Chapter 181: All Kinds of Rationalization
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This golden dragon was hunting the black dragon, and the black dragon wanted to use their country South Korea to fight off the attack.
It wanted to bait their country South Korea into fighting with this golden dragon, so it could exploit the chance to run away.
That was why it lured the golden dragon into attacking in the middle of Seoul city.
This was outrageous.
Damn it!
Damn this black dragon! The golden dragon was no saint either; its disdain for their country South Korea was clearly visible.
Both of them deserved to die!
Ryu Sikyung and Lee Jaeyi exchanged looks with each other, and they both saw the rage in each other’s eyes.
Ryu Sikyung took a deep breath, and he yelled, “Do the both of you really want to develop a deadly feud with our South Korea?
“If you leave now, we can take it that nothing happened.”
Immediately after he finished, the South Korean citizens below them and in front of the TV were the first to feel furious and desperate.
They already caused so much hurt to the South Koreans, even killing so many people; how could they take it that nothing happened?
This was a huge blow to their pride. They were unable to accept it.
Damn it, that should not be allowed!
“No, no way! You can’t let them go!”
“Yes, they cannot leave freely!”
“Damn it, Master Ryu must not let them go. If not, South Korea will lose all our dignity! We must kill them both.”
“No, I cannot accept this. Our South Korea is so powerful; how could we allow murderers to leave freely?!”
“Enough, stop fighting. I know what Master Ryu intends to do. He’s worried that if they continue to fight in Seoul, more citizens would get hurt.”
“That’s right, that’s the case! That must be the case. If not, there is no way our South Korea’s number one, and the world’s number three of all humans, is so timid.”
“Yes, exactly that.”
“Yes, we misunderstood Master Ryu.”
…
…
Discussion on the South Korean Internet was heated, and the many differing views were reconciled after a while.
Due to their huge confidence, they were always able to rationalize everything and, at the same time, be fully convinced by their reasons.
At the same time, the South Korean leader—who was in the distance—was displeased.
He gritted his teeth and said with displeasure, “Can’t Master Ryu be more indirect when he speaks?
“This would be such a huge blow to our national confidence.”
The people beside him did not reply; neither did they know what to reply.
All the leader himself said was to ask Master Ryu to be more indirect; how would they dare to reprimand Master Ryu?
The South Korean leader paused to sigh and continued to say, “It must be because Master Ryu had no other choice. He did it to prevent more South Korean citizens from getting hurt.
“Immediately explain it to the netizens and influence their opinions.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Someone answered immediately.
Jin Qiong did not know about the situation in South Korea; neither was he interested in knowing.
After hearing what Ryu Sikyung said, Jin Qiong—who was already annoyed that he was intimidated by the 12 alliances—felt even more furious.
He glared at Ryu Sikyung with his contemptuous gaze and snarled, “Leave! If you dare to interrupt me again, I’ll slaughter your whole species.”
Ryu Sikyung’s and Lee Jaeyi’s expressions were dark; it was too humiliating.
The dragon was blatantly disrespecting them and South Korea, how detestable!
However, they could feel the power from the collisions. They gritted their teeth and endured it.
The uplifting words by people below them and in front of the screens froze.
Desperation from the inability to accept the blow appeared on their faces again.
“Are Master Ryu and Master Lee planning to continue to endure after the dragons did that?”
“Why must we tolerate that? They have trampled on our South Korea’s dignity! I think Master Ryu is a coward.”
“Everyone, don’t panic. Master Ryu and Master Lee can withstand all the humiliation for the safety of more citizens. We should be respectful; how can we distrust them?”
“It’s fine; everyone, calm down. Think about it, Master Ryu is the third-strongest human in the world, and Master Lee is in the top ten as well.
“Once they fight with these two evil dragons, how much destruction would that cause to Seoul? How many citizens would be hurt or killed?
“The best solution now is what Master Ryu and Master Lee are doing—swallow their own pride and ignore all the humiliation thrown at them.
“Let these two evil dragons handle their own problems, and once that black evil dragon is defeated, the golden evil dragon will naturally leave on its own.
“The damage caused by two dragons fighting would definitely be smaller than the damage caused by four powerful beings fighting, am I right?
“This was the best option.
“So we can tell how noble Master Ryu and Master Lee are. For the sake of our South Korean citizens, they have lowered their dignity.
