I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod.
Chapter 77: Let's call it the Ideal State
After the cleanup was completed, the matter was settled. Although the outcome was not satisfactory, it made everyone understand that Sukuna was invincible.
Sukuna did not break his promise to his followers and continued to lead them as agreed.
However, after Sukuna became the strongest in this era, some villains naturally jumped out and joined Sukuna's team. In just two days, the number of Sukuna's team members more than doubled.
They joined forces with Su Nuo not for the bright future he spoke of, but simply because Su Nuo was very strong and they could use him as a powerful backer to bully others.
These people are often parasites within a team, indulging in pleasure, abusing privileges, and sowing discord. The disillusionment within the team often begins with the appearance of these individuals.
Sukuna, however, failed to realize this, naively believing that his ideas were being recognized by more and more people, and exclaimed, "There are more and more like-minded companions, and one day, my ideals will become a reality..."
One day, Teppei approached Su Nuo, looking preoccupied, as if he had something to say but didn't know whether he should say it.
Upon seeing Tieping, Su Nuo was about to greet him, but seeing Tieping's expression, he sensed something was amiss:
"Teppei, what happened?"
Tieping nodded, staring at Su Nuo with worry in his eyes:
"Lord Su Nuo, do you still remember the group of people who came to your aid a while ago? I've investigated them. Before they came to your aid, they were just bandits and outlaws, not exactly good people."
After they pledged allegiance to you, they only kept quiet for a few days before using your name to forcibly abduct women and commit all sorts of evil deeds…”
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Su Nuo frowned, as if he had been greatly offended. He suppressed his anger and asked:
"Where are these people? Where are they?"
In response, Tie Ping remained silent for a few seconds, then calmly replied:
"I led my men to capture them and kill them to deter others with ill intentions. I apologize, Lord Sukuna, but I did this without your permission."
Upon learning how the matter was handled, Su Nuo was stunned. He stared at Tie Ping in astonishment, feeling as if his longest-time companion had become a completely different person. He asked:
"Teppei, tell me honestly, have you been possessed by some kind of monster? This isn't like you."
"That's not true."
Tieping shook his head slightly. As a fallen samurai, he was well aware of the corruption of the nobility and the inherent flaws of human nature. He understood that once an organization's bottom line was repeatedly tested without any cost, then only demise awaited that organization.
Teppei looked directly into Su Nu's eyes. Although Su Nu was far more powerful than him, his eyes seemed to see into the distant future. He said:
"The bottom line cannot be crossed. Those who use your name to bully men and women must be dealt with strictly to prevent such situations from happening again in the future."
The reason I handled this privately without telling you is because I know you too well. As long as they cry and beg for forgiveness, and their words involve their family and children, you will soften your heart and give them one last chance because they are first-time offenders.
But this means that the bottom line has changed from being absolutely inviolable to being occasionally allowed to be broken. Gradually, the standards of the bottom line will be lowered or even disappear. This kind of thing must never happen.
I know I shouldn't have kept it from you, but I did it anyway, please punish me.
With that, Tieping closed his eyes and quietly awaited Su Nuo's punishment.
However, instead of the punishment, he heard a hearty laugh, followed by a hard slap on his back. The force of the slap made him open his eyes in pain.
"What are you thinking? Why would I punish you? You did nothing wrong. If it were me, I might really let them go... You're right, the bottom line cannot be crossed, and we must fundamentally eliminate this kind of behavior that crosses the bottom line."
Tieping wondered:
Do you really think so?
Su Nuo laughed twice:
"Of course, why would I lie to you?"
That's wonderful.
Teppei smiled knowingly at Sukuna's understanding, and was about to say something more when he accidentally strained his back muscles. Sukuna hadn't held back, making Teppei wince in pain.
"It hurts!"
Seeing Tieping like this, Su Nuo laughed even louder:
"Although you did not control your strength just now, your body is too weak. You really should train."
"Lord Sukuna, this really hurts."
Tieping couldn't help but retort, and amidst Su Nuo's laughter, he punched Su Nuo.
Of course, given Sukuna's physical condition, he didn't feel anything; only he clutched his fist and cried out, "It hurts!"
In the days that followed, in order to manage the growing number of followers, Su Nuo, Teppei, and a few other scholars in the team worked together to compile a rough set of rules.
In this set of rules, bullying men and women is strictly prohibited. Isolation, cliques and division are not allowed within the team. Everyone is equal and must help each other at all times.
The establishment of these rules immediately brought order to the loose team. To make it easier to refer to these guys, Sukuna personally named the organization "Utopia".
Of course, this ideal country is not the same as that ideal country. The reason it is called this name is because Su Nuo felt that everyone was working hard for the same ideal, so it was the most appropriate name to call it the ideal country.
Initially, none of the major families cared about this organization called the Ideal Kingdom, believing that its only threat was its leader, Su Nuo.
However, with the emergence of slogans such as "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?", the major families realized that this was not a simple organization, but a revolutionary organization with a high degree of order and cohesion. The object of their revolution was the entire era.
Panic ensued among the various clans, and one clan, Ishikawa, chose to join the Republic in order to protect itself.
Sukuna's attitude towards this unexpected "ally" is:
"Distribute all your money and land to your servants before you talk about joining the Republic."
These conditions put the Ishikawa family in an awkward situation. They chose to join the Utopia to protect themselves, but after squandering their wealth, what difference was there between the Ishikawa family and destruction?
So the Ishikawa family chose to refuse, preferring to enjoy the benefits for a while before disappearing rather than squander their fortune.
This angered Sukuna, who led his men to confiscate the Ishikawa family's property and distributed all the wealth to the servants and commoners who had been oppressed by the Ishikawa family.
His reasoning was:
"I was initially going to accept you because you were sensible, but after you rejected the terms, you chose to go back to oppressing the people. Is there such a good thing in the world?"
And so, no family considered joining the ideal state anymore. They wanted to form an alliance, but found that everyone in the family was insecure...
