There are many ruthless bosses living in my territory

Three seconds later, Esdeath's ice-blue eyes suddenly widened and she fell to the ground in a daze.

What happened just now? Was this an attack? But other than a little numbness in the mouth, there was no pain?

When Esdeath was in a trance and couldn't understand what had just happened, Lister reached out and lifted her chin.

"Now you understand."

"From now on you will be my woman. This is a declaration from a strong man."

"If you want me to take back what I said, then try to become stronger and challenge me."

Then, Liszt looked towards the distance and saw Rena staring blankly at him.

"Reina, Esdeath is in your hands for now. Arrange a room for her on the ninth floor."

"I'm going to work."

After saying this, Liszt walked into Red Maple Castle with a serious face and big strides.

But some people don't want him to get away with it.

"Honey! Don't you deserve an explanation for me?!"

Wucan grabbed Liszt's shoulder with a fake smile.

"Ahem, I can explain."

"Actually, Esdeath is a talented general. She believes in the law of the jungle, so I have to control her by showing my strength."

"I'm asking why you kissed her?!"

"You obviously have so many methods you can use! Why did you use this one?!"

Seeing that Muzan’s smile was about to disappear, Lister had no choice but to pick her up and teleport to the office with a soundproof barrier.

He couldn't admit that he kissed her subconsciously because he thought of Esdeath being bound by love in the original novel, and he also saw that she was cute, and the situation just now was just right.

Would he have run away with a stern face if this sudden action hadn't made him so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into?

At the same time, Esdeath, who was sitting by the wall, was still in a daze.

She subconsciously touched her slightly swollen lips, and the residual heat burned her fingertips.

The sudden strange feeling pulled her back from the killing state.

This place doesn't seem to be the nest of any dangerous species, and the people she just fought with weren't the northern aliens who wiped out her entire clan.

Who is he? According to the rules of their Baruts tribe, the loser must agree to the winner's request, so she already belongs to that strong man?

Just as Esdeath was sorting out her confused mind, Reina, wearing a thin training tights, walked up to her and looked at her with a complicated expression.

"My name is Reina, welcome to Red Maple Territory."

"You can ask me any questions you have."

……

While Lister was comforting Muzan in the office and Esdeath was talking to Reina in the training ground, something happened in Red Maple Town.

After the meeting, Aizen did not return to his own world, but came to a high ground on the edge of Hongfeng Town, overlooking the entire town.

The town has expanded a lot compared to when he first arrived. All the buildings have been renovated, and water, electricity and floor heating are now available in every household.

In the dusk, the townspeople have finished their work and returned to town.

In this season of melting ice and snow, they chatted on the streets, imagined their future lives together, and hoped that Liszt could lead them to a brighter future.

Suddenly, there was the sound of feet stepping into the snow.

"Aizen, what are you doing here?"

Uchiha Madara came behind Aizen and asked.

"Uchiha Madara, I don't think I need to report to you before doing anything."

"Or do you want to duel with me?"

Madara did not answer, but walked to Aizen's side and also overlooked the entire Red Maple Town.

In those purple eyes of reincarnation, the future of Red Maple Town is full of vitality.

"I'll fight you once I'm sure I can kill you."

"Now I just want to ask you what your purpose is? To become the god you mentioned? That's boring."

Aizen glanced at him.

"Is this my response to your Infinite Tsukuyomi plan? It's a good thing you gave up that boring plan now."

"That has nothing to do with you."

The tense conversation between the two did not affect their handsome postures at the top of the hill.

The wind blew up their clothes and hair. One of them was unabashedly domineering, while the other was deeply arrogant.

"Well, Madara, what do you see from here?"

"...The future." Madara answered without hesitation: "It can help me realize my ideal future."

After saying that, he looked at Aizen.

"Then what did you see?"

Aizen looked into the distance indifferently, neither happy nor sad.

"barrier."

“The unchangeable barriers and gaps formed between the weak and the strong.”

Chapter 119: Aizen's Sorrow and Madara's Sharp Mouth

Barriers and gaps?

Madara never thought that what Aizen saw would be this kind of thing.

"Red Maple Territory is divided into Red Maple Town and Red Maple Fort."

"Red Maple Town is where most of the ordinary people live, and Red Maple Castle is where those with power and authority live."

"The power and authority that Lister possesses enables him to decide everything about Red Maple Castle according to his preferences. Only those chosen by him can live there."

"This is normal, because the strong deserve these."

Aizen said calmly.

“It is the same in any world. The strong and the weak live in different worlds, and they see different scenery.”

