Chapter 717: 717
Han Zhan Meng continued seriously . "You killed the people who offended you, but those who did are undoubtedly people of influence . This influence they have is reflective of the responsibilities they carry . You thought that since they offended you, they should die! But at the same time, as you kill, you also kill off the hope of the lives of some innocent people!"
Jun Mo Xie did not disagree, but began to reflect on these words .
"In Blizzard Silver City, we gave great care to the Xiao Family due to our ancestral teachings! But ultimately, no matter how powerful or influential the Xiao Family is, they are still the subordinates in Blizzard Silver City and will never be the Lord of Blizzard Silver City!
"Just like the men under the Jun Family . They also have their own affairs, but when resolving an issue, they will bring out the name of the Jun Family and use it as a shield! This may not leave a positive image all the time, and even if it may seem like it does not do much damage currently, it will eventually causes grave impacts someday .
"Similarly, would you kill off a capable subordinate immediately just because he committed some offense and ruined the reputation or harmed the lives of innocent people? Or make him apologize to your enemies? Beg for their forgiveness? I believe you would not; if you were capable of this, you would not be that domineering Third Young Master Jun!"
"And neither would I, nor Blizzard Silver City do the same! Because at that time, the Xiao Family was the central force of Blizzard Silver City! And the Jun Family back then was too weak, so weak that it was not worth my attention!"
As horrible as Han Zhan Meng made it sound, it was all the truth .
"Even today, you are able demand for justice and get your revenge only because the Jun Family had managed to successfully rise back up," Han Zhan Meng said . "There are countless ways to demand reason and seek justice . But that is only applicable to ordinary people—you cannot deny this! Only power and abilities are taken in consideration when it comes to people of power! Justice is determined by power! As long as you have power, you have reason! No one would choose to offend someone of greater power and risk getting killed for the sake of their reasons and belief!"
"Among the higher class, sacrificing for the greater good is almost non-existent! It's always easier said than done . " Han Zhan Meng scoffed sarcastically . "The saying: 'The prince will be punished by the same law that governs the people if they were to commit an offense' was set by rulers, but in reality, for the tens of thousands of years, which prince did not have the blood of others on his hands? But when did they really get punished? Even if it's not the prince but the son of a magistrate, do they really ever get punished? It's only a pleasant saying . "
"The distinction in status has been set clear from this seemingly fair and impartial saying . In reality, this is the same as saying, 'if the Prince is to commit an offence, who dares to arrest him?'" Han Zhan Meng laughed sarcastically .
"With regards to that incident, the Han Family can only apologize, and that is the most we can do . When the Xiao Family wanted to wipe the Jun Family out, the only reason you were able to live till today is because Yan Yao threatened with her life in exchange for your safety! And that is why you can even seek revenge today! Based on this point alone, not only does the Han Family have no responsibility to the Jun Family, we also did you a favor!"
"That is the truth, no matter how you try to deny it . " Han Zhan Meng continued coldly . "Precisely because the Jun Family was too weak back then! Had the Xiao Family wiped you out, it would have made no difference to us! Isn't the only reason why you can seek revenge today is because you have sufficient power and ability today?"
"I agree with Master Han . I feel the same!" Jun Mo Xie spoke in an equally sincere and genuine manner . "Indeed, this is the pugilistic world! It is a place that leaves little choices . Everything is determined by power and strength, and justice is determined by fists . There was nothing wrong with what the Blizzard Silver City did then . I can understand!
"But understanding is one matter; how to react is another! I still seek an explanation from you, and it is just as Master Han said, precisely because the Jun Family has the power to do so now! We did not do so back then because we were too weak; it would have been the same as disgracing ourselves . "
Jun Mo Xie spoke honestly . "You said that the Han family did the Jun Family a favour, but I cannot agree with this statement because you did it not for the Jun Family but for your own daughter's sake, so please don't ever say that you did us a favor or anything of such sorts .
"So Blizzard Silver City still has to pay the price!" Jun Mo Xie said mercilessly . "Just as Master Han said earlier, 'This, is the pugilistic world!'"
"That's right! This is the pugilistic world . " Han Zhan Meng said sorrowfully after a while .
"Mo Xie! Can't you spare Blizzard Silver City?" Han Yan Yao stood up and pleaded . "How could your Third Uncle and I face each other like this…"
"Spare Blizzard Silver City?" Jun Mo Xie looked at her, but slowly shook his head determinedly . "Impossible!"
"Back down, Yao'er! This matter does not concern you!" Han Zhan Meng scoffed and faced Jun Mo Xie . "If that is the case, may I ask how the Han Family should pay this price that Third Young Master Jun speaks of? What sort of compensation will the Jun Family, or rather, Third Young Master Jun, be satisfied with?"
Jun Mo Xie was taken aback by this question .
