If he weren't a board member of a conglomerate, the most suitable profession for Xu Shi would probably be a teacher.

Because this jerk loves to give others difficult questions, often big ones with only two options.

There is only one "beacon," which means that one of the Shen siblings will definitely die here today.

As for who lives and who dies, it's up to them to decide... To be honest, whether it's Shen He or Shen Qin, at this moment they would rather give the choice back to Xu Shi, because no matter what he chooses, they won't feel too guilty.

How am I supposed to choose?!

Even Xia Wuyou, an observer, felt a chill run down her spine after hearing what he said, let alone the person involved.

Is his perverse sense of humor really that excessive? Or perhaps, he always seems to prefer targeting the most vulnerable aspects of human nature...

Hmm...

Xu Shi smiled without saying a word, quietly watching the Shen siblings who looked troubled.

"...Brother, I'll give you this chance."

After a long silence, Shen Qin finally spoke first, "You've always protected me since I was little, so it's my turn this time. I said before that I'd take on all of this."

"Yes, it's a bit of a shame. We haven't been reunited for long, and things have turned out like this... Remember to avenge me, you must."

As she finished speaking, she couldn't help but choke up.

"Xiao Qin, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Shen He naturally disagreed and shook his head seriously, "If only one person can leave, then that person must be you."

"Why?"

Shen Qin asked blankly.

"Because you are stronger than me."

Shen He chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Before we reunited, how could I have imagined that my own sister could become the leader of the 'Forgotten Ones'? That's many times greater than 'Spark.'"

"On the contrary, I not only didn't help you at all, but I also made a mess of everything. Do you think I fulfilled my duties as an older brother? I wouldn't even dare to say that myself."

"So, live on with my will, Xiao Qin. You don't necessarily have to avenge me, but don't forget everything that happened today."

"elder brother!"

"Don't say anything more, be good, listen to your brother, this is the last time."

As he spoke, he resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes.

In fact, besides the factors mentioned above, there is another reason why he has become like this, which he is very unwilling to admit.

He was scared.

As the saying goes, "One should strike while the iron is hot, but the second attempt will be less effective, and the third will be exhausted." This saying applies to him as well. One or two failures may not have much of a blow to him, but being crushed by Xu Shi time and time again will eventually wear him down.

Especially this time, having exhausted all his trump cards without being able to harm the opponent in the slightest, such emotions inevitably intensified in his heart.

Perhaps, death really is the best ending for him... He admitted that this thought was somewhat selfish, because the one who survived would inevitably suffer even more.

Even so, he lacked the courage to muster the courage to retaliate against Xu Shi again.

That's settled then.

Okay, that's settled then.

"So, what's the result yet?"

Xu Shi's voice came again.

He didn't care what the Shen siblings were saying at all. It was just a lot of back-and-forth, like "you can't die, I'll die"... It's just a tired plot that you can find all over movies and TV shows. How could it be as funny as teasing the lovely Xia Xiaomao until she looked shy and adorable?

"...Okay, please let my sister go."

Shen He stood up, straightening his back as he did so. "Our feud... is over."

He certainly wouldn't admit what he truly thought: if he was going to die, he'd die standing up.

Shen Qin, standing to the side, was already sobbing uncontrollably. What could she possibly change now? The only thing she could do was listen to her brother and carry on his legacy, nothing more.

"Have you made a decision?"

Xu Shi confirmed it.

"Let's get started."

Shen He looked into his eyes and said.

"……well."

However, to his surprise, Xu Shi did not rush to make a move, but instead let out a long sigh.

Judging from his expression, it seemed as if he was the one who had been wronged.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Xia Wuyou asked in confusion.

"Nothing, I just suddenly feel really bored."

Xu Shi shook his head. "Until the last second, I was actually hoping to blow his head off with a shot, but now that it's here, I suddenly don't think it's that interesting anymore."

That's true.

As for why he felt this way, he actually knew the answer in his heart—it wasn't just Shenhe who had changed, but he himself had changed as well.

Thinking back to when he first awakened his memories, what was he then? Just a good-for-nothing young master with nothing but empty shells. Back then, whatever Shen He or others did could have truly posed a great threat to him.

But things are different now. He is now the uncrowned king of Night Sin City, a figure whose every stomp shakes the entire city. It is difficult for anyone to shake his position.

Different states of mind lead to different feelings.

It's just like playing a game—you'll be happy for a long time if you kill a monster at the beginning of v1, but when you go back to v100, you can crush the old problems in no time. You don't have to celebrate with champagne, do you?

That's roughly the idea.

"Someone even suggested that I try to turn you into a girl so I could train you into a fluffy ball or something."

He added jokingly, "Now that I think about it, I just feel like I don't have the energy for it."

Who made this suggestion?

Xia Wuyou, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded. It wasn't that such a thing couldn't be done with current technology, but the thing itself was just bizarre, wasn't it?
