Su Mo didn't expect that soone would cause trouble at the entrance just one day after opening.
He led the group to the corridor window and leaned out to look down.
He saw over a hundred people gathered at the entrance of the Edge Mansion, so holding anti-war signs, others holding the Purple Gold Flower symbolizing peace.
So were half-kneeling in silent mourning, while others were emotionally shouting:
"Boycott the atrocities of the Edge rcenary Corps! Sanction the butcher Su Mo!"
"Defend human rights, we demand Su Mo publicly repent! Apologize to the Muto family's deceased!"
"Oppose violence as a ans to end violence, Su Mo has no right to execute the Muto family!"
"The life of a thug is still a life!"
Su Mo figured it out; these people were here for Muto Dongying.
He didn't know if they were paid to protest, ate too much in their spare ti, or truly held so miraculous Saint-like moral view...
Anyway, this group was dissatisfied with his ans of rescuing the hostages at Xinghai Cinema, and ca to protest at the Edge Mansion.
Several rcenaries coming in and out of the mansion were stopped, so protesters gave them the finger, so cursed them, and quite a few kneeled on the ground crying hysterically, as if it was their family who died.
Dongdong couldn't stand it first: "A bunch of stupid dogs! Just wait, I'll go down and beat them all away!"
Su Mo shook his head: "No, these people just want to blow things up, grab attention and showboat. If you beat them, they'd be delighted."
Dongdong pouted: "Then what do we do?"
Su Mo calmly said: "Let them shout, no one will care. As long as they don't co into the mansion and smash things, there's no need to bother with them."
"Hmph, really annoying... hey!" Dongdong leaned out and spit her bubble gum towards the crowd, not knowing which lucky soul it would land on.
Just then, Chu Nanyi flirtatiously flipped his bangs and said, "Captain, let handle this."
In the ga "Dawn," Chu Nanyi is a codic character with many quirky antics, adding a lot of fun to Su Mo's journey in the ga.
Hearing that he wanted to handle this, Su Mo was actually curious: "How will you manage it?"
Chu Nanyi placed a finger to his lips, indicating secrecy, and said with a grin, "If I handle it well, can Sister Dong reward with a kiss?"
"Thud!" Dongdong kicked him again between his legs.
In pain, Chu Nanyi curled up into a ball, forcing a feeble smile: "Sister Dong... at least I resolved a crisis; shouldn't I get so reward..."
Dongdong calmly said: "Sure, my reward is that next ti, I'll kick you with only half the force."
"Alright, better than nothing, it's settled then." Chu Nanyi hobbled away, holding his legs.
...
Outside the Edge Mansion, several Edge rcenaries got annoyed by the noise and couldn't help but curse back a few tis.
This kind of protester wasn't afraid of argunts; their biggest fear was being ignored.
Hearing the response, they got even more excited, shouting their slogans louder, attracting many onlookers taking photos.
Soon, Chu Nanyi erged from the mansion, holding a cat borrowed from a companion.
He shouted loudly, "Stop arguing, stop arguing, if you have sothing to say, say it to !"
The leading protester looked at him and questioned, "Who are you? We want to see Su Mo!"
Soone else, picking bubble gum residue from their hair, cursed, "Was it you who spat the gum? Do you have any decency!"
"Ahem... the gum has nothing to do with ." Chu Nanyi cleared his throat and said slowly, "The captain is very busy, I am his spokesperson, you can say whatever you have to ."
The protesters, holding up their signs, shouted: "What right do you Edge people have to disregard life? The Muto family was innocent, a thug's life matters too!"
Chu Nanyi righteously proclaid, "Yes, a thug's life also matters, you're absolutely right!"
With that, he lifted the cat in his arms high into the air: "But is a cat's life not a life too?!"
The cat yawned and lazily looked at the protesters.
This totally unrelated statent left the protesters bewildered, and after a long while, soone finally asked, confused, "What does this have to do with cats?"
Chu Nanyi, full of emotion, said, "Don't you know, the Muto family has a tradition called 'human cutting.' To train their courage, they usually practice on small animals, and cats are their most common targets."
"You said a thug's life is a life, and you're right, but the Muto family had 39 people. If each of them killed a cat every day, in a year, 14,235 cats would die unfairly. Did you know this? You didn't! You don't care! You only care about yourselves!"
The leading protester yelled, "Don't change the topic! Killing people is killing people, and killing cats is killing cats, how can they be the sa?"
Chu Nanyi widened his eyes and declared, "How is it not the sa?! All creatures in the world are equal, human life is not more precious than cat life! A cat's life is also a life!"
So animal rights activists among the protesters nodded in agreent and said, "He's not wrong about that."
Other protesters were displeased, shouting back angrily: "Why compare animals to humans? Humans can create civilization and wealth, can cats do that? Killing ten thousand cats isn't as severe as killing one person!"
The animal rights activists imdiately got agitated, denouncing these companions: "Nonsense! Every small animal has self-awareness and complex cognitive abilities, they should enjoy the sa legal rights as humans!"
Chu Nanyi imdiately held the cat above his head and shouted loudly, "Exactly! How will this world turn without cats? Barely held together!"
Soon, the protesters, due to differing positions, started attacking each other and ended up in a shouting match:
"You animal protection people are really brainless! If you love animals so much, why not make them your ancestors!"
"People who don't understand animal protection have no empathy! If you empathize with those who harm animals, you're also potential violent offenders!"
