Zhou Tieyi leaned back into his chair in a relaxed posture and looked at Li Jianhu. "Now that you've seen He Qigong, aren't you less angry than you imagined at the man who orchestrated a scheme behind your back to harm you?"
Asked this, Li Jianhu was momentarily stunned. It was true—Zhou Tieyi’s words earlier had revealed much, including He Qigong’s machinations, Prince Ning’s casual disregard for the lives of thousands of Lake Heart Academy students, and Zhou Tieyi’s own cold indifference and tacit approval. Given his past temperament, he would have long since rushed forward to confront them without a second thought.
Zhou Tieyi continued, "Did you feel a secret thrill when He Qigong knelt before me, shivering and anxious? This sense of holding authority, of having the power of life and death, can make even those standing on the sidelines feel a sense of reflected glory. Your previous questions and the ideals you held dear are easily corrupted by the presence of such power."
