Fang Che spoke with difficulty because he was considering his wording: "In the future, even if we need to kill, it should be handled internally within the Guardian ranks, and never again serve as a warning to the world like this. Because... although it’s satisfying, if we kill too much, it will lead the world to lose confidence in the Guardians."

"They would think: Damn, you Guardians don’t have many good apples inside either."

"That would be bad, you understand?"

Dongyun Yu and the other two suddenly understood.

This is indeed a problem.

And it’s a huge problem of people’s minds and human nature.

The three of them all felt a sense of ’No wonder Boss Fang can be the boss’.

Fang Che said: "There’s also one more thing... how should I put it, I’m not quite sure how to word it."

Feng Xiangdong mused: "Boss Fang also feels the punishment is too heavy, right?"

Fang Che said: "If we’re looking at this incident alone, it’s not too heavy. Because this is the territory of the Heihu Gang, the Wei Wo Zheng Sect; they knew so many girls had disappeared for no reason and still went in, pretending nothing was wrong. They knew about the Good Family Girls... that’s absolutely unforgivable. For these twenty-two people today, the death penalty isn’t too heavy, they deserve to die!"

"I’m talking about how we handle lighter issues when Guardians encounter them in the future."

"Boss, tell us more."

"Well... let me put it this way, I mentioned today too, once a person starts indulging and degenerating, they can’t turn back. This is human nature, it’s also reality."

Fang Che pondered deeply: "But we must also consider one thing... can it be that Guardians, Protectors, can’t enjoy any at all? Not even a bit? Can we just keep fighting life and death battles, always risking our lives like this? That can’t be right either?"

The three fell into contemplation.

"Just like they say: One generation after another, our entire lives are spent on the battlefield, guarding the Continent. We’ve shed the blood of countless generations, so what’s wrong with enjoying a little in normal life?"

Fang Che said: "Can’t say that’s without reason, can you?"

"But enjoyment... what ordinary people consider enjoyment won’t satisfy these people. And enjoyment beyond the norms often means breaking rules."

"In this regard, it requires... flexible handling or internal handling in the future."

Fang Che smiled bitterly: "Though I don’t like it, even from a civilian’s point of view, there’s differentiated treatment even for chickens. Those who lay more eggs get fed well and are treated well, while those who don’t lay eggs are slaughtered for meat. Some hens that can lay eggs even outlast several batches of other chickens."

"You can’t just kill a chicken that lays a lot of eggs just because it’s eating well, can you?"

The three couldn’t help but smile.

Though the analogy is quite down-to-earth, it indeed makes sense.

Dongyun Yu chuckled: "But the chicken that lays eggs will eventually grow old and stop laying. Then, it can’t escape ending up in the pot after one cut."

Fang Che suddenly felt a wave of anger rising.

I’m discussing logic here, and you’re already jumping to conclusions with ’when the birds are gone, the bow hidden, when the rabbit dies, the dogs are cooked.’

"You! Shut up!"

Fang Che said fiercely.

Feng Xiangdong and Qiu Yunshang laughed so hard they rolled on the ground.

They all felt this Dongyun Yu was indeed a delightful character.

"Can people and chickens be the same?" Fang Che glared.

"Weren’t you the one who said it?" Dongyun Yu defied.

"Say it again."

Fang Che pressed his hand against his sword hilt, his eyes fierce.

Dongyun Yu shrank his neck, no longer speaking.

"But in the future... we, this small group, will likely be isolated."

Fang Che sighed, saying: "Don’t be fooled by the masses’ praise, but internally within the Guardians... we’ve already been labeled as unwelcome."

Dongyun Yu said: "That can’t be. When we left, everyone was quite polite."

"Hehe... the more polite they are, the more unwelcome you are."

Fang Che sneered: "After all, nobody wants an impartial judge around them; even Saints don’t."

"Believe it or not, from now on, wherever we go will be full of praise, but aside from praise, there’ll be nothing else... even if there’s nothing shady going on, people will still keep a respectful distance from us."

Fang Che laughed.

Feng Xiangdong chuckled: "That doesn’t matter. We didn’t become Guardians to make friends."

Dongyun Yu said: "Friends are always good to have; otherwise, there’s not going to be any fun fights."

Fang Che, Qiu Yunshang, and Feng Xiangdong twisted their faces as they looked at Dongyun Yu, finally standing up together and silently walking away.

Really didn’t want to deal with this jerk.

Just as they walked out the door, Dongyun Yu caught up like the wind: "Where are you going to ditch me and have fun?"

"Have fun, my foot!"

Fang Che said angrily: "We’re going to watch the interrogations!"

"I’m going too! I can even personally handle the interrogations!"

Dongyun Yu became very enthusiastic.

The three felt a chill and quickened their pace.

Thinking about Dongyun Yu’s bizarre move of leading a bunch of poisonous snakes to drill holes the other day was simply unbearable to look at.

But it must be said that his tactics were quite effective; none were unruly after dealing with him.

When they arrived at the interrogation room, it was just as Fang Che said, the effect was already evident.

All the Guardians who saw the four had smiles on their faces, acting very politely.

As if they were hosting a plague god.

The four didn’t mind and immediately started working. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Then they began sentencing each completed interrogation to death, to be executed publically tomorrow.

"How many can be executed tomorrow?" Fang Che asked.

"Captain Fang, at this pace, tomorrow we should be able to complete over a thousand interrogations, and there’s basically nothing more to extract."

"Taking them all out won’t be a problem?"

"Captain Fang’s request is certainly no problem; the act of eliminating harm for the people is still very satisfying."
