Chapter 1605 - 513: Just How Hard Is He to Kill?

Chapter 1605: Chapter 513: Just How Hard Is He to Kill?

Zheng Zai momentarily found himself speechless.

He truly hadn’t thought of any win-win reason, resulting in a moment of silence.

The Old Principal was quite patient.

After a while, Zheng Zai managed to organize his thoughts:

"Dean Wen’s achievements in climbing the Deceit Tower are high, but in the Slaughter Tower and Desire Tower, there are undoubtedly people whose expertise, at least their level, surpasses his."

"Therefore, these people can’t replace him, because they are also important."

The Old Principal agreed but added:

"Child, are you saying you’re not important?"

Zheng Zai shook his head:

"Principal... I don’t know how to say it, but my tower climbing experience isn’t particularly good; I rely on sheer quantity to get by."

"I can feel that every time I climb the tower, I don’t achieve the best outcome. Really, every time it seems... there’s a better ending."

"But my abilities are limited, and the way I solve problems is very one-dimensional. I’m a destroyer."

"Dean Wen taught me some ways to change the game, but I’m limited by my sequence; I can only use devouring opponents to solve problems."

"I once devoured a special girl. On that level, she turned me into a gluttonous snake..."

"I clearly felt that the more I ate, the more painful it was, and that wasn’t the answer... If it were Dean Wen, he could certainly tell that girl about the true meaning of growth."

"But I can’t."

"By relying on violent devouring, I’ve been able to survive, but I feel I’m becoming more and more like a monster."

"I want to devour others’ misfortunes so that this monster... lives a bit more meaningfully. But I don’t want to devour others’ hidden futures."

"Principal, do you understand what I mean?"

Zheng Zai spoke a lot at once. Albert was quite surprised; this child, wearing a mouthguard and indeed somewhat beastly, was unexpectedly kind.

He actually knew Zheng Zai, because Wen Xishu’s friends were indeed few.

He also knew that this child’s background was very unfortunate.

Albert said:

"This is not the win-win I want. With your temperament, I believe you won’t lose yourself because of the various oddities in the Deceit Tower."

Zheng Zai surprisingly retorted immediately, without any hesitation:

"But that is incorrect! Younger Brother Wen told me there are many things in this world worth choosing what’s right!"

"I know I won’t get lost, but I can’t choose a simple and crude path all the way because of my inadequacy!"

"No, I definitely have to walk this path, but I can’t destroy others’ possibilities because I want to walk this path!"

Zheng Zai was somewhat agitated. The Old Principal was again surprised.

Zheng Zai said:

"In the future, they become all sorts of twisted monsters because their fate is predetermined, and I devour them without guilt because I end their evil!"

"But in the Deceit Tower, that’s not possible, because in the Deceit Tower, they’re worth waiting for someone better! Someone capable of truly changing their fate!"

"Younger Brother Wen, even Xu Manjin, as well as many thoughtful people, and the students of the Deceit Tower Academy are all better than me."

"If in the future, their destiny is corrected and affects me already within the Great World of the Three Towers, then I will also feel gratified."

"I am a monster, and monsters should stay where monsters belong!"

"Please, Principal, give me this opportunity!"

Albert was surprised that Zheng Zai also voiced the choice to do the right thing. He was somewhat gratified and stopped hesitating, decisively concluding:

"You’ve convinced me this time. But you and Jiang Xue will still have to wait; the time for the exchange hasn’t come."

"Also, in that place, you must strive to survive; survival is the most important. Understand?"

"You have ties in the Bunker, don’t you? Perhaps you should say your goodbyes."

Zheng Zai gratefully looked at the Old Principal. At the same time, Ah Miao’s face flashed through his mind, bringing forth some guilt.

After Zheng Zai left, Albert suddenly smiled.

He had a premonition that this child would achieve great things in the future. Needless to say, Wen Xishu has found quite a few potential talents.

...

...

Hunter City.

In a hidden place in Hunter City, Leslie was engaged in a conversation about assassination with the merchant’s envoy.

"I only wish to manage Hunter City; I can die to protect Hunter City, but you want me to kill Wen Xishu... I can’t do that."

"Qing’s strength is not weaker than mine. You should know that. She couldn’t kill Wen Xishu, can I?"

Leslie was quite clearly reluctant to participate in the hunt.

But the merchant’s envoy said:

"Leslie, everything you’ve gained has been given to you by us, you should know, you don’t have the right to bargain with us."

"In this world, many forces are vying, but only the Hunter City Commerce Association will become the ultimate victor."

"We indeed don’t want to use you either, after all, you are one of Hunter City’s pillars. But not long ago, in order to track that esteemed figure, we paid quite a price, persuading that ’Unknown’ person, which led to the loss of our commerce association’s elites—I’m not talking about the Hunter City Hunters but our association’s, you should understand."

The Unknown.

Leslie clearly felt surprised; the commerce association elite, almost all of them can be described as demigod-level beings. To persuade that Unknown... the association has indeed lost its elite, it is evident... they are planning a major move.

As for "that esteemed figure," he knows who it is. The first Legendary Hunter of Hunter City, Capricorn.

To be able to hide beside Capricorn without being discovered, probably only that "Unknown" could do it.

This is the most mysterious "God." If not for the Bunker People, no one would even know of the existence of the "Unknown."
