A dimly lit room.
Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~
Blood dripped into the red wine, Gluttony smiled and didn't seem to care, taking a small sip.
Li Chen's tall and slender figure stood in front of him.
Gluttony voice rang out. "You still came."
"Fate is always like this, unpredictable and beyond my grasp."
Li Chen met his gaze with unwavering eyes, and with a slight twitch of his fingers, the desk in front of him was overturned.
One breath
Two breaths.
Gluttony closed his eyes slightly and spoke, "Child of Destiny, to be honest, I despise you."
"Your arrival shattered the peace of the City of Sin, and it shattered the peace of the world."
"If you hadn't appeared, the world might still be the same as before, but you still appeared."
"Disgust..." A ripple appeared in Li Chen's calm eyes. This world arose because of him, and the Evil Cult was stirred because of him.
It wouldn't be wrong to say that all of this was caused by his appearance.
He is the greatest evil, but everyone points the finger at the Evil Cult.
Li Chen's cold voice was devoid of any emotion. "As you wish, let it be evil."
"This world is sick and needs healing, and I am the scalpel that heals it."
"Pfft, hahaha!" Gluttony grinned and laughed, but he quickly stopped, stood up, and at this moment, the terrible state of his body was completely exposed to Li Chen.
The floating playing cards around his body were suppressing the energy flowing out of him.
Blood dripped from the deep, bone-revealing wound and fell onto the floor.
It makes a crisp sound.
"Did you know? Everyone who comes to the City of Sin can never actually leave."
"Those new lives that are born have the right to choose, but often these new lives are a tragedy in themselves. This prison is not a greenhouse, and most new lives die before they can grow up."
"And I was one of them. I was lucky. I wanted to change my destiny, and through hard work and climbing, I finally got to this position."
That's exactly why I want to kill you.
But now I've let it go.
"I don't have the courage to defy fate; I just want to live a real life. I'm tired of this gamble."
Gluttony didn't make a move. Instead, he dragged his swaying body to the glass walkway, placed one hand on the glass, and looked down at the gamblers who were still working.
He was stunned for a moment...
Li Chen walked to his side and said slowly, "The gamble isn't over yet. I can give you a new life."
Gluttony seemed not to hear.
The hand gripping the glass seemed to be exerting force.
After a long silence...
Gluttony turned to look at this incredibly young boy... no... the source of evil, and said, "Will you restore this world to its former state?"
"That harmonious world, a world free from strife, a world where there is no worry about food..."
Li Chen did not respond; his expression was obscured by the shadows. Perhaps he too was pondering the question of "the world."
Harmony... conflict... this is a will that cannot coexist.
Humans possess desires, and these desires determine a series of relationships; all human actions guide the direction of everything.
Even he himself wasn't sure if the world would be transformed into the world he envisioned.
Gluttony's eyes seemed to have dimmed considerably. "It seems you're just a pawn chosen by the world."
"The world is too big, and we are just small people... But it is precisely in this desperate era that such a wonderful world exists. I have no regrets."
"The ambitions of my youth have now become my greatest shackles. Kill me... Li Chen."
Li Chen looked at Gluttony, who was weak but whose eyes seemed to Gluttony boundless light, and closed his own eyes.
The hand went directly inside his body.
With a "bang".
Gluttony collapsed to the ground with a smile on his face.
Li Chen gently placed his body on the office chair.
At that moment, Gluttony perished.
His words deeply moved Li Chen.
Small people... Yes... They are all small people. This world is too big, and there will always be someone above you.
They were all small people struggling to make ends meet.
"The world is unfair, but that's precisely why everyone has something unique."
"Perhaps Gluttony has found its way..."
Li Chen walked out of the casino; it was still snowing outside.
The City of Sin has now returned to peace.
Gluttony, Lust, Greed, Sloth... these four are now equivalent to death.
You only need to deal with Pride, Wrath, Envy.
He no longer cares so much about power; his time is running out.
He needs a large force to deal with those Evil Cults, and these Seven Sins Authority Holders are a resource, but he won't force it, since the word "death" is right in front of him.
Whether they agree or not is their business.
Li Chen's figure disappeared into the darkness.
The next day.
After a night of cleansing, the City of Sin returned to peace.
It's as if nothing happened last night.
But one major event after another followed.
News has spread of deaths among those who suffer from Gluttony, Lust, and Envy of Authority Holder.
Many criminals in the City of Sin became excited.
Many people have begun to take an interest in the position of those in Authority Holder.
In the tavern.
Uncle Mu led the group to a private room, where they sat down and watched the wine and meat flowing down below.
Su Xian's face turned slightly red, while Su Zhe looked excited.
Mu Hen was helpless. He had long guessed his father's nature, and could only sigh helplessly.
We still haven't been able to contact Li Chen.
Uncle Mu walked over to Mu Hen with a bottle of wine, took a big gulp, and grinned, saying, "Sometimes the more anxious you are, the harder it is to get what you want."
"Why not relax?"
"What's meant to happen will happen."
Su Xian also walked over to Uncle Mu and asked, "According to last night's news, a total of three Authority Holder have died."
"Then why doesn't anyone dare to take over?"
A barely perceptible emotion flickered in Uncle Mu's eyes as he chuckled, "The emperor's throne is not one that ordinary people can sit on."
Some people only dare to observe; they wouldn't dare to take the position.
They're all waiting for the first person to reveal their ambition; that's when the real battle for control will begin.
"I might also be affected."
"But it's not a big problem."
Su Xian fell into deep thought.
If it's a battle for supremacy, then Li Chen might also appear in this war.
But how did they meet, and what were the circumstances?
Will Li Chen still accept them?
After all, he risked his life to protect us in the Battle of Canghai Pass, and in the end, he was sent to the City of Sin that.
Whether Li Chen will resent them... remains to be seen.
