The laws of a country were designed to benefit the common people. But those who decided the laws had countless ways to escape punishment even when they were the ones breaking the laws.
"Lu Kun!" Mo Fan stared at the red figure.
Lu Kun had finally shown himself, and seemed completely fearless. He was not worried even though his identity was exposed in a human town. He was acting like the place had always been his kingdom. He had only come to punish the people who had disobeyed his rules!
"It looks like we have found our thief," Lu Kun went closer and stared at Mo Fan. "Things are simple since you already knew the secret of the evil orb. I'll treat the half-matured evil orb as a gift to you."
"What do you mean?" Mo Fan was confused.
"Don't you desire power? I can give you everything you want. The Magic City is so big. It's an endless supply of energy. Why would I be fussed over a little Prison Mountain? I can give it to you if you like it," Lu Kun said generously.
"I bet there are conditions, too," Mo Fan harrumphed.
"Of course, you can become a person who decides the rules too!" Lu Kun said.
"Are you inviting me to join you?" Mo Fan was surprised.
"Either way, you are one of us too, am I right?" Lu Kun stared at the Essence Orb on Mo Fan's waist with a smile.
"Unfortunately, we are different by nature. Besides, I'm a Hunter, and you are a demon," Mo Fan shook his head, decisively rejecting Lu Kun's offer.
Was Lu Kun trying to bribe him? Who did he even think he was?
"I don't think we are that different."
"You are just an evil existence that escaped East Guardian Tower by taking over a human's body. Do you really think of yourself as a human, making rules as you please?" Mo Fan half-laughed.
"Oh, so you know who I am? First, my name is Kazuaki, I escaped to China after my friend set me up. I changed my name and started a new life again after driving the demon in me away. Is there any problem with that?" Lu Kun demurred.
"What about Prison Mountain? Those prisoners are behaving like puppets..." Mo Fan pointed out.
"Have you counted how many people I've taken in after they lost their homes because of the headquarters cities?" Lu Kun asked in return. "I've also given criminals a new purpose for their lives. I've contributed greatly to society. The Prison Mountain you went to has helped build thousands of kilometers worth of dams to prevent people from becoming food to the sea monsters.
"I've never hurt them, nor have I taken a single life. They work for me, and in return, I provide them with food and shelter. Even the government has given me an award in recognition of my service. Most importantly, I'm only taking away their negative emotions. Anger, laziness, gambling obsessions...
"If this place is my little kingdom, I bet you won't find a more benevolent king than me!"
Lu Kun raised his voice as he was speaking. He seemed extremely pleased with the things he had built. He had no reason to fear a Hunter like Mo Fan!
Hunters were the ones breaking the rules most of the time. They often destroyed lives when they were fighting in the city.
On the other hand, he had built a town without crime, pain, and conflict!
"You would know better if you have been to other settlement towns. The rich are selfish, and the poor are lazy. It might seem like everyone has their freedom, but are their lives different from being captive in a prison? Are they really better than Prison Mountain?" Lu Kun pressed confidently.
"A splendid speech, no wonder you can disguise yourself as a successful entrepreneur. It sounds like you have completely merged with your disguise!" Mo Fan gave Lu Kun a round of applause.
How impressive… A man like him should consider being a politician. It was a waste for him to be an entrepreneur!
There had been a great shift among the Councilmen recently. Why didn't he consider joining the election? The Lu Clan had plenty of resources to support him!
"Have I said anything wrong?" Lu Kun asked confidently.
"Well, I just happen to be looking for a pet dog. I can provide my dog with a safe home and at least a meal of Spam once every three days. The only downside is it will have to wear a collar around its neck whenever it goes outside. Nothing else," Mo Fan answered.
Lu Kun was struggling to understand what Mo Fan was trying to say.
"What do you think about the conditions?" Mo Fan asked.
"Not bad for a dog, I guess," Lu Kun said indifferently.
"So, why don't you be my dog, then?" Mo Fan proposed.
Lu Kun's expression darkened. It was obvious he was trying his best to withhold his anger!
"Enough with your high-sounding speech, how long are you going to stick to your disguise? I know better than anyone what you really are!" Mo Fan swore at him.
If the people were truly living a peaceful life, why did the little girl not hear from her father for a few days?
If he was truly building a crime-free town, why did he allow the vampire to drink the blood of thousands of people and treat them like his blood bags while they were asleep?
It was wicked to exploit the people and harm them directly. It was even more wicked to enslave the people first, then exploit and harm them so they could not even put up a fight!
"You could have joined us, but you chose death instead!" The red Aura around Lu Kun grew stronger.
"Master, there's no need to reason with this idiot. He doesn't understand the brilliance of the dark era. He has no idea of the difference between us who are in power and the mundanes!" the Duke of Syam spoke up.
A terrifying shadow was moving inside the red mist behind Lu Kun.
His skin was turning blood-red, like it was brimming with an evil power. He no longer looked as vulnerable as a human. His flesh was far stronger than the flesh of demon creatures!
A red tail poked out from Lu Kun's suit. His fingers turned into long claws, and two horns were growing out from his forehead!
He had a tail, claws, and horns. Mo Fan had never seen a creature like it.
He wondered how shameless Lu Kun was to claim he was still a human. Why would he transform into such a ghastly creature if he was really a human?
The red demon had completely taken over his body. Even his red soul was brimming with violence and greed!
"Another Hunter is going to die at my hands. They keep wanting to pick a fight with me. I wouldn't mind killing them all!"
Lu Kun slid forward, stirring up a huge wave of soil behind him, and blew the cars on the street into the shops. The glass and shelves shattered into pieces as the supports collapsed to the ground.
Mo Fan and Liu Ru backed away simultaneously. "Liu Ru, can you deal with that vampire?" Mo Fan asked her quickly.
"Got it!" Liu Ru nodded.
