Chapter 1386: Heroes Appreciate Heroes
To judge whether a person is a fool or not, you have to see whether he is decisive enough in major issues.
This is not a question of being soft-hearted or not, but a question of whether you are smart enough and whether you can analyze the consequences carefully enough. It sounds easy to cut the Gordian knot, but in fact not everyone can do it.
Cruelty is one thing, wisdom is another.
There is no doubt that the Dragon Emperor is a fool. At this point, what he should do is to kill Lei Zhen first, even if it means getting killed himself, to solve the biggest problem in his heart.
Only after Lei Zhen died did he have the opportunity to go back and regain control of the prominent family.
It's a pity that this guy is not smart enough. He always thinks that he has a chance only if he is alive, but in fact, many times opportunities are won with one's life.
Putting aside the opportunity just now, when he was still at Shenlong Peak, he should have done something more thorough and eradicated Lei Zhen completely.
Kill all those who can be killed, and cripple those who cannot be killed, and fight hard.
If we had really done that, we wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
He threw away his two best chances. How smart could he be? He played a hand full of good cards so badly. It was only because he was once the Dragon King, otherwise he would have died countless times.
"Honestly, I don't want to see you suffer like this, because heroes appreciate heroes!" Lei Zhen said in a deep voice, "Perhaps you think I'm insidious, cunning, and ruthless, but when facing a true hero, I always maintain the utmost respect, even if they are my enemies."
His words were spoken with great sincerity, comparing the Dragon Emperor to a hero, and a hero he respected, and he held him high.
This is skillful flattery and very useful.
"That sounds nice, do you think I'm a fool? Lei Zhen, you and I are sworn enemies!" said the Dragon Emperor coldly.
"Yes, you are right." Lei Zhen nodded.
He thought the Dragon Emperor was a fool. If he was any smarter, he wouldn't have played himself into this state. Even if he lost in the end, he wouldn't lose all his fortune.
At worst, we can still guard Shenlong Peak, so there is still some chance.
It’s not like now, where people go to church to be dogs for others and dream of fighting back one day.
So Stephanie could hardly bear to listen any longer. She had seen stupid people, but she had never seen a stupid person so cute. It was simply an insult to the average human IQ.
"Father-in-law, let me ask you a question. What is your status in the church?"
"You don't need to worry about it!"
"I don't worry about it, but with your wisdom and ability, you're definitely going to be a cardinal, or even Pope! A prominent family is much more complicated than the Church. You can rule the world there, let alone the Church."
This is so well said and so touching.
He induced the Dragon Emperor's dissatisfaction to the greatest extent possible, picked up the wine jug and took a big gulp to vent his dissatisfaction with his current status.
A missionary is not a bishop, let alone a cardinal.
He is proud and confident, but unfortunately after coming here he can only be a missionary.
To put it nicely, he handles various affairs for the church. To put it bluntly, he is just an employee, and a slave who has to do whatever he is told to do.
"This isn't right. It's not right for you, and it's a humiliation for me, too." Lei Zhen scowled. "No matter what, you were once the Dragon Emperor, representing the highest authority in the East! Whether you admit it or not, I'm still your brother-in-law, your de facto son-in-law..."
"That's enough, shut up! I don't need your pity no matter what I've become. Think about yourself. Even if I can't kill you today, it doesn't mean you can live long!"
The Dragon Emperor was furious. He put down the wine jug and stood up to leave.
"You still want to kill me? Is this the only hatred you have for me? Dragon Emperor, are you an idiot? If you don't mess around, how can you kill me?"
"With your current status as a missionary? I only need one word, and you'll be reduced to a corpse! How many times do I have to say it before you understand my good intentions? I don't want you to live such a miserable life. I don't want to see a hero grow old, and I don't want to see the pride of the East be humiliated like this!"
"You should know that I, Lei Zhen, am not a soft-hearted person, but why should I let you go? It's not that I don't dare to kill you. In fact, wiping you out completely is the only way to put an end to it all. But I think you are a hero, the best opponent in my life, and I don't want to live in loneliness every day..."
Stephanie, who was sitting next to her, lowered her head and tried hard to suppress her laughter.
She finally realized that this man's insidiousness was beyond description and had long exceeded the secular definition of insidiousness. If he wanted to kill someone, he would definitely do his utmost to destroy their heart.
The Dragon Emperor is his best opponent?
Stephanie admired Lei Zhen's ability to talk nonsense. If she guessed correctly, she, as a man, had no rivals at all.
With such powerful strength, yet he pretends to be weak, who can beat him?
"well……"
The Dragon Emperor sighed deeply and looked at Lei Zhen with complicated eyes.
At the same time, the murderous aura on his body gradually disappeared, and he finally sat down again, picked up the wine jug and drank it wildly.
What else can I say?
There is nothing more to say, because what they said is the truth.
When dealing with losers, one must eradicate them completely. He did not think that Lei Zhen was merciful, but rather knew that this guy was insidious and ruthless.
"Father-in-law, we can have a good talk."
"What's there to talk about? The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy."
"No, I never thought of you as a gangster, and you have to believe that I am sincere, otherwise I won't talk to you at all because there is no point."
“…”
With Lei Zhen's tireless efforts, the Dragon Emperor finally agreed to have a good talk.
It hurts, but after all, I have given him so much face, and I don’t have anything that can impress him. Since he wants to talk, let’s talk.
Stephanie avoided it, and the two men with a complicated relationship sat together, drinking a glass of wine each, talking about life, ideals, and emotions.
"Hey, wife, do you want to talk to your brother?" Lei Zhen called Long Shu.
"My eldest brother?"
"Yes, I just happened to meet the Dragon Emperor. You two brothers can have a chat."
"Okay, thank you, husband."
“…”
Every step is handled very well. At the end, Long Shu and Long Huang have a chat, no matter whether it is about family matters or other things, using the family affection to connect them.
Even if the Dragon Emperor is a selfish villain, he must be moved to be able to talk to his sister and hear the voices of his wife and children in this situation, right?
After talking on the phone for nearly an hour, the Dragon Emperor returned the phone to Lei Zhen and let out a long sigh facing the starry sky.
"Lei Zhen, thank you."
"You're being so formal. Although we were once enemies, we are now truly family... As for Wu Mei, I can only say sorry. I'm the same person as you. I'll grab whoever I like. I just don't know your story."
"Forget it, a man should have a wife. From now on, I'll leave them to you."
The Dragon Emperor holds the grassland on his head, pretending to be free and easy.
But who can say this is not grace?
Letting go of resentment and helping others is also a virtue!
