Zhou Mo Sen was very certain that Owen died for him.
In fact, Zhou Mo Sen always had a feeling that Owen was someone who understood him better.
And Owen, well, he often said:
"He should have died long ago."
Zhou Mo Sen understood what he meant by that.
It wasn't about death, but about having no direction.
This is also why, when Zhou Mo Sen initially said he wanted him to become a sharp sword,
Owen immediately agreed.
In fact, Owen had already lost direction at that time.
Direction in life.
Look at him.
What was he doing then?
Working as a basketball coach at a high school.
To know, that income was actually very meager.
Many don't believe it, but that's actually the fact.
The income of high school teachers in the United States, even Americans mock it.
Not to mention "Breaking Bad," this series became genuinely popular through Zhou Mo Sen's arrangement.
He earned a lot of money through it.
There are also many other film series, like the well-known "Hangover."
There, Cooper is a high school teacher who went to Las Vegas with his friends.
This guy directly embezzled the students' class fund.
If the income was high, it wouldn't come to this, right?
In fact, we Chinese find that movie pretty exaggerated, and the humor comes from the exaggeration.
But in reality, from an American perspective.
The film is very realistic, very, very close to reality.
The humor for Americans and Chinese is different.
Of course, when we see Tyson appear and that Tiger... we all laugh.
Back to Owen.
At that time, he wasn't just a teacher.
He was also bewitched by a cult.
Even though he had great power and extreme combat ability.
But... "First Blood," you've seen it, right?
Even Rambo, when he returned to his hometown, was also treated like a freak and bullied the same way.
This country is just like that.
This is how they treat heroes who have contributed to this country.
Just like... Batman.
Yes, not just veterans, not just merits.
Even Superheroes.
It's not just Batman, isn't Spider-Man the same?
Indeed, this country is the best at vilifying heroes.
The best at cruelly treating those who contribute.
And Owen, he wasn't even a veteran.
So, being seduced by a cult, it's really normal for him.
Or rather, this is just everyday life in the United States.
There are so many in this country, so many who have lost their goals.
Not to mention those who lost their jobs, or those who also lost their families, divorced from their wives.
Even many among the middle class, would willingly join in.
This is really not surprising.
Because the United States is essentially a religious country.
There's actually no concept of a cult here.
To put it precisely, as long as nothing major happens in the end, and is not officially defined in the end.
Then any religion is fine.
The First Amendment, after all.
So, any religion, in the eyes of Americans, is actually not much different from Catholicism and other religions.
And they all require money.
No difference.
But... though it's normal, this itself is an indication.
There are too many people in this country without direction.
Many people do not understand this point.
In fact, originally, it was a country made up of Puritans.
In the Puritan's definition, it's pretty clear.
Their sole purpose of living was to await the final judgment.
That's how it is.
Until a book appeared.
"Poor Charlie's Almanack."
This book... many people probably don't know it well, it's by a guy named Franklin.
Wasn't he the one who played with a kite to collect lightning?
Why is he regarded as the first literary genius in the United States and held in such high esteem?
Yes, because of this book.
Because this book at that time in America taught these Puritans what they should do.
Poor Charlie is actually composed of segments, indeed based on his life experiences, but it's full of adage-like phrases.
These sayings are to teach the reader... don't be broke, work hard, and make money.
In fact, Franklin mainly wrote just this one book, the rest is just the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
And just with this one book, he became a literary genius.
Thus, this United States, is actually inherently a country without direction.
Owen is not an isolated case; there are many Americans like him without direction.
Moreover, according to Owen himself, he actually considered himself quite lucky.
He met Zhou Mo Sen.
Although it may not be that noble, at least Zhou Mo Sen gave him a direction.
This allowed his life to undergo at least an interesting transformation.
Therefore, he willingly agreed.
And this time... he knew very well.
He couldn't return.
In fact, Owen had already told Zhou Mo Sen.
"My life should have ended long ago.
Everything now is a bonus.
This time, consider it as payback for you."
As he finished thinking about all these things.
Zhou Mo Sen's sadness also dissipated.
Of course, Zhou Mo Sen also knew McMahon committed suicide.
It should be said, McMahon's suicide was a necessary part of the entire plan.
In fact, this plan was drawn up by a few of them on the second floor of the Asian Supermarket, during a discussion together.
Simply put, the purpose was to cause an internal struggle between Guanhai and the Witch, further intensifying.
It was to push them to an endless fight.
