Rise of the White Dragon-Novel

Chapter 358: Interview with Lucian Oliveira da Silva

After turning Leviathan back into a sword, Luan along with Nora and Lenore entered the city.

There were many people in the city. Even being just at the entrance, it was possible to see many people of different ethnicities.

"This city is huge. At least 3 times bigger than our clan…" Lenore muttered.

Nora disagreed: "Considering it's from an Emperor who is at the height of the Sixth Order, I think it's understandable. In fact, it's even small."

With the large amount of land that exists on this 'planet', it really wasn't very big.

"Hasn't it been said that it is an Emperor who until recently was unknown who created this city?" Luan said, "So it's understandable that it's not bigger."

"Speaking of a big city…" Nora said as they walked: "I heard rumors a few days ago that Matteo is 'taking care of' Flemish City."

"Oh. I kind of thought someone took over the city I created... Well, created isn't exactly the right word, I kind of won and 'modified' a few things." Luna shrugged. Despite having some nostalgia, he didn't care so much that he wanted to go there and claim the city.

Honestly, owning a city wasn't a very good thing. It was hard work and often made him waste time taking care of boring things. In the end, he left it in the care of his friend Matteo, however, he didn't expect that after so many years, Matteo would still be taking care of the city.

Whatever it was, he didn't much care if Matteo wanted the city for himself. Luan said casually, "Since Matteo is doing it, I let him do it."

Nora sighed and shook her head. Knowing that Luan was different from other people who liked being in power, she smiled without caring. It was because of things like this that she fell in love with him, yes?

Luan was the type who preferred to have smaller, more valuable lands and only have the people closest to him. Just like the island he'd made in the land she'd heard Lenore speak of. That sort of thing suits Luan better than a huge city with a lot of people dependent on him.

"Oh yeah, just so you know, I didn't know until a while ago where Matteo was. When I said I didn't know where he and the rest were, I meant it, okay?" Nora said.

"Hahaha, I didn't need to say all that, I kind of already knew when you said you found out a little while ago." Luan laughed and added, "I've known you long enough to know you wouldn't lie to me..." He looked at Lenore and then at Nora again: "Well, at least not something like that."

"That's..." Nora blushed for a few seconds, but then she chuckled casually: "Hehe, yes you're right."

In an interview conducted on the largest broadcaster in Brazil. Lucian Oliveira da Silva, a deputy from Minas Gerais, was seated next to the interviewer, Josef Soares.

After a few minutes of the interview, Josef asks: "Now it is a question that, like me, many Brazilians are curious to know: Lucian, you as a father, husband, son, and deputy of a big city, why are you against the citizens? good to have the power to protect yourself? Why do you want all the means of the Brazilian people to be strengthened through Cultivation?"

"Haha, I knew this question would come up at some point." Lucian laughed good-naturedly. He replied with a serious tone: "Josef, you should know that as much as the current president of Brazil embellishes the fact that everyone has the right to strengthen themselves and protect themselves from any danger, it is just the government's irresponsibility."

"Exemplify," Josef said.

"Mm, it's not hard to understand, once you know a little more. Just the lack of knowledge is blinding the Brazilian people." Lucian said: "The government's duty is to protect the Brazilian people, not the other way around. If we allow that to happen, the country will soon sink. Even though it all seems very amazing to be able to strengthen yourself and protect your family, the use of this power can be used in favor of criminality."

"I understand that, but then I ask you." Josef asked: "Since when does evil respect the law? Even if what you want happens, what will stop the bad guys from getting stronger and having even more victims? At this rate, what will citizens of goods be able to do in the face of oppression?"

"Tsk." Lucian clicked his tongue, but then remained calm. He takes a deep breath and says, "Josef, you're being very closed-minded. I understand that the bad guys will still be able to get stronger, but the role of the government will be to prevent that from happening, so we pay taxes, yes?"

"Lucian, Lucian…" Josef put a hand to his forehead and closed his eyes. A few seconds later, he opened his eyes and looked at Lucian: "You have the same speech as before the apocalypse. Saying the harm it would have to Brazil if firearms were released to citizens with goods. But, you are underestimating the current reality that we live in."

"I am not." Lucian said with conviction: "My family and I have avoided using the use of this unknown power, and we will continue to do so. It's been months since all this happened, and I've come to realize that this unknown power is unnecessary!"

The interview continued. After realizing that no matter how much he said, Lucian would continue to insist on the same subject, Josef changed the subject

Luan, Lenore, and Nora arrived downtown.

The place was packed and full of life.

Luckily, there was plenty of space, or else it would be difficult to even walk around.

"We should find a hotel to stay at first," Nora said.

"Yes, but if it's all packed, we can still stay in the Leviathan," Luna replied.

"Accordingly." Lenore placed both hands behind her head.

If it were her alone, she would feel nervous and insecure. There were many powerful Qi in all directions. But with her parents at her side, she felt there was nothing to fear.

'This feeling... It's incredible.' A gleam passed through Lenore's eyes. She has felt very happy in the last few months since meeting her father.
