Chen Chuan looked at Assistant Ling's smiling face, waiting for him to continue.
Assistant Ling extended a hand, gesturing to his right.
Chen Chuan turned his head to look. There was a full glass curtain wall, through which he could see most of Central City. Due to the current lighting, he could also see the faint reflections of the two of them on the glass.
"Look outside. I truly enjoy admiring the entire city from here. It makes me feel as if I have it in my grasp. I'm sure many others feel the same. But I know it's just a false sense of satisfaction, a trick of the mind.
"It's only because this skyscraper beneath my feet holds me up that I feel I can look down on everything. But when I walk out of here and stand on the ground below, I can only look up at it all. I can only see a small part, and the shadows they cast are enough to swallow me whole."
Assistant Ling said with a hint of mockery, "Power that isn't your own is no power at all."
