lan in surprise, "Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
Why are they all like Mina, not believing it? Luo Lan felt wronged, but Yun Shuo wasn't here this time, so she had to explain herself: "Commander, bah, the ELO commander said that all the people here are theirs, and they all admitted it."
No, they admitted that they are members of the ELO organization, so they are members of the ELO organization, right?
Is your brain really so smooth that even the slightest groove can't exist? Then, with your constant "Commander" and "Commander," wouldn't you still be a typical ELO player?
Setaishi was almost so angry at her weird logic that he vomited three liters of blood.
Good man, it seems I've been busy doing so much, doing things here and there. I've been so busy but nothing has happened. You've only taken advantage of my ELO, right?
I gained nothing and was almost pissed off to death here, while you gained a ton of people through ELO and even killed a noble there to celebrate.
"By the way," Luo Lan added, as if feeling his leader wasn't angry enough to the point of being pissed off to death, "the ELO commander also asked me to bring you a few words."
"explain."
"Next time you have any plans, you should discuss them with the Commander himself. After all, we are allies. For example, if you had discussed this with the Commander, we would have achieved perfect cooperation. Otherwise, you wouldn't have ended up with such a complete loss."
Chapter 77: Yun Shuo is a kind-hearted person (true)
Fati's face, once tense as a bowstring, now relaxed completely, as if relieved from a heavy burden. His lips curved upwards in a faint smile, as if mocking Setash's wishful thinking.
Her legs naturally crossed, and her tense waist relaxed, forming a comfortable but not very elegant posture. However, she knew that Satesh had no intention of arguing with her about these details at this moment.
Her fingertips gently played with the hair that fell on her shoulders, and she looked as nonchalant as a bystander. Even the death of her friend did not make her sad for too long.
She quickly changed her mood and just leisurely appreciated everything that was happening before her.
Mina, you're so lucky to die. Otherwise, it wouldn't be Seth who's panicking now, but me.
Thinking of this, the corners of Fati's mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, his eyes fixed on Setash.
Just one look at him biting his lips, with veins bulging on his forehead, and the way he was obviously trying hard to restrain his inner anger but not daring to explode easily, was enough to make Fati laugh.
At the same time, her mind was working rapidly, carefully analyzing every word the two people in front of her had said, trying to dig out more useful information from it.
Yun Shuo? Such a familiar name.
A glint of understanding flashed in her eyes - wasn't that the man who had appeared at the banquet hosted by Setash before - one of the people who pushed Mina into an irretrievable situation.
Of course, if Yun Shuo is called a "pusher" just for this incident, it would be a bit unfair to him.
Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that from the beginning to the end, it was Mina who took the initiative, deliberately made things difficult, and played people to death step by step.
The only unexpected thing was that she was the one who ended up dead.
Yun Shuo simply chose the third option besides retreating and swallowing his anger at that time. Judging from the superhuman observation and memory abilities he displayed at that time and his effortless cheating skills, it was normal for Mina to be played around by the other party.
Ultimately, it was Mina's own "east wind" that ultimately became the final catalyst for her to get into trouble. Ella simply played along and added fuel to the fire.
Therefore, it's no exaggeration to say that Yun Shuo was a genuine, perfect victim. Furthermore, not only did he do nothing wrong, but after sensing Ella's intentions, he managed to turn his victory into a draw between the two of them, which in turn helped Mina somewhat.
Fati doesn't want to brag, but her ability to judge people is truly amazing.
When Yun Shuo only appeared in front of everyone with the common image of a "climber on the rich and powerful", Fati had already keenly noticed that this person was different from others.
After all, who would try to curry favor with powerful people and then ignore them?
No matter how the times change, those who try hard to get into a certain circle will always be easily seen through by others.
They often huddle in dark corners where no one pays attention, living in fear that their behavior will cause dissatisfaction from others; even if they try hard to integrate into the surrounding environment, they can always feel the insurmountable gap between themselves and others; on the surface they appear to be versatile and can get along with everyone, but in fact they are servile, fawning, and servile everywhere.
Even if they are also well-dressed and every piece of clothing on their body is very expensive, often costing tens of thousands, no one will look at them with recognition, just like when people walk on the street, they will never care whether a weed in the green belt lacks nutrients.
Even if they tried their best to squeeze into the ranks of those people, they would only stand out like a chicken among a flock of cranes. At a glance, one could easily see through their seemingly impregnable disguise and the fear and anxiety deep in their hearts that was difficult to conceal.
But Yun Shuo's attitude was completely different from theirs. He just sat there, a stranger, yet he had become the focal point of everyone's attention, and everyone's gaze involuntarily turned towards him.
Compared to the chicken standing out among the flock of chickens, he is more like an eagle that accidentally strayed into the flock of chickens.
At that time, Fati inexplicably had a feeling: it was not Yun Shuo who should take the initiative to cater to those nobles, but that group of nobles should be proud to be able to cater to him.
It’s not that they don’t care about him, but that he doesn’t care about them. He doesn’t care about these nobles, any one of whom can suppress him.
Perhaps deep in Yun Shuo's eyes, these beasts who look bright and beautiful on the surface are just a group of edible chickens that only know how to forage on the ground and wait for their masters to slaughter them for their enjoyment.
But he was just an eagle that had strayed into this place. He had not even suffered any injuries, and his wings were still as strong as ever. He could fly high with just a thought, leaving these chickens with nothing but to look up at him for the rest of their lives.
At first, Fati roughly thought that it was Ella who gave Yun Shuo this inexplicable courage, allowing him to look at everyone without fear.
Later, when she saw Ella unconsciously acting coquettishly and catering to Yun Shuo, she was surprised and puzzled.
Especially when facing Ella's humility, Yun Shuo acted nonchalant and even dared to jump a few times on the opponent's baseline. Fati felt that the opponent's confidence might be that Ella had long become Yun Shuo's slave who could not be driven away?
After all, Yun Shuo's appearance is there, and he has no shortage of ways to please others. If he wants to make someone fall in love with him so much that he can't drive them away, it is not unbelievable.
Even if that person is the city lord Ella.
But in any case, this series of abnormal actions has confused Fati.
Until today, when she learned that Yun Shuo was actually the commander of ELO, her doubts were only half resolved.
No wonder, if it was ELO's commander, then nothing would be surprising.
After all, that is the ELO organization that can never be completely wiped out no matter how hard you try. It seems like each of their members has nine lives. It would be fine if they didn't care about their lives, but after one group dies, another group will come.
As their commander, it would not be surprising even if he had three heads and six arms.
However, judging from what Yun Shuo asked Luo Lan to say, although the two parties had formed an alliance, they were not completely loyal to each other, and they even had their own ulterior motives.
At least for now, it seems that Sai Taishi has no intention of taking Yun Shuo to eat meat together, and he even wants to find a place to pour the soup. Yun Shuo naturally can't stand it, so he directly overturned the table, pointed at Sai Taishi's nose and told him, "If you don't let me sit at the table, then no one can eat."
What Fati could see, Setai could certainly see as well.
Not only did he see it, but according to the current situation, he also had to straighten the table that Yun Shuo had overturned, wipe up the soup that was spilled on the floor, and clean up the mess that Yun Shuo had left him.
Moreover, he couldn't show any complaints to Yun Shuo, because no matter how you looked at it, this time it was his fault, and if they had just discussed it, it wouldn't have been like this.
