"This is my story," Li Aozi said, taking a drink with a frustrated expression.
"I truly admire these people's courage and passion, but their strength and thinking are not up to standard; their blood has flowed in vain, wasted on meaningless battles."
"Then, why did you come to find me?"
As Barnum tried to snatch back his bottle of alcohol, Li Aozi flicked his wrist and immediately swatted his hand away, then seriously said to him,
"Barnum, I plan to change tactics and save the nation through a roundabout strategy. I wonder, would you like to return to the comfortable life you once had?"
"Yes!"
Without giving it a second thought, Barnum blurted out,
"I was living well, earning a good income, and my job was leisurely. Having so many kind and enthusiastic Grantians around me, truth be told, I've long considered this place my home."
Very good, Li Aozi nodded, Barnum's reaction was within his expectations.
