Tang Mei felt a chill run through her heart. She instantly classified Hao Qi as a Martial Artist of the Inner Qi Realm, and likely a powerful one at that. Weighing her words, she said, "You probably didn't hear clearly what I said. They are merely figures on the surface. Even if you kill their masterminds, what about the people behind the scenes? They can just easily find a few others to act as their lackey. This doesn't solve anything at all."
Hao Qi, however, just smiled and shook his head. "That logic holds, but in many cases, having logic alone isn't enough. If having logic were enough, what would be the point of power? What would be the point of sacrifice? Similarly, by all rights, if this situation is to be resolved, one should go straight to the masterminds behind the scenes. But firstly, I don't know who those masterminds are. Since they are called 'behind the scenes,' they are bound to guard their information very carefully. I don't even know who the mastermind is, so how am I supposed to find them?"
"As for the second point, it's even simpler. As for the slaves, the masterminds, and those vested interests—even if they deserve to die a thousand times—what about the people on the surface? Are these lackeys innocent? Therefore, to solve the issue of slavery, starting with them is definitely the right move."
