I Command You to Love the People of Utopia! / I'll Bet Everything Directly!

Throughout the year, Gia and Lentimute's relationship steadily warmed up, while the latter remained completely unaware.

The latter believed that love was completely foreign to him; only the lord's orders mattered.

Gia's year of companionship was nothing but a dream to him; he neither lingered nor succumbed to it.

It was precisely because of this personality that he had never passed the Hundred Battles Elite assessment test and was unable to obtain more Power of Abundance.

Huang Cao did want good tools, but before becoming tools, he preferred to make his subordinates into real people.

This statement, though contradictory, is precisely why the Abundance Warrior are able to best utilize the power within them.

The great Utopia's Lord declared that he was raising warriors, not lunatics.

The other Abundance Warrior greatly admired Master Huang and were very similar to Lentimute in their thinking, but this group was better able to enjoy the beauty of life Lentimute.

Lentimute's current mental state can be described as paranoid, possibly due to the same condition in his parents.

Because his parents were first-generation Hundred Battles Abundance Warrior, and are still serving in the Utopia military.

If Lentimute was involved in almost every war in Utopia, then his parents were involved in everything, including the period before Huang Cao founded Utopia.

Children raised in such an environment are then abandoned by their parents in other countries to survive in the wilderness after they grow up, giving them a real taste of the differences between countries.

Therefore, after experiencing trials, Lentimute's faith in the Huang Cao was not due to brainwashing; it was true love, a love that had become unbreakable after hundreds of years of refinement.

Living with Gia was merely a task assigned by the lord...

However, Gia had long understood Lentimute's heart, so she had already prepared to risk her entire life for it.

After all, this man was too serious and couldn't hide any of his thoughts.

Having suffered heartbreak Gia had become incredibly sensitive, so the two complemented each other in a way.

Because Lentimute was not a talkative man, she served as his personal messenger at the Utopia office in Lateran.

Fortunately, due to Lateran's wariness of Utopia, Gia racial appearance had drastically changed, did not attract anyone's attention.

But some things always need to be put to rest; the question is, when should we find the right opportunity?

Because Master Huang had given them a strict order, they were not allowed to leave the office without receiving specific instructions.

This meant that Gia, who wanted to sever all ties with the past, never got the chance to confess her feelings to Lentimute.

She was almost frantic with worry.

Master Huang naturally understood Gia's predicament, and as a chess player, he naturally had to do his best to make the most of the pieces in his hand.

If you want to seduce my loyal soldiers, have you thought about what price you're willing to pay?

As a wise monarch, Huang Cao also felt that Lentimute's ideas were a bit too rigid, and even felt that they were somewhat unpleasant.

This could easily lead to a problem: what if Master Huang really has descendants in the future, finds a successor, and wants to retire and enjoy his old age?

This group could become a hidden danger, disobeying the orders of the newly appointed Utopia's Lord.

In the end, Master Huang, as a retired lord, still has to continue in his position. Only by dealing with these people properly can he truly retire. But he can't just discard them after they've served their purpose, can he?

Huang Cao believes the best faith ratio among his subordinates is as follows:

90% of the love is for Huang Cao, and the remaining 10% is used for the whole of love utopia.

The mindset of the vast majority of normal Abundance Warrior actually matches the data above.

But Lentimute is a complete believer in Master Huang, to an absurd degree.

So this guy was singled out by Huang Cao as a prime example, and he needs to be properly reformed to see if the proportion of fanaticism in his mind can be changed.

You don't need to love yourself too much, 90% is enough, and give the remaining 10% to the country of Utopia.

Huang Cao didn't want his successor to come to him crying and complaining that he had no one to take over after he retired.

At least 10% of them will try to cooperate, and perhaps with the efforts of their successors, they can also gain a place in the hearts of these fanatics.

But this is a gradual process, and Huang Cao hasn't thought that far ahead yet. After all, he hasn't even thought about the name of his future child.

Huang Cao really doesn't want to toil in this position for the rest of his life. Doing it for hundreds or thousands of years might be quite enjoyable, but after a while, he might end up like the guy in Terra who sits on the golden toilet.

Just as Gia was fretting, a phone rang at the Utopia office in Lateran.

While eating, Lentimute immediately stood up and answered the phone. The lord's majestic voice came from the other end of the line.

"You and Gia answered my call together. A year has passed, and it's time for me to give you a new assignment."

Gia sat upright, her breathing becoming somewhat heavy.

In order to win over Lentimute more easily, she spent the past year intensively studying the history of Utopia.

Therefore, Gia couldn't help but admire Huang Cao.

After all, the book portrays things in such a grand and righteous light that it's hard not to feel a sense of goodwill towards it.

Most human emotions are simple and genuine; it's hard not to like someone who truly cares about you.

Chapter 396: I command you to love the Utopians!

Instructions came from the other end of the phone from Master Huang.

"Ms. Gia, after more than a year of diligent study, you should have some understanding of the general situation of Utopia. I would like to hear your opinion."

Gia took a deep breath and replied respectfully, "Utopia is a beautiful country, but in my opinion, it still has flaws."

When she mentioned the word "flaw," she glanced at Lentimute beside her out of the corner of her eye.

The man was surprisingly quiet, as if he were listening to a fact.

Lentimute's single-mindedness doesn't mean he's stupid; he should listen quietly when necessary.

Punishment is the lord's business, not his.

Even if Gia were to denigrate Utopia to the point of worthlessness, Lentimute wouldn't be angry at all, because this isn't his home turf.

