The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

Chapter 152 Your idea is flawed!

Of course, this matter cannot be rushed. First of all, we must find out the specific information, such as what the route maps of the two races are like and how to infiltrate safely.

Also, where are these succubi hiding? If we don't find out this information, sending people there will just be a waste of time.

Jiang Chen needs to consider these issues now. Once these issues are resolved, he can send people over.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it now. Let's try to get some information from Lilith first."

Muttering to himself, Jiang Chen ran off to find Lilith.

Then, not long after...

"So Jiang Chen, you mean you want to steal our essence!"

Hearing Lilith's voice rise several decibels, Jiang Chen impatiently gestured for her to calm down.

"I've told you so many times, this isn't stealing, this is borrowing, do you understand? Borrowing and stealing are not the same thing, do you understand?"

"Besides, didn't I consult you, the master, before I did this? So don't get this condition confused."

Lilith didn't believe a word of this wicked Pata's excuses.

"Impossible. No matter what you say, this is impossible."

"I can't believe you're so despicable, actually coveting our race's possessions. And didn't you promise me you wouldn't touch that thing?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen began to patiently explain again.

"Who agreed to that? When did they agree? Do you have any proof? And speaking of which, why do you have such a strong sense of belonging to your little race? I'm quite curious. Given your current situation, if I didn't wipe out that race, I would be letting myself down."

"And even if we take a step back and assume you truly have deep feelings for your race, can we look at it another way? You could become the lord of this race from now on, wouldn't that be better?"

"Now, all you need to do is offer a little help, and I guarantee you'll be the lord of the succubus race from now on."

However, Lilith shook her head frantically at this pie in the sky.

"You make it sound so easy. I'm not trying to discourage you, but if you and the succubus race really went to war, you wouldn't stand a chance. And most importantly, if they really took that thing, it would have a huge impact on our race. Our race would definitely be besieged by other races."

"As for becoming a lord, I will do so through my own efforts."

Hearing Lilith's ambition, Jiang Chen almost laughed out of anger.

"If you're not sisters, where do you get the audacity to say something like that?"

"I'm not trying to be mean, but can we use our brains a little when we talk? Becoming a lord through your own efforts? You must be dreaming."

"Let me put it this way: to become a lord, first you need your own power. Where is your power? Without our help, you're just a figurehead. What makes you think you can become a lord? Besides, if you want others to listen to you, you have to offer them enough benefits. And right now, you're penniless and owe us so much gold. Where are you going to get those benefits?"

"Given your situation, you can't offer anyone any benefits. Why do you think they'd risk their lives for you? Just because you're the clan chief's daughter, and an unloved one at that, does that mean they'd follow you, risk their lives, and work for you?"

"Let me tell you, don't be so naive. This kind of thing is absolutely impossible. In the adult world, interests are the most important thing. Take your father for example. He favors your sister, you know that, right?"

"6

Hearing this, Lilith nodded. It was true, and she certainly wouldn't deny it. "After all, my father and sister have lived together for so many years, and their relationship is definitely much deeper than that of me, their daughter who has just been found."

"If it weren't for this reason, that bad guy wouldn't have been able to frame me so easily and put me in this state."

Lilith said this with a hint of indignation.

After being brought back, she didn't have a good life. Her adopted sister often used various reasons to frame and suppress her, and no matter how she explained, her own father didn't believe her.

Sometimes, even when I presented the evidence to him, my father would simply say, "After all, we're all family."

However, every time she made a mistake, she would be punished by her father to some extent, and the punishment became more and more severe. Moreover, her father felt that she was becoming more and more immature, which made Lilith feel extremely wronged.

Lilith still can't understand why things turned out this way; her father was far too biased towards his stepsister, who was not related to him by blood.

The more Lilith thought about it, the more upset she became.

"That's why I want to prove I'm better than my adopted sister!"

"I will strive to become the lord of the succubus race and prove to my father that I am no weaker than that cheap little sister."

"My father will definitely look at me with new respect then."

Upon hearing what Lilith said, Jiang Chen blinked, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

"Wait... what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."

"No, you mean that when you become the lord, you'll do it just to impress your father, and then what?"

J

"And then..." Lilith thought for a moment, "Then I'll make that cheapskate sister regret being my enemy."

"Wang Defa!"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but swear.

"No, do you even want to listen to what you're saying?"

"I recognize every single word you say, but when you put them together, I don't understand a single one."

"So you're saying you don't have a brain, just a brain full of water? Otherwise, how could you have such outrageous ideas and say such outrageous things? I'm really curious."

"Damn it. Even in this situation, you became a lord just to make your father regret it? What the hell is going on in your head? And you want your cheap little sister to regret it too? I'll curse your grandpa!"

Jiang Chen felt his blood pressure rising uncontrollably.

It was hard to believe that these words came from someone who had been following him for so long. Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

It's my fault for not teaching this brat properly.

"Don't speak yet, listen to me first."

"I think if a normal person were in this situation, their first thought wouldn't be to make so-and-so regret it, their first thought would definitely be to kill him."