“As expected of the powerful beings of South Korea, we should all learn from them—give up one’s honor for our South Korea.”
The logical comment pinned to the top of the discussion immediately convinced the innumerable number of desperate South Koreans again.
They became full of vigor. That’s right, that must be the case: the two masters are too noble; they should all learn from the two.
Furor swept the Internet again.
The South Korean leader, who had been paying attention to the comments, finally heaved a sigh of relief.
He immediately looked at the two fighting dragons again and gritted his teeth irately.
On the battleground, Jin Qiong snickered as he looked at Ryu Sikyung and Lee Jaeyi who dared not do anything.
The humans of this world were indeed useless. Those 12 alliances? Trash.
Once I kill this damned beast, I’ll go back to gather some subordinates and come back to occupy this world.
The black dragon lost all hope completely. The humans refused to fight even when things were at this level.
Thoughts raced across his mind as he thought of ways to escape.
In the blink of an eye, he quickly made up his mind. After a collision, he made use of the momentum and retreated in the direction of Ryu Sikyung.
He was so fast that even Ryu Sikyung, who had been alert all the time, was unable to react.
He wanted to dodge, but the black dragon’s massive body was already near.
At the same time, the golden dragon also came close.
In the blink of an eye, he was in the attacking range of the two dragons.
Jin Qiong felt that it was a nuisance and glared at him. With a wave of his dragon claw, a powerful golden beam cut across the sky.
“Get lost.”
At the sound of his contemptuous voice, the golden beam collided with Ryu Sikyung who was unable to dodge in time.
Boom!
It was as though someone had swatted at a fly with their hand. Countless people stared in disbelief as Ryu Sikyung was thwacked away without even defending himself. Blood spewed out from his mouth, and it immediately evaporated in the sky.
His body crashed into a tall building in the distance like a torn rag or a meteorite.
Bang!
Half of the tall building collapsed under the crash, and numerous screams sounded.
Jin Qiong did not care; neither did the black dragon. The black dragon was even planning to repeat the events with the other remaining man after using Ryu Sikyung to block the attack.
However, the other terrified man already ran far away frantically.
The black dragon looked at the distance between him and the man. It might not be difficult to catch up with him, but it would be tough trying to fend off Jin Qiong’s attack from the back.
He could only give up this plan regretfully and continue to lower his flying height to make use of the high-rise buildings in dodging Jin Qiong.
The damage that would result from this would not be part of his concerns.
At the same time…
The South Korean Internet, which was originally heated, became dead silent.
Numerous South Koreans all over the country turned desperate and broke down.
How could this be?!
How could this happen?!
What we saw is not true.
That definitely isn’t true. How could Master Ryu, who is the third-strongest human, be swatted away so easily by that golden dragon?!
That is impossible.
An innumerable amount of eyes bore hard into the Internet, hoping to see someone give an explanation.
They were like someone drowning, struggling to grasp at straws.
They could not accept this fact.
In the South Korea Internet Control Center…
The numerous pairs of eyes looked in disbelief. Then, they looked unanimously at a balding middle-aged man.
All of them looked at him to wordlessly ask: ‘how should we explain it now?’
The middle-aged man felt his head spin, and he had no other choice but to report to his superiors.
Just then, someone yelled.
“Oh, no! The overseas netizens are mocking.”
All of them looked over, and sure enough, they saw comments from overseas appearing online.
“Haha, this was the so-called third-most-powerful human? How powerful indeed. Where did they get their confidence?”
“Don’t you know? South Korea’s confidence was eaten by themselves long ago. They proclaimed this number three by themselves.”
“Sigh, why do they even qualify to form an alliance? They don’t even have nuclear weapons. If all of our human alliances are that weak, then humanity would really be over.”
“Don’t worry, a certain human alliance does not represent all humans.”
…
…
One after another mocking comments appeared rapidly, and it constantly battered the prideful hearts of South Koreans.
The middle-aged man immediately turned furious after reading the comments.
“Detestable! Don’t these people have any ounce of sympathy? They are still making snide remarks at this point in time!
“Quickly, ban it! Ban everything and cut Internet access to all overseas users.”
Appearing to have received an order, the middle-aged man immediately instructed.
