Sato Weimen stood among his companions, his expression emotionless.
However, his heart surged like the waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
Just a moment ago, he received a mission, a glorious task that required loyalty to certain ideals.
To kill a Chinese person!
He was just a five-star evolver, but he was an extremely special evolver. According to the leader, his profession was one that appeared once in a millennium; he could kill anyone on this planet.
Of course, the price was that he would also have to pay with his life.
But Sato Weimen didn’t care. In his heart, the honor of a samurai was far more important than life itself, the glory of his sect was more important than life, and the admiration of the leader was even more important than life.
He had always been using his own way to demonstrate this belief.
For instance, his hairstyle was the Tang-style.
In peacetime, not to mention his peers, even in all of Japan, there were very few people willing to keep such a hairstyle. But Sato Weimen didn’t care; he was determined to sport the iconic hairstyle from the Kamakura and Muromachi periods. He wanted to tell those who mocked or ridiculed him that he was the purest samurai, the most loyal samurai, upholding and promoting tradition.
Almost everyone loathed the arrival of the apocalypse, but Sato Weimen did not. On the contrary, he was extremely excited about the emergence of a new order because he saw the things he upheld were being revived.
The leader had risen, the sect had risen, and more and more people were joining this nearly extinct sect from peacetime. Sato Weimen also began to master powers he could not have imagined in peaceful times.
Under the guidance of the leader, he integrated the samurai spirit and techniques into evolution.
He had been waiting for a day when he would make a stunning debut.
And that day had finally arrived.
Sato Weimen and his leader witnessed the strength of the Chinese people.
He was passionate, and that was not wrong. He was confident, and that was not wrong either. He even shared a heartfelt contempt for that country across the sea, just like countless of his compatriots.
He knew that in the nearly hundred years of history, that country had been defeated by his homeland. Even though it later became victorious by relying on the strength of other countries, it could not hide their backwardness and poverty in modern times!
Even before the apocalypse began, that country’s economic output had already left his homeland behind. Yet Sato Weimen still looked down on the people from there.
Both were defeated parties in that world war; South Koreans could sacrifice their own interests for decades and refuse to buy Japanese cars, creating their own world-class enterprises, but the Chinese would not. They only cared about whether it suited their interests.
Sato Weimen understood that there were economic and political entanglements he could not comprehend, ideological differences causing camp opposition leading to technical blockages, and different national characteristics and worldviews among each country, etc. It was not as simple as he imagined, but it still could not stop his disdain for that country.
Moreover, numerous negative news about tourism, shopping, and culture further made him ignore that country and its people.
However, on one occasion, his insistence on the 'Way' finally moved the leader of the sect. After following the leader and coming into contact with deeper matters, Sato Weimen suddenly realized that the country he despised was slowly growing stronger in its own way, using the unique heritage and inclusivity passed down through thousands of years.
When he finally faced the reality, he discovered that there, they had become strong enough to ignore his homeland. If it weren't for the white patrons behind them, his homeland would have lost any qualification to challenge them.
Thus, Sato Weimen remembered that, aside from the last hundred years in the river of history, for hundreds and thousands of years before that, his ancestors had to kneel and pay tribute to the ancestors of that country!
