章 1788: Lu Zhongqi's Prophecy

Lu Zhongqi's voice sounded gentle and calm from start to finish. 

However, as his gentle and calm voice bounced off the black rock walls, it gradually grew stronger and turned into bloody crimson waves.

"As the saying goes, 'The lord of the state is the lord of the country; to suffer the bad luck of a nation is to be the king of the world.' The saying means that if a nation, a country, or even a civilization wants to survive and develop, its leader has no choice but to do dirty, dark, cruel, and despicable things on the people's behalf."

Lu Zhongqi continued, "People are both short-sighted and greedy. When order collapses and the world is in turmoil, they yearn for a savior. However, when a savior really saves them from the abyss of suffering, they often despise their savior's methods. They say he's too fierce, too cruel, and too dirty.