Once the subordinates had banned the comments, he continued to instruct, “Immediately post online to say that Master Ryu did that on purpose.
“He is pretending to be so weak on purpose so the two evil dragons will not pay attention to our South Korea. Once they belittle us, they won’t threaten us with our citizens.
“It will reduce the damage caused to our citizens if they would just leave after their fighting ends.
“Master Ryu did all of that for the sake of South Korea; he even sacrificed his own honor.”
Upon hearing the instruction, some of their expressions turned grim, while some seemed to buy the story.
Regardless of what they felt, all of them started working.
Very soon, on the South Korean Internet, numerous comments influencing the public’s opinions were posted.
Gradually, more than half of the general mood was recovered.
Many citizens chose to believe, and their pride returned.
Meanwhile, on the overseas Internet, countless snide comments appeared.
“What the heck, they banned us. How shameful, they just banned us once they realized they couldn’t win the argument.”
“Shouldn’t you be used to it by now? The South Koreans are like that, always so inexplicably confident, arrogant, and proud. They just unilaterally end the argument once they can’t win. They are just shameless.
“They can even paint something black into white; this is nothing.”
“The previous poster is right. There is nothing to be shocked about. This is common for South Koreans.”
“I’m sorry, I should be used to it and not overestimate the principles of South Koreans.”
…
Meanwhile, the South Korean leader was looking at the events happening through the screen with a grim face.
On his hand was the phone that he just used to communicate with Te Bajing.
The people present were all silent and did not dare to speak.
After a while, one of the men couldn’t stand to see the casualties rising and said, “Leader, we can’t just look and do nothing. More and more citizens are injured and killed.”
The South Korean leader gave a death stare as he gritted his teeth and said, “If not, what can we do? Let those countries fire nuclear weapons at Seoul now?!”
The man did not dare to say anything else. All he felt was desperation.
They truly had no other solutions.
“I think that the golden dragon will defeat the black dragon very soon. When that happens, it should leave Seoul. Then, we can ask India to avenge us.
“We will make this golden dragon pay the price,” one of the men looked around and exclaimed with enthusiasm.
The room was silent for two seconds before countless sounds of agreement were heard.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Yes, our time to avenge would come.”
“Yes, the dragons don’t get to be impudent for long.”
…
Suddenly, it seemed like the people here were already celebrating the defeat of the two dragons.
The expression of the South Korean leader turned slightly better. He did not say anything more and just looked intently at the screen.
In the safe house where the Lee family was transferred…
After Lee Jaemyung received a call, he looked at his children and said, “You have heard it as well. Our leader has no solutions currently. What do you think?”
Lee Boksan said with contempt, “The leader is trash. All he could manage is to watch and wait for the two dragons to leave by themselves. Hmph.”
Disappointment flashed across Lee Jaemyung’s eyes, and he turned to look at his daughter.
Lee Bokbyul said firmly, “Dad, I think that our South Korea needs to change.
“If this continues, only death awaits.”
…
In the capital of China…
Dong Pingtao was looking at the livestream video as well. After he ended the video conference with Te Bajing and others, the corners of his lips curled upward, and he shook his head.
He sent out an instruction: “After those two dragons leave Seoul, cooperate with India and destroy them with nuclear weapons.
“Also try to find their world passage.
“No matter what, we can’t let them step into the China Alliance.”
“Understood.”
In the Tiger King’s Cave…
Wang Hu and Di Baijun were also looking at the videos of the two dragons fighting in Seoul.
After a couple of looks, Di Baijun said with disdain, “These two mixed-blood worms are far from the bloodline of a True Dragon.”
Wang Hu was surprised; he asked with a smile, “You can even tell through a video?”
Di Baijun smiled proudly. Back in the day, she fought countless times with those True Dragons.
She lost count of how much dragon meat, and even True Dragon meat, she had eaten.
It was no surprise that she could tell.
Of course, there was no need to tell these to the rascal.
In case he gets intimidated… and it was hard to explain, too.
She thought for a while and said, “It’s obvious. A True Dragon bloodline would be at the Heaven’s Vault Realm once they mature, even without cultivation.
“The exception is when the True Dragon awakens after birth. However, it’s extremely rare for True Dragons to awaken after birth.
“These two mature worms are definitely not of True Dragon bloodline.”
