"Am I really that attractive to you, little boy?"

Faced with CC's slightly mocking teasing, Mo Mo naturally knew how to respond, and said, "Of course, big sister, you've completely captivated my soul."

CC stared into Mo Mo's eyes, scrutinized him for three seconds, and then a sweet smile curved her previously indifferent lips. She said, "Then I'll believe you. But sweet words don't pay the bills; I want pizza!"

"Tsk... I suddenly feel so sad. Am I less attractive to you than a pizza?"

"Of course, you can lick a pizza, eat it after licking it, and make another one. But you can only lick it once, and you can only eat a little bit. Once you taste it, it's gone."

Mo Mo felt his head was spinning instantly. Was CC in front of him truly a timeless old lady?

Momo also felt a bit of pressure in front of CC.

However, Momo no longer needed to deal with CC, because both of them were drawn to the old man.

"Ha...hahahaha...cough cough..."

The old emperor suddenly burst into laughter, a laugh tinged with sorrow, as if one could hear an old man weeping. However, the frail old man even seemed to have difficulty laughing; after a few laughs, he began to cough violently.

"Your Majesty, what has happened? Do you need me to serve you?"

Gao Hai, who was outside the door, seemed to have been eavesdropping. The emperor heard Gao Hai's voice, paused for a few seconds, and said, "It's alright, just wait for my orders."

"The slaves obey."

Gao Hai's voice carried a hint of resentment, but he could only obediently await orders.

The old emperor's breathing gradually calmed down. He seemed to have confirmed that he had broken free from Geass's control, which made even his eyes brighten a little. However, his hunched body combined with such bright eyes only made people feel uneasy.

Has this thing become sentient?

The old emperor glanced at Mo Mo and CC, seemingly reminiscing or pondering. To Mo Mo's surprise, he didn't ask a question first, but instead said, "Thirty years ago, I had just ascended to the throne. At that time, I was young and ambitious, and I thought about changing the declining state of the Chinese Federation and restoring the glory of the Chinese Empire that had lasted for more than a thousand years."

"Unfortunately, before I could do anything, I met a woman, a woman from Britannia. I was captivated by her beauty and wanted to take her into the palace as one of my concubines, but she gave me a strange order."

“Every talented person you see who excites you is actually an ambitious schemer who wants to seize your throne. Unless you kill him, your position as emperor and the entire world will be in grave danger.”

"At first, I thought this strange command was a curse, that the woman was cursing me because she didn't want to be conquered by me. So I punished her. However, afterwards, she chose to commit suicide in prison."

The old emperor closed his eyes in pain and said, "But later, I realized that this was not a curse, but a curse. This curse has followed me for thirty years. Whenever I see a talented person who moves me, my heart is filled with boundless killing intent, which has led me to kill countless talented people."

"I have always believed that it is my fault that the Chinese Federation has become such a horrible state. If I had not been young and impetuous and had not been greedy for the beauty of a Britannian witch, I would not have fallen into this cursed state."

“For thirty years, I have been fighting this curse, praying to my ancestors for help to overcome it. But for thirty years, I have been able to do nothing but lessen its effects on me.”

"Not only that, thirty years of immense effort have also turned me into this ghastly appearance."

"However, I have never resented anyone, because I know that it was all my fault, the result of my own evil deeds."

Just then, the old emperor suddenly changed his tone, as if he had transformed from a frail old man into a wounded beast. His bright eyes were now bloodshot—no longer the color of Geass, but bloodshot from anger.

"However, I only learned today that this curse is a power, a power that can be manipulated and broken. I hope you can tell me what this power is. I want to know who cursed me back then, who made me suffer for thirty years!"

The old man stared at CC. If it weren't for his advanced age and frailty, Mo Mo might have even suspected that he was about to take action. But CC didn't care at all and asked Mo Mo, "So, should we tell him the truth? Should we tell him everything, or just part of it?"

Seeing that CC was led by Mo Mo, he turned to look at Mo Mo, who smiled slightly and said, "His Majesty the Emperor has the right to know the truth of the matter. At the same time, this is also a way for us to show our sincerity."

