Chapter 12 - Persuasion

" So what happened to the second wielder ? how did he died ? " Shu asked wanting to more .

This time Scarlett wasn't as sad as the previous one , clearly she didn't like this person much .

" it's a ' She ' . She was a woman from the barbarian races and her only affinity was the most rare ruin and her talent excellent . Barbarians are a races who takes 'the strong rules' law to the extreme , they only obey the strong . This time I was quite optimistic about the situation as barbarians although I don't like this lawless race , they are known for their physical strength . Because she had the rare ruin magic and strong physic she could've awakened me easily . But alas barbarians are quiet dumb they have muscles instead of brain . Her clan was attacked and she tried to defend but the enemies were more in numbers and stronger , in rage she overloaded her ruin magic with her life-force and fought back . I advised her to escape and promised her that I will make her stronger so she can take revenge later . But she didn't listened and mocked me saying I am a coward and a warrior don't run away from a fight . She fought with all she had and was able to kill all the attackers but it was a mutual destruction , no one from her clan survived and she exhausted all her life span and died . Sigh .... what a tragic and stupid ending , well what more could you expect from barbarian they are really stupid . " Scarlett sighed again and finished the tragic tale of her second wielder .

Hearing her disrespect the person , Shu's evaluation of her as the mighty red dragon empress became quite low .

He couldn't help but refute " I can understand were she's coming from . Although , you say she died stupidly but that's because you don't understand the relation of kinship . You were born and always been alone and never interacted with others , you don't have a family of your own so you don't get the grief of losing someone dear to you . You say barbarians only respects the strong , then do you wondered why they strive to become stronger? "

" Because they want to rule over others maybe ?... I don't know ? " Scarlett never thought about it much before, she thought it was natural because others gave her the empress title as she was the strongest . She concluded others wanted title like so they tried to become stronger.

Shu was surprised at first then realised that although the situation is looking like some anime but the reality is different as Scarlett was born at the highest point , she never struggled for anything so she didn't have any drive to achieve something . And because of dragon's reclusive and arrogant character she never went to see much of the world and hear about weak people's problems .

Shu let's a tired sigh , looking like although old , the empress doesn't even know the common sense . No wonder others were able to sneak attacked her she's far to innocent for someone so old . The disadvantages of a introvert .

" sigh ... looks like you don't have the basic knowledge about some matters , as you are born at the highest level you didn't struggle and as a introvert you don't have friends who could guide you to the right path no wonder you were tricked . "

" Hey brat....watch your mouth who said I didn't struggled even if I was born at the highest level I wasn't able to control my power right away no one was able to from my bache of primogen's it took some primogen's to hundred thousand years to even million years to fully gain control over there power , were I was able to do that in only ten thousand years . Everyone's regarded me as a genius . Humph ... and who said I don't have friends although not many I have few friends . " Scarlett could clearly tell Shu is belittling her and and blaming her for ignorance . How could she accept that , in truth he is right but he didn't have to know it right ? but She do have friends she talked to before although once in one or two thousand years , if that's considers friendship ? then she had friends .....

" alright ... alright you don't have to explain , I understand . But let me tell you the reason your thought is indeed not wrong but it's incomplete . You see people who goes by your reason are all alone they don't have any form of relationship with anyone , but people with a family to care for and be cared by have a totally different reason to become stronger and that is to protect there loved ones and give them a easier life . They want be strong so that their family can be proud of their blood and their enemies think twice before they try to do anything to their close ones . "

" So I think what she did was perfectly normal to do from any normal person's point of view , who has a family . Think even if she was able to escape and grow stronger so what ? take revenge ! then ? so what you can't bring back the dead no matter how powerful you are . So she choose to kill everyone and die with her family . "

" Let me be clear I'm a pretty selfish person you know as long as something doesn't concerns me or people I care about , the world can burn for all I care . " shu said what he knows about himself .

" So why did you try to save that old woman ? you won't have died if you didn't do anything ? " Scarlett asked curiously if what Shu's saying is true and he's selfish then why did he tried to help that old woman .

Shu have blacklines on his forehead hearing Scarlett calling someone old when she's clearly older but his not gonna say that least he gets beaten up . " Well you see , you could say that it was a mistake for my part . After observing the situation I thought he was a random street thug , so I decided to help out as I've arrived at the place anyway . I didn't expect him to be so smart to hide the gun and not to use is till was necessary tsk.... " Shu is also quite angry at the guy he hide the gun if Shu knew he had a gun , he would have run away .

Scarlett understood that as a MMA fighter Shu can easily win over a regular thug so he tried to help . he just didn't expected the man was hiding a weapon .

" whatever now I have a very important matter to discuss with you . " saying this Scarlett's face turned serious , seeing that she doesn't understand the way of the world very much she Stopped thinking about it and came to the important matter at hand .

" Do you agree to rebuild a new body for me or not ? " she asked the most important question .
