Chapter 711: Poor Clown Part Two (1/2)
– Beneath the Swiss iceberg –
Three skinny frozen old men looked at the silver-haired old man and asked, “Why did you let that woman die?”
The silver-haired old man said, “If she doesn’t die, how could we prove that Xu Cheng can save us? If he can’t save her, then there is no hope for us.”
The three old men said, “Who can save a person who commits suicide by shooting a bullet through their head in this world? What you are doing is a bit extreme, we just want to use this woman to force Xu Cheng to compromise.”
The silver-haired old man: “He won’t. I’ve investigated him and he is a man who won’t even accept his fate, let alone compromise with anyone. He’s a man who is not afraid of death, and you want him to do what he doesn’t want to do, he won’t do it, there is no way at all. That woman was determined to die so we couldn’t use her to threaten her man, even if I could stop it this time, there was no way to stop her from having other ways to commit suicide in the future. Her desire to die was too strong, and this woman is not that important. For us, whether Xu Cheng can lengthen the longevity of our lives is the most important thing.”
The silver-haired old man paced for a while. “My students followed the two witnesses, and the first thing they did wasn’t burying her dead body. They transported her to a funeral home to be frozen. If I’m correct, Xu Cheng is unlikely to give up so soon, so we shouldn’t give up either. If he could save this woman, then we would have the hope to continue controlling the world for another few decades. “
One of the three old men sighed, “What’s the use of controlling the world for a few more decades? We are sterilized, we have all the great skills and wealth but there’s no one to inherit it from us. Isn’t this why we are so afraid of dying? We are still traditional in our bones, and having the next generation is the right thing to do.”
The silver-haired old man’s eyes looked like he was deeply touched.
They were eunuchs, so they couldn’t have children, and it was a huge regret that there was no one to inherit the wealth and skills that they had accumulated over the decades. That was the reason why they were afraid to die. Those consortium families could have four generations in the same household, yet they didn’t have a child, and that caused their psychological state to worsen.
Mario and Chekhov went to the funeral home to have Lin Chuxue’s body cleaned up. Lin Chuxue was lying on the bed with that beautiful face, and a woman in charge of the cleanup sighed, “What a beautiful girl, why would she suicide.”
Mario and Chekhov were squatting on the floor with their heads down when Mario heard footsteps. He lifted his eyes and saw Xu Cheng, who was casually dressed.
