Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 348 Argument
Wayne's heart sank when he saw that the person in front of him didn't speak; he knew this wasn't Wayne Manor. His eyes quickly scanned his surroundings, trying to figure out where he was.

Suddenly, his gaze fixed on the person holding oranges at the door.

It's Shi Fei!
"You... how did you get here?" Wayne's voice was tinged with fear, as if he had seen some terrifying monster.

Shi Fei's methods were unpredictable and elusive, making him the most enigmatic enemy he had ever encountered.

He encountered strong and powerful enemies who clashed with him head-on, but after returning, he invented new armor and defeated them.

With his intelligence and resourcefulness, he could deal with anyone, even Kryptonians! But Shi Fei turned him into a weak old man, his mind completely blank, making him far less useful than when he was young.

Shi Fei smiled and said, "You're all here, so why wouldn't I be?"

"This is all your conspiracy! Your trickery! What exactly are you trying to do?" Wayne's voice trembled, filled with an undisguised panic.

His aging body was no longer able to support his strong will. Anyone who found themselves transformed from a billionaire into a frail old man, having suffered a day of torment, and finally standing before the culprit would feel fear and despair.

He felt like his fate was in someone else's hands!

Jack glanced at Wayne on the ground, then at Shi Fei. Remembering the power Shi Fei had once given him, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

George was also a little confused, not understanding why Wayne was so flustered when he saw Shi Fei.

"I'm just letting this person who lives in the two-dimensional world experience life in the three-dimensional world again," Shi Fei said casually.

He gestured to George and Jack: "Bring him in! I want to know how he feels."

Although Jack didn't understand what Shi Fei meant by "2D" and "3D," he still looked at George. George nodded, and the two of them carried Wayne into the house, one in front and one behind.

“Demon… stay away from me…” Wayne struggled weakly, trying to get rid of the two men, but his body was so weak that he didn’t even have the strength to lift his hand.

If he were young, he could easily take down ordinary people like Jack and George. But now, he could only be carried into the house like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

After entering the house, Shi Fei sat on a chair, Wayne was placed on the living room floor, and Jack and George sat on two other stools.

"Should we get him some hot water? He doesn't look well," Jack said with concern, looking at Wayne's pale face.

"Go to the kitchen and pour a cup of hot water, add some sugar and salt," Shi Fei said to George.

George nodded, got up, and went into the kitchen. A moment later, he returned with a glass of warm water. The hot water was boiled by Shi Fei that day, and the cold water was bottled mineral water he had bought; mixing them together made warm water.

The tap water in George's area contains a lot of heavy metals. Back when he rented the house, his landlord warned him not to drink the tap water if he wanted to live a couple more years.

After drinking a glass of warm water, Wayne's complexion improved slightly, and his breathing became much more stable.

"How was your day in the real world?" Shi Fei asked with a hint of teasing. He could tell at a glance that Wayne hadn't had a good day.

“You demon…give me back everything I have!” Wayne’s voice was weak but filled with rage.

His body, his butler, his Night Owl armor, his Wayne Corporation!
Everything is gone!
“Right now, you’re just a basic person.” Shi Fei shook his head, his tone carrying a strange undertone: “Now you know how hard life is, right? Ordinary people in this city have a very tough time living.”

Wayne couldn't understand, his voice tinged with anger and bewilderment: "But I have my own company, my own butler, my own technology, everything I have! Why should I be an ordinary person!"

From the moment he was born, he was the heir to the Wayne Enterprises!
He travels the world, searching for a way to eliminate evil; essentially, he's a rich young master experiencing poverty. The torment he suffers only makes him grow; he's still fundamentally a rich young master!
Just as he eradicated evil in his own way, he believed he was never an ordinary person! Why be an ordinary person!

He was born extraordinary!

"Heh..." Shi Fei's face was full of sarcasm, "Take away all that, and you're just a weak old man."

“What do you mean, a weak old man!” Wayne’s voice rose slightly, tinged with resentment. “I still have a strong body! My body, after proper care, is comparable to that of a fifty-year-old!”

In his youth, he suffered many injuries, including irreversible damage to his spine. Fortunately, rapid advancements in technology allowed him to use technology to repair his injuries, and even improve his condition!

The only thing technology can't do is age, but it can slow down aging.

"That's all thanks to technology! Without technology, you're utterly useless!" Shi Fei said coldly. "With all that technology, even a pig could fly!"

He pointed at Jack and George and said coldly, "Look at them. They work so hard, but they have no resources, no way to move up, and can only struggle to survive. Isn't that your problem?"

Many people are very capable, but they lack resources. In a capitalist society, resources are naturally controlled by capital, so many people kneel before capital, hoping to exchange dignity for resources.

"What's my problem! Isn't this their problem?" Wayne completely broke down. He couldn't understand why a demon like Shi Fei was always fussing over the lives of ordinary people.

He continued, "If you don't do well in your studies, don't you look for the problems within yourself? If you can't find a job, don't you look for the problems within yourself? You lack skills and aren't doing well, so don't you look for the problems within yourself? And you blame me, Wayne? What right do you have to do that!"

In his view, those people have no ability of their own, yet they blame him, the richest man in the country. What right do they have to do that?

He, the richest man in the country, also built his empire through sheer hard work, eventually acquiring the entire city of Gof. The life-or-death struggles and crises he endured are far beyond what those worthless individuals can even begin to comprehend!
Those good-for-nothings are just people eliminated by society. How can such people have the face or the right to blame Wayne?

The richest man's position is right there; they have no right to sit there, they can only bark and howl!
Before Shi Fei could say anything more, Jack suddenly said, "Let me speak! I think I'm the most qualified to refute you, Mr. Wayne."

“You are…” Wayne frowned as he looked at Jack beside him.

He scrutinized Jack closely and could tell from his hair, teeth, and nails that Jack was a person from the lower class.

What right does someone like that have to refute him?