"In the Soul Society where I live, people with spiritual power are superior people, and people without spiritual power are just objects that don't need to be cared about."

"A strong person with spiritual power is destined to be unable to live with a weak person without spiritual power. The former will have a long life and powerful martial arts, while the latter will die easily."

“When these inherent inequalities are mixed together, it becomes an exploitation of the weak and a form of endurance for the strong.”

"That's why the Seireitei was created, to separate those with spiritual powers from those without."

“It’s good for both sides.”

"Humph! Are you going to compare the Red Maple Territory with Soul Society?"

There was anger in Madara's voice.

"If you want to compare, then compare it to the holy places of this world. What you nobles of Soul Society do is even more outrageous than the holy places of this world."

"The way Seireitei treats the residents of Rukongai is very different from how Maple Castle treats the residents of Maple Town. Apart from killing Hollows, the refugees are just a resource of spirit particles that you can use. Their greatest use is to stabilize the balance of souls."

"In comparison, Red Maple Castle isolates the danger and guides the entire territory to develop in a better direction. Red Maple Town should provide support to Red Maple Castle!"

Aizen looked at Madara and their eyes met.

"It seems that you have absorbed the ideas that Liszt instilled in you very well."

"I remember that you are someone who would not take advantage of other people's lives just to fulfill your ridiculous ideals."

Madara clicked his tongue.

"That's all in the past. He was a role model for Yahiko and the others, and not only did he make them realize that they must be consistent in their pursuit of their ideals, but he also made me realize that a person has his limits and can easily stray from the path."

Aizen couldn't help but laugh.

"Banara, you have become a weakling."

“When you start trusting him, you’re relying on him.”

"Dependence is the behavior of the weak."

"Weak?"

Madara scoffed back.

"Are you going to say that there is already a barrier and gap between us in terms of power and thought because you are strong? Because you are the God that all kings must follow and believe in?"

"Aizen, you have been saying that there is an insurmountable barrier and gap between the strong and the weak. Are you trying to prove that the strong cannot live with the weak, and that the strong must be lonely?"

"The strong are indeed lonely, but it is not like what you said that they cannot coexist with the weak. That is just your nonsense!"

Aizen looked directly into Madara's eyes.

"I don't have to prove anything, the facts are there."

"Ban, it seems that you have been completely assimilated by Lister."

"It's not assimilation, he just reminded me of the past."

Madara clenched his fists.

"I am the son of the head of the Uchiha clan. I grew up in war. I once had family and friendship. Even though I lost them due to war and differences in thought, it does not mean that I cannot understand."

"My great strength was forged through repeated life-and-death experiences. I climbed up from a weakling to a strong one step by step!"

"I can understand the feelings of the weak, just like I feel powerless after losing my brother!"

"Aizen, you are the one who really cannot understand this!"

Madara raised his fist in front of Aizen, pointing his index finger at him.

"I have had unforgettable family and friendship, and now I have like-minded friends."

"As the supreme leader of Epsilon, Yuri has a large group of successors who understand and follow his ideas. Xin He beside him is his most proud disciple."

"Even the helpless Muzan now has Lister who can tolerate her, not to mention Haytham Kenway who once led his companions to fight for a common creed."

"These are the only people with whom you have no real fellowship."

"No, there was a Hinamori Momo who gave you all her heart, but you only responded with hypocrisy!"

"Besides that, the only person who can be said to understand you is Tosen Kaname, who is your superior. The other person you admire, Urahara Kisuke, completely denies your ideals and refuses to change Soul Society."

“The barriers and gullies you see are actually the distance between you and them.”

Aizen only felt like a sharp blade was inserted deeply into his heart and stirred back and forth several times.

He subconsciously wanted to push up his glasses with his fingers, but found that his hands were shaking slightly.

His eyes filled with surprise were buried in the shadows.

"…It seems that Liszt told you a lot."

Madara just felt extremely happy in his heart. Before, Aizen had choked him so much that he couldn't speak, but now the situation had finally changed and he stabbed Aizen.

Although these words were indeed taught to him by Liszt.

"Aizen, you are the only one who is still outside the Round Table Council, and you are the only one who still refuses to cooperate with other members."

"No, it should be said that you have never learned about us from Liszt."

"You are so arrogant that you think you can see through us all by yourself, but you have never thought that if you don't even know our past, how can you truly understand us?"

"You crave to be understood, but you put on a mask whose true or false you don't know."

"Power is a weapon, not armor!"

"Your pathetic armor is the biggest reason you're lonely!"

For the first time, Aizen had the urge to use his strength to silence the other person.

He really should reflect on himself.
