Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

Page 198

Maybe he felt that Chisha City was an eyesore to him, or maybe he was dissatisfied with some of the decorations in Chisha City, or maybe someone in Chisha City had offended him.

All of these reasons are possible.

Those strong people are like that, they are unreasonable.

Because they are very strong, that's all.

Since things have turned out like this, no matter how sad and angry Jia Xingtian is, or how unwilling he is, he can only keep it to himself.

Since he could make the Chisha City disappear in an instant, that strong man is fully capable of making the entire Gama Empire disappear.

Regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, Jia Xingtian could only endure it silently.

We should even be thankful that the strong man only destroyed the Chisha City.

This is definitely the most rational idea in this world.

Damn it.

Jia Xingtian clenched his hands tightly, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were filled with resentment.

This world is like that.

No matter what the strong do, the weak have no say.

It is a great blessing for the weak if the strong are willing to reason with you.

It is understandable that the strong are unwilling to reason with you. The weak have no right to complain, no matter whether they have done anything wrong or not.

If we have to blame someone, we can only blame them for living in this world.

This is the truth of this world.

"call"

Jia Xingtian stood up, leaned back in his chair, and slowly closed his eyes.

The already old face looked even older now.

What royal guardian, what the strongest in the Gama Empire.

Jia Xingtian enjoyed the people's admiration and respect for most of his life.

But only he himself knows best that in the eyes of those truly powerful people, his honors are simply not worth mentioning.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in thinking more about what happened in Chisha City.

The Gama Empire does not have the power to seek justice for Chisha City.

After a while, Jia Xingtian slowly opened his eyes and looked at the messenger.

"Can the news still be blocked?"

Since there is no way to get justice, all the Gama Empire can do is to conceal the matter as long as possible in order to avoid public panic.

Such actions indeed make the Gama royal family appear cowardly and incompetent.

But there is nothing I can do.

If we insist on reasoning with the unknown strong man who made the entire Chisha City disappear, then I am afraid that everyone in the Gama Empire will not be spared.

It was just the destruction of a Red Sand City. As the weak ones, they should be grateful to the strong one.

After Jia Xingtian asked this question, the messenger was silent for a moment, then lowered his head deeply.

"We are sorry that we tried to block the news as soon as we got it, but...

Although the messenger didn't finish his words, Jia Xingtian understood the result.

"Is it."

Jia Xingtian sighed once again.

That's true. How could the news of such a big city suddenly disappear be blocked?

"Galao!!!"

At this moment, a loud sound came into the hall, and Nalan Jie, the Lionheart Marshal of the Gama Empire, walked in quickly from the door and looked at Jia Xingtian sitting on the throne.

"Jia Lao! The matter of Chisha City."

However, before Nalan Jie could finish his words, Jia Xingtian slowly raised his hand and silently stopped him.

After a moment, in Nalan Jie's astonished eyes, Jia Xingtian said softly.

"This matter ends here. No one is allowed to investigate further."

! ! ! ! !

Jia Xingtian's words struck Nalan Jie as if he were struck by lightning, and his first reaction was disbelief.

Such a huge city of Chisha suddenly disappeared, but Jia Xingtian didn't even bother to investigate? ! Is this still the Jia Xingtian who always puts the empire first? ! !

No. Wrong

After only a brief shock, Nalan Jie reacted and immediately understood.

That’s right, given Jia Xingtian’s character of always putting the empire first in everything, there is only one reason that could make him make such a decision.

That is not to pursue the matter of Chisha City, which is the best option for the Gama Empire.

As for the reason, if you think about the law of the jungle on this continent, it will become clear.

That is, the culprit that caused the disappearance of Chisha City was an existence that the Gama Empire could not contend with.

After figuring this out, Nalan Jie's face turned extremely dark and his whole body was shaking with anger.

But in the end, Nalan Jie suppressed the impulse in his heart and bowed to Jia Xingtian.

"I understand."

Jia Xingtian waved his hand weakly and gave the order.

"General Nalan, go and order people to appease the original residents of Chisha City. Try to settle everyone as well as possible and don't cause trouble."

".yes."

Nalan Jie responded in a low voice, feeling extremely distressed in his heart.

Since he became Marshal Lionheart, he has never felt so aggrieved!

