"Not enough," Bailuo said, "If this knife were just a bit longer, I'd really want to chop you down."

Bailuo looked down upon Old Luwei, who knelt on the beach, "What do you consider your children to be? Tools? Or weapons?"
"You say they bring shame upon you."
"But what just happened," Bailuo asked, "who brought shame upon whom?"
"You call me a king; have you ever been a king?"
Bailuo raised his head. The clouds in the sky dispersed under his gaze, and streaks of light descended from the horizon, "I am the King. My words, and the actions I take, are those of a King!"
The Black Leather Book tasked Bailuo with killing Old Luwei.
Because only with Old Luwei's death, could The Lu Wei Family genuinely cut off all affection and loyalty, then like cold, emotionless robots, execute Bailuo's missions and commands perfectly.
Even if it meant killing defenseless women and children, they would not frown or doubt.
