Chapter 23 - Moral Kidnapping? I Directly Counterattack Morality!

"I have a dream. I hope all children can have the right to an equitable education!"

"That they can change their destinies through knowledge!"

"And in turn, change the destinies of those around them!"

"Even the fate of their hometown!"

"I have a dream. I hope for a prosperous nation and a rejuvenated ethnicity!"

"The Huaxia nation rises in the East!"

"Independently developing technologies that are no longer controlled by others!"

"Everyone can be proud of being a descendant of Yan and Huang!"

"I have a dream. I hope people no longer have to toil for three meals a day!"

"They will no longer have the pressure of car loans and mortgages!"

"They can do what they love!"

"And have the conditions to strive for their dreams!"

"So, I have decided to use half of the prize money after taxes to establish a Huaxia Fund!"

"Specifically for building schools in impoverished mountainous areas, to ensure that every child has the opportunity to go to school!

"A strong youth means a strong nation; a wise youth means a wise nation!"

"If we want our country and nation to become great again, the youth are our hope for the future!"

...

Mu An spoke passionately.

Some reporters were frantically taking notes, while others were thoughtfully recording with their voice recorders.

Although these words sounded somewhat like a distant dream, at least someone dared to think this way, so they naturally dared to report it truthfully!

Moreover, this was also the kind of answer that higher-ups liked to see.

Especially the phrase "A strong youth means a strong nation; a wise youth means a wise nation" was particularly moving.

It was definitely a positive social message!

"Who knows if you're just saying one thing while doing another behind the scenes?"

"Establishing a fund? What if you take the prize money and go back on your word, embezzling public funds?"

Bai Zihao couldn't help but speak up, his tone filled with resentment and sarcasm.

Now he also knew that the two hundred million was basically impossible to belong to him again, and he felt some resentment towards the other party.

It was because this useless rich second generation snatched away his opportunity that it disrupted his subsequent commercial empire plan!

How could he swallow this anger?

"Bai Zihao has always found it hard to accept that you snatched away the two hundred million prize money, and he harbors extreme resentment towards you. His mentality begins to destabilize, calmness decreases -1-1-1-1-1-1-1... Impatience increases +1+1+1+1+1+1..."

[Protagonist's luck -2000, congratulations, you have received the reward [Auto-Lock Enemy Brick]!]

[Auto-Lock Enemy Brick]: As long as it's a target you've locked onto, throwing a brick will definitely hit the back of their head within 0.000001 seconds, causing a 100% stun effect for 10 seconds!

This effect can stack!

At the same time, the range of brick attacks is influenced by mental power!

Current range: 1000 meters!

No matter how skilled you are, you still fear a brick!

There's nothing that can't be solved with a brick; if there is, then throw another brick!

Even if it's a god, I'll knock you down with a brick!

——————

"Oh wow! Not bad at all!"

"As expected of the protagonist, he even revealed an incredible artifact!"

Mu An gave him a meaningful glance, then said loudly, "Everyone may know, or may not know my identity, so let me be straightforward!"

"I am the only heir of the Tianmu Group!"

"As for this Huaxia Fund, I will not establish it in my personal name, but in the name of the Tianmu Group!"

"At that time, I will also publicly disclose the detailed flow of all funds!"

"Our Tianmu Group has always acted with a clear conscience, adhering to the principle of 'trust', and we are very willing to accept supervision from all sectors of society!"

"I also hope to receive supervision from all sectors of society!"

The crowd was taken aback.

Clearly, most of them did not know that this young man before them was actually the young master of the Tianmu Group!

The Tianmu Group truly lives up to its name!

It is a super giant group that can shake Huaxia with just a stomp!

- ["I was wondering which young man had such great ambition, directly donating half of that hundred million prize! And investing it in projects that benefit the country and the people! Turns out he is the young master of the Tianmu Group! His vision is indeed not something ordinary people can compare to!"]

- ["Oh my! I've lived for thirty or forty years and probably haven't lived as clearly as this young man! To be honest, if it were me, I would have secretly taken that hundred million prize and then just quit and laid flat! Who would think about contributing to society?"]

- ["Hahaha! With the Tianmu Group's name as a guarantee, this fund is basically secure! The Tianmu Group's reputation in society is well-known! But he didn't establish the fund in his own name, instead hiding his achievements and fame, which makes me respect him even more! This is a truly rooted local enterprise in Huaxia! Taking from the people, using for the people!"]

The reporters present were almost all full of praise.

But Bai Zihao felt even worse hearing their compliments for Mu An than if he had lost his two hundred million prize!

In his eyes, Mu An was just a person seeking fame and reputation.

He was simply a shameless person!

A dog can't change its habit of eating shit!

If this rich second generation could really use this money for good, then let him take the place of the dog and eat shit!!

"You won two hundred million, and you only donated half to establish a fund?"

"And you're bragging about such a grand Huaxia Fund? If I had won, I would have donated it all!"

Bai Zihao knew he shouldn't say too much at this moment.

But his emotions got the better of him, and he couldn't help but speak sarcastically.

His tone was filled with a sour lemon flavor.

The duck that was about to be served to him just flew away, and he could only watch helplessly.

He could do nothing, achieve nothing.

This made his mentality somewhat collapse!

[Thinking about how the two hundred million prize is slipping away from him and turning into your wealth, the protagonist Bai Zihao's mentality crumbled a little more, luck -500, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +50 million]!]

Mu An looked at him as if he were a fool.

The reporters looked the same way.

