Chapter 47: Desire for the greater good is evil, not good! [Follow-up reading]

The pearl of Magic City.

At this time, Chen Cheng had already returned to the apartment. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ai Tutu rushing towards him.

The latter looked indifferent, and with a thought, Ai Tutu's figure instantly flew to the sofa.

"What are you doing? I just want to give you a surprise."

Chen Cheng was unmoved by this.

Mu Nujiao walked out of the kitchen slowly, wearing an apron. The way she tied the apron was very casual, but it just showed off her slender waist.

Her steps were light, as if the busy work in the kitchen did not make her tired at all.

There was a hint of joy in her eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she asked softly, "Are you back?" There was a hint of expectation in her voice.

The fragrance in the kitchen also wafted out with her appearance, it was an indescribable feeling.

Very warm and happy.
Mu Nujiao did not ask where Chen Cheng had been during this time. She was very intelligent and sensible.

"Yeah," Chen Cheng replied indifferently.

"Has she gone back?"

"Hmm" Mu Nujiao's heart tightened when she heard that, and then the expectation in her eyes gradually turned into a hint of disappointment.

"Are you disappointed?" Chen Cheng noticed the disappointment in Mu Nujiao's eyes.

"How could that be? There's nothing wrong with me, her, or you." Mu Nujiao's tone became a little hurried when she heard Chen Cheng's words. She was very nervous, but she couldn't suppress the impulse in her heart.

"Oops, there's a fire in the kitchen"

Suddenly, Ai Tutu shouted.

The shout interrupted Mu Nujiao's thoughts. She quickly came to her senses and ran to the kitchen.

The room suddenly became a mess, but Chen Cheng didn't care. He just looked at the surroundings quietly, as peaceful as water.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Chen Cheng waved his hand lightly and the door opened.

A middle-aged man in military uniform stood upright at the door, his posture tall and straight, like an unshakable mountain.

His eyes were sharp and firm, revealing a calmness and perseverance that came from having experienced many ups and downs.

The purple and gold badge on his shoulder sparkled brightly in the sun, as if announcing his lofty status and outstanding achievements to others.

His face was marked with the traces of time, with clear lines and distinct contours, which made his appearance even more majestic.

"Who is coming?" Chen Cheng could feel that the man in front of him had reached the level of forbidden spells, and his identity was definitely not simple.

The middle-aged man spoke in a deep and powerful voice, "My name is Hua Zhanhong, I came to Mr. Chen to discuss something."

Chen Cheng smiled in his heart, he knew that this person held a very important position in the military, and his coming this time must not be as simple as it seemed.

The fact that a forbidden spell wizard could be alarmed must mean something extraordinary is going on.

On the other side, Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu had put out the fire, but they still did not come out. Instead, they were busy in the kitchen, which gave the two people outside the house time to talk.

"I'm just an ordinary person. What do you want from me?" Chen Cheng said without even looking at him.

"Ordinary person? Haha, if you are an ordinary person, then I hope there are more ordinary people with such strength." Hua Zhanhong looked at Chen Cheng, took a deep breath and said.

"I have been asked by the Speaker to invite Mr. Chen to join the military." Hua Zhanhong stated his purpose.

"Not interested." Chen Cheng turned around and walked to the sofa and sat down. "Mr. Chen, you should think about it. This is an opportunity that many people would love to have." Hua Zhanhong followed and stood opposite Chen Cheng.

"I told you, I'm not interested." Chen Cheng waved his hand impatiently, "I don't want to get involved in your military affairs."

"Mr. Chen, the current situation is turbulent and we need strong people like you..."

"I told you, I'm not a strong man." Chen Cheng interrupted Hua Zhanhong, "If there's nothing else, you can leave."

Chen Cheng did not give the military leader any face at all, even when the other party offered him the position of Speaker.

Speaker? Military chief? Ridiculous.
Chen Cheng believed that the other party must have known about the deputy chief judge whom he had killed not long ago. The reason why they did not issue a wanted notice immediately was simply because they were afraid of his own strength.

If the other party is sure, even if you are a forbidden spell wizard, you will still be included in the trial list.

State-owned state laws, family rules.

I believe they will not break the law for a so-called forbidden spell wizard.

The same goes for Chen Cheng. Once the other party figures out his true strength, he will also be judged if he is sure of it.

Unfortunately, let alone Hua Zhanhong, even if the seven archangels and all the forbidden spell wizards in the world joined forces, they would not be a match for him.

As powerful as an emperor, as terrifying as the roof of the world, he is still like a baby in front of him.

"Mr. Chen, I know you are very strong." Hua Zhanhong sighed, "But the war situation is urgent now. The situation in the west and along the coast is not very optimistic. I need a strong man who is strong enough to suppress the sea monster."

Chen Cheng was silent for a moment. He knew that humans were being held captive by demons and the gap in strength was too huge.

"I am used to a free life and don't like being restricted." Chen Cheng said lightly.

Hua Zhanhong frowned slightly. He didn't expect Chen Cheng to refuse like this, but he didn't give up.

"As long as Mr. Chen is willing to join, you can propose any conditions you want." Hua Zhanhong said sincerely.

"As for the condition, how about your life?" Chen Cheng stared at Hua Zhanhong, as if he wanted to see a hint of fear in his eyes.

Unfortunately, the man's determined eyes told him that he was not afraid of death.

"Throughout the history, I have seen so many talented people who are ready to die, but I don't think they are great. On the contrary, I think they are selfish."

Hua Zhanhong did not refute Chen Cheng's words, but continued to listen.

"The strong prey on the weak. This is the law of nature. No one can change it. Being loyal to others is betrayal to yourself. Only those who betray others are loyal to themselves."

It is difficult to distinguish between personal desires and greater good. If you use your life to fulfill others, isn't that being unfaithful to yourself?
But on the contrary, giving up others for your own sake is being loyal to yourself.

Although from a moral perspective, there are some so-called saintly duties, this is indeed an indisputable fact.

Everyone should be selfish, because from the moment you are born, you live for yourself.

You don't owe anyone anything, so why would you go against your own conscience for the sake of a so-called clean reputation?
Are the Zhou rituals binding people?

No, what blocks the essence of human heart is never thoughts, but the fear of facing the inner self.

"You are not afraid of death. This may seem great to others, but in my eyes, you are a selfish person."

"Isn't it good to live for yourself? Why should we protect those humble humans like ants?"

Chen Cheng looked deep in his eyes. This question was asked to him by a gentleman two thousand years ago.

Now, he threw this question back to Hua Zhanhong without any change.
