"Deceiving oneself?"
"That's right, just as Karen said earlier, people only rush to do what is recognized as "justice". In this way, even if they are on the side of evil, as long as they claim to be just, they can deceive themselves. They can deceive themselves into thinking they are on the side of justice. By doing so, people can gain the motivation to act and do what is considered just, even if it is false justice, even if there is no reason for it, as long as they create one. Although this is ultimately self-deception, it is unavoidable, after all... humans are creatures who cannot act without reason."
"I see, Roc-sama can actually see through this."
The young man sincerely admires Roc for his insight.
Although this may seem simple, in reality, it takes courage to realize this. It takes the courage to face falsehood, and most people cannot do it.
That's right, although it is simple, almost no one can do it because humans are timid and hypocritical beings.
And this is where the strength of their superior lies.
Even if no one dares to face it, their superior will not hesitate in the slightest. That is why he can stand at the pinnacle of humanity. Not only is he unmatched in terms of strength and intelligence, but his inner strength is also immensely powerful, leaving no gaps, like a god-like existence.
Speaking of which, the person opposite bursts into an excited laughter.
"As I said before, throughout history, no matter who they are, they all claim to be on the side of justice. But he actually calls himself 'evil', which is not something an ordinary person can do. After all, there have been no precedents before this, and there probably won't be any in the future. Karen, do you think he knows all of this?"
"In theory, if he knew, he wouldn't have taken such actions. Doing so would only make his situation more dangerous."
"That's right, that's right."
The man opposite agrees with the young man's words, but the young man suddenly hesitates.
"But..."
"But?"
"But, I'm afraid the probability of him not knowing is close to zero."
The young man expresses his doubts. Although it is just a guess, it is definitely not wrong.
"In other words, it's impossible for him to not know?"
"Even knowing all of this, he still took those actions. I really don't know why, Lord Roc."
"Even someone as shrewd as you saying this... Hahaha... truly an unpredictable person."
Speaking of which, the young man raises a question.
"May I ask, how did Lord Roc guess that their plan would fail?"
"In normal circumstances, this kind of result wouldn't happen."
Roc, the man named, answers.
"Then...?"
"The reason is simple, because that guy got involved."
"Just because of him alone?"
The young man still looks incredulous, after all, no matter who hears this, they wouldn't believe it. But even so, the young man doesn't question the words of his superior in the slightest.
"Yes, just because that guy got involved, the result took such an unexpected turn."
"The influence of one person is that great?"
"However, such a person does exist now, one who can influence a whole country."
Karen expressed her opinion on this.
"But these people are different from ordinary people. In this world, there are ten individuals known as S-Class, each with their own title."
"That's right, having their own title is a privilege reserved for S-Class individuals."
"But ultimately, they are not ordinary people, so it's not surprising even if they can influence a whole country."
"You're right, but let me ask you, Karen, what do you think that guy is? Do you think he's just an ordinary person?"
"......"
Karen pondered for a moment.
"He doesn't belong to the group of people we mentioned earlier, nor does he belong to ordinary people. Whether it's his extraordinary physical abilities or his terrifying insight and analytical skills, it's impossible to explain."
"That's right, just as you said, Karen, that guy is an existence beyond norms."
"Beyond norms?"
"After all, that guy can't be explained by common sense."
"That's true."
The young man admitted candidly, then seemed to think of something.
"Could this be why Roc-sama is so obsessed with him?"
He asked.
"I can only say that it's not completely accurate. After all... that person is far from being as simple as you think. If you try to evaluate him with your shallow common sense, it will only lead to humiliation and self-destruction."
"......"
The young man fell silent.
He never expected his boss to give such high praise to that man. It was the first time he heard his boss speak in such admiration of someone.
Although he had many doubts in his mind, the young man did not inquire further.
Instead.
"So, Roc-sama, shall we proceed with the original plan as scheduled?"
He asked for further instructions.
"Ah, it's an important step, after all."
"Yes, I will follow your orders."
Regarding this, the figure on the screen muttered jokingly to himself.
"It looks like another bloody storm is about to unfold."