"The drawback is that we didn't conquer all of Terra; the expansion was far too slow, and we didn't bring all races back to the embrace of the Golden Tree."

Gia's answer made Master Huang smile.

This woman isn't stupid; she knows me quite well.

"That's right, Lateran is one of the countries that Utopia must conquer in the future, but now the Pope is forcing Utopia to take the initiative to wage war against this country."

Huang Cao sighed on the other end of the phone; Utopia's attempts to infiltrate Lateran were futile.

If we want to make further progress, we'll have to resort to some unethical and warlike means.

However, this doesn't align with the traditional ideals of utopia; Huang Cao is not a warmonger.

Fortunately, Lateran had many internal problems in the original storyline, such as severe racial discrimination, which was temporarily masked by the good living environment.

The commercial expansion of Huang Cao has been consistently blocked by the current pope, preventing him from controlling the country through simple economic means.

The entire country is united under the influence of religion, and the conflicts are minimized. However, having seen the plot, Master Huang naturally understands how to break through.

However, even in the storyline of the New Energy Angels, after the truth about the Sarkaz race was revealed, the resulting upheaval was still too small compared to the overall situation of the entire country.

After all, Lateran has many Liberi, who are also a problem, as this race also controls a lot of real power in the country.

Liberi doesn't understand Sarkaz, but Sarkaz doesn't discriminate against Liberi.

Huang Cao planned to use Gia as an opportunity to gradually cause the Lateran church to lose its supporters, since both Liberi and Sarkaz believed in Laterano Church.

"Gia, would you like to join Utopia? Let every place on Terra's land become the Holy City of your dreams."

"A paradise that can accommodate all races, whether infected or Sarkaz, where everyone can live together."

Huang Cao said in a very serious tone.

"I am willing, my lord. I am willing to give everything for your ideals, even if I do not need any reward."

Gia knelt on one knee, demonstrating her loyalty through her actions.

As it turns out, succubi control not only the body, but also the soul.

Even setting aside her beloved Lentimute, Gia, granted a second life, is willing to fight for the Holy City in her heart.

This has nothing to do with love; it's merely the brilliance of an ideal.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Huang Cao on the other end of the phone prepared to ask some personal questions and asked Lentimute to wait outside.

Once only the two of them were present, Huang Cao cut to the chase and asked, "Ms. Gia, do you like my soldiers?"

Gia blushed instantly upon being suddenly asked such a pointed question, but ultimately nodded and answered yes.

"But I must ask clearly, is your love merely a substitute for someone else, or is it a genuine affection from the bottom of your heart for Lentimute?"

Without hesitation, Gia answered, "I love him, even though his gentleness is cold and ruthless. I still love him, and I am willing to be the flame that warms him."

The woman knew that all the humor and wit Lentimute had displayed towards her throughout the year was an act.

Even saving his own life was merely out of a sense of morality as a Utopian, a desire to use it to promote the good reputation of Utopia.

But so what?

I will turn the false into the true one day.

Besides, no matter how fake it is, he didn't hurt me. He's much better than that jerk from before.

At least this man is willing to put on an act.

"Very well, Miss Gia, I will now grant Lentimute the opportunity to love you!"

The moment Huang Cao finished speaking, Lentimute was called back by him.

"Now, on behalf of all citizens of Utopia, I grant Gia Lopez citizenship, allowing her to enjoy all the benefits and political rights of Utopia."

"At the same time, Gia Lopez is appointed as the secretary to Utopia's envoy in Lateran, to assist Lentimute in all his work. She shall assume office immediately tomorrow, without fail!"

Where is Lentimute?

"My lord, I'm here!"

He was summoned to Lentimute, knelt on one knee, and answered with utmost respect.

Huang Cao took a deep breath. "I command you, from this day forward... to love the people of Utopia!"

Upon hearing the order, Londinium agreed without hesitation, but he immediately fell into deep thought.

Love Utopians? Don't I?

Huang Cao, through the Abundance Seed within Lentimute's body, was acutely aware of the man's current predicament, so he explained:

"Lentimute, my good soldier, you have given everything to me, but not entirely to Utopia. Therefore, I command you to love the people of Utopia from this day forward, and to share your love for me with your fellow citizens."

Gia was a perceptive woman, and she quickly understood why the lord wanted Lentimute Utopians.

Because I have just become a true Utopian!

To love the Utopians is to love me!

Although it is a great love, why can't it also be transformed into a small love, which perfectly reflects Lentimute's current situation.

Although Huang Cao lacked the self-awareness of being a piece of wood, it had at least been reverse-pushed so many times that it had some experience to begin with.

Therefore, sending Lentimute, a blockhead who is just as good as himself, directly to Gia would be a form of coercion.

This will only make things more awkward for these two hotheads, and both men and women will suffer. But once they become a unified utopia, love for all their fellow citizens will naturally include romantic love, which is like a large group encompassing a smaller group.

By proceeding gradually from large to small, Lentimute will eventually open his heart.

As for why commands are used, it's to give Lentimute the initiative, because only by taking action can success be achieved.

Even Gia couldn't help but admire Master Huang's brilliance, since there were very few utopian people in Lateran now.

Today, the only utopian in the embassy is himself.

"But apart from that, I need Gia to consume the Abundance Seed to gain power before proceeding with the plan."

Such a useful tool can't die so easily.

After feeling Gia consume the Seed, Huang Cao immediately sent a remote copy of the Lateran plan.

The plan is to gradually dismantle the country's ideology from within, then launch an economic offensive, and finally take control of the entire country.

Chapter 397: I'm going all in!

"That's another excellent step, so now it's time to create some conflict."
