Under one person: I, Jin Shining

Chapter 177 Endless Greed
  The King of Nathan Island is difficult to evaluate as a king.

In Su Mo's view, this so-called king is at most just a puppet selected by the 'Sacred Tree' on Nathan Island.

He doesn't deserve to be called king at all.

More importantly, he plays the role of a manager, managing a group of brainwashed people who are ready to sacrifice themselves at any time.

To put it bluntly, a captive king cannot be called king, because in Su Mo's knowledge, nothing can be above the king.

It's impossible to break a tree, not even a god!

Without the king's understanding and responsibility, the entire Nathan Island only lives for a broken tree.

Therefore, Sumer wanted to ask Elijah, is the king of Nathan Island worthy of being called king?

Elijah didn't hesitate at all.

"It's a stupid question, because there is no one in this world who is more worthy of being a king than the king."

However, he began to think again about Su Mo knowing about Wang.

It seemed that the group of people in front of them had made sufficient preparations before choosing to go to the island, otherwise they would not have known about the king's existence.

I just don’t know if I know the identity of my ‘Nathan Wei’.

But even if Su Mo knew this, Elijah wouldn't be particularly surprised. After all, the identity of 'Nathan Wei' is not a big secret to big shots.

It's normal for someone as powerful as Su Mo to know.

"Then are you loyal to the sacred tree, or to the king in your mouth?"

With a smile in his eyes, Su Mo started to get more difficult.

This is the most humiliating thing for the king.

In ancient times, which emperor could tolerate his confidants and right-hand men not being completely loyal to him, but would also offer loyalty to others?

The point is still that the loyalty of one's confidants to others is higher than one's own.

This is an extremely explosive thing in any period of history, and it is also something that is not allowed.

But it is the norm on Nason Island.

In fact, the king is not as important as the sacred tree, because at a certain moment, the king must also devote his loyalty to the sacred tree.

This 'king' is simply a consumable.

So he really doesn’t deserve to be king.

In this regard, Su Mo had only one sentence.

You are disloyal!

Facing such a half-hearted guy, if it were him, he would just load the bolt gun without saying anything.

Blasting the opponent into scum is the final fate of such a person.

After Elijah, who was sitting on the ground, heard this, he also fell into deep thought. Should his first loyalty be to the sacred tree or to the king?
  "Loyalty can't be divided into two halves. There will always be things that need to be broken up, so you are loyal to Elijah. The 'guard' who is loyal to the king and is willing to die for the king, to whom will you dedicate your loyalty."

Su Mo easily exposed Elijah's identity, but he was not surprised.

He was only thinking about Su Mo's problem right now.

Because this is a very difficult decision, the identity of 'Nathan Guard' is decided by the sacred tree, not the king.

Therefore, from birth, they, the people of the gods, were inculcated with the concept of sacrificing their lives for the sacred tree.

But during the long years, they were accompanied by the king
  For any 'Nathan Guard', this is a decision that cannot be made, or it can be said that it is impossible to make a decision.

They will never give up on anyone.

But for Elijah, in the process of thinking, he already knew who his loyalty would be dedicated to.

And because of this, a seed had already been conceived in his heart. This was the seed that was born after seeing the current decline of Nathan Island.

In this plan, he would betray part of his loyalty!
  It's just that he didn't say any of the answers he thought to Su Mo.

After just a moment of silence, he asked again.

"I believe that no one would be idle enough to waste several months of their time by checking whether a complete stranger's body is adequate, right?"

Obviously change the subject.

"Of course there is no such idle person."

Su Mo's smile grew thicker. Since Elijah was not ready to answer, let's end the topic: "But if you cannot complete the equivalent exchange of my gifts to you, then I will naturally not tell you any of my purposes."

Hearing this, Elijah fell silent, indeed, but mainly because he could not answer at all.

But just as he was thinking, Su Mo's voice came to his ears again.

"Give you a choice."

"What choice?"

Elijah became vigilant. Was he trying to persuade him to surrender?

impossible!
  Although he is not as loyal to the king as the sacred tree, he will never surrender to others easily.

Elijah strengthened his heart and planned to die here, but Su Mo asked lightly.

"Do you choose to die here or get out of my room?"

