He...is a puppet?

Sheng Wu acted as if nothing had happened, remaining silent and just drinking fruit wine with his eyes lowered.

Because she also looked down on people like Lucius.

The room was silent for several minutes. Lucius' pupils, which were drooping and hidden under his long eyelashes, finally lifted up. He looked at Sheng Wu in a daze with subtle emotions surging in his mind.

"Lillian, you pursue power, but because of me, God has commanded you not to possess power beyond mine. Do you... also hate my existence?"

He is not stupid, he just likes to look at everything from a bright side and ignore the darkness. He feels guilty towards Sheng Wu, but has never analyzed the matter directly. He only knows that he owes her.

But Lumina's words today made him realize that he was a useless person who was detached from reality and stood on a high pedestal to point fingers at others, because he had never lived on his own.

Sheng Wu listened to his words. She wasn't stupid enough to sense the silence he was receiving. She didn't hide her thoughts, looking up at him coldly, without mercy.

"Yes, I hate your existence because you are not strong enough. Even if my strength needs to be lower than yours, you are content with the status quo, which means that my strength may not be enough to protect myself. I need to find a way to become stronger."

"Because of your cowardice and incompetence, I need to calculate so much."

"I......"

These words made Lucius' handsome face turn pale. He looked panicked and somewhat at a loss as to what to do when facing the negative emotions and disgust expressed by others.

Did he really do something wrong?

He just wanted to live a peaceful life and try his best to complete the mission given by God, but he still implicated others and brought trouble to them...
