Kaibou stepped forward, his eyes filled with hostility as he scanned the crowd, and he spoke with bitterness, "Before we officially begin the meeting, I have two things to say!"

"Among those present here, there are those people!" Kaibou pointed at the crowd, shouting loudly, "They should step forward, apologize for the deaths of over 2000 players in the past month, and hand over their items and equipment!"

"What do you mean by those people?" A black guy asked.

"Wait a moment," Diabel suddenly interjected, "Um, Mr. Kaibou, are those people you're referring to the beta testers?"

"That's right!" Kaibou nodded vigorously. "It's these guys who, with the information they got during beta testing, obtained resources far beyond those of us regular players, indirectly causing the deaths of over 2000 players."

"That's over 2000 lives lost because of these selfish bastards." Kaibou gritted his teeth, appearing as though he was genuinely concerned for the ordinary players. If it weren't for his true intentions already known, he might have fooled even more people with his acting skills. Arthur glanced at Argos, who was usually a bit scheming, but now she didn't rise to refute; instead, she clenched her fists and sat quietly.

"Argos, what's wrong? Are you angry hearing these remarks?" Arthur asked softly.

Argos looked at Arthur and shook her head. "Not angry per se, just really want to beat this guy up!"

As the two spoke, Arthur suddenly felt a tug on his sleeve from Argos, who whispered, "Hey, why are you doing this?" She seemed satisfied enough with someone speaking out, at least to prevent further deterioration of the beta testers' reputation, but Arthur surprised her by stepping forward when everything seemed to be over.

"Nothing, just find him annoying," Arthur said with a smile, but his voice didn't lower at all, so all the players present heard him. Kaibou, as the person involved, turned even paler, his face alternating between shades of green and white.

With a light tap, Arthur jumped into the air, landing in front of Kaibou.

"Why should beta testers apologize to those over 2000 dead players? Can I ask?" Arthur's voice sounded calm, as if this inquiry wasn't his own concern.

"Because they selfishly took most of the resources!" Kaibou angrily replied.

"Oh?" Arthur chuckled. "So according to you, beta testers must apologize?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Kaibou looked at Arthur askew.

"So, is this moral blackmail?" Arthur folded his arms, not bothering to look at Kaibou's unpleasant expression, and continued, "Why should those who have resources necessarily give some to others? In the real world, why don't you blame the wealthy for not sharing a portion of their wealth with you?"

"Well, uh..." Kaibou didn't know how to respond, sweat gradually appearing on his forehead.

"Moreover, the beta testers have already distributed the strategy guide free of charge, and some of the precautions even cost them their lives to obtain the information. In this case, what right do you have to question and blame those beta testers?" Arthur looked disdainfully at Kaibou.

"This is unfair!" The pressured Kaibou blurted out.

"Fair? Fair has never existed in this world! Since the birth of humanity, the word 'fair' has been ridiculous." Arthur looked down at Kaibou, who only reached his shoulder, with a contemptuous gaze. "People are selfish, some just selfish for the masses, and some for themselves. But in the end, who's really selfish? Think about it."

"Some are selfish for the masses, and some for themselves. Are you being too naive to use fairness to pressure those beta testers?"

"Moreover, aren't you one yourself?" Arthur looked at the now silent Kaibou with cold eyes and said icily.
