Overturned Tower

The heart tightened suddenly.

With a swipe of cold sweat, it dripped slowly from the emperor's golden temples.

The "Emperor" certainly knew the person in front of him. Because all the information about him has been sent to his desktop.

Not long ago, he had just chatted with Qunqing about this person.

-godfather.

Suspected to have the psychic ability to worry. In less than three months since the start of the activity, the man who has perfectly ruled the entire lower city.

A very dangerous person.

And this person stood in front of him like this, quietly standing in his own home.

The windows and doors of the emperor's house have advanced alarm systems, but they seem to be malfunctioning... There is no alarm at all, and they remain intact and intact. Not even a sign of picking the lock...

His house has no keys at all, and uses a vein lock. Even if fingerprints can be forged, but my fingers still grow on my hand, how did the godfather get the vein data?

He didn't even look back at himself, just stood in front of the photo frame of himself and his wife with his hands behind his back. It's only five steps away from me.

The godfather turned on the TV on purpose, just so that he could know that there was someone in the house as soon as he opened the door.

At this moment, the emperor deeply realized... that he was indeed getting old.

If he was young enough, the emperor might sneak past without a sound and grab the godfather by the throat.

He had a bad temper back then.

When he was young, he held a sharp blade, a submachine gun, and a shield... Without awakening psionic powers, he dared to attack the TV station guarded by eight kidnappers alone. Today, under the maintenance and strengthening of technology—or money regardless of the cost—the emperor's body is stronger and healthier than before.

Today's emperor can easily charge with two heavy machine guns, which has basically reached the limit of physical strength that humans can possess.

But the godfather was right in front of him, but he didn't dare to step forward.

It's not because he's afraid of his own life or death, but because he's afraid that Bingshui will be killed because of his rage.

The news of Bingshui's assassination completely terrified the emperor... He didn't know what the godfather's hole card was that he dared to appear in front of him. up.

The emperor didn't dare to make a move at all, and he didn't even dare to show hostility in front of the godfather.

"Speaking of which, I don't think I've seen your wife on the news. She's not at home either...Did she go out?"

The godfather turned around slowly: "Or, did something happen to her?"

"...she's dead."

The emperor clenched his hands into fists, stood still on the spot and said in a deep voice, "She died more than ten years ago.

"Die was out in the middle of the night and got into a shootout with two gangs of trash from downtown.

"In those days, the reputation of the lower city was not so vicious. The night in the upper city was not so dangerous, neither the veil of ignorance nor the eternal reincarnation. There were no gangs, and all the uncoded people still fought on their own... But The mercenaries have gathered together to form an organization. The ones who killed my wife were the two mercenary regiments that I had already destroyed."

"What a surprise."

The godfather shrugged. "I've never heard of it—people even thought your wife was alive, just in a low-key way. Incognito."

"Because I don't want people to know that my wife was killed."

The emperor said calmly: "I have tortured those mercenaries a long time ago. They don't remember that they killed such a woman. Only a few of them still have the memory, but they are sure that they never took revenge on me.

“But I know that people don’t think that way. They’re fantasizing about bigger stories where someone’s taking revenge on my family for my stupidity.

"If people really believed stories like that, there would be constraints on the righteousness of heroes.

"Although we heroes are all professionals, we act for money and fame...professional heroes. But the moment anyone becomes a hero, he must be selfless, shining, and selfless.

"If people are afraid of retaliation and dare not act, that is cutting off the root of good deeds."

"So you...would rather swallow this pain yourself, and never tell anyone about it? You even pretended that your wife was still alive...Even this photo is not a portrait, but a recent synthetic photo."

"Because I also occasionally have some network shows that need to be filmed at home."

The emperor said slowly: "I don't mind my address being leaked out. But if people judge from the details that my wife has died a long time ago...whether she died of illness or was killed, it will create an image of the role of 'emperor' shaken."

"So although you have a high income, you have never found a servant or a housekeeper... Your wife has passed away for so long, and there is no rebirth."

The godfather sighed: "It's all about worrying that the truth of that incident will be exposed, isn't it?"

"...At first, I didn't think too much about it."

The emperor's voice was low and distressed: "I just thought that people should not be afraid of the way of 'heroes'.

"But later I realized that I dug a hole for myself. A hole that is difficult to fill."

This man whose status is equivalent to the "Chairman" in the lower city, and whose standpoint is completely opposite to his own... for some reason, he can make the emperor confide his heart in a rare way.

After personally contacting the godfather, the emperor always had a strange feeling... Although the man in front of him seemed to be indulging in darkness, he was not a bad person.

There seemed to be light shining on his body-it was a temperament that followed morality.

The emperor had seen such qualities in countless young men who had just become heroes, but they were quickly exhausted and extinguished. But in the Godfather, this kind of temperament is so strong... It is almost no worse than Ultramarine, maybe even stronger.

The emperor believed in his instinct when meeting people, and the number of people he came into contact with on a daily basis could not be counted by investigation, and could only rely on instinct... Fortunately, it rarely made mistakes.

It is precisely because the godfather is a villain in his standpoint and a righteous man in his heart—at the same time, he is also an irresistible and powerful enemy that the emperor dared not attack or provoke, so it is possible for him to say so many words when he first met.

"You did the right thing, Monsieur Emperor."

The godfather said gently: "It's all the same as when you founded the Hero Club... because the elf directors basically don't care about anything, and the human directors dare not act too much, and the other executives of the head office are even more concerned about everything. Benefits and achievements are the center, only you heroes are unfettered while possessing power.

"That's why you opened the Hero Club with five of your friends back then, hoping to take care of injustice... This is the original intention of the Hero Club."

"I still have no regrets."

replied the emperor.

He wasn't surprised that his godfather would know about such things, since he mentioned it in his memoirs.

"Even those heroes have fallen?"

"That doesn't matter," the emperor said frankly without any remorse after swallowing the harsh words, "I think my path is correct.

"It's about getting people excited when they do good things... thinking that their actions are good and rewarding. That way, there will be more and more heroes.

"You can't believe in the kindness that bursts out of people's hearts. It's just a very small, momentary spark. It is necessary to establish a perfect system so that people who do good can get rich rewards—whether he is a really good person or not. As long as he is willing to continue doing good things, that's enough."

Even working with villains who steal the world and deceive the world ~www.NovelMTL.com~ The emperor can bear it.

If he did not reveal his true nature until his death, perhaps the emperor could help him conceal the truth after his death.

"The profession of 'hero' must not be kept pure. In that case, the standard will only become stricter and the circle will become smaller and smaller. It will only make people point fingers at good deeds, rate heroes' achievements, and comment. ..."

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Some people think that a hero should be a title of honor.

"And I think it should be a career—a good job to do for the rest of your life.

"That's why I implemented the professional hero system."

He looked at the godfather and asked back: "Are you interested in coming to Uptown to become a 'hero', Mr. Godfather?

"If it were you, maybe you could become the first hero belonging to the 'uncoded' and change the living conditions of the uncoded...maybe."
