Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

"We killed only evil!"

"us..."

Slightly flustered, Ron rattled off a series of incoherent "we" statements.

He emphasized that Behemoth killed in the name of freedom and peace, and that it was not for his own selfish desires to take other people's lives.

Killing someone is evil and unforgivable.

Behemoth's killings equaled freedom and peace; they were right, just, and forgivable.

This wave of Ron's inequality is truly a case of double standards.

...

“Wang… Ron is right. I did commit a crime. Whatever the reason, assassinating you was a wrong decision I made… I am willing to accept any punishment.”

At this moment, Larry slowly began to speak.

Listening to Larry's words, President Lilia still wanted to protect her assistant, who had no other choice, but she hadn't said it yet.

After all... it depends on the king's attitude. If the king insists on Larry's death, there's nothing she can do.

Looking at King Nathan before her, Lilia swallowed hard, bracing herself for the king's judgment.

"Oh, so any punishment is acceptable, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin and then glanced at Zhao Fangxu without making a sound.

Seeing that Zhao Fangxu was also waiting for his answer, he decided not to be polite.

“I accept any punishment from the king.” Larry had prepared for the worst.

"Fine, you woke me up in the middle of the night and staged this assassination attempt, so it's reasonable for you to give me some compensation for emotional distress, right?"

Zhou Fengliu sat on the sofa and slowly began to speak.

"Besides that, shouldn't the hotel also be compensated for its losses and fines?"

"?"

Larry, who was prepared to be sentenced to death, was stunned when he heard the conditions proposed by Zhou Fengliu.

Not only him, but everyone else present was also somewhat bewildered by Zhou Fengliu's words about "compensation for mental distress".

Want money?

Am I right?

Was Wang just asking for compensation for emotional distress?

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, President Lilia hurriedly spoke up:

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"Do you think I'm not serious?" Zhou Fengliu frowned.

Hearing the king's question, President Lilia was deeply moved by the king's magnanimity.

In her eyes, anything that can be solved with money is no big deal.

You should know that the Children of the Earth is a regional organization of supernatural beings, so they definitely have money and such.

"Just name a number, and we, the Children of the Earth, will give it to you on Larry's behalf."

"Um..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fengliu pondered for a moment, then spread his five fingers to make the number "five".

Five million?

Seeing Zhou Fengliu gesture the number five, Lilia tentatively asked a question.

"?"

When Zhou Fengliu heard Lilia mention five million, he felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water, instantly sobering up a bit.

five million?

what?

He had only wanted 500,000 as a token amount... but Lilia raised the amount tenfold.

What exactly does this "Children of the Earth" do? Are they really that wealthy and powerful?

"Five million... five million isn't out of the question."

Zhou Fengliu coughed lightly, trying to suppress his inner shock.

“Then let’s do as the king says, five million US dollars to compensate for the emotional distress caused by the assassination…” Seeing that the king didn’t mind the amount, Lilia immediately agreed.

"?"

What the hell?

Or in US dollars?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow slightly; he hadn't expected there to be a surprise behind this.

Five million US dollars, that's over ten million RMB...

motherfucker.

We need to communicate more with foreigners; they're so rich and powerful.

First King Nathan, and then President Lilia, both exude an aura of wealth and power.

Compared to his close friend, Feng Shayan of the Tianxia Group, who was throwing money around so extravagantly, Yanzi (Feng Shayan's nickname) didn't even seem particularly generous...

Just as Zhou Fengliu was happily preparing to agree, an unexpected incident occurred.

creak-

As the door slowly opened, the real King Nathan appeared in the reception room, surrounded by Chen Duo, Tao Tao, and Alfonso, attracting everyone's attention.

Grass.

It is a type of plant.

When Zhou Fengliu saw Nasen King appear in person, his heart was filled with turmoil.

You know, King Nathan... he could have appeared any earlier or later, but of all times, he had to show up at this crucial moment...

Will he still be able to get his hands on those five million dollars?

pain.

It hurts too much.

The feeling of missing out on a five million dollar opportunity is like the pain of losing a loved one.

He looked at King Nathan, then sighed.

Forget it.

What I gain is my fate, what I lose is my fortune.

What is not meant to be mine, I am destined not to keep...

Zhou Fengliu also chose to give up, treating it as a dream, and was still excited when he woke up.

Although he lost the five million dollars, the one million dollars he received for being a body double was a real sum...

...

"Brother Liu, that's a wrap." Zhang Chulan said slowly, looking at Zhou Fengliu, whose expression wasn't very good.

"Ah."

"Ladies and gentlemen...this is the true King Nathan."

Elijah then introduced King Nathan to everyone.

As Elijah explained, everyone's expressions seemed to freeze at that moment.

"This is King Nathan, and he is...?"

All eyes fell on Zhou Fengliu. Despite being the center of attention, Zhou Fengliu remained calm and composed. He shrugged and then said:

"Who else could it be? A body double, of course."

"what?"

"substitute?"

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, everyone present, including Larry kneeling on the ground, felt as if they had been put on a show.

"I'm sorry, everyone. Whether you can accept it or not, believe me, I will give you a reasonable explanation."

King Nathan himself addressed the crowd in this manner.

...

The next day.

Inside the conference room, King Nathan, holding a microphone, explained the background to the group of foreign dignitaries sitting below.

"That's roughly how it happened. I coerced the people from Nadutong Company into deceiving everyone, and I, King Nasen, will take full responsibility."
