Chu De is dreaming.

Perhaps because of the topic he mentioned to Chu Xin before going to bed, he actually dreamed about what happened a few years ago.

At that time, Chu De was almost indifferent in the Ole Empire. After all, no matter who he was, as long as he went to the battlefield, he would definitely win the battle, and he would definitely be sacrificed by everyone.

But really speaking, Chu De didn't really care about these things at the time.

He didn't even know what his status was in the Ole Empire at that time.

Because at that time, Chu De's mind was completely occupied by another thing.

After Su Yuhan's death, Chu De's attitude toward Wu Mian underwent a 180-degree change.

He no longer wished for Faceless to be able to look at him.

Because Chu De has now deeply realized that Faceless guy is just a bastard.

This guy is not the person Chu De once imagined.

Chu De realized that he had projected some shadows from the world before he traveled onto the body of Faceless.

However, the imaginary "shadow" is not the real faceless in the final analysis.

That's just Chu De's fantasy.

Once upon a time, Chu De tried his best to get Wu Face to look at him, but that was just because Wu Face was someone he admired and admired.

However, once Faceless is just a confused guy like everyone else in the world, without any qualities that Chu De can appreciate...

So Chu De, why should he suppress himself again for him?

——When Chu De really made up his mind to give up something, his mobility and speed were astonishingly fast.

He began to fight for some things that he had always looked down on before, began to learn to play with power, and began to try for the first time to become a person he once hated after traveling through time.

Chu De abandoned his former weakness and confusion and began to become cruel.

He no longer fears anyone in this world.

Because he can become more ruthless than them.

He also no longer trusts anyone in this world.

Because the only person in the world worthy of his trust is dead.

A long, long time passed after that...

Many things in this world have changed over time.

At that time, Chu De had not been stepped on by anyone for a long time.

He has almost reached a position below one person and above ten thousand people in the Ole Empire.

To put it simply, Chu De has achieved almost everything in the world.

All the past events seem to have been gradually buried with time.

Whether it was the letters between Chu De and Su Yuhan, the look in Su Yuhan's eyes before he died, or Su Yuhan's gradually cooling body temperature that night...

No one mentions it anymore.

If Chu De wanted to, he could completely make himself the real protagonist in this world.

As long as Chu De is a little better at pretending, or tries to cater to the world a little more.

——He can continue to climb up step by step until he successfully reaches the top of the Ole Empire.

Then, Chu De can successfully use the Ole Empire and become the true number one person in the world.

By then, the comic will be finished, and Chu De can also feel what it feels like to have a world trampled under his feet.

Things should have developed in this order.

until……

In the meantime, several seemingly insignificant things happened.

…

It was a day during a certain war.

Chu De was thinking about how to blow up a certain fortress in Highgate Kingdom.

During that time, Chu De was almost addicted to this kind of war game. However, that night, Chu De suddenly heard someone behind him speaking a name that he had not heard for a long time.

Faceless.

"Do you believe it? Those guys in Highgate are trying every possible means to kill Faceless." Chu De heard a person behind him say.

"They actually sent me the location of where Faceless will attack next."

"It's incredible. Don't those people from Highgate have any brains?"

"What a pity that such a person was born in Highgate."

"But it is precisely because of this that we have to kill him."

"Yes, as long as a guy like that lives in this world for one day, he will always be the biggest enemy of our Ole Empire..."

Chu De was slightly stunned.

He turned his head and glanced at the place where the information was.

That was indeed a piece of information related to the direction of the Faceless attack. With Chu De's eyesight, he could tell at a glance that this information was very likely to be true.

Betrayed by his subordinates? A sneer appeared on Chu De's lips.

As expected of Wu Mian, when I thought it was him, I wasn't surprised.

After all, it is normal for that guy to be betrayed.

Chu De originally wanted to continue sorting out the information he had on hand.

But……

When Chu De turned his head and glanced at the faceless photo on the information, his eyes suddenly stopped.

…

At that moment, Chu De suddenly felt a trace of anger in his heart.

The anger was a bit inexplicable and made people confused.

Faceless has had a very bad life over the years, and Trudeau certainly knows this.

Since the end of the war, Faceless's life has gone from bad to worse, and now his position as number one general is even in jeopardy.

Chu De was well aware of these conditions.

As Chu De's position in the Ole Empire became higher and higher, he no longer took Wu Mian into his heart.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can now see that Wu Mian and Chu De are no longer on the same track.

Even in the comics, the plots of Faceless are all presented as villains. Chu De does not need to care about this guy at all. As long as the time comes, Faceless will naturally die by his hands.

However……

Chu De suddenly discovered something far beyond his imagination.

——The Wu Mian in the photo is not as embarrassed as Chu De imagined.

Most of what Chu De saw in comics were faceless ones that had been processed by cameras. Naturally, such faceless faces were very embarrassed.

However, after seeing the photos of No Face in real life, Chu De suddenly discovered that the faceless person in the photos looked no different from the one in previous years.

He was still so cold and aloof, as if he was looking down on everything in front of him.

But...

However, those eyes did not contain the weakness and surrender that Chu De imagined.

Obviously, as long as there was a hint of weakness and surrender in those eyes, maybe Chu De would not be so angry at that time.

Angry.

Obviously, no one can remain the same despite being betrayed for such a long time.

Chu De suddenly felt like he couldn't suppress the fire in his heart.

He hopes to die without a face.

No one wants Faceless to die in the most miserable way in the world more than Chu De.

Just like Su Yuhan, his blood was slowly drained away, leaving only a cold body.

By that time, all the hatred between Chu De and Wu Mian can be considered wiped off.

Only in this way... can the anger in Chu De's heart that seems to never end can be healed.

However……

At that moment, Chu De felt that another emotion was strangely rising in his heart.

That kind of emotion is called "unwillingness".
To be continued...
