I alone have my own laws; I start by fabricating myths and legends of mountains and seas.

Chapter 88 The King Cannot Be Humiliated

"Now," Xia Jie's voice rang out again, chillingly calm, "tell me, where is the nest of these three ants? Who else is in their house?"

Tokugawa Koji didn't understand why his lord wanted this, but still managed to answer, "My lord—they—they are members of a branch of the Yamaguchi-gumi yakuza, but I—I need to find out their exact address—I wonder why my lord is asking this—"

"Your Majesty cannot be humiliated. You dare to provoke me? You don't think you can just die and be done with it! I will make your entire clan live in despair and wailing." Xia Jie's tone was matter-of-fact.

Tokugawa Koji felt a chill; this was the mindset of a pure tyrant who treated human life like dirt and disregarded all consequences! Their tone was so natural, it was as if they were discussing what to eat later!

Tokugawa Koji didn't consider himself a particularly virtuous person, but he couldn't keep up with the thinking of his lord, Xia Jie.

If a ruler treats his ministers like his own hands and feet, then the ministers will treat the ruler like their own heart and soul; if a ruler treats his ministers like dogs and horses, then the ministers will treat the ruler like a fellow countryman; if a ruler treats his ministers like dirt and weeds, then the ministers will treat the ruler like an enemy.

Xia Jie's actions went far beyond treating human life as a game; he didn't even consider people as human beings!

Tokugawa Koji was the kind of person whose goodness and evil weren't entirely pure. To wipe out an entire family over such a trivial matter—his values ​​are still difficult to accept at first glance.

After all, what did these three unlucky guys do? They came to me demanding repayment of their debts, and ended up offending the Lord, resulting in their deaths!

Now they will be wiped out! This is an absolutely undeserved disaster for their family.

"My lord, please calm your anger! I have no intention of questioning you!" Tokugawa Koji spoke rapidly, his mind racing to organize his thoughts. "It's just that—it's just that you've only recently arrived in this land, and your divine power has not yet been fully displayed. If we were to take such drastic action now, it would certainly deter the villains, but it would also immediately attract the attention of the authorities, the police, and even—they might not be able to find you, but I would certainly be the first to be affected, and it would be difficult for me to continue serving you here."

Tokugawa Koji paused, stealing a glance at Xia Jie. Seeing that the other party did not immediately lash out, he continued cautiously, "Moreover, my lord, you are well aware that these ants are merely henchmen following orders. The one who truly offended you is the Yamaguchi-gumi, the organization behind them!"

Tokugawa Koji's voice carried a deliberate incitement: "If Your Majesty wishes to establish authority and display supreme majesty, instead of crushing these little insects and their eggs, why not directly find their leader, the head of the Yamaguchi-gumi! Make their leader pay the price for offending the divine majesty! In this way, Your Majesty's divine power can be demonstrated."

Tokugawa Koji bowed deeply at the last moment, his voice earnest and humble: "In my humble opinion, please make your judgment, Your Majesty! If Your Majesty deems exterminating the entire family more appropriate, I—I will immediately go and inquire about their address and family!"

Tokugawa Koji lay prostrate on the ground, his body trembling slightly, awaiting the verdict that would decide his fate.

Koji Tokugawa felt that compared to the innocence of his family, there were bound to be some who slipped through the net when the Yamaguchi-gumi, a yakuza organization, randomly killed nine out of ten people.

Since you've chosen the path of the underworld and joined a gang, you should be prepared to be killed! Anyway, these gangsters aren't exactly good people!

This is the greatest act of kindness Tokugawa Koji could do: to spare no harm to the family! The families of these gang members themselves are not inherently evil, but since Xia Jie's lord has been insulted and needs revenge, he can send his lord to take revenge on the evil gang members.

Of course, if King Jie of Xia still wanted to kill these people's families, he would diligently inquire about the situation for King Jie.

A brief silence fell over the room, broken only by Tokugawa Koji's heavy breathing and the thumping of his heart. Xia Jie's silence was like a sword hanging over his head!

"Lead the way, I am not some bloodthirsty ruler." The voice of the tyrant Xia Jie finally rang out!

This is true. Su Fan loves every human being equally. If he could, Su Fan would not want to kill anyone, even if they were Japanese.

However, the deduction and development of the Ghost Cultivation Extraordinary System requires human lives as a price. Su Fan loves everyone, but the value of a specific individual is not as great as that of the Ghost Cultivation Extraordinary System to all mankind.

The so-called weighing is to choose the greater of two benefits and the lesser of two harms.

Tokugawa Koji inwardly scoffed, after all, his values ​​were formed in modern society, and he couldn't quite understand the mindset of wiping out an entire family just because someone insulted him.

But no matter how much inner turmoil he felt, his expression remained respectful and his manners impeccable.

In Japan, gangsters and yakuza groups typically congregate in bustling commercial and entertainment districts.

Moreover, they have their own system, and ordinary people usually leave quickly when they pass by their gathering points.

They would use cool, direct signs to announce that this was a gathering place for gangsters and yakuza, and that ordinary people who came here without a reason would be considered a provocation!

However, it is very easy for ordinary people to find! Soon, led by Tokugawa Koji, the tyrant Xia Jie followed behind and soon arrived at a quiet place in a bustling commercial street.

Tokugawa Koji knocked on the door, but Xia Jie shoved Tokugawa Koji aside and kicked the door open.

The door exploded inwards with a bang under Xia Jie's foot, sending wood chips flying and violently interrupting the noisy commotion and smoke inside.

Several shirtless, tattooed men were sitting together playing cards, while a few others were wiping baseball bats or knives in a corner. The sudden loud noise startled everyone, and they all turned around in surprise.

Xia Jie's gaze was like a cold blade, sweeping over everyone present. His eyes were full of condescending arrogance, as if he were looking at a group of livestock waiting to be slaughtered.

"Baka! Who came from, you bastard, daring to cause trouble here!" A burly man with a face full of scars and a tiger tattooed on his chest was the first to react. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up, cursing as he grabbed the metal baseball bat beside him.

The others also stood up, surrounded him with unfriendly expressions and menacing glints in their eyes.

"Who is in charge here?" the tyrant Xia Jie asked, his voice not loud, yet strangely drowning out all the noise. "Become my slave, or die!"

Someone glanced at Xia Jie and Tokugawa Koji, their gaze lingering on Tokugawa Koji for a moment, as if recognizing the unfortunate fellow who owed them money.

"Kid, you've got some nerve! You owe money and don't pay it back, and you even dare to bring people to cause trouble? Is this the accomplice you hired?"

It looks intimidating, but do you know where this place is?

"Who do you think you are? The emperor? The Emperor? I think you should be sent to a mental hospital! Kid, whoever you are, none of you are leaving here standing up!"

"Break their legs and throw them out! That Tokugawa Koji, he squeezed every last penny out of them!"

A group of gangsters, relying on their numbers, made a noisy commotion, looked at people with disdain, and spoke arrogantly.

"Indeed, there is a way to die. A king cannot be humiliated!" said the tyrant Xia Jie.

After speaking, black mist swirled around him, gradually coalescing into a human shape, which was exactly the appearance of the three debt collectors who had been killed earlier.

This is part of the results of the Heavenly Dao's research on the Ghost Cultivation Extraordinary System, which is fundamentally different from the spiritual phantom that Su Fan summoned before.

These spirits can indeed be called ghosts in some ways!
