Chapter 1279 : Escape from Desperation

• "Shouldn't I be praised?" Taisha said, "This is a great achievement. Although the money I earned is not entirely legitimate, I am much better than those politicians who only know how to talk and the officials who do nothing. Anyone can talk about feeding every household, but it takes real ability to actually do it."
• After a moment of silence, Taisha's emotions eased slightly. He still held the gun firmly and said coldly to Lu Yanxi, "Alright, I've said enough. You are the smartest person I've ever met. You managed to find even my most secret underground passage. But you should understand one thing, the more powerful a person is, the more dangerous they are. If they can't be controlled, they will become enemies in the future. Honestly, I admire you for silently infiltrating my palace. So, if you don't join the Seven Star Society, I will always be on edge, unable to sleep peacefully. You either die or serve me. Only then can I have a peaceful sleep."
• "Now, tell me your choice. Will you agree or not?" Taisha added quickly, "I believe you have felt my sincerity. After I woke up, I could have ordered my soldiers to kill you, but I didn't. It's because I see a rare talent in you, and I don't want to kill you. You should think about this carefully."
