Cerro came over and looked at John with a somewhat complicated expression.

John fell to the ground, his face pale. Is it time to die?

Bang, bang bang.

The black-robed Death God also staggered down from upstairs.

"Come give me a lift?"

John turned his head, looked at the black-robed God of Death, and chuckled.

When he was about to die, he didn't have much fear, he was just... full of ambition and unable to realize it.

"right."

The hoarse voice of the black-robed Death God sounded coldly.

"John, am I really not as good as Marcus?"

Serro spoke.

"Not as good as."

John looked at Zero and said.

"What's worse?"

Serro frowned.

"You're not cruel enough."

John said slowly.

"If you want to be in power, how can you be kind to a woman? You failed to seize the two opportunities, so I was disappointed with you and switched to Marcus."

"Besides this?"

Serro asked again.

"In the past year, you have actually performed well and have ambitions...but in the end it is too late."

John looked at Serro and said in a deep voice.

"Among the top ten [Sons of Darkness], your supporters are not the least, but they are not the most either... But Marcus is different. From the beginning to the end, he has been the most popular and famous one."

"Oh, is that just because of this?"

Suddenly, Serro smiled.

When John saw Serlo smiling, he was stunned for a moment and nodded subconsciously.

"You think I'm not ruthless enough, that I'm not as well-known as him, and that I don't have as many supporters as him, so you switched to him, right? Just like what you just said, 'People choose wise rulers and serve as ministers, and birds choose good trees to roost in.'

Right?"

Zero looked at John and asked with a smile.

"right……"

John had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"John, you are one of the people I trust most. I thought you would understand me, but now I find that you don't understand me."

Serro shook his head.

"You said I didn't have ambition before, but now I... dare to be ambitious?"

Hearing Cero's words, John was startled.

"Among the top ten [Sons of Darkness], I can be said to have the weakest backer. My mother's side is just a small family. How can it compare with Marcus? His mother and the backers behind her are in the Dark Holy See.

They are all one of the strongest.”

Serro said slowly.

"If I had ambitions, I might have died long ago, wouldn't I?"

John's eyes narrowed and he looked at Serro without saying a word.

Xiao Chen also glanced at Serlo. Did everyone ignore him?

At the same time, he also vaguely understood what was going on. The battle between the [Son of Darkness] was also a battle between all forces.

Even the sons of the Dark Pope are equally strong and weak.

In addition to their own strength, more support comes from their mothers.

If their mother's family is very powerful, then it will naturally be strong.

Isn't this also the case when princes in ancient times competed for the throne?

The father-in-law and the uncle-in-law take turns to fight, all wanting their nephew to be the emperor, so that they will be very awesome.

Princes whose mothers have no background often have to rely on themselves.

The Dark Holy See should be the same.

Serro's mother came from a small family. They wanted to help, but they couldn't.

Serro wanted to borrow power, but he couldn't.

Therefore, he kept a low profile and did not dare to show his ambition, otherwise he would be killed.

"The same is true for the two opportunities you mentioned. If I had done what you thought, I might be dead now."

Serro continued.

"You have studied China quite a lot and know that 'people choose wise rulers and serve as ministers, and birds choose good trees to roost in.' Have you ever heard of another saying?"

"What?"

John asked subconsciously.

"A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

Zero looked at John and said slowly.

"hehe."

Xiao Chen next to him smiled.

"Also called 'shooting the first bird'."

"A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind..."

John repeated, his face getting paler.

Not only John, but Marcus next to him also stared at Cero with wide eyes...Cero at this moment seemed very strange to him.

Serro seemed to notice his gaze and turned to look at him: "My brother, tell me, am I right?"

"You...you've been pretending?"

Marcus couldn't help but ask.

"This is not disguise, but protecting yourself."

Serro shook his head.

"I admit that you are better than me, but I don't admit... that you are better than me."

"What about tonight?"

Marcus gritted his teeth. He had always had a sense of superiority, but now, what was going on?

"tonight……"

Zero smiled bitterly.

"Tonight is really an accident. I never thought that John would betray me... I didn't expect that after years of being careful and walking on thin ice, I almost fell into trouble!"

Xiao Chen can also understand the situation tonight.

If it were him, he would probably be in trouble.

Who would have thought that the person you trust the most would betray you?

Take Xiaobai for example, if you tell him where to go, he won't think much about it.

At that time, if there is an ambush, even with his strength, he may be trapped.

"Fortunately... Xiao Chen, my friend, he has not given up on me. He cherishes our friendship."

Serro looked at Xiao Chen and said movedly.

"Stop, stop, stop..."

Xiao Chen couldn't stand this. Why did he feel that Serlo's eyes were so "affectionate"?

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me quickly, how to deal with them? Oh, there is a beautiful girl Alice over there..."

"How to deal with..."

Zero looked at John, who looked pale.