Millions of civilians they were protecting were killed or injured for unknown reasons, but they dared not even speak up for the dead!

Useless!

It's so pathetic!!!

But when faced with such a situation, what else can they, as the weak, do but not be cowardly?

If he wasn't a coward, he would be buried with all the citizens of the Gama Empire to accompany the Chisha City in its burial!

Therefore, you must be cowardly.

I can only feel cowardly.

In the Holy City of Gama, there was already a lot of discussion and even some confusion.

Just as Jia Xingtian said, the sudden disappearance of a city as big as Chisha City could definitely not be concealed.

For a moment, all those who received this news became uneasy and terrified, fearing that the Holy City of Gama would disappear without a trace just like the City of Chisha.

"Mr. Jia! I want to see Mr. Jia!!!"

Outside the palace, several businessmen gathered here, wanting to rush into the palace with tears in their eyes, but were stopped by the guards at the gate.

These merchants were all residents of Chisha City. They were lucky enough to escape the disaster because they happened to come to the Holy City of Gama to do business.

But this luck is only objective.

For these survivors, is it really lucky to be alive by chance?

"Galao! Galao!!!"

"My wife! My children! My parents are all in Chisha City!!!"

"They have been honest and have never done anything bad in their lives! You have to stand up for them!!!"

"I promised my child that I would bring him a gift! I was supposed to go back tomorrow! I can see him tomorrow!!!"

"Jia Lao!"

"Galao!!!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"Mr. Jia! Say something!!!"

Listening to the merchants' complaints of injustice, the guards who blocked their way were heartbroken, but they still abided by their duties and did not let them break into the palace.

All the people I value and the relatives I care about have disappeared from the world, leaving me alone to survive in this world.

How heartbreaking this is for ordinary people like them.

Some survivors of Chisha City even felt that they had lost hope of living the moment they confirmed the authenticity of the news, and committed suicide in most places in the Holy City of Gama, such as hotels, streets, and outside the palace.

Although Nalan Jie had already anticipated this happening, he immediately led his army around the Holy City of Gama to stop those who were seeking suicide.

However, most tragedies cannot be avoided.

When a person really wants to die, how can others stop him?

Even if we stop it, it can only be stopped temporarily, not forever.

For a time, bodies of people who committed suicide were carried away and buried in public on the streets and in hotels, causing panic in the entire Holy City of Gama. Even the prosperity and bustle of the upcoming Alchemist Conference was overshadowed by the aura of death that filled the city.

Walking on the street, a passerby who was walking in front of you one second ago might stab himself in the neck with a knife in despair the next second.

If it was just suicide, it would be okay.

What's worse, some people have completely lost their minds due to despair about life, and started to cause riots and hurt others.

Although Nalan Jie was heartbroken about these people, he had no choice but to arrest them all in order to prevent innocent people from being implicated.

As for those who really could not be stopped, Nalan Jie had no choice but to shoot them to death on the spot.

While the holy city of Gama was shrouded in this atmosphere of despair, a lady dressed in white, resembling a noble lady, strolled leisurely on the depressing street, holding a folding fan in her hand.

This person is Yunying.

Her mood at this moment was completely different from the despair she felt on the street. She even felt comfortable, and the irritation caused by her fun being disturbed had mostly disappeared.

"Hmm~~~ I feel much better~"

Yunying placed the folding fan in her hand lightly against her lips, with a look of great pleasure on her face.

"Then next, it's time to deal with the last guy."

"If you disturb our pleasure, the consequences will be severe~"

Yunying narrowed her eyebrows slightly, revealing a very handsome smile.

In a luxurious hotel in the holy city of Gama, a man stood in the room with a terrified look on his face, looking out the window at the street filled with despair.

This person is none other than Kuro, the president of the Red Sand City Alchemist Guild.

Kuro, who was originally thinking about how to take revenge on Xiao Yan, now had a chaotic mind.

why?

Why did Chisha City suddenly disappear?

Why? !

Kuro kept asking himself this question in his heart, feeling deeply uneasy.

He had a vague feeling.

The disappearance of Chisha City was related to himself.

"President Kuro, are you well?"

？！！

The sudden voice made Kuro's heart skip a beat. He turned his head instantly and saw Yunying appeared in his room at some point.

Kuro also recognized Yunying at the first moment.