"Since that's the case, there's no harm in telling you."

So CC told the old man what Geass was, but CC did not reveal his identity as Code. He only said that as an ancient holder of Geass, he could remove the identity of others' Geass.

For most people, the power of Geass is already incredibly appealing, but the power of Code—immortality—is something everyone desires. CC had encountered countless people interested in her immortality before, and she had originally believed she would encounter more in the future.

After all, she is still immortal.

But now, with Mo Mo by her side, perhaps everything will be different.

"So... do you know who the woman who gave me the Geass curse is?"

"Based on what you've said, her ability is probably to link two specific concepts in a person's mind. She's linked the concepts of talent and killing in your mind together."

"As for who she is, I naturally don't know. There are quite a few people with Geass abilities, how could I possibly know them all? However, I can tell you the most likely possibility."

"possibility?"

"Yes, it's possible. A long time ago, Britannia organized an organization called the Order to study the power of Geass and even tried to cultivate Geass holders themselves. If we're just talking about numbers, Britannia probably has the most Geass holders."

Mo Mo glanced at CC with some surprise, while CC turned around and secretly winked at Mo Mo.

The cult was originally an organization led by CC, with CC as its leader. Now, CC has suddenly revealed the cult's affairs. Why? Has he completely broken with the cult?

"What kind of look is that? Haven't you always believed that the power of Geass is destroying world peace and distorting justice, and that you've always wanted to eliminate the Geass cult but lacked the power? Now that I've given you this opportunity, you're not happy?"

Hearing CC's words, Mo Mo smiled slightly. Whatever CC was thinking, there was no doubt that CC was now on Mo Mo's side, and with unwavering support.

In the future, whoever tries to take CC away from Momo, Momo will make them taste the wrath of communist dictatorship.

“Britania…the Order…Is that so?”

The old emperor muttered to himself, and having learned the truth, he was no longer agitated, as if he had figured something out.

"Britania... No wonder, no wonder. Haha, I've become this wretched person, it's no wonder, it's no wonder!"

The old emperor sighed a couple of times, while Mo Mo thought to himself, the old emperor's tone was practically as if his words formed a golden, shining character for "injustice" written on his head.

"Hey," seeing the old man sighing to himself again, CC looked helplessly at Mo Mo and said, "I'm hungry, I want to eat pizza."

"Pizza...that kind of Western food?"

The old emperor spoke on Mo Mo's behalf, saying, "You can take my decree and order any chef to make what you like to eat, so that everyone will obey your orders and no one will disobey."

"Really? I suddenly find you, old man, more agreeable."

"Haha, it's only to thank you for your kindness, that's all I should do."

Upon hearing that there was an unlimited supply of pizza to choose from, CC immediately turned and ran out of the palace to talk to Gao Hai. What to eat for lunch was a trivial matter; it didn't even require the emperor's order. A verbal command from Gao Hai would suffice for CC.

In this sense, CC is actually very easy to raise. After all, even if you don't raise her, she'll revive if she starves to death, and you can make up for lost affection by giving her pizza and gifts. She's practically the most generous doll ever... well, you know.

After watching CC leave, the old emperor turned his gaze to Mo Mo and said, "Alright, I think it's time for the two of us to have a proper talk. Mr. Qilin, can you tell me exactly what you're planning to do?"

"What is your purpose, and what do you want to gain?"

Facing the old emperor directly, Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "Then, I will get straight to the point."

"Give me your trust, and I will give you a prosperous China."

064 I don't want either of them

Mo Mo's tone was calm, yet his eyes revealed an unwavering conviction, as if he possessed unparalleled confidence.

Such confidence caught the eye of the emperor. He seemed to see in Mo Mo the version of himself who had just ascended to the throne, full of vigor and ready to make a name for himself.

The only difference was that at that time, he was the emperor of the Chinese Federation. Although the Chinese Empire was on the road to decline, its 1,800-year history made him and every Chinese person believe that the resurgence of the Chinese Empire was only a matter of time.

