Eugene absolved himself of all responsibility.
He's all talk and no action; he doesn't actually possess any exceptional leadership skills.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
If I had been fooled too much by these guys and they had become complacent and arrogant under my protection, then the tragic outcome would greatly undermine my authority.
I will help you become stronger, but not in a mother hen leading her chicks.
I will use methods more cruel than those of eagles to throw you out of the nest, forcing you to undergo a transformative growth.
Until you are worthy of the position behind me!
Eugene unleashed a long string of menacing words, making himself appear even more ferocious.
His words revealed the harshness of the road ahead, which froze many passionate hearts.
Is it really that heartless?
Rey clutched her alabaster chest, feeling a little short of breath.
She was used to family life and found it difficult to imagine her future like Eugene did, using the imagery of a hellish training camp.
Anyone who wants to establish a home must undergo a brutal selection process.
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest."
Eugene recited this profound and enigmatic quote.
He stared intently at the pair of eyes that were beginning to panic, but inwardly he was laughing.
The power of language is truly immense.
With just a few casual words of deception, they can easily manipulate the emotions of heretics.
They can cry when you want them to cry, laugh when you want them to laugh, and look gloomy when you want them to look gloomy. They have no choice but to obediently bow their heads!
A slap followed by a sweet date.
It's about time.
Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, Eugene once again began his scheming tactics.
With a wave of his hand, a heavy bag appeared in his hand.
boom! !
With a crisp snapping sound, the monsters' ears perked up.
They were all too familiar with that timbre.
That bag contains magic stones!
What is he going to do next?
Meanwhile, Mary, who was still a little confused by Eugene's bewildering behavior, immediately beamed with joy upon seeing the heavy bag.
I knew it! Eugene is the best!
These magic stones were the spoils from clearing out the monsters around the area of Amphisbina.
There's an importance to choosing the right time to give gifts.
The best gift is the one given at the best time!
"However, I have also said that I will not let any of my compatriots repeat my mistakes."
Eugene untied the enormous bag, revealing it filled with dazzling magic stones.
His smile softened, and he once again adopted the same arrogant expression that Rey had in her eyes.
"The mistake was that we must be fully prepared before taking any risks!"
193! Are you shy? (Silver laugh)
"Don't take risks without being fully prepared!"
"I know this mistake all too well; you mustn't repeat it!"
Using this pretext, Eugene was able to send out the large number of magic stones he had previously collected.
He originally collected them for these heretics as gifts to greet them.
However, the timing of gift-giving requires careful consideration.
Giving something in advance may not necessarily earn you genuine goodwill; after all, one shouldn't accept something for nothing.
Once a certain emotional foundation has been established, a generous gesture like this would be a true act of kindness in times of need!
Yes, you are trash, you are worthless.
And I won't tolerate you guys.
However, as my future subordinate, I should still show him this small gesture!
People rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles, and heretics rely on magic stones!
If you eat enough, even a moss giant can become level 5.
Therefore, for a special monster that is more intelligent, breaking through by accumulating resources is also a viable option!
Wow!
When Eugene threw the huge bag full of magic stones in front of the heretics.
They were once again baffled by Niu Niu's behavior patterns.
No, bro, what are you up to?
First they launched a surprise attack, then they gave a speech.
Everyone was really excited, but then they were met with a bucket of cold water.
We're still feeling down, and you've already given us a whole bunch of experience points.
What exactly is going on in my mind?
If Eugene were facing a group of troublemakers, then the above-mentioned wild speculation would naturally occur.
However, the heretics are very, very simple and very grateful.
"It's tsundere, isn't it!"
"You're definitely a tsundere!"
Rey mentally complained, but looking at the pile of glittering magic stones in front of Niu Niu, the corners of her lips curled up once again.
Even for Eugene, collecting such a quantity would take a very long time.
Songbird Beauty's inner thoughts continued to stir as she imagined Eugene's true nature, falling deeper and deeper into his trap!
In Rey's opinion, Eugene kept trying to portray himself as an unapproachable person, but he would be exposed as soon as he took any action!
Initially, he intended to appear as a villain, which is why he restrained himself.
But the method of restraint is perhaps too gentle.
When he released her, Eugene even gave Rey a bottle of potion.
Later, perhaps he was genuinely disappointed with the strength of his compatriots, and said some harsh words.
But when faced with those innocent, yearning eyes, he still spoke from the bottom of his heart about his lofty and beautiful aspirations.
Is this what they call care and empathy?
Rey, who was carefully analyzing Eugene's inner thoughts, had completely come to see this fierce yet intelligent bull as a kind-hearted companion.
Her gaze was filled with admiration as she scrutinized his strong and imposing physique, and a long-lost desire to understand him better seemed to stir within her.
Self-planning is underway, progressing steadily!
"Completely prepared...?"
"Hehe, that's true."
Seeing everyone hesitate to step forward, Rey roused herself and, beaming with joy, promptly began to guide them.
"Everyone! Please don't misunderstand!"
A playful yet feignedly serious voice echoed throughout the venue.
"Mr. Eugene wasn't acting out of kindness!"
"He didn't spend a lot of time and energy collecting these magic stones in order to make everyone's strength increase quickly!"
"He didn't always say harsh words because he was used to maintaining his authority. In fact, he felt very guilty and wanted to make amends to everyone who was injured!"
"In short, none of it has anything to do with Mr. Eugene's true feelings~"
"He is truly a very, very strict person. These magic stones are just a reminder to you to always be prepared to face difficulties!"
Years of interaction made it easy for Rey's meaning to reach the hearts of the heretics.
They immediately realized that this guy's so-called domineering and ruthless attitude was nothing but empty talk!
Yup!
Even the most beautiful home is built upon the foundation of these heretics.
If they cannot unite, what is the point of building a paradise?
Their little minds suddenly became sharp, and the monsters looked at each other, exchanging glances.
Their drooping lips and aggrieved mood immediately vanished.
This seemingly wicked but actually kind-hearted and eccentric fellow, in their eyes, was just like Shilong Guros.
However, Eugene's vacillation was even more severe than that of Gulus.
Perhaps it was because it was our first meeting and I was very excited, and didn't know how to get along with everyone!
Mary watched all this from behind with a grin.
She was also fooled by Eugene's reaction.
After all, he himself said he's very shy!
"Alright!" Eugene snorted coolly, crossed his arms, and puffed out his chest.
