Full-Time Magister: Summoning Eight Demons at the Start

Chapter 189 The Scumbag Uncle

191.

……

"Does he really have to be such a coward?"

After a long and winding journey through Bluestone Town, and confirming that Su Meng was indeed not in the city, Xi Zhe finally led Lü Cheng toward the hotel where Su Lu was staying.

“I have no intention of speculating about the relationship between the siblings, but based on what I know, Mr. Su Lu’s caution is not excessive,” Xi Zhe said.

Su Meng was sent to the Holy City by Su Lu when she was not even ten years old. Su Lu also gained considerable fame at the time for voluntarily handing over the victims.

After all, the victims hidden in human society are like a super bomb that could suddenly explode at any time. If someone is in a bad mood, thousands or tens of thousands of people could die as a result. There are precedents for this kind of thing, and there are even legends of such natural disasters in many places.

Frequent earthquakes of unknown origin, endless blizzards, frequent fires, giant tornadoes rising from the ground, inexplicable mass suicides, and all sorts of eerie legends—these are all the work of the victims.

Based on his understanding of Su Lu, it was highly likely that Su Lu wanted her younger sister to make the most of her remaining strength back then. After all, the idea of ​​controlling the victims was completely unknown to them, at least in the information they had access to.

Even those victims who grew up hidden in human society were almost all noticed by the Holy City after causing huge disasters. Those who could be sealed were sealed, and those who could not were killed on the spot.

Su Lu never expected that Su Meng would have such an ending after being sent to the Holy City. Not only was she not sealed away, but she also became a student of the Archangel and a heretical mage who guarded the Holy City.

“Wasn’t it because he didn’t act like a human being back then?” Lu Cheng said.

What Su Lu did back then was an act of putting righteousness before family.

Just as Yi Zhisha personally killed her brother Wen Tai, Su Lu also personally sent his sister to her death back then.

Rather than waiting for his mother to lose control and be discovered by the Holy City, it's better to hand her over directly, at least she can still be of some use.

“What if it were you?” Xi Zhe asked.

"If you were in that situation, would you keep something that could explode at any moment by your side?"

“No,” Lü Cheng said.

He wouldn't say anything nice like "I'd rather die than not protect my sister." Based on past human experience, the victims knew that this thing was impossible to truly control.

Over the past millennium, many countries have hidden victims who appeared on their land, intending to cultivate them as weapons in their own hands. But without exception, they all played with fire and got burned.

Victims who haven't yet reached a certain level are not too difficult to deal with, but once they reach a higher level, they become true victims of disaster.

Whether or not the disaster bomb explodes is not up to them.

No one wants to detonate themselves, but these bombs will explode on their own after accumulating enough energy.

Including Qin Yu'er, she thought she had controlled her power, but in reality it was because she was in Tianshan, a place where ice elements gathered. Her power's influence was not as great as the natural changes inside Tianshan, so she did not have any accidents.

But once she leaves Tianshan, as time goes by, the power within her will inevitably go out of control.

Even his mother, a space-type disaster victim who was considered to be truly under control by the Holy City, could go out of control. However, she would have a premonition that she was about to erupt, and she would find a no-man's-land to hide in.

But other victims don't have that kind of mobility; by the time they realize they're about to be affected, it's too late to evacuate.

When Qin Yu'er was sealed away, why did the Zu family rush to sever ties with her and even send Zu Xingyi to the south to save his life? It wasn't that the Holy City would affect them, but rather that if the matter of harboring victims was exposed, the Zu family would be crushed by public opinion without the Holy City even needing to say anything!

Hiding a bomb in human society that could cause a huge disaster at any time—to ordinary people, such a person is no different from the Black Vatican.

Is Qin Yu'er controllable? What if she explodes?

Who will take responsibility? Who will be held accountable for those who died as a result?

Zu Xingyi? Can he bear this responsibility?

Even the ancestral family couldn't withstand it.

It's not just that some holy city is suppressing the victims; it's that human society itself cannot tolerate such a situation.

Who would want to stay with a bomb that could explode at any time?

The Holy City merely brought the issue of the victims into the open, and its opposition to handling the victims was not about advocating for their human rights, but simply a test of the Holy City's authority.

Just like those in the original story who supported Mo Fan fighting against the Holy City, Mo Fan was the kind of person who would just fight and be done with it without considering the consequences. At that time, Mo Fan probably realized that he was being used as a pawn. If he really led the Azure Dragon to fight the Holy City and destroyed the Holy City's legal system, it wouldn't be long before the magic war between humans would begin.

