Successors of all mankind

When Yu Le suddenly burst into laughter, the other barbarians were even more shocked.

Is there really no way out?!

"But the only ones who will die are you and your subordinate! Who told your man to provoke me? Blame yourself for hiring such a foolish subordinate. Otherwise, someone as smart as you might actually be needed to do some small things for me here!"

Yu Le affirmed his idea and pointed out that even so, not all of them would die.

While preventing this brute from binding everyone together again, Yu Le also tries to make him hate his subordinate who has caused so much trouble.

And what's most ingenious is that the story also subtly tells the rest of the barbarians about the fun.

I might need a smart person to help me get things done here.

So, shouldn't we try to build connections with the nobility?

Yu Le was shorter than all the other barbarians here, but he was the focus of the entire room, dominating everyone with the art of language and his disguised identity!

The dangerous look reappeared, only this time the objects were not Yu Le, but the tyrant boss and his henchmen.

The immense psychological pressure even made the henchman subconsciously want to draw his gun and fight for his life.

But just as he was about to make his move and ignite the entire scene...

The brute leader grabbed him and then looked at his underlings, saying:

“You should know how long I’ve led you through this godforsaken place.”

“The least one of you has been with me for two or three years. Think about what I’ve done with you all these years. We crushed the Van der Ley gang and took over this place that originally belonged to them!”

"I have kept all the promises I made to you over the years. I have never lied to you!"

"So, listen carefully to what I have to say!"

The leader of the brutes still didn't dare touch the gun, because he knew the situation was still on Yu Le's side. He was just analyzing Yu Le's words.

Trying to tell the underlings the 'truth'!

"You think he'll really let you go? How naive!"

"He just said that only the two of us were going to die, but that was a lie. Think about it, a nobleman with over 30% purity was captured, tied up, and almost dismantled into parts by us bunch of trash!"

"Even if he himself is too lazy to care, what about his family lineage? What about his bloodline? If this gets out, will his family act like nothing happened?"

"I'm telling you, no! The law enforcement will come. They'll turn this place upside down and arrest everyone who touched him or saw him—that is, all of you!"

As he uttered his last words, he pointed menacingly at each of his underlings.

Then, he hurriedly pointed to Yule Road:

"He's telling you now that 'smart people are needed'? That's just a delaying tactic! Guess what the first thing he'll do after he leaves here?"

"He's calling people to level this place! Because he can't let anyone know that he was once dragged around like a dog by a bunch of idiots!"

When the leader of the savages spoke, Yu Le instinctively wanted to call on the other savages to kill him.

But in the end, Yu Le managed to hold back.

Because doing so would confirm that what the other person said was true, and that you were afraid they would expose your lie.

Similarly, the barbarian leader didn't dare to kill Yu Le first, because that would also confirm Yu Le's guilt.

The two of them are now in the same boat.

It all depends on who can completely win over the rest of the barbarians.

After all, in this wretched place, quantity is the greatest form of violence!

"We only have two choices now: either let him leave alive and we all die together, or kill him and run! Don't even think about getting away!"

After the eldest barbarian uttered these words, Yu Le calmly looked at him and said:

"I am indeed in a bit of trouble right now, after all, I've actually gotten separated from my guards. As a result, you, this thing, are jumping around in front of me!"

Yu Le re-optimized the words she initially said to those 'well-meaning brutes'.

His family was looking for him, but instead, his bodyguards were looking for him.

Same function, but better results.

After all, his family had become a guard that sounded intimidating.

The other barbarians were terrified. The nobles all had guards, and it was said that there were hundreds or even thousands of them.

That's perfectly normal; the lives of noblemen are just that precious.

But those cannot be called guards, because the title of guard can only be used by powerful nobles who own their own fiefdoms.

One's own fiefdom and real power are both indispensable.

If even one is missing, one cannot refer to their guards as a "guard team".

"You say my family won't let you go? That's simple. I'll use my family line, my bloodline, as my guarantee. Everyone except you will live! As long as they kill the two of you!"

Chapter 5: Turning danger into safety

"Feel proud, you bastard, that you have allowed a nobleman to say such things to you!"

Yu Le subtly revealed a hint of unspoken anger in his voice.

As a noble family, they were actually forced into this situation by a ridiculous barbarian.

No matter what, there should be some anger befitting one's status!

This is yet another performance of Yule's self-deception.

He was a nobleman who had been separated from his guards. He was indeed someone who could crush these barbarians at any time, but now he was indeed in an awkward and helpless predicament.

As a result, even a person of his stature had to deal with and make promises to a group of lowly people.

This should be more authentic and more believable to the rest of the barbarians.

As a member of a noble family that these people should never have the opportunity to meet in their entire lives, he ended up in this situation.

They should feel frustrated and angry.

Only in this way is it reasonable. However, Yule is not some kind of noble family; it is just a performance and a way to fool people in order to survive.

