After listening to Xin Yi's words, Kobe Bryant fell silent for a moment before turning to Little Kobe and saying, "You and Topology go outside and wait for me. I have something to discuss with Mr. Xin." Little Kobe and Topology immediately opened the door and walked outside without hesitation.
Xin Yi also said to Lijie, "Lijie, I have matters to discuss with Mr. Bryant, so you should go out too." Lijie did not speak but looked at Xin Yi with a questioning gaze. Xin Yi gave her a reassuring look, and only then did Lijie turn and leave.
"Alright, Mr. Bryant, you can speak your mind now," Xin Yi said, his piercing gaze fixed on Kobe Bryant.
Kobe Bryant met Xin Yi's gaze for a long time before slowly sighing and saying, "Mr. Xin, you shouldn't just be a killer; you have many things you could do, such as being my partner."
"Mr. Bryant is overestimating me. Compared to your ambitions, I am truly insignificant. In fact, you are not content with merely ruling a gang; even now, you have long surpassed the realm of gangs, haven't you?" Xin Yi said cryptically.
"You are very clever, but I don't think you truly understand the real power of the Black K Party. You are just guessing, aren't you?" Kobe Bryant replied nonchalantly.
"Yes, I am guessing, but my guess is based on evidence. I believe that even if I don't ask, you will tell me; otherwise, you wouldn't come specifically to visit someone like me who holds no value for you. Am I right, Mr. Bryant?" Xin Yi said confidently with narrowed eyes.
Kobe Bryant suddenly let out a cold laugh, his expression turning stern as he looked at Xin Yi and said slowly, "I did come to tell you because I have always admired capable people. You are the only one I've seen who can survive under Topology's command. Topology has already told me what happened; he said you had the ability to kill him at that time. So I hope you can cooperate with me, which is also the premise for me sharing my entire plan with you."
"I'm sorry, but I don't think I can agree to anything," Xin Yi replied calmly.
"You haven't heard the conditions I can offer you yet. Or you can propose your own conditions; as long as they aren't too excessive, I think I can consider them." In Kobe Bryant's eyes, everyone in the world could be bought; it was just a matter of price.
"I think you're overly confident, Mr. Bryant. Do you really believe you can offer terms that would move me?" Xin Yi said with a slight smile that clearly carried a hint of sarcasm.
"Of course, I'm confident that I can meet your conditions," Kobe Bryant said dismissively of Xin Yi's sarcasm. "Money, power, territory, beauty—these are all yours to choose from. Of course, I'll only agree if I believe you're worth it."
"Haha... Do you think you are the ruler of the world? Money? Power? Kingdoms? Beauties? None of these can be given just because you say so. Everything is built on the foundation of the people of the world. You do not have that ability, or rather, no one has such ability. Your confidence is merely your own arrogant delusion. You cannot succeed, and the people of the world will not allow you to succeed. Therefore, you will ultimately fail!" Xin Yi's words were sharp, showing no mercy to Kobe Bryant.
A tyrant is still a tyrant. If an ordinary person had heard these words, they might have been furious, but Kobe Bryant was not. He merely glanced at Xin Yi in surprise and said, "Young man, you are too naive. Do you think this world is filled with justice? Do you think every country's regime exists for the welfare of its citizens? Wake up! Every regime in this world is selfish and evil; they only consider the interests of a very small number of people, including themselves. Everything else is just a tool to ensure their profit. When this relationship no longer exists, they can abandon all their people. The justice and beautiful truth you believe in are just like that."
"I admit your words are quite provocative and do touch on some truths," Xin Yi nodded in response. "But I also do not believe that you, Kobe Bryant, are a man of justice. I do not think you can change this world, nor do I believe your selfishness and evil are any less than those of any current regime. So everything you say is merely a facade for the crimes you have committed and will commit. Am I right, Mr. Bryant?"
"You are stubborn. I never claimed to be just. On the contrary, the Black K Party is seen as an evil gang in the eyes of ordinary people—a group of ruthless criminals. But let me ask you, what is black in this world? What is white? Is there a clear dividing line between black and white? Who defines black and white? The laws of nature dictate that it is the victor who writes history; the strong side represents justice while the weak side represents evil. If evil dominates the world, then that evil becomes justice." Kobe Bryant spoke eloquently. It must be said that although his words did not conform to conventional moral standards, they seemed to hold a thread of reason—extreme yet traceable.