"If you had that much money, would you really donate it all?"

Suddenly, Mu An laughed.

This guy actually wanted to morally blackmail him?

Then he shouldn't blame him for counterattacking the so-called morality!

"Yes, if it were me, I would donate it all! You, a young master of the Tianmu Group, wouldn't lack this little money, right?"

"Donating only half makes your Tianmu Group seem too petty!"

"And since it's something beneficial to society, the more money donated, the better!"

Bai Zihao grew more confident as he spoke.

The other party didn't lack money to begin with, and now they had won such a large prize, getting richer and richer, which was completely unfair!

What he couldn't get, Mu An, this useless rich second generation, shouldn't be able to get either!

Moreover, he deliberately framed it as 'the Tianmu Group being stingy' instead of 'Mu An being stingy'.

This way, he subtly shifted the concept.

Not donating in full would damage the reputation of the Tianmu Group!

If he donated everything, then Mu An, that useless rich second generation, would lose that two hundred million prize.

It would be equivalent to getting nothing!

According to his plan, as long as he provoked the other party a little more, he should be able to hook them in!

But Mu An just wouldn't take the bait.

He looked at the other party meaningfully and sneered.

"Unfortunately, the one who won the prize is me, not you!"

"Whether to donate, how much to donate, that's all my business!"

"I just want to donate half and keep half for myself to enjoy! What can you do about it?"

"Don't say this is just my personal prize, it's reasonable and legal! Even if it belongs to our Tianmu Group's funds..."

"Our Tianmu Group's way of doing things is not something a sneaky guy like you can dictate!"

Bai Zihao's face turned ugly as he was openly insulted.

The other party's unyielding response was somewhat unexpected for him!

The scene he had envisioned where the other party was at a loss did not happen!

Instead, the shift in tone almost caught him off guard!

When did this useless rich second generation become so arrogant and domineering?!

He was very confused.

"How about this! Since you also have such noble ideals as I do! Let's both take a step back!"

Mu An smiled, looking like a cunning old fox ready to dig a pit for someone.

"As long as you donate all your family's assets to the Huaxia Fund for charity, I will also donate the entire two hundred million prize to it!"

"I'm not exaggerating, your family's total wealth might only be a few million at most! Swapping my two hundred million after-tax amount for your few million, no matter how you think about it, you're the one who profits!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely thank you on behalf of the children in the mountains!"

I... a few million in exchange for a 'thank you'?

Thank you for what, damn it!

He was poor, not sick!

Bai Zihao's face under the mask looked even worse, as if he had just swallowed an extremely unpalatable fly.

What he had just said was merely to vent his frustration!

If he really had to give up all his family assets in exchange, he would never accept it!

Let's not even mention whether his family could come up with a few million in assets.

Just knowing it would have to be invested in the fund controlled by the other party, that would definitely be like a meat bun hitting a dog, going in with no return!

No matter how it was used, it would be up to the other party to decide!

He was just short on money, not really a fool!

A wave of moral blackmail against the other party failed, and instead, he found himself in a somewhat awkward position.

Bai Zihao hated that useless rich second generation Mu An to the core!

[The protagonist Bai Zihao was caught off guard by your words, in a defensive and offensive position, disliked by everyone, luck -300, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +60,000]!]

Meanwhile, Mu An was coldly laughing inside.

Since you like moral blackmail, then let's both be morally blackmailed!

After all, he had plenty of money and didn't care about the gain or loss of this two hundred million prize at all!

If he could take advantage of the protagonist, that would be a win for him!

"What's wrong? I'm willing to throw in two hundred million, and you can't even part with a few million?"

"Could it be? Could it be? Is there really someone who talks big but can't follow through?!"

Mu An feigned surprise.

This move was almost equivalent to directly roasting Bai Zihao over a fire.

If it weren't for his foresight today, using a mask to cover his face, he would have probably already faced social death!

Bai Zihao clenched his fists, gritting his teeth.

The gaze fixed on Mu An was terrifying, as if it could devour a person.

But soon, he lowered the brim of his hat, feeling extremely aggrieved and helpless.

Staying any longer would only be self-inflicted suffering.

So, he could only choose to leave, tail between his legs, under the disdainful eyes of the reporters...

However, this was just a strategic retreat; he would definitely get back at them twice as hard!

Heh! Just wait!

One day, he would trample Mu An, this useless rich second generation, and the Tianmu Group underfoot!

He would make them be despised by everyone!

[The protagonist Bai Zihao was caught off guard by your words, attacked and defended in an unusual way, despised by the crowd, luck -200. Congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +2 million]!]

[The protagonist Bai Zihao harbors extreme resentment towards you, super doubled, his mentality further collapses, luck -300. Congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +100,000]!]

Mu An watched Bai Zihao's departing figure, secretly sneering.

If he let him leave comfortably, it would only make him uncomfortable!

[Use [Bad Luck Card *1] on Bai Zihao!]

[[Bad Luck Card *1] used successfully!]

"The other party will experience continuous bad luck within the next day, and will also encounter bloody disasters."

"But due to the other party's high luck, it will not result in life-threatening bad luck events!"

Bloody disasters?

But it can't threaten life?

Although it's a bit of a pity that he can't directly kill the other party, achieving the goal of annoying him is still quite good!

The Bad Luck Card, a mysterious item that affects luck, is completely undetectable.

It's simply a divine tool for tricking people!

If only he could get more of them!

Mu An's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Meanwhile,

Bai Zihao inexplicably shivered.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that something bad was about to happen!