"what?"

Elijah pointed at himself in confusion: "Do you mean you are going to let me go without killing me?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will go back and inform the king of your whereabouts?"

"If we had taken precautions, even you would have paid a heavy price."

Su Mo turned around boredly and sat on the chair again, not looking at Elijah's embarrassed appearance.

"You can get out of here as a waste, then remember to report to your so-called king about my upcoming arrival."

After saying that, Su Mo looked out the window quietly.

In fact, it didn't matter whether Elijah informed them or not, because it was very likely that the king would know about it from the moment they set foot on Nathan Island.

So it doesn't matter.

Elijah is also very interesting. This guy took the main credit for the fall of Nathan Island.

Because he was the one who broke off the golden branch and challenged the throne, and he was also the 'sinner' who attracted 'Behemoth' to Nathan Island.

It can be said that he single-handedly brought Nathan Island to everyone's attention.

Therefore, Su Mo was looking forward to how he would react to his actions in the future.

With a smile on his lips, Su Mo was looking forward to the giant beast 'Behemoth' appearing on Nathan Island.

Crushing without waves is very boring. There must be some unknown changes in the middle to make people look forward to it.

After thinking for a long time, Su Mo looked back at Elijah and found that he had not left at all, and his position had not moved.

Because at this time Elijah was in surprise. The other party had obviously investigated Nason Island, but why was he still showing such a posture now?

It is simply that Nason Island is completely ignored.

"So, your choice is to die here?"

"not at all."

Elijah shook his head, with wisdom flashing in his eyes. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Mo.

"If it is me who is requesting you to let me stay with you for a while, I think you won't refuse me, right?"

In the few short conversations before, he discovered Su Mo's true nature. The man in front of him was an arrogant person.

He didn't take himself seriously at all, he probably wasn't even a shit, so he didn't even bother to do anything.

Although it hurts his dignity to think like this, this is indeed Su Mo's idea, and Elijah interpreted it perfectly.

To Su Mo, he was just a waste, and it didn't matter whether he was with him or not, as long as he was valuable.

As for me, I could just follow Su Mo for a period of time to see if I could figure out his purpose.

Also try to find out what trump card he has that makes him so confident that he can regard Nathan Island as nothing. So before Sumo could speak, Elijah began to explain his use.

"I can introduce you to the situation on Nathan Island. I just won't tell you any news about our divine people."

"Hey, since you don't introduce anything, why are you following us? Do you believe that we will throw you into the sea to feed the fish?"

At this time, Suzaku, who had been quiet all this time, spoke.

She was completely shocked by the strength of Ma Xianhong and Barun.

I don't know where Su Mo found so many strong men. They were everywhere like cabbage.

An enemy that he was not even sure about was easily defeated. Doesn't this mean that even if he is involved, the final outcome will be like this.
  He felt a little anxious in his heart, worried that there were too many strong men around Su Mo and that he would become a vase. This was the scene Su Mo didn't want to see the most.

After coming back to his senses, he heard Elijah's words and couldn't help but speak out.

"Following us is a lie, but trying to find out our purpose is the real thing."

"That's not important, beautiful lady."

Elijah did not answer Sumo's question directly, but looked at Su Mo seriously.

"What do you think?"

"Since you are so willing to follow me, then follow me, but don't do anything to make me unhappy, otherwise, you will die miserably."

"I am Nathan Wei, a man who lives to keep his promises."

As a result, the Sumo team, except for Barron who could slip away at any time, once again gained Elijah, a young man of [-].

After settling Elijah's matter.

Su Mo and his party were trapped in a situation with nothing to do, they just had to wait for time to go to Nason Island.

It's time to take a good rest and prepare for what's to come.

Because Su Mo arrived without notice, Suzaku began to urgently contact Big G to prepare for departure tomorrow.

Avoid delaying for too long.

Due to the change of time, Big G temporarily increased the price. Suzaku reported to Su Mo, and then he satisfied Big G's greed.

So under a simple money offensive, the greedy Big G was temporarily satisfied, and immediately arranged the trip for Su Mo and his party.

In fact, Su Mo didn't need to waste so much time preparing transportation to Nason Island. He only needed to tell Er Zhuang and the matter could be easily solved.

