"Oh? Tell me about it." Chang Wei became interested and took a sip of the wine in front of him.
"Before I tell you this secret, I want to ask you one thing."
"you say."
"Are you the owner of that system in the novel?"
Chang Wei swirled the wine in his glass, looked at his reflection in the red liquid, and replied calmly, "I've never directly addressed this question with you. But haven't you already guessed it? Although you haven't been involved in the management of the fleet or the formulation of rescue missions for so long, judging from all the signs, isn't the answer obvious?"
Zhong Kai chuckled: "That's right! Usually, secrets like this wouldn't be shared casually even among close relatives."
"Do you blame me for not confessing to you?"
"Haha, how is that possible? If you hadn't saved me, I might have been choked out of my kidneys and died in northern Myanmar. The grass on my grave might be seven feet high by now. It would be even more impossible for me to have the strength and status I have now! I am still very grateful to you! But..."
"But as time went on, I slowly realized that there was a growing gap between you and me. You were always surrounded by so many NPC subordinates who worshipped and admired you. And even if I became more powerful, not many people around me would even look at me straight in the eye. It was as if... I was a transparent person, or an outsider..."
"Before, I just treated them as NPCs and didn't take them seriously. Until I heard those 'voices'!"
"'Voice of the Heart'? What does that mean?"
Zhong Kai didn't answer, but took another sip of his wine. Chang Wei then realized that there were four or five empty bottles lying at his feet, all of them high-end liquor! This meant that Zhong Kai had already drunk quite a bit before he arrived.
Zhong Kai continued to talk to himself, "It turns out that I have always been an outsider. It seems that it doesn't matter whether I exist or not! I abandoned my hometown and followed you, my brother, to leave the earth and continue to fight in various worlds. I thought that my life would continue to be so wonderful, but now I am beginning to feel confused... It's like I have lost my self-worth..."
Zhong Kai looked at Chang Wei with a gloomy look in his eyes. "Tell me, if I were to crush you to death here, would your system belong to me? You have to know that you don't have any extraordinary abilities and your body is weak. Even with the protection of the nanocore, I can use the Force to rip it out of your body. After you die, would it be better for me to command the Light Chaser Fleet than for you?"
Chang Wei seemed to sense the other party's murderous intent and couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief. Now, he didn't have any guards with him. If his good brother wanted to kill him, he might really succeed.
Chang Wei pretended to be calm and said to Zhong Kai, "Perhaps it was the dark side of the Force that gave you such evil thoughts. Besides, you were drunk! I'll just pretend nothing happened today! Have a good rest. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
As soon as Chang Wei stood up, Zhong Kai shook his head, half laughing and half crying, and said, "Do you think I'm joking? You don't understand! When you find out one day that everyone around you is just acting like you, deceiving you, the huge sense of loss you'll feel after learning the truth, if it were you, you'd definitely go crazy!"
Chang Wei couldn't help but take a step back: "Are you going to kill me? And then take my system?"
"What do you think?"
