Chapter 6 [Abnormal Capitalists V](2/2)
Even among angels in heaven, such topics are taboo.
However, Alex seemed to have no scruples at all, and threw out these bold words, as if she was repeatedly jumping on a dangerous red line.
——She is not dancing on the edge of the flame, but spinning in the flame.
Although everyone knows that Hugh Abraham is regarded as a "careerist" within the Kingdom of Heaven, mentioning this in person is tantamount to peeling off a thin layer of illusion and getting to the core.
This kind of straightforward provocation seems particularly dangerous even in the eyes of the representatives of Abnormal Capital present here.
However, what is surprising is that the blond young man did not show any anger or anxiety.
His face remained calm, and the light in his golden eyes was cold and deep, as if he was not touched by the profound meaning of Alex's last words.
However, the next words of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven already expressed his meaning.
"Tell me," Xia Xiu's voice was low and calm, "What does Valraven want from the Kingdom of Heaven, and what do they want to get from me."
There are two subjects here, one is the kingdom of heaven, and the other is the fourth sword holder of the kingdom of heaven himself.
Alex showed a faint smile, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
She knew that the judgment of the board of directors was correct and that she had bet on the ambition and insight of the fourth sword holder in heaven.
So, she answered without hesitation, with a tone of confidence that was hard to ignore:
"We hope that Heaven will allow us to legally conduct commerce under the Veil, provided we respect the Veil and only deploy our anomalous assets against anomalous targets."
Alex's gaze lightly swept over Xia Xiu's face, and her tone paused slightly, as if she was deliberately leaving a brief moment of suspense.
Then, her voice became low but full of power, and she stated the last condition straightforwardly:
"As for you, we want you to... sell war."
The silence in the air was like an invisible rope, wrapping around everyone's throat. All eyes were focused on Xia Xiu, waiting for the response from the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Xia Xiu was not in a hurry to speak.
His golden pupils narrowed slightly, and a deep light flashed in his eyes.
Soon, he smiled, and the corners of his lips slowly raised, revealing a meaningful smile. The smile was both mocking and deep thinking.
After a while, he finally spoke, his voice was steady, and his tone was as calm and insightful as an angel:
"Very well, ma'am, you made a good point.
But I want you to pay attention to your grooming, ma'am.
I—and the Kingdom of Heaven—never sell war.”
This sentence was devoid of any emotional fluctuations. It was as calm as cooling steel, but as sharp as a blade, cutting through the carefully laid network in Alex's language.
He raised his head slightly, looked away from Alex, and turned slightly to the center of the conference table, as if making a statement to everyone present.
"Just like your company -" Xia Xiu continued, with an unmistakable coldness in his tone.
“War does not occur only when weapons are available, but when the conditions for war arise.
Even if there are no stones, people will box with both hands.
War has nothing to do with weapons.
Weapons have only changed the form of war."
He paused for a moment, his eyes fell back on Alex, his voice was deeper, but with some irresistible power:
"From the past to the present, the wars created by humans have become larger and larger in scale, with more and more casualties.
Every war will sow the seeds of hatred and entanglements of interests.
Race, ideology, resources, land—human beings have countless reasons to wage war.
Blood debts are constantly paid with blood, and blood debts are owed new blood debts.
All this is like an endless cycle."
Xia Xiu's tone gradually became heavier, as if he was facing the essence of war:
"Lions hunt just for survival, and the food chain is closely linked. But what about war?
War seems to be the lubricant of human society, lubricating the meaning of order in a dirty way."
He paused again, looked at Alex more sharply, and his tone was calm but full of intimidation:
"But the existence of the kingdom of heaven goes beyond war - we are not selling war, we are just exercising our power."
Xia Xiu, the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven, swept his eyes across the faces of every participant present. His golden eyes were like burning flames, cold but unfathomable.
He stood upright, lightly tapping his silver cane in his hand, and his voice was as deep and powerful as a bell, echoing in the conference room.
"——Whoever has the power to change the status quo is responsible for the status quo."
His voice was clear and calm, with a kind of natural majesty.
"-If you don't know who has the power, then exercise their power and they will come to you."
This sentence seemed to hit everyone's nerves, making the pressure in the air suddenly increase.
The abnormal capital representatives present had different expressions, some frowned, some bowed their heads, while the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven continued:
"Everyone, this is the Kingdom of Heaven - and why I have no reason to sell war."
He paused briefly, as if to give these words enough time to penetrate into everyone's thinking.
Then, he spoke again, with a hint of cold determination in his tone:
"We are just exercising our rights.
I, and even Heaven - are responsible for the current situation!
This responsibility is not to maintain the status quo, but to change it.
The power in our hands has been used to eliminate war - war does not last forever, war will be eliminated."
His voice suddenly became heavier, and a cold light flashed in his golden eyes, as if he was looking through the crowd into a more distant future.
He straightened up, his tone was low but firm, with an unshakable belief:
"As for when will war be eliminated?"
The fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven paused for a moment, and then the corner of his mouth raised a smile that seemed to have a profound meaning.
"My answer is naturally:
