Holding the Qian Bi sword and wearing streamlined armor, Chu Yunsheng took the lead to walk on a broken concrete road heroically. Yu Hanwu and Shang closely followed him behind.
The people near Chu Yunsheng quickly moved away to make way for him to pass. But those new generations were desperately trying to push forward. They had heard too many stories and rumors about the Lord Origin, but it was the first time that they were actually able to see him in person. So they had to get close to him.
However, they were somewhat disappointed. Chu Yunsheng was wearing armor, so they couldn’t see anything. But that armor looked fierce and heroic. And it was constantly revealing imposing auras, reminding the people about the hero they saw in the video.
The place Chu Yunsheng landed was not far from the center. So after passing through the crowds of young people, they finally arrived at the place that was filled with the people, who he was very familiar with.
“Brother Chu, You, I…” The first person that ran towards him was Yao Xiang. But when he came to Chu Yunsheng, he did not know why his body suddenly became very stiff and his eyes were filled with guilt and pains.
Chu Yunsheng looked at him and walked past him indifferently. At that moment, Yao Xiang’s body began to shake constantly. He tried so hard to hold back his tears.
“Brother Chu…” The next person was Jing Mouyou, whose eyes were already wet by tears, but Chu Yunsheng did not even stop in front of her for a second. He still walked past her indifferently at the same speed.
The third person, who was ready to walk towards him, suddenly stopped.
Then the rest of the people subconsciously stepped back.
Only a few people were looking at Chu Yunsheng calmly. And those people included Ding Yan – the mayor of Sky City.
Only until Chu Yunsheng arrived before Jing Ji did he finally stopped. Looking at Jing Ji’s face, tears began to appear on Chu Yunsheng’s eyes behind the mask. Because he was able to see the traces of Jing Yi from Jing Ji’s face.
After he took a deep breath and forced himself no to think too much, he glanced around coldly and said,
“Those who can make decisions, follow me! Schäfer, you come with me as well…”
….
The meeting was set up in Schäfer’s office. The debris in the room was already cleaned and the wall was already repaired. But in order to cover the new paint, Schäfer used a red curtain to cover the repaired part of the wall. So one would be able to notice anything.
The office was quite big, and there were many elegant and bright colored big oil paintings, hanging on the four sides of the room. Schäfer liked big paintings. Only luxury and classy big paintings would be able to match his one-fourth aristocracy bloodline.
But at the moment, he still felt like it wasn’t big enough. After all, Schäfer never once expected that once day so many big names would be crowded in his office. If he had known it, he would have built it two times bigger, no, three times bigger than what he had now.
Only in that way, was it able to match the name of the Turkish King. Even if those super big names didn’t really treat him seriously, at least, it would be able to match the name of the origin.
Speaking of the title the Turkish King, Schäfer didn’t have any other choices. The news regarding Chu Yunsheng wanting to name him the Turkish King, had already spread out mysteriously. He suspected that it might be done by Coline that bitch. That bitch was currently very close to the Lord Origin, so he couldn’t do anything to her. Whenever he thought about this, he would gnash his teeth in anger.
Fortunately, it was just him worrying too much. After the news was spread out, the higher-ups didn’t even have any reactions. It was just like what the Lord Origin said. Even the younger generations also didn’t come out to publicly oppose it. Moreover, not only did the leader of the moving castle not punish him but also after the leader asked him some questions personally, he was the first one to publicly acknowledge that he was the Turkish King.
Schäfer didn’t understand what his boss was thinking, and there was no way he was able to find out. His identity was extremely sensitive at the moment, standing in between two parties, even if the leader of the moving castle had some plans, he would not be able to tell him clearly. But he was still able to tell that the leader seemed to value his current position highly. Because he was constantly reminding him to help the lord Origin as much as he could.
Schäfer had spent quite some time trying to figure out what his boss wanted to do. In the end, he still came up with something.
If the Lord Origin still needed him, then he would be very useful in the conflict between all other major forces. But if the Lord Origin was no longer interested in him, then the first one that wanted to kill him, would probably be his boss.
Therefore, not only did he personally supervise the workers to repair the office, he even spent a great effort to sort out all the food and drinks. When Chu Yunsheng walked towards a white sofa, he quickly poured him a glass of wine, while “bravely” ignoring all other big names behind him.
All those people could easily kill him. But because of the man in front of him, none of them dared to do anything. In the whole room, not a single person, dared to sit down apart from Chu Yunsheng.
Therefore, it was very clear who was more important in the room.
But Chu Yunsheng didn’t plan to drink the wine that he carefully prepared. He just took a quick glance at him and then looked away.
The room was deadly silent as Chu Yunsheng glanced around at every familiar face. No one dared to speak first. It was like there was something heavy in everyone’s chest, making them hard to breathe. And as the silence continued, it only became even heavier.
“… Can I trust you all again?” Chu Yunsheng finally broke the deadly silence. He said it slowly, and the tone was filled with endless sadness and disappointment. No matter it was the person who said it or the people who heard it, at that moment, as if all the pains, sorrows, indifference and hate were turned into that sentence. It was so heavy that no one could answer it.
Saying those words was part of Chu Yunsheng’s plan. Originally, he did not want to show the real feeling inside him. However, he could not help feeling sad when he said those words.
He did not know why it would become like this. Regarding this question, he had been thinking for a very long time. But whenever he thought that he had the answer, he would have a different answer next time, and the time after that, and after that again and again, endlessly torturing him. Sometimes, he almost felt like only death could free him.
The people, who stood in this room, were the people, who he used to be familiar with. But they were also the people, who originally did not want to associate themselves with him. However, they were not the real murder of his relatives after all. Therefore, there were more pains in Chu Yunsheng’s feelings than hate when he faced those people.
It was probably because this sentence was said with Chu Yunsheng’s true feeling, many people bowed their heads down, did not dare to look at him anymore.
Humans were always creatures that could not get rid of their feelings. No matter what kind of feelings it was and no matter what kind of person they were.
In the quiet room, one person suddenly burst into tears and knelt down.
“Brother Chu, I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I’m not a man. I am a fucking coward who did not even dare to protect her. I saw her die with my own eyes. But I am still alive… alive…”
His eyes were extremely red, filling with blood vessels, and the more he spoke, the more sorrowful he was. He was almost on the verge of a mental breakdown.
“Yao Xiang!” Ding Yan, with a cold face, hissed to him sharply.
