After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS

Whether Luo’s words were straightforward or held some deeper meaning, Su Mo had no way to discern.

As previously mentioned, she was a kind yet extremely cruel person, devoid of any personal sentiments, uninterested in the gains and losses of individuals.

You think that by acting brave, righteous, and aligning with her inner values, she’d surely treat you well?

Wrong.

How she treats you purely depends on the position she leaves you on the chessboard.

To achieve her goals, she can consort with the dregs of society, exalting those wicked people high.

She can also ruthlessly eliminate righteous individuals to maintain the situation she needs.

Of course, the reverse is possible, solely depending on how she wishes to play this game.

Such a person’s thoughts are hard to fathom; before the result is revealed, it’s difficult to guess what she truly intends to do.

Su Mo faced a similar situation; he didn’t know what Luo was planning.

Maybe capturing those people hid some deeper agenda.

Or perhaps she prepared to further solidify her position in the court, pushing deeper into the heart of power, needing to add great achievements, and truly using these justice-minded people as sacrificial offerings.

No matter what the opponent’s intention was, Su Mo didn’t sit idly; he planned to test the waters first: "Miss Luo, we merely did what we thought was right, neither illegal nor unethical. Isn’t this extermination a bit excessive?"

Luo picked up her teacup and took a sip, calmly saying: "That’s how the world is; aligning with the powerful ensures smooth sailing, while going against the tide comes with a price, something someone like you who climbed up from the bottom must especially understand."

"If you knew the price was unbearable, why did you do it in the first place?"

Su Mo: "It’s not about knowing it’s unbearable yet still doing it but about believing that even in the darkest places, there will be light."

"If no one dared stand up against mere beasts, even standing up only to face retribution later, how could anyone be expected to stand up against greater enemies in the future?"

Since the Dawn Year 153 years have passed, the truth of that apocalyptic war has long been obscured, and few people know of the existence of the species "Construct."

As for beasts, they may pose some threat, but if humanity truly decided to eliminate them at any cost, these savage animals would have been extinct long ago.

Arguably, when looking across the world, humans are the apex predators in the food chain, without natural enemies.

Then what does that phrase "greater enemy" refer to? It’s quite a pondering question.

Luo rarely fell silent; her golden eyes were deep and bottomless as she quietly stared into Su Mo’s eyes.

Neither spoke, confronting each other in a deathly silence like two highly skilled swordsmen, each trying to find the weakness in the other’s posture to see through the other’s heart.

Time passed unknown, and Luo finally broke the oppressive silence. She finished her tea, leaned back in her chair and sighed lightly, with a hint of fatigue showing in her expression.

"Director Su, after these two weeks of scheming with so many people, I’m a bit tired. How about having some sympathy for me?"

Su Mo asked puzzled: "How to sympathize?"

Luo shrugged: "Mo Xue can make the documentation clean and tidy; I think Edge would only do it more beautifully. Spending time on procedures is just a waste."

"So, why don’t you surrender? I’ve prepared a lot of charges for you; pick whichever you like and admit to it. It will save me a lot of time and energy, and I will thank you for it."

The topic returned here, and Su Mo said helplessly, "Don’t even think about it. Why should I confess to those unfounded charges?"

Luo’s expression turned unexpectedly childlike and plaintive, with a hint of coquettish pleading: "Director Su, just one person is missing in the cell. Do me a favor?"

Su Mo was amused: "I’ve heard of doing someone a favor by having a meal, yet not by going to prison. No way."

Luo fell silent for a moment, her eyes showing an appreciative look. Her slender hands clapped together as her tone turned light-hearted: "Very well, congratulations on being the first to withstand the test."

"What test?" Su Mo didn’t understand what was being acted out now.

Luo smiled warmly, beckoning him to come closer: "I’ll tell you about the test later; first, let me give you the prepared gift."

"Gift..." Su Mo couldn’t help but mutter.

According to the original plot of "Dawn," Luo, this court officer, holds many good things, and she even has access to the "Fifth Great Passage Artifact" under World Government control.

Su Mo didn’t expect Luo to hand over the passage artifact, as the two had only met for less than an hour; it wasn’t realistic.

But among the good things in Luo’s possession, any random piece was very useful. Su Mo was very curious about what she was going to give him as a gift.

When Su Mo came before Luo, she tilted her head towards the door, as if listening for outside movements.

Ensuring no eavesdroppers were present, she lowered her voice mysteriously, saying, "Put your hand on my waist."

Su Mo: "Why?"

Luo: "So I can give you the gift."

Su Mo: "Can’t you just give it to me directly?"

Luo: "This gift is special, and it requires us to make contact to activate it. Come, put your hand on my waist."

Su Mo was immediately puzzled: "What’s so mysterious about this thing..."

Luo glanced at her watch and urged, "Quick, there’s no time, I have a meeting later. Let me give you the gift quickly, I must leave."

Su Mo, half-trusting, placed his hand on the sides of Luo’s slender waist.
