I really can't control myself.

Chapter 3978 Elimination
Demons who can become members of parliament are quite smart. So they quickly understood what Linton meant and the purpose of his words.

It is obvious that they are asked to hand over all the treasures in their homes, but who knows how many treasures each family has.

Many people don't even know how much stuff they have at home, let alone other people's homes.

Therefore, even if this matter was really done by Stolas, or another high-level demon family, they cannot be sure of the number of treasures in their homes, so what if they only hand over a small part and say it is all the family property?
Now Linton is telling you what to do. He is telling you that those who pay less will be killed directly. Then you have to sacrifice your life to pay. Otherwise, you don’t know whether others pay more or less.

Having said that, the only solution is really to give as much as possible. Otherwise, even if you find someone to discuss it privately and everyone tries to give the same amount, how do you know that others will really abide by the agreement and give the agreed amount?

Yes, lying is one of the traditional virtues of the devil. Even though they have been colleagues for many years, they are still on guard against each other and it is impossible for them to work together.

You said to estimate how many treasures other families have, and give an average number to minimize losses? How do you know the exact number of treasures other families have, and how do you make sure that the approximate number they revealed before is the real number? Who wouldn't hide a little bit? At least everyone who thinks this way knows how their family does it.

So once this situation occurs, the only option is to pay as much as possible, there is no other way.

I can only say that Linton is really cruel. What he said is to cut off their escape route.

"So how many places are there specifically..." a congressman also tried to ask, mainly asking how many places are needed to survive.

"Hmm... let me think about it, let's live half of it first." Linton thought for a while and said casually, "I'll count the rankings later and eliminate all those below the median first."

"First...eliminate?" These congressmen seemed to have grasped the key point of Linton's words. Linton emphasized the first elimination, which means there will be a later elimination? Does this mean there will be a second round?
"Indeed, there are too many of you, a bunch of hell borers. Do you think it's shameful to live so long? If it weren't for the Speaker's face, there wouldn't be so many spots left." Linton waved his hand and said, "So some of you must die, and it will take enough deaths to make it happen. Handing over the treasure only gives you a spot to participate in the qualifying round. Of course, if someone doesn't even want this spot, you can just say so."

Linton pointed to the two rows of seats in the front left and said, "See those two rows? If you don't want to be qualified, just sit there. I'll arrange a family meal for you right away."

As soon as Linton finished speaking, the congressmen who were originally sitting in the two rows jumped up from their seats as if their butts were on fire and quickly hid to the side.

Linton didn't pay any attention to the few people who jumped up, but continued to say to the group of congressmen: "Okay, there shouldn't be any questions, now you can notify your family members."

"How do we notify our families?" one of the councillors asked in a daze. This situation had never happened before, and most of the councillors were confused. Their minds were blank and they just followed Linton's ideas. Now they were suddenly asked to notify their families. Who knew how to do it?

Isn't this what you kidnappers should do? You kidnapped us, so of course you should notify our family to pay the ransom to save us. Why do you let us do it ourselves? How should they do it? Write a letter? Or send someone to notify? Can they go back and notify them directly? Or can they call a few family members to discuss it?
"How do I know how you will inform your families?" Linton spread his hands and said, "You guys are all grown up, do you still need me to teach you about this? I can tell you clearly that in this hell, a basic principle is that only the fittest survive. Only the strong ones can survive, and only those who are qualified to survive."

"I advise you to seize the chances of survival. For example, a guy who doesn't even know how to notify his family to pay the money, do you think he is qualified to live? Such people deserve to be eliminated. What do you think they are living for?" Linton sneered and said, "Okay, everyone, make your own decisions. Life and death, wealth and honor, are all up to fate."

Linton's few words distorted the ideas of these congressmen.

Originally, paying the ransom was just a condition for survival, but now that Linton had said it, it had become an opportunity for all of them to fight for. Although it didn't sound like the difference was that big, the difference in initiative was still very obvious.

They have to take the initiative to have a chance to survive, so they will naturally work harder. When they realize this, they will not think about how to avoid paying or reduce losses, but how to seize this opportunity.

Anyway, the effect seems to be quite good. After Linton said this, this group of people started thinking about how to pay the ransom.

Unexpectedly, after Linton said this, he gave them a lot of room to move around. As long as they didn't leave the meeting room, no one seemed to stop them from doing anything else.

They took out something to contact their families or other people. For example, some wanted to contact the guards outside or even the military to inform the outside world of what was happening here. It seemed that there was no one watching them. Most of the guards were just guarding the door.

Even Linton had no intention of stopping them from whispering to each other, and Linton waved his hand and asked his men to let go of Stolas, who had been holding him.

"Speaker, what is going on? What happened? Where is Sig?" Seeing Stolas coming down, a congressman immediately went up to ask.

"Sieg is dead, and so are his entire family." Stolas said directly, "I don't know exactly who this human is, but he is extremely powerful, so powerful that he doesn't even look like a human. He has completely turned the Senate Guards against him and has put them all under his name."

"Not only that, he also directly made all the troops under Gallos's name defect. Now these soldiers are even helping him to lobby various armies, trying to get them to pledge allegiance to this human. Moreover, I think it is very likely to succeed." With just a few words, Stolas revealed more shocking information.