But now, the guy in front of me, who calls himself Qilin and whose real name is Mo Mo, is still a commoner without any official position, yet this commoner has already caused such a big trouble.

If the Emperor were to compare himself to someone, the only one he could think of is Cao Cao, the ruthless and ambitious Cao Cao. And isn't Mo Mo, standing before him, yet another such figure?

“You are very confident, but I don’t know where your confidence comes from. Moreover, your actions make me uneasy. If you really have enough confidence, then tell me what you just did and why you did it.”

"Of course, I was going to report to Your Majesty what I had just done."

So, Momo took out that stick again, which was Momo's military-grade neural connection device, and told the Emperor everything that had just happened.

Even though the emperor probably had some expectations, after hearing the whole story, he was still stunned by Mo Mo's behavior. He stared intently at Mo Mo, feeling that this Mo Mo was several times more worrying than Cao Cao.

At least it took Cao Cao time to become a powerful warlord. But right now, Mo Mo, with just a few words, has killed seven of the eight powerful eunuchs who practically ruled the Chinese Federation. The Forbidden City is still stained with blood, and the entire city of Luoyang is in turmoil.

Even because of his words, the ambitious figures in the Chinese Federation began to get restless. The other two major powers in the world probably wouldn't sit idly by and watch the turmoil in the Chinese Federation, and would definitely interfere and cause trouble in secret.

After all, the Chinese Federation is one of the world's three poles. If it weakens further because of this incident, it will inevitably shed a lot of fat. Anyone who takes a piece of that fat will have enough to live on for a lifetime.

"What exactly do you want?!"

The old emperor's voice grew louder; he had realized the seriousness of the matter, and his gaze toward Mo Mo held not only incomprehension but also a hint of hostility.

If Mo Mo were a brilliant strategist, the Emperor wouldn't be worried; what he lacks most right now is talent. But now that he knows what Mo Mo has done, no matter how you look at it, Mo Mo seems like a madman.

Madmen...bring destruction. The emperor lacks talent, but he lacks rational talent, not mindless madmen.

The restoration of the Chinese Empire's former glory was the old emperor's wish, but this wish had to be realized step by step through solid and practical means, not through conspiracies and tricks.

Intrigue and scheming may bring victory in war, but they cannot make a country stronger. This is the difference between a ruler, the emperor, and a strategist or general.

"The reason... is very simple, just two words."

Despite the Emperor's doubts, Mo Mo remained absolutely certain of his success.

"revolution."

revolution!

The emperor's pupils contracted.

As the emperor and the ruler, he naturally understood the meaning of the word "revolution," even though revolutions had been rare in the history of the Chinese Federation due to its long-standing strength.

However, the word "revolution" is the word that every ruler least wants to hear.

Revolution is different from reform or change.

Reform refers to the need to change and innovate the existing system when it can no longer adapt to social development and changes, so as to adapt to social development and ensure that development is not hindered in any way.

Change refers to social transformation, where the original system is no longer able to adapt to social development and changes, and a new system needs to be designed and established, or even a complete change from head to toe for the whole society.

Revolution, on the other hand, is the most intense and thorough method. Its biggest difference from the other two methods lies in the destruction and reconstruction of the entire society.

Revolution is man-made. It uses human power to destroy everything that already exists in society, collect all resources, and redistribute them to the victors, thereby rebuilding the system and developing society from scratch.

The old emperor once harbored great ambitions, but he knew back then that the Chinese Federation was hampered by countless historical and powerful families, preventing him from acting as he pleased. Therefore, what the old emperor considered was merely reform; as for changing the dynasty, it was just a fleeting thought.

Not to mention revolution.

And this young man, who looks to be under twenty, is talking about revolution!

"This is... utterly ridiculous!"

The emperor originally had high hopes for Mo Mo, but after learning that Mo Mo had tricked and killed seven powerful eunuchs, he thought Mo Mo might be a madman. Now, hearing Mo Mo talking about revolution, he was even more convinced that Mo Mo was a madman.

A madman cannot be reused.
