Bab 1804: A Martial Gamble

"It is disgraceful that a superior Martial Senior like yourself is so unwilling to take your rightful place as leaders of human civilization."

A man sitting opposite Rui in his office remarked with an ugly expression.

"I am willing to ascend leader of the Kandrian Empire," Rui lied. "Why else would I bid for the throne?"

"You're doing it as a member of the royal family! Not as a Martial Artist!" The man barked. "In all of human history, nay, in all species in the world. The strongest rule. It is the natural order. Anything else strains human civilization as we move away from a natural power hierarchy!"

He glared at Rui, uncaring for his royal status. "You care about harmony? The best way to reach harmony is to put people where they naturally belong. The strong at the top and the weak at the bottom. Because human civilization naturally tends to a natural hierarchy of power, this is the most stable and harmonious form of civilization!"