"Regardless, most people in this world still enjoy the right to live. However, you, esteemed Mr. Bryant—the world's largest drug supplier—are invading their right to exist with drugs. Is this what Mr. Bryant calls justice? What he calls white? According to your theory, Satan should also be a savior! Hahaha... how ironic."
"It seems you still don't understand what drugs are. Drugs are inherently Satanic; everyone in the world knows this. Yet there are still people who rush towards it without hesitation. What does this indicate? It indicates that these people want to dedicate themselves to this devil; they have become the most loyal slaves to drugs. No one can save those who willingly fall into depravity. Just imagine what would happen if one day there were suddenly no drugs available in this world? I believe such destruction would rival that of World War II; countless addicts would go insane. This pathological madness could destroy any solid power—do you believe it? Furthermore, even if I were not the world's largest drug supplier, do you think drugs would disappear from Earth? No! More suppliers would emerge! So from a macro perspective, my selling drugs does not harm anyone; on the contrary, it prolongs countless lives—don't you think so?"
"Very well! Mr. Bryant has excellent rhetoric! I admit those who use drugs are indeed committing suicide; they do not know how to cherish their lives. Although they will eventually die, at least it is their own choice—they choose to end their lives in this way. But just because of that do you think you have the right to carry out their death sentence? By providing them with drugs, you not only exploit their money but also personally send them to hell! Do you think you have that right? Of course not! You are merely seeking your own benefit! In that case, what qualifications do you have to criticize hypocritical regimes? Although they may be hypocritical, they have not reached your level of nakedness! Compared to your actions, they can still be considered just."
"You see things too simplistically, young man," Kobe Bryant continued. "What you've seen is only a small part of what the Black K Party intentionally exposes to the public. The Black K Party's position in international society cannot be compared with any superpower. I can clearly tell you that among the current Fortune 500 companies, eight are fully controlled by the Black K Party. It can be said that the Black K Party's industries now span across the globe and have made indelible contributions to global economic prosperity. Moreover, many countries' regimes are actually under the control of the Black K Party; it is no exaggeration to say that global stability and prosperity also owe thanks to the Black K Party—any slight movement from them could shake the entire world."
"I believe what you're saying; if nothing unexpected happens, soon enough the Lusang Nation government will also be in cooperation with you, right? But I don't think this will change anything—a mere Lusang Nation cannot pose a threat to the entire world! I advise you not to become an enemy of all humanity; even if you're powerful enough to resist history's relentless tide, you'll die miserably and become a sinner in human history."
"You are mistaken again! First of all, I am not in cooperation with the Lusang Nation government because Bright Party is merely a branch organization of my Black K Party; Smith Tang is just a spokesperson I supported! So actually, the next ruling party of Lusang Nation will be Black K Party! Also, I will never become an enemy of all humanity—I am saving them! Therefore, I will not become a sinner in history; instead, I will be recorded in history and remembered forever."
What an arrogant madman! Xin Yi thought silently but could not deny his immense strength. Based on current information, it was clear that the Black K Party had considerable influence over both global economics and politics; if he truly wanted to swallow up some small countries, it would be as easy as pie. However, what puzzled Xin Yi was why data showed that the Black K Party was completely uninterested in seizing power when according to Kobe Bryant's earlier statements many countries' regimes were already under his control—why was there no movement at all? Did those countries' citizens really allow a gang to control their government?
Seeing Xin Yi deep in thought, Kobe Bryant seemed to sense his thoughts and said: "Do you think I would be foolish enough to use force to seize power? That’s what robbers do! The regimes in several countries controlled by Black K Party appear on the surface to be governed by their own people; however, these individuals are merely my spokespersons—of course they were all supported by me and must pledge loyalty to me."
What kind of person is this? Even Xin Yi finds the presence of Kobe Bryant somewhat terrifying. His goal is the entire world, and his strategy is to infiltrate and erode, capturing the whole world without deploying a single soldier. Such deep-seated cunning and such grand plans would surely astonish any great figure in history who expanded territories, wouldn't they?
A madman! A madman!
