Chapter 2409
Steven was a person without any morality or virtue.
As for Cadfan, although he was alsc an unscrupulous person without any morality or virtue, at the very least, he would always scheme and plan carefully before taking action.
This kind of person would generally act like a benevolent person that was full of morality, but they would often be the dregs of society. However, the main point was that no one would be able to tell that they were the dregs of society. 4
Lord Schulz had been scheming throughout his lifetime, and he had done many vicious and wicked things in this life, but the only time that he had truly gotten caught was when his plan to deal with Rosalie had gotten completely exposed.
In most cases, Lord Schulz was very good at putting o n an act.
At this time, Lord Schulz already regarded Steven as his future successor. So, he earnestly said, "Steven, you have to understand the rules of survival and what you should or should not do in the upper-class society. In short, you have to do something with good reason and cause.”
"Do something with good reason and cause?" Steven hurriedly said, "Dad, can you explain things to me more specifically, then?" 5 Lord Schulz explained, "This means that you must have a good and reasonable explanation and cause for every action that you take."
"If we do not have any just or reasonable explanations when we come forward to create trouble and start a fight with the other party, this would mean that we are not behaving conventionally according to implicit social customs. A person without any sense of morality or justice will have to fend for himself, then."
"Just look at it. In a war between countries throughout the ages, even if the aggressor wants to invade a country, under any normal circumstances, they would have to come up with a justifiable reason for their actions.”
"Take the July 7th incident at the Lugou Bridge in Oskia as an example. The Japanese also came up with a lie saying that one of their soldiers was missing so that they could take advantage of that opportunity to start a war." 3
"We need a reason to start a war between countries, let alone amongst families.”
As he spoke, Lord Schulz had a cold expression orhis face as he said, ' fact, I have already wanted to take Helen's life.a long time ago! When J found odt that Helen was going 16 Aurous Hill, I was already secretly wishing that Helen's plane wou d crash and she would die onthe way to Aurous Hill. That way, ce could get rid of her and solve this problem once and for all"
"However, I could only think about it, but I could not d © anything about it at alll" 6
"That is because Helen was only going to Aurolrs Hill, and she was not doing anything that would ruin or cause any-damage to the Schulz family’s face and reputation. If her privatgyet were to crash just © becalise she was going to Aurous Hiff-as soon as news aboutthis incident gets out to the public, the Schulz family would be completely ruined!” 2
"So, if we wanted to take her life, we can only take action after she had done something that would cause substantial damage and harm to the reputation and image of the Schulz family!" 1
"Now, Helen actually went to Aurous
Hill to bid for an old mansion that
Curtis Wade @gsed to live in when she
is still married to your eldest brother.
Not only hat, she even offered to
pay a htge sum of money that was
multiple times higher than the”
market price of the mansiojust to
bay it. This has indeed affected and
caused great damage to the
reputation and image of the Schulz
family. At this time, we already have
a justifiable reason to kill her." 3
When Steven heard this, he had a look of enlightenment on his face as he said, "Dad, I understand what you mean now! What you've said today has certainly taught me a lot! I will follow by your side closely and learn more from you in order to polish myself up in the future!” 4 This was the first time that Steven had heard his father talking about this kind of strategy throughout his whole life.
In truth, Lord Schulz was a very scheming and calculative person, and he always had countless strategies and plans. What he had brought up today was just a very simple point and could not be considered a sophisticated strategy at all
However, since Steven was the second child, he had never had the opportunity to learn this kind of strategy in the past.
This kind of strategy was similar to the special art or techniques that kings in ancient times would only pass on to the crown prince who would inherit the right to rule the country in the future. The other princes would not be qualified to listen to or have the opportunity to learn these strategies at all. s
The reason why the king would be unwilling to teach his ruling methods and strategies to the other princes was because he would be afraid that the other princes would threaten the crown prince's safety in the future. 9
