"Look at those workers, they've lived like this for hundreds of years, docile like sheep, and it's their fate to suffer. This resistance is just a minor episode."

"You can't change anything, better to go with the flow... Anyway, most Apprentice Death Gods are like this, ready to use sheep for their own benefit."

"There's no right or wrong here, it's just the clash between useless compassion and pragmatism."

"..."

"No."

Suddenly, Yun You opened his eyes and spoke slowly, interrupting the King's words.

"Right is right, wrong is wrong."

"I know there are things in this world that are both black and white, but some matters are about principle... Principle!"

"But everyone is doing this!" the King reprimanded without hesitation: "Do you think you're special, and can keep being independent? You have to blend into this world, not fight against it!"

Boom——!

Heavy thunder, mixed with torrential rain, fell together.

The crackling rain blended with the King's voice, making people's faces sting.

But Yun You never lowered his head.

"If I do that..."

After a long pause, Yun You continued.

"Then what's the difference between me and those bastards?"

The King was stunned.

She knew exactly who Yun You meant by bastards, naturally they were the Apprentice Death Gods who treated lives with indifference, the beasts who could go on a killing spree for a small matter.

To deal with enemies, Yun You was willing to use any low methods, because in the little girl's understanding, this was called "like vengeance," reasonable and correct.

But when it involves others, especially innocent civilians like her parents, the "sheep" as the King called them, Yun You couldn't bring herself to exploit them, she couldn't cross that mental barrier, nor could she use rhetoric to deceive herself.

Right is right, wrong is wrong, if even her own heart could shift, then what right did she have to speak of so-called "just revenge"?

What she detested most in life were the Apprentice Death Gods who saw people as straw, and now the King wanted her to become such a person, how could Yun You agree?

"Uphold justice and righteousness, ensure that the poor civilians can eat well, wear clothes, have warm houses to shelter from the wind and rain."

Yun You lifted her head, looking at the night sky pouring with rain, murmuring softly: "That is Jack's wish."

With that, the young girl took out the electronic bank card from her pocket, took a deep breath, and then tossed it heavily into the sky.

"Swoosh——!"

The black card exploded sharply, transforming into countless light points, falling like meteors in every direction.

The miners' families were drawn by the loud noise, instinctively looked up, and were all stunned.

Even Aurora was dumbfounded.

What were those points in the sky? They were electronic coins hiding cash!

This was a feature of large electronic bank cards, it could be split into small cash coins at any time, highly versatile.

But generally, people would only split a small amount of pocket change, creating only a few "meteors."

Yet Yun You this time divided all fifty million Silver Cannons, creating a beautiful meteor shower.

"Money... It's all money!"

A shout broke the peace.

The miners looking at the sky full of money were first stunned, then showed joyful expressions, couldn't help but want to scramble for it.

But fortunately, someone with reason timely spoke, restraining people's greedy impulses.

"Don't fight! No one fight!"

"This must be the 'compensation' from the masked girl for us, everyone line up to receive it, don't cause trouble..."

"Oh, oh... Okay!"

...

The miners gradually calmed down, no scramble occurred, they quietly collected the part they deserved, and then showed smiles not seen for a long time.

Even that pitiful mother and daughter finally smiled, hope appeared in their eyes.

Seeing the multitude of life in front of her, Yun You grinned.

"King, do you think I'm foolish?"

The young girl put on the black cloak again, tiptoed, changed to a comfortable posture.

"Not only did I not adopt your 'good plan,' but also distributed all the money on hand, leaving none for myself."

"You surely want to scold me, right? It's okay, scold as you please, anyway, I'm in a good mood now. It's been a long time since I've been this happy."

Hearing this, the King was silent for a rare moment.

"Ha..."

"Hahaha, you..."

After a long time, the King suddenly laughed, but not a relieved bitter laugh, rather a laugh of acknowledgment.

"What?"

Yun You raised an eyebrow, casually asked: "Lost your mind?"

"No."

The King shook her head, happily gazing at Yun You, laughed: "I just think you're incredible!"

"The prior suggestion truly was from my heart, and it was your best choice. But if you easily agreed, I would look down on you."

"Because in such a situation, your principles and persistence would look like a joke."

"When interests and others' words can easily sway your heart, when you don't even want to believe in yourself, that's when you're truly beyond hope."

"A King can be wise, or tyrannical, losing the support and hearts of all beings, can be disliked or denied by anyone, but never deny herself."

"A King is selfish and arrogant, a King can never be wrong, even if everyone on earth doesn't trust you, doesn't support you, you cannot doubt your own heart."

"This is the path you need to walk, the future you chose for yourself."

"Now, you're even able to deny my words... despite being extremely poor, you can abandon the vast fortune right before you; despite running away and shifting blame being the best way, you choose to bear it instead..."

"As for you, I'm very satisfied. You have a true King's heart, which is far more important than talent."

"Let's not mention the past, at least this time, I acknowledge you!"

Finishing her sentence, she opened her arms, which didn't truly exist, quietly hugged Yun You.

The young girl grinned, didn't answer, just enjoyed the peace of this moment.

"So what's your plan next?"

The King withdrew her smile, calmly asked: "If you leave now, probably none of the miners here will survive."

"So are you planning to stay? To face the impending trial? To face completely unknown outcomes?"

"Hmm."

Yun You gently nodded, looked towards the sky.

The rain had stopped, and in the little girl's heart, there was no more confusion.

"After all, this all started because of me, I won't let any innocent get involved, nor create a second 'Yun You'."

"Let me end this affair."
