I'm a villain, not a devil

"Hey, the city has been busy and chaotic lately, why are you all gathered together?"

"I don't know. Besides, we are at the city gate again. Are there any fools who want to attack the city again?"

"They don't want to die? How many people did my sect send out? They were suppressed by Mr. Sean. The surviving captives are now all working in the chemical plant... Tsk, I'm afraid they won't live for many more years."

At the gate of Paradise City, countless residents crowded together. They received the news that there seemed to be something to be announced.

Time passed bit by bit, and just when everyone was confused, a figure appeared above.

The gathered people saw the man's face, and other people in various parts of the city also saw the man through the big screen.

It's Sean.

As soon as Sean appeared, shouts of enthusiasm, awe, desire, and madness rang out involuntarily. Finally, those shouts became louder and louder, merging together to shake the entire Paradise City slightly.

It is difficult for the people of Paradise City to clearly express their feelings towards this tyrant. It is him who allows ordinary people to live in peace. It is also him who does not allow any dissent, and the only way for those who resist is death. It is also him who can stop the coveted beasts and enemies outside the city by himself, and give them a more miserable end than the rebels.

Countless unspeakable emotions intertwined and finally converged into cheers.

Regardless of the cheers, Sean just smiled and looked at the city, and after a long time he extended a hand.

As soon as this hand was extended, the whole city fell silent.

He has never been a talkative dictator unless it is necessary, so this time Sean went straight to the point.

"During this period of time, everyone's life should be more difficult than before."

No one objected, no one agreed, everyone looked at him.

Sean looked at the scene with satisfaction and continued, "I don't want to say too much. Everyone should know the reason. I just want to ask, have there been more jobs and higher prices recently?"

No one dared to speak. In such a big city, not a single person dared to speak.

Sean just smiled and said: "You are afraid of me - but I am asking questions now, just answer me, there will be no punishment."

Even with such a promise, people still didn't dare to say a word. Sean shook his head helplessly and pointed at someone at random: "You go ahead and say it."

The young girl turned pale immediately and didn't even dare to take the microphone handed to her by the staff.

Sean laughed and waved his hand.

A bottle of gene-assisted evolution potion worth more than 500,000 credit points fell into her arms. This thing can help people awaken their superpowers and is in short supply.

Just this bottle of potion awakened the greed in the bones of the people in Paradise City, and many of them began to breathe rapidly.

The girl's eyes flickered, but she finally grabbed the potion and took the microphone.

Sean smiled and said, "Tell the truth."

The girl panted quickly, hesitated for a long time, and then raised the microphone: "Yes, yes... Recently, both me and my parents have extended their working hours by two or three hours. Originally, I could have a good lunch for twelve credit points, but now the price has increased to eighteen credit points..."

Sean continued to ask: "Will it be difficult?"

The girl nodded: "Yes, a little bit..."

Sean clapped his hands and said, "Isn't this just telling the truth? Come on, next one."

The same scene continued to happen, and this time the man who was chosen also gave the same answer in the end.

"Yes, I've been very busy and tired recently. Originally, I could support the two children by working alone, but now I have to add half of my wife's salary. The children also said that they don't have as many nutritious meals as before, and they feel hungry occasionally."

Sean nodded in approval: "Next."

"I, I have a patient at home, and I feel like I can't make ends meet..."

With Sean's encouragement, more and more people spoke out their thoughts. Although they seemed different, the bottom line was that the workload was getting bigger and bigger, while the purchasing power of the salary was getting lower and lower.

Seeing that almost everyone had asked questions, Sean looked at the entire city again.

"Tell me, is it the same with you?"

After a little hesitation, people shouted out.

"Yeah, I've been working too much lately!"

"The streets aren't as clean and tidy as they used to be. I clearly saved up money to buy the most expensive block!"

"I have to cut back on my meals, otherwise my salary will be spent on food and I won't be able to do anything else."

The noise grew louder and louder, and more and more people joined in the complaints, until finally, the whole city was boiling.

People are talking about the bitterness and dissatisfaction during this period, and are complaining about the chaos in the city during this period.

Many senior executives standing by and watching were dumbfounded. Was Mr. Sean causing the riot himself?

However, at this moment, Sean burst into laughter.

"Do you know why?"

The calm laughter silenced the city once again, and everyone looked up at him.

Sean slowly opened his hand, making a deafening sound.

"You have too much work to do. Since you don't have anyone to work for you, you have to do a lot of simple but repetitive tasks by yourself."

"You, your income is too low because you have to take care of the patients at home and go back and forth between work and housing every day."

"You, your whole family can't get enough to eat? Of course you have too many children at home who can't work, and you have to send them to school, and food is getting more and more expensive!"

"You, you, you...all of you, are like this!"

The city seemed so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and people looked at Sean with their mouths open in shock.

But Sean only paused for a moment. He slowly moved upwards. The largest artificial sun in Paradise City was right above his head, illuminating every part of his face. Liveliness, greed, ambition...

Sean smiled slightly: "Why is all this happening?"

No one answered, so Sean gave the answer himself.

"Because you are too weak, because we are too weak, because, Paradise City is too weak!"

The sound is deafening!

Then, Sean smiled a smile that the whole city would never forget.

The corners of his mouth almost turned up to his cheekbones: "We are too weak, and we have too little accumulation. But, fortunately... there are people who are weaker than us."

The gate of Paradise City slowly opened, and on the plain ahead, a dense crowd of people was approaching.

They all had pale faces, were shackled, and had a dazed look in their eyes.

Sean's voice continued to echo.

"What if someone could do those simple and tedious tasks for you without much pay? What if someone could help you take care of your family for just a meal?"

"What if... you start to have power?"

The whole city was gasping for breath.

Sean's eyes were bright and greedy, and his voice penetrated everyone's ears.

The flying craft came, and large amounts of food fell from the sky. Sean was laughing.

"My friends, why don't you come and claim your spoils?"

"You fought for Paradise City, for me, Sean, and for... for yourselves! And for the spoils you won!"

The city is boiling and the tyrant is laughing.

"I declare that from today on, Heaven City will officially colonize the Holy City of the Believer Church, and all Believer Church believers will be made slaves."

There was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

"And you, the people of Paradise City, swear in my name, Sean, that each and every one of you has the right to divide the spoils. Remember, every one of you."
