Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 5992 (five thousand nine hundred and ninety-two)

The Gray Hand Man said, "You didn't say you didn't have other ideas?"

"There was a moment when I wanted to say that, but I was thinking that if I said that, he would think that I was accusing him of being wrong again. He just asked me if my wording was so imprecise because I had other ideas. Sometimes, when he asked this, it seemed as if he was assuming that I had other ideas. It seems difficult to fully explain this, but he sometimes thinks this way, and based on what he has done in the past, it seems that it makes sense." said the brown-handed man.

"I understand what you mean. I've seen this happen before." The Gray Hand said, "For example, the time he asked me if I wanted to ruin his business, the moment he asked that question, he had already assumed in his mind that I did. But I had been working for him, so what good would it do me to ruin his business at that time? I said I wouldn't ruin his business, but he insisted that it was not the case, and then punished me and made me promise him that I would never have such thoughts of ruining his business again."

"Did he ask you to speak directly?" asked the man with brown hands.

As soon as he asked this question, the brown-handed man suddenly remembered and said, "That's normal. Something similar happened to me before."

"Do you also have to tell me right away what will happen next?" asked the man with gray hands.

"Yes." said the brown-handed man.

"Did you say that at the time?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"I have said it. I dare not not say it." The brown-handed man said, "What about you?"

"I'm sure I said that too," said the Gray Hand Man.

"If you tell me, it's like admitting that you wanted to harm him at that time." The brown-handed man said, "But you can't do anything about it."

"Yes," said the Gray Hands. "I just want him to think that I won't do him any harm after what I said."

"What do you think is really in his mind?" asked the brown-handed man.

"I don't understand either." said the man with gray hands, "Sometimes when you are wronged, it's hard to explain." "It's the same for me. I've been wronged so many times that it's not always appropriate to explain." said the man with brown hands.

"Sometimes the more you explain, the worse the results will be." said the man with gray hands.

"So I can only think about the consequences and decide what to do, and I can't always consider what's fair to you and me." said the brown-handed man.

"I was just a tool at that time. Sometimes if I admit my injustice, I won't be punished so severely." said the man with gray hands.

"That's just how I am." The brown-handed man said, "Sometimes he just doesn't want others to feel like they are contradicting him."

“Even if the other party was just explaining to him and didn’t mean to contradict him, right?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

The brown-handed man said, "Yes. His temper could explode in an instant."

"You said he sometimes had these sudden outbursts of temper, was it for us to see?" asked the Gray Hand Man.

"It's hard to say." The brown-handed man said, "Sometimes I feel that he doesn't want to be challenged by someone like me. But I didn't want to challenge him. At that time, I was just a tool. What was there to challenge?"

"He treats me the same way, maybe because he treats me as a tool." Gray Hand said, "In fact, he doesn't lose his temper immediately when someone contradicts him."

The Brown-Handed Man said, “Yes, but his treatment of those who he thinks can bring him wealth and glory is another matter. In his eyes, such people are different from people like us.”