"Your cheap sister ruined you, and you're only going back to make her regret it. Are you out of your mind? Are you sure you're not sane enough to say something like that?"

"As for your father's favoritism towards your sister, and his claim of affection, screw that. Let me tell you, it's all for profit."

Your stepsister has connections with many powerful figures behind the scenes, and she might even have good relationships with many people in your clan who support her. Under these circumstances…

"Unless it's something really serious, your father will definitely favor your sister unconditionally. It's a very simple reason: your sister has something to gain, while you have nothing. That's the truth."

"You don't actually believe it's just some empty, superficial feeling, do you? You don't really think your father doesn't know about your sister framing you, do you? Let me tell you, no one who can become a lord and manage so many people is a fool."

"Your father is absolutely aware of your sister's little tricks, but he chooses not to see them because it's very simple: compared to your sister, you have absolutely nothing that would make your father show favoritism."

"A small matter?" Lilith exclaimed instinctively.

"Jiang Chen, these are not trivial matters."

Jiang Chen shook his head at this.

"This matter is indeed a big deal for you, but from your father's perspective, it's really a small matter. In the end, it only affects your relationship with your sister and causes you a little injury."

"But compared to the entire race, do you think your situation is that big? I won't even mention anything else, just look at what's happening to you right now. In your succubus race, there are countless families, and countless similar incidents could happen."

"So let's look at it another way. When what happened to you happens to thousands or even tens of thousands of people in your race, do you think what happened to you is a big deal? Isn't it just a very common thing? Compared to the continuation of the race, do you think what happened to you is even a big deal?"

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Lilith instinctively felt that this shouldn't be the case, but she had no way to refute them.

Indeed, if such a thing happens to an individual, it is a big deal for that individual. But to put it bluntly, compared to race, these things are nothing. So, are the things that happened between him and his sister really just trivial matters to his father?

What's most frightening is that if you look at this issue from the father's perspective and follow the line of thought Jiang Chen just mentioned, it's really just a trivial matter.

At this moment, Vivian felt that her worldview was being reshaped.

"So Jiang Chen, you mean the reason my father is like this is because I can't bring him any benefit?"

"But what about our feelings for each other?"

Hearing that Lilith still had hope, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a headache coming on; she was utterly stupid.

Jiang Chen was also a little confused. Actually, Lilith usually seemed quite normal and not stupid, but why did she act like she didn't have a brain when it came to this matter?

"How much is affection worth? Affection has a limited value. And to put it bluntly, your father is the lord of the succubus clan. If he really wanted to find you, you wouldn't need to look for him at all. He would have found you not long after you went missing."

"Although we can't find you right away, as long as he's willing to use his own resources a little, believe me, it won't be more than a year before he finds you. By then, you'll probably still be breastfeeding."

"But why didn't he go look for you? Guess what? In the end, to him, you are far less important than what he has to do."

"Maybe he was busy with something at the time. At that moment, he was probably more concerned about his own business than you. Only after he finished and had nothing else to do would he have time to find you. I guess that's why he found you so late."

"Your biggest problem is why he'd support your sister. Have you even thought about that? If your sister couldn't bring him any benefit, he wouldn't even be with you. Guess why he'd support your sister?"

"So this is the biggest reality."

"Don't use the excuse of being switched at birth. That excuse is too easy to see through. After all, there's magic here. It's possible to use magic to identify bloodlines and such. For him, it's just a matter of magic to find out the truth. Do you really think he doesn't know?"

"I suspect there were other things that forced him to do this, which led to what happened later. But none of that matters anymore, Lilith. After all I've said, you should understand now. Your so-called feelings are worthless in the face of power."

"And if you want to become a lord on your own, I can tell you clearly that it is absolutely impossible. So you can forget about making your father regret it. If you really want your father to regret it, or your so-called sister to regret it, then you have no choice but to cooperate with us and let me get what I want. Once our strength has increased, we will help you take back everything."

Jiang Chen ultimately succumbed to reality and did not reveal his truest thoughts.

Given Lilith's situation, Jiang Chen worried that she wouldn't cooperate with him after he revealed what he wanted to do.

So going along with things for now is best. Whether or not to listen after things are settled is up to you, especially since the two parties haven't signed a contract yet. Even if they had, Jiang Chen has ways to breach the contract.

When the time comes, he'll be in charge of everything he says and does, so who will care about Lilith? Besides, given Lilith's situation, what if he's reluctant to take action? Wouldn't that be ridiculous? If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze.

"With your mindset, you truly deserve it."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but complain to himself.

Lilith was driven to such a terrible state by her adopted sister, and even almost lost her life.

Her stepsister was responsible for 30% of this, while Lilith herself was responsible for at least 70%.

After all, having such a thought is problematic in itself.

This is a battle for the position of a racial leader; it's not child's play.

This thing involves bloodshed, and one wrong move could lead to utter ruin. What is Lilith thinking about something so serious? Jiang Chen couldn't help but admire her.
