Chapter 1916: Your Own Choice

~7 min read 1,207 words

"Even if I am crushed to pieces, so what? Among us ordinary people, there are few who can choose their own destiny; I count as one." Moli said leisurely, "So I feel that even if I am crushed to pieces, it is nothing to be blamed for."

"Fine then, that is your own choice." Chen Yu said indifferently, "Just don't regret it when the time comes."

"I won't regret it; I have never regretted my own decisions." Moli smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Chen, have you firmly taken Qiongsi's side?"

"They have what I want," Chen Yu said.

"What you want, the Shilaike Family has, and the Roy Family should also be able to provide for you." Moli said, "Why did you choose Shilaike?"

"Because what I want, only the Shilaike Family has." Chen Yu glanced at her.

"But I still feel that the Roy Family is powerful; they are the most powerful in the Western World." Moli said, "Even some Heads of State obey their words."

"Powerful? Do you have a misunderstanding of these things?" Chen Yu laughed, "Possessing that kind of weapon, they are indeed powerful among many factions."

"But that thing is only a deterrent. If that weapon were activated by them, they themselves would also die. Do you really think they would engage in this kind of mutually destructive tactic?"

"I cannot be sure of that." Moli shook her head slightly, "But that weapon represents the ultimate power in this world."

"Haha, ultimate power? A frog at the bottom of a well." Chen Yu laughed loudly, "Your perception is narrow, this is not your fault, because you have not come into contact with more powerful forces."

"What is a more powerful force?" Moli asked.

"The power of destruction is limited after all, but there is a type of person whose destruction does not need to have much destructive force; they only need to wipe their hand."

Chen Yu said indifferently, "Then the people he wants to eliminate, every trace of their existence in this world will be easily wiped away."

"As small as an ant, as large as a star, they can be wiped away with a wave of a hand or a single thought. Isn't such a person ten thousand times stronger than the so-called bullshit weapons of the Roy?"

"And for this type of person, humanity's ultimate weapons do not cause them any harm. If you came into contact with these people and witnessed their true strength, would you still think their weapons are the ultimate power?" Chen Yu smiled.

Moli stared blankly at Chen Yu; truthfully, this was the first time she had heard of the power Chen Yu described.

"Does Mr. Chen mean, gods?"

"Not gods, but a type of person who exists in the world, though in the eyes of ordinary people, they might be god-like existences." Chen Yu shook his head, "So it is normal that you cannot understand."

"Are you this type of person?" Moli looked up at Chen Yu.

"I suppose so, though I have not reached the strongest level. That weapon could indeed cause me harm, but in front of me, they should not have the chance to use that weapon." Chen Yu said indifferently, "I know you are more inclined toward the Roy Family."

"Simon of the Roy Family has also given you enough benefits, but I hope their family and I can remain at peace; otherwise, I could wipe them from this world with a wave of my hand."

Chen Yu's voice was filled with killing intent, making Moli tremble involuntarily.

"Sorry, I scared you just now." Chen Yu smiled slightly, withdrawing all the aura from his body.

Only then did Moli let out a sigh of relief; her heart was pounding wildly, and she could not calm down for a long time.

The aura Chen Yu had just released with a thought had left her unable to breathe. She looked at Chen Yu with a complex expression, "I finally understand why Qiongsi's attitude toward you is so good."

"But I still don't believe that one person can possess the power to contend with the Roy Family."

"If you don't believe it, then forget it." Chen Yu sighed helplessly, "In the eyes of Simon Roy, you are nothing but a tool to be discarded after use, but I don't know where you get the confidence to think you can gain benefits from the confrontation between two great families."

"But it doesn't matter anymore. Since this is your choice, then continue with your choice."

"Mr. Chen..." Moli hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised her head.

"What is it?" Chen Yu glanced at her.

"I want to... beg you to promise me one thing." Moli thought about it seriously and said.

"Speak." Chen Yu nodded once.

"You promise me first that you will definitely be able to do this thing." Moli acted coquettishly.

"Whether I can do it is one thing, and whether I promise is another; don't get them mixed up." Chen Yu shook his head, "I roughly know what your request is, and I'm afraid I cannot do it."

"I haven't even said it yet, how do you know you can't do it?" Moli was a little angry.

From childhood to adulthood, she had been a pampered daughter of heaven, and many boys had pursued her.

As long as it was something she wanted to do, as long as she beckoned, the other party would definitely agree.

But now, it was different with Chen Yu; her privileges as a girl were completely gone.

"You want me to promise you one request, which is to save your life when you face life or death, right?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Yes, can you?" Moli nodded seriously.

"No." Chen Yu directly rejected her request.

"Why? We are both compatriots." Moli was very puzzled.

"Because your stance is different from mine. Not exposing you to Qiongsi is already my greatest tolerance. Save you? I'm not that bored." Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Someone at your level shouldn't be so petty." Moli said helplessly.

"This has nothing to do with being petty. Listen, the reason I tolerate your existence is that I find it quite interesting that an ant is caught between two elephants." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"No matter which elephant it is, if it accidentally takes a wrong step, it might trample you into meat paste, yet this ant still wants to gain benefits between the two elephants."

"Is that how you see me?" Moli's brows furrowed; she was not like that.

"Aren't you like that?" Chen Yu shook his head and said, "You had better be more careful. After all, your choice is truly not a wise one, and to both sides, you are a dispensable figure."

"But now... looking at you, it seems you think you are very important to both sides?"

"Sometimes on a scale, an ant can break the balance and tip the scale to the other side."

Moli gritted her teeth, raised her head, and said, "And I am that ant on the scale right now."

"Is that how you see yourself?" Chen Yu felt it was somewhat unbelievable; he felt that this woman seemed to have some serious illness.
