The healing effects of the magic healing potion were very significant.
Although Shen He didn't understand why the stuff he drank would cause a layer of green light to appear on the surface of his body, the big dog did indeed regain its vitality in an instant.
Even the hair on the wound grew back.
"Good doggy, take us to our place." Jeanne gently patted the big dog's neck. "You've been there, and your master needs immediate treatment."
When Crystal first met them in the Arctic, Jeanne healed the big dog. Coupled with the saint's constitution, which was blessed by all things, Jeanne could also command the big dog to teleport.
Shen He and Jeanne took Crystal back to the virtual reality company's base and handed him over to Dr. Helen for treatment.
"Saiki, how are things on your end?" Shen He connected with Saiki Kusuo's communication.
"We caught the people who were pursuing us, and we didn't let them send out a distress signal."
Saiki Kusuo made short work of the Inhumans who came chasing after him.
"Alright, we've found the big dog, so the rest is simple," Shen He said in a low voice. "Jeanne and I will come over and join you. Let's see if we can get everything settled before sunset."
Garrett, and Maximus on the moon.
Shen He and Jeanne returned to where Saiki was.
After capturing the people, Saiki Kusuo and the others went back to Shiki. Steve also arrived with the agents at this time, taking away the Inhumans who had been persecuted by Hydra, while he himself stayed behind.
So in this place, including the twins, there were prisoners from three different places: Hydra, Attilan, and the Inhuman groups on Earth, all gathered together.
"Garrett has already been locked on by the satellite. Tony can't catch up, but he won't reach Tahiti for another three hours." Shen He quickly made a decision and looked at Black Bolt. "Blackagar Boltagon, have you decided how you're going to deal with your brother and those rebellious people of yours?"
Black Bolt was stumped by this question.
He was a king, but a momentary lapse led to him killing his own parents, which softened his character somewhat.
He had long known of Maximus's ambitions, but he ignored them because Maximus was his only blood relative.
"From Chaldea's perspective, Maximus is undoubtedly an enemy," Shen He noted Black Bolt's hesitation. "He has transformed his disappointment in his own lack of ability as an Inhuman into contempt for the humans of Earth. His extreme racial ideology, believing that the Inhumans should rule humanity, has become his obsession. This is no longer just an internal struggle within Attilan."
To leave an enemy alive when you could eliminate the villain with a single blow without worrying about any repercussions...
That was purely annoying.
So, while understanding Black Bolt's weakness towards his kin, Shen He still needed to clarify Chaldea's position.
"I understand," Black Bolt communicated with sign language. "But he has swayed many of the people. If the people believe he is more qualified to be king than I am, then force alone cannot be used. I must expose him before the people, and only then can I reclaim the throne without great sacrifice."
Even now, Black Bolt still believed that his people were merely misled by Maximus.
Just expose Maximus's lies to the people, and tell them about Earth's strength and the possibility of returning to a peaceful Earth. That alone would strip Maximus of his prestige.
"Black Bolt," Shen He said, emphasizing Black Bolt's name, "For a long time, Chaldea has observed everything from a third-party perspective, so we can see the essence of many things clearly. Do you really believe your people follow Maximus solely because they were deceived?"
The Inhuman kingdom of Attilan's system inherently harbored the seeds of revolution.
Everything about their people's status
was determined by their abilities after Terrigenesis. Those without abilities, unless they were members of the royal family, could only work as laborers on construction sites for the rest of their lives.
Maximus was a royal family member with no abilities.
In the hearts of those at the bottom, he was the savior.
"Why do you say that?" Black Bolt asked, gesturing.
Shen He didn't answer.
He looked at the prisoner in front of him and walked over, pushing a female Inhuman forward.
"Why don't you ask her why she chose to overthrow you? I'll translate your gestures."
Black Bolt looked at the subject before him, who was raising her head and staring directly at him. He recognized her, as her ability allowed her to sense people or events from a great distance, so she served as a royal seeker.
"Were you forced by Maximus to come and pursue me?" Black Bolt asked with gestures.
"Forced? No." The prisoner stared at her former king. "Before Terrigenesis, I always dreamed of becoming a doctor, but the emergence of this ability changed everything. Maximus cares enough about us; he only knows we desire a coup."
Black Bolt's movements paused, and he turned around anxiously, taking a few steps. But he returned, his gestures becoming quicker.
"The laws of Attilan do indeed have flaws, unable to take care of everyone, but everything we do is for the Inhumans. We have always strived to do our best."
"Effort?" The female captive sneered. "We haven't seen your effort, nor have we heard any voices seeking change. Do you know how many times I've seen you, seen our king? Eight times. Seven of those were after I became a member of the royal guard. Even becoming your subordinate couldn't change the fact that my parents would be forced to work themselves to death on a construction site!"
Black Bolt raised his hands, but had no idea what to say.
He ascended the throne after killing his parents, which led to a long period of self-isolation. Coupled with his inability to speak, he hadn't expressed his feelings to the people much at all.
"I think the problem is clear, isn't it?" Shen He waved for the captive to leave. "You are trying to change things, but your people don't know it. So, it's too late to say anything now. The only way to reduce bloodshed and casualties is to eliminate the biggest rebel, protect your people by force, and then tell them about the changes you want to make."
From Shen He's God's-eye view, Black Bolt was indeed a very unsuccessful king.
A king who abandoned the people's route, yet was unwilling to take the tyrant's path… who else would he be overthrown by?
Black Bolt was now very frustrated and sad.
A benevolent king who lost the people's hearts… there was nothing more ironic than that.
"Black Bolt."
Shen He gently patted Black Bolt's shoulder, his voice low. "If possible, Chaldea doesn't want to see war and sacrifice. We understand you, and so we are willing to be your allies. However, if the Inhumans wish to continue receiving Chaldea's friendship and assistance, Maximus must pay the price for his declaration and actions. This is our condition, and we hope you understand."
The relationship between factions can't be like two individuals who, with mutual affection, can wholeheartedly consider each other's interests.
Firm stances, untouchable bottom lines, and the exchange and binding of interests are the correct methods for establishing factional relationships.
