"Yes, Li Fu is my subordinate who does the dirty work for me."

"But which of the wealthy and powerful families, the royal aristocracy, doesn't have these subordinates who do dirty things?"

"And there are more than just one or two."

"There are so many bounty hunters. Do you think they all make a living on their own?"

"Without people like us, most of you bounty hunters wouldn't be able to find work and would starve to death!"

Xia Chujian tilted his head and said with a sigh, "I saw someone say on Starnet that if capitalists don't hire workers, the workers will starve to death."

"If the landlords don't rent their land to the peasants to cultivate, the peasants will starve to death."

"Now I actually heard someone say that if it weren't for you filthy, wealthy, royal families, and nobles, we bounty hunters would starve to death!"

"Hahahaha! I'm not even twenty years old! I've never seen anything like this!"

"Tan Tai Jing, ah, Tan Tai Jing! Is there nothing else in your mind except that lofty throne?"

Tan Tai Jing sneered and said, "As long as I have the throne, I have everything."

"Before I get the throne, I don't need anything else."

"I don't actually have that many worldly desires."

Xia Chujian nodded: "That makes sense. If you weren't so vicious and mean, we would still have something in common."

"But unfortunately, you're too ruthless... In order to achieve your own goals, you leave no room for others to survive."

"If you don't give others a way to live, others will naturally not give you a way to live."

"Let me ask you, why did you kill Sister Cai and Song Mingqian?"

Tan Tai Jing looked surprised: "Who? I've never heard of these two names."

Xia Chujian raised her eyebrows: "Not you? Impossible..."

She rolled her eyes and understood the truth.

Perhaps in front of this almighty Crown Princess, Sister Cai and Song Mingqian are just ants that cannot be any smaller.

When you kill an ant, or even a colony of ants, do you care what their names are?

Xia Chujian took a deep breath, suppressing the anger that was about to burst out of his chest, and said as calmly as possible: "They are two teammates from our Night Hunter team."

"Not only did you have them killed, you killed their entire family."

"Why?"

"They don't even know your relationship with Li Fu, let alone your true identity!"

Tan Tai Jing suddenly realized, "So it was your two useless teammates..."

"They are so insignificant. I only met them once at your house that day, and I still can't remember their names."

"You have to know that it is the greatest honor of their lives for them to have me personally order their execution."

"After all, not everyone can make a mark in the heart of a princess like me."

Tan Tai Jing spoke without hesitation, not even trying to hide her condescending attitude that looked down on all living beings as ants.

Xia Chujian's mouth twitched when he heard this.

This princess is really domineering to a certain extent.

But if you think about it, it's not surprising.

After all, the little Baron Fan she met that year was so arrogant that he treated civilians like consumables and killed them at will.

After all, Tan Tai Jing is the emperor's daughter, and the crown princess who is the first in line to the throne.

From her perspective, it was natural for her to think, say, and even do this.

Unfortunately, Xia Chujian is not the Crown Princess, nor is she in that circle. She cannot empathize with the Crown Princess's actions, and of course she cannot feel the same way.

She could empathize with Sister Cai, Song Mingqian, and the millions of ordinary civilians who could only resist with their lives in the face of pressure from imperial power, nobles, genetic evolvers, and remnants.

Xia Chujian was furious when he heard this. He slapped Tan Taijing again and said, "Stop wasting time and get to the point!"

"Why did you kill Sister Cai and Song Mingqian? And you wanted to kill their entire family!"

Xia Chujian didn't slap Tan Tai Jing as hard as the previous two times. It wasn't because she felt sympathy, but mainly because she was worried that if she hit Tan Tai Jing too hard, she would be unable to speak, and then the loss would outweigh the gain.

Tan Tai Jing was beaten so hard that her teeth almost came loose.

In her heart, she had already sentenced Xia Chujian to the cruel death of Lingchi, but on the surface, she said calmly: "Kill me if you want to. Do I need a reason to kill someone?"

Xia Chujian said: "Of course it is necessary. Not only is it necessary, but your reason must be very important!"

"Otherwise, in your eyes, everyone in the world is an ant, so why did you pick on these two ants?"

"Furthermore, these two ants know you. They even signed Li Fu's will as witnesses. And you say they are not important to you?"