Therefore, he didn't know whether his performance was up to par.

However, they've already gone to such lengths.

Even if it doesn't work out in the end, Yu Le can accept it with peace of mind.

I really did my best.

He even managed to fool a large group of barbarians whose fighting strength clearly surpassed his own to the point of almost desperate measures.

No wonder people always say that lying is addictive. Putting aside the life-or-death crisis we are in now, the pleasure of fooling everyone is indeed hard to describe.

But what are the actual results?

Did they believe it? Did they discover the flaws?

The good news is that at this point, no barbarian doubts Yule's identity.

After all, how could someone with a genetic purity of over 30% not be from a noble family?

And that's where the problem lies.

How could we possibly let go of a noble family whose genetic purity exceeds 30%?

"Therefore, you must make sure that nothing that happened today gets out. Otherwise, even if we all die cleanly, as long as this matter gets out, won't someone of your status still be disgraced?"

The eldest barbarian looked at Yu Le and said these words.

For nobles, face is of utmost importance, because it is not only their own interest, but also the interest of the noble class.

The greater the nobility, the more they care about this.

He also heard that many high-ranking nobles valued this face more than their own offspring or even their own lives.

Since that's the case, how could one possibly abandon their dignity for the sake of the great nobility, who also enjoys their pleasures?

At the same time, the tyrannical leader pointed at Yu Le and said in a tone that was both encouraging and seductive:

"And think about it, just how valuable is his noble bloodline!"

"Remember how we got our hands on weapons that were enough to go toe-to-toe with the Van der Leyborg gang? It was because we got our hands on a vial of noble blood!"

"I remember that the blood was poorly preserved, and the blood's owner's genetic purity was barely over 20%. But even so, we still managed to make our first fortune with it!"

"Then we took down the Van der Leyborg gang, and that's how we got everything we have today!"

"And him, his genetic purity is more than 30%! For someone like that, let alone getting his blood, even his last breath is something we'll never have anything to do with for the rest of our lives!"

"But now he's right in front of us!"

"Think about it, what can he give us! Women, wealth, power, everything! You might even be able to use his blood, everything he has, to get a noble lady to bear you a child."

"Even if they are illegitimate children without inheritance rights, your children won't be trash like you, worse than dogs!"

"He will be a man who enjoys the protection of the law and receives divine favor!"

"Another one is that if our blood is noble enough, we might be able to use it to make a gene purifier, and then turn us, a bunch of trash with less than five percent purity, into filthy people or even brutes?"

Self-interest is always the most persuasive force.

What's more, they're a group of desperate criminals who live on the edge of death.

Especially when it comes to offspring, and finally, gene purification!

As one of the lowest classes, they knew all too well just how vast the class divide was.

The reason why noblemen need a large number of guards when they go out is not only to highlight their status, but also because they themselves are indeed moving gold mines!

The simplest and most direct way is that even if their flesh and blood are eaten raw, it may help purify the genes of the next generation!

This is especially true for those in higher positions; in fact, it's said that those in excessively high positions don't even need to be turned into gene extractors.

Their blood itself is the best purifier!

So when the leader of the barbarians made the consequences clear, Yu Le could see that many of the barbarians, who were still very hesitant even after hearing that he might not survive, now revealed extremely greedy eyes.

At this moment, Yu Le was no longer seen as a terrifying nobleman.

It is not a blessing, but an immense gift!

Yu Le knew what he was about to say, or he would surely die!

"And then what? What will you do after you kill me? What, a bunch of bastards who are only fit to fight with dogs for food, actually think they can escape alive after killing me?"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire factory went cold.

It sent a chill down the spines of all the barbarians.

Because they all remembered the settlement to the east.

They don't have flying vehicles, and they can't outrun the slaves' law enforcement team. Not to mention the noble guards and even the opposing knights who would surely go mad after learning of their dereliction of duty.

That group of people were not the delicate slaves of the Norl law enforcement team; they were the noble guards, especially the noble knights, who were said to be closely tied to the nobles they served.

Even if they escaped into the ruins, the enemy would probably rush in and chase them down, tearing them to death.

Yu Le's expression was very calm, but his heartbeat was so loud that it frightened even himself.

He felt he had used up all his quick wit in his life.

But these barbarians are not NPCs; they have their own ideas and will not be manipulated like puppets.

Even now, I still know very little about this ghostly world!

Having said all that, they should believe me now, right?

But just as Yu Le thought, they were not NPCs who could be manipulated at will.

"You're right, sir, but things have come to this point, do you think we still have a choice?"

The leader of the savages revealed a strange smile.

There was a sense of pity, a touch of self-deprecation, and a certain inexplicable relief.

This time, although he was still watching Yu Le, he addressed all his underlings:

“We did not follow your instructions immediately. We have been constantly provoking you and threatening your life, and most importantly, it has happened more than once.”

"No matter what, we have no choice now!"