But Su Mo was too lazy.

After all, if she really wanted to take action, she might have to go through the company, which would be quite troublesome.

It's good like this now, and I can still enjoy the scenery along the way.

Lu Linglong and Fu Rong, who had been sleeping, finally woke up in the afternoon.

Seeing this, Su Mo also took the three of them to have a good time here. After all, they are going to a small island tomorrow and will stay for who knows how long.

Let’s play enough first and then talk about it.

The next day, around ten o'clock.

Su Mo successfully landed on a dilapidated-looking ship with a group of people.

This is a very ordinary-looking ship.

And it was not just Su Mo and his party, but hundreds of strangers who boarded the ship one after another.

They are all guests of this ship.

Yes, the ship Big G arranged for Su Mo and the others was an ordinary ship, but what was more special was its route.

This ship will deliberately pass by Nathan Island. Although it will not stop, it will get closer. If you want to land on the island, the only option is to jump off the ship.

They are all strangers. They just jumped out of the boat and sprinkled water on them.

After all, even the leader of Nason Island’s ‘bazaar’ has limits to the power he can mobilize in a hurry.

But Su Mo didn't pay attention to this little thing.

After just glancing at the surrounding situation, he started wandering on the ship.

"Master, do you want to teach this trash a lesson when you get to the island?"

Behind him, Suzaku said dissatisfiedly: "Otherwise, this guy really thinks that I am made of mud! He treats me as a big fat sheep!"

The cost this time was constantly raised by Big G, and in the end it was a sky-high price. The treasury that Suzaku had worked hard for until now was completely sucked dry.

Money was not a trivial matter, but the point was that she couldn't stand the sinful and ugly faces of these greedy people. It was simply disgusting.

Hearing Zhuque's voice full of anger, Su Mo did not answer her temporarily, but looked into the distance.

Lu Linglong and Fu Rong in front were looking at the sea with curious faces, like curious babies.

The two of them have never seen the sea, because one of them has been practicing hard for the first half of his life, studying when he has time, and has no time to wander around.

The other one simply has no money.

After seeing their appearance, Su Mo answered Suzaku's question.

"Don't worry little bird, a greedy person will not be satisfied easily, especially if his greed is constantly satisfied by us, then his greed will continue to expand until we are all swallowed up."

"Perhaps as soon as we land, he will not be able to help but send people to test our background. If he finds that we are weak, he will catch us all."

While talking, Su Mo also leaned on the railing, quietly feeling the sea breeze.

"What if this guy named Big G doesn't come?"

Suzaku asked worriedly, she was afraid that the other party would not take the initiative to come to her door and let them kill her.

"This is completely impossible. Little Bird, you are overestimating the chaos and greed of people on Nathan Island." Su Mo said calmly.

"But since you asked, little bird."

"Then let's do an experiment. If he comes, we will catch them all and leave no one behind."

"But what if you don't come?"

Suzaku became energetic all of a sudden.

"If you don't come, then I will satisfy your request and treat it as your reward for successfully completing the mission this time."

After hearing this, I was not excited anymore, but my whole body was filled with motivation. I wished I could just carry this ship and fly directly to Nason Island.

Suzaku's ruby ​​​​immediately burned, and her long golden hair began to dance unconsciously.

It just so happened that she had too many things to trouble Su Mo. At least that snake-headed treasure that could breathe fire was something she had dreamed about several times.

With this Noble Phantasm, her strength will be greatly improved. At least she will have the confidence to defeat the blond man in a fight.

Moreover, Suzaku can also feel that there is a destructive power in that precious phantom that he cannot control.

And even if you don’t need this treasure.

She also had other things to trouble Su Mo about.

However, as a precaution, she still asked carefully.

"real or fake?"

After all, there was no need to pay anything, and there was no punishment for failure, which made her somewhat unbelievable.

"Of course it's true. When have you ever seen me lie to someone?"

Su Mo was full of smiles.

Big G will come, and no matter what happens, he will send his men to see what the big fat sheep looks like.

Because in an island of chaos, if you don’t even have the courage to try and a certain amount of greed, you really don’t deserve to be the leader of the ‘bazaar’.

merchant?

In the face of interests, do businessmen have a bottom line?
