Chapter 41 - 41 41 Rules are Power

41: Chapter 41: Rules are Power 41: Chapter 41: Rules are Power Some believe that the existence of power is to break the rules, as long as the power is strong enough.

But the rules themselves are also a form of power, not manifested in one’s fist, but as an invisible, colorless chain that restrains everyone.

Rules are the embodiment of power, and when power evolves to its extreme, it is the rule!

Only in a chaotic world does survival of the fittest reign, a hell without rules, where everyone is weak, regardless of how powerful one individual may be.

These also align with Violet’s principles.

No one knows when she arrived here, appearing at the entrance of the castle.

By the time everyone regained their senses and looked at her with surprise, she was already watching the mayor’s carriage leave in the distance.

And on her cheek was a smile that no one could understand.

No one knows if the mayor will come back, but Violet is clear, he will not swallow this humiliation.

He will definitely return, it’s just a matter of time!

The only thing that currently bothers her is that Villes just let him go after beating him up.

It would be nice if he could have just killed the guy on the spot!

By then, even if someone came looking, she could wash her hands of it, put on an innocent face like a good citizen.

After all, she didn’t kill the mayor, anyone who wants to challenge the power of the rules with their fist, can have a go.

So, she thought as much in front of the towering ruined construct.

Villes knew he could kill the foolish guy, but he couldn’t do that.

Because that’s the rule, no matter how insignificant this role is, he has a charm that can protect him from death.

That charm is the Empire, the Emperor of the Empire has been eyeing these Glorious Nobles for a long time, like a hungry wolf, ready to take a bite at any opportunity.

The wealth accrued from biting once into their centuries-old fortune is enough for him to unscrupulously wage a war and gain even more wealth.

For an Empire, leading one’s family to become a member of the Glorious Nobles is the only mission of an Emperor.

But there’s not an inch of space left in this world already divided up.

To become a new Glorious Noble, one must tread on the bodies of the old.

It would be a bloody war, and only a reckless Emperor would do it.

So, everything is for the family’s interest!

Villes glanced at Violet, knowing he couldn’t make this mistake.

Violet, on the other hand, was shaking her head and constantly sighing, in her opinion, this guy should not have been let go!

If only he had killed him, instead, it only caused more trouble.

The sunlight touched the construct, casting its grand shadow on Violet and Villes, this matter, is not over yet!

But that will be their future trouble, how to solve it is Violet and Villes’s own trouble, it has nothing to do with the Leader of the Guild.

At this moment, the Leader of the Laborer’s Guild was standing beside Violet with a bitter smile on his face.

Compared to the arrogant mayor, he was too modest, not dressed in luxurious clothes, just a bit more exquisite than ordinary people.

Which is in line with his identity.

He carefully glanced at Villes standing beside him, although scared, he finally plucked up the courage, inhaled deeply and began to speak.

“Lady of the Castle…” he started.

Preoccupied with other thoughts, Violet, suddenly bending to the present, noticed the surprised expression on his face and smiled.

All of this, was caused by the recent events.

He was worried that the same thing would happen to him.

After all, even such a big figure as the mayor got beaten up so badly, what was he?

He muttered to himself in his heart.

Suddenly, a disingenuous smile spread across Violet’s face, and she took his hand.

“Ah, Mr.

Leader, please rest assured, as soon as the Mercenary Guild’s payment arrives, I will notify you …

as for interest, one ten-thousandth per day, I think, would be a reasonable price.”

This left the leader of the Laborer’s Guild feeling flattered.

He couldn’t imagine the interest, as long as he could get the money, he would be satisfied!

“You’re too kind, Lady Violet, we Laborer’s Guild are all honest people, we would never commit such a thing, you can give us the surplus whenever it’s convenient for you.”

Since there’s no interest to pay, Violet of course also politely engaged in pleasantries with this honest guild leader, before sending him off.

During all of this, Villes stood aside, watching with interest.

And then, not until the leader left, did Villes speak up, “You really didn’t have to do this, why did you?”

Taking everything by brute force is an unwritten rule on this continent.

Whether it’s the Magic Council or the Glorious Nobles, they all manipulate the rules of this continent from behind the scenes.

The strong create the rules, the strong break the rules, the strong possess power, which allows them to control wealth, they are the rulers of this world.

But Violet didn’t do it that way, after all, she was just a woman.

This was the conclusion Villes came up with, at this time, Violet was flipping her hair and looking at Villes.

“Of course I can do that, but because I have the ability not to, I won’t bully them.” She chose her words carefully.

Then she added, “Mr.

Villes, the greatest power in this world is the power that doesn’t show in a fist, the rules.”

“The rules are just set by the powerful.

The powerful can break the rules at will with their power!” Villes sneered.

At this point, Violet laughed, she turned her head to look at Villes, then asked, “How strong does one have to be then?”

“Indeed, the powerful can break the rules, but power itself is a rule, so between the strong and the weak, do you really believe you can be the one to break the rule?”

Having said that, she turned and walked away, leaving Villes alone.
