Actually, Chang Weicai felt he had no right to interject in this matter.
Who should be the King should be determined by Shen Mo and Bai Youwei themselves, and he respected everyone’s decision after careful deliberation.
But if Bai Youwei wanted him to listen, he would listen.
“The battle is in the form of a confrontational game. Once lost, both the King and the subjects will lose their jigsaw puzzles. When the number of puzzles is insufficient, the King will die, and the subjects will just turn into commoners.” Bai Youwei said, “Professor Chang, it’s clear that the King bears more risks than the subjects.”
Professor Chang nodded and sighed: “That’s right…”
Bai Youwei continued, “To enter the final battle, at least four rounds of battles have to be won. What the final game will be like is still unknown. Pessimistically speaking, our chance of winning until the end is very, very small. Since casualties are inevitable, why not choose the person who has an escape route?”
Professor Chang looked at her in shock: “You mean…”
“Professor Chang, I have the dollhouse.” Bai Youwei said with a faint smile, “If I feel that I can’t win, I can hide in the dollhouse before the game begins. But if Shen Mo is the King, no matter what sort of opponent he faces, he must face them head-on without any way to retreat.”
After hearing this, Professor Chang appeared hesitant, “Weiwei, are you worried about Shen Mo getting into trouble, so you…”
“Of course, I worry about him.” Bai Youwei smiled, “But you can’t deny that my analysis just now makes a lot of sense, right?”
Professor Chang frowned, falling into silence.
Bai Youwei’s voice dropped a bit as she slowly said, “Professor Chang, as long as I’m in the dollhouse, you all will definitely think of a way to save me. But if something happens to Shen Mo…I don’t have any recourse.”
These final words had a clear impact on Chang Weicai.
He nodded heavily, saying: “I understand…If anyone asks for my opinion, I will support you.”
Bai Youwei pursed her lips into a smile.
She didn’t know if they could win in the end, and she hadn’t decided what she wanted the world to look like, but at least for now, she wanted to hold as much power as possible in her own hands…Even if the opponent was Shen Mo.
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Shen Mo, but rather, she really didn’t want to…become just another stepping stone, a puzzle piece.
She wanted to be the King.
…
At night, the lights in the training room were still on.
Ya Chaohui launched a heavy punch at the sandbag, finally withdrawing his fist to rest on a bench nearby.
Not far away in the ring, Tan Xiao was throwing punches at Shen Mo.
Tan Xiao had trained with the coach all day but still hadn’t gotten the hang of it. His moves had begun to lose control, so Shen Mo took over the training personally.
Ya Chaohui watched for a while, before he heard the sound of a wheelchair entering the room.
He didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.
In this building, there was only one person who used a wheelchair.
Ya Chaohui continued to gaze indifferently ahead, pretending not to hear, and didn’t react to the commotion behind him.
The sound of Bai Youwei’s wheelchair grew nearer and nearer until it finally stopped beside him.
Only then did Ya Chaohui spare her a glance.
Bai Youwei gave a faint smile, “I know, you’ve always been unwilling to accept this. You believe that only Shen Mo deserves to be the King, right?”
Ya Chaohui glanced at her, then looked away without saying a word.
Perhaps he didn’t want to argue with her, or perhaps he simply disdained to communicate with her.
Bai Youwei didn’t mind. Watching Shen Mo and Tan Xiao training in the distance, she said softly, “If the King wins, the subjects will share in the victory with him. But if the King loses, he dies, and the subjects merely return to being commoners…Are you sure you want to choose him as the King?”
Ya Chaohui furrowed his brows deeply, turning his hostile gaze towards her: “What are you trying to say?”
Bai Youwei responded with a light smile, “You should know very well what I’m trying to say.”