The human tendency to be a bully within one's own group is the same in any world.

Attack from the outside? No, the time isn't right.

A civil war? I have an idea.

……

"Acheng, it's been a long time."

Upon entering the hotel room, in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, a meticulously dressed middle-aged man was sitting at the table. Upon seeing Lü Cheng's arrival, Su Lu got up to greet him.

"Oh, it has indeed been a long time, you scumbag," Lu Cheng said indifferently.

Su Lu's eye twitched. "I'm your uncle, your own uncle."

“Yes, my uncle, whom I’ve met three times in total.” Lü Cheng walked to the window and sat down.

His mother disliked this uncle because in his eyes everyone was a pawn, and everything in the world should be sacrificed for him. Even relatives could be abandoned as long as there was a enough price. He was extremely selfish and self-serving, putting profit above all else. Therefore, his mother did not allow him to have any contact with Su Lu.

Before Wen Tai's incident, he had only met Su Lu three times in total, and the atmosphere was not particularly pleasant.

The first time, Su Lu somehow discovered his existence and secretly approached him. Then his mother found out, and that time, his mother almost beat Su Lu to death on the spot!

Su Lu is indeed very strong; his talent is among the best in the world. But when it comes to his mother, he is still a bit outmatched.

The second time, he was taken by Ye Chang to Parthenon, where Su Lu and Yi Zhisha were business partners and met by chance. Then, after his mother heard the news, she rushed back from South America where she was on a mission!

If it weren't for the fact that a fight in Parthenon would cause trouble, Su Lu would have gotten beaten up.

The third time, Su Lu went to the Holy City under the pretense of visiting his sister, but before he even reached his doorstep, his mother beat him and threw him out.

That time, if his father hadn't intervened, his mother was prepared to lead the Assassin's Corps to charge into battle!

“From a young age, my mother told me that she had no brother and I had no uncle in this world. If that scumbag secretly came to me, I must tell her immediately,” Lü Cheng said quietly.

His mother and Su Lu had a very bad relationship, so bad that when faced with that situation back then, his mother never thought of asking Su Lu for help, because she felt that even demons were more trustworthy than Su Lu!

"I know she still hates me for sending her to the Holy City." Su Lu didn't say anything to defend herself. Some things can be denied to the death, but some things are better to admit honestly.

“No, she doesn’t hate that incident,” Lü Cheng said.

"She never hated you for sending her to the Holy City, and she knew how much trouble she would cause you."

Su Lu was taken aback. Lü Cheng continued, "She hates that you lied to her. She told me that after you discovered her victimhood tendencies, you said you would take her to find someone who could help her resolve this matter. In the end, you sold her to the Holy City for your own future."

When his mother went to the Holy City, she knew nothing. Even when she stood in the courtroom, she still didn't realize what was going on.

If it weren't for Archangel Raphael's whim, his mother would have been sealed away in the Holy City back then.

It wasn't until after Raphael's test that his mother realized she had been sold by Su Lu!

She was betrayed by her most trusted brother!

So every time his mother saw Su Lu, she wanted to tear that bastard to pieces!

……

"But in that matter, my approach was already the optimal solution."

Su Lu shrugged and did not refute.

He did lie to Su Meng, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Should we tell Su Meng the truth?

He witnessed firsthand the spatial rift caused by his sister!

Back then, he was just a beginner mage who had recently awakened his magic. Even now, that strange noise is still a psychological trauma for him!

A sudden headache, a sudden urge to cover one's head, a sudden redness in one's eyes, and the entire building cracked open!

Space is more fragile than paper in front of Su Meng!

If he tells Su Meng the truth, and tells her about the dangers of the Holy City, what if the girl panics and cries? Is his small body more powerful than a spatial dimension?

He could only lie, telling Su Meng that the Holy City could solve her problem, telling her not to be nervous, and making her trust the people there.

This is the only thing he can do.

Sending Su Meng to the Holy City, even if she's sealed away, at least she'll have a complete corpse.

Shouldn't you send it?

She didn't even realize when she had disappeared!

“I know,” Lü Cheng said.

“I know that what you did was the best solution. Even I couldn’t think of any other way, and my mom knows it too.”

"But that doesn't change the fact that you're a piece of trash in our eyes."
