Chapter 53 Neighbors Go Crazy Begging Steven
Grace immediately said, "I can assure everyone that these videos were all recently filmed."
"Steven's home was stocked with all kinds of supplies, whether it's food or fuel. So he's living a life like heaven right now!"
Ivy also spoke up, "Yes, I can attest to that! When he went shopping at the supermarket, I was the one who helped him."
"He bought a lot of things later on, don't you all remember?"
Ivy's words triggered memories in many people.
"That's right, Steven's home was full of all sorts of vehicles back then. I had no idea what he was up to."
"Could it be that he knew in advance about the snow disaster? That would be so shameless! He didn't even bother to inform the rest of us."
"Steven is simply inhuman! How could he do such unethical things?"
"We've been neighbors, living together for many years, and he's so selfish!"
Everyone was indignant, blaming all their current suffering on Steven.
But they didn't consider, even if Steven had told them that doomsday was coming, would they have believed him?
Of course, they didn't consider that. They just felt that Steven owed them.
Someone immediately said, "Steven must take responsibility for this!"
"Yes, why should we all suffer while he lives a good life alone?"
"He has so much food, drink, medicine, and energy at home, he must share with all of us."
"We are suffering, and he must bear the main responsibility!"
All the neighbors were very jealous.
They couldn't bear this situation.
If everyone was suffering greatly, it would be one thing.
But why should we suffer greatly while you enjoy yourself alone?
No, if we're going down, we're going down together!
Andrew and others also saw the videos in the group.
Andrew's eyes reddened instantly.
"Steven, damn, you're living so comfortably!"
Because of Steven, one of Andrew's legs was already disabled.
So, in the whole building, the person he hated the most was actually Steven.
The reason he didn't continue to act later on was, firstly, Steven's home was difficult to breach, he had failed before, so unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't lay a hand on Steven; secondly, he had no idea that Steven's home had so many resources!
Otherwise, even if it meant risking his life, he would have continued to attack Steven's home.
The chat record in the group instantly exceeded a hundred.
Many people started mentioning Steven, demanding an explanation from him.
"@Steven Steven, now we are all suffering so much, on the verge of freezing and starving. You have so much food at home, and fuel to burn in the fireplace. Share some with us!"
"Yes, we will remember your kindness. Hope you can tell right from wrong."
"Steven, we've been old neighbors for many years, you can't just stand by and watch us die!"
"Steven, I'm Bailey Johnson from your 20th floor, I even lent you two spring onions before. With our good relationship, you should share some supplies with us!"
"Mr. Rogers, I'm Caleb Harris, we're like brothers! Let me come live in your house, with the current situation being so dangerous, I'll come over to protect you."
They resorted to moral coercion, pleading, reasoning with him...
All kinds of people came, but they all had one central idea—they wanted Steven to share all the supplies in his home with them.
The messages kept popping up, and Steven naturally saw them.
Everyone in the group was asking him to share supplies, but Steven just watched coldly without rushing to say anything.
He wanted to see how far these people could go in their ugliness.
Clara ordered, "Steven, I'm the neighborhood committee director of our community! (She promoted herself, which was ridiculous) And I'm also the elder of this building. I call the shots, bring your supplies over, and I'll distribute them to everyone!"
Cara stated, "Steven, my baby and I are about to starve. You once praised how cute our baby is, right? Save us! I can let the child call you daddy. Even... you can make other requests."
Rich second-generation Frank also appeared, negotiating, "Steven, as long as you let me stay in your house, I can give you all my assets! No, my dad has passed away, our family's assets of over ten billion dollars are all yours!"
After reading the drama for a while, Steven slowly typed out a word.
[Really?]
With just one word, he immediately stirred up more excitement among everyone.
The reasonable continued to reason, and those seeking charity continued to plead with him.
After a long time, Steven casually asked, "Am I really close to you guys? Why should I share our family's things with you?"
At this point, everyone was on the brink of despair.
In fact, reasoning with them was completely pointless.
As long as they could survive, they were willing to abandon all human moral boundaries.
Steven was well aware that he had no intention of reasoning with these people.
He was simply playing!
His gaze was somewhat wicked, and at this moment, the frantic neighbors made him think of a scene in his past life.
Once, out of kindness, he opened the door to his home.
Then, these neighbors rushed into his house and struck him with an axe.
And even before he died, they couldn't wait to dismember him and eat him!
He wanted revenge!
So he wanted to play with these pitiful yet despicable bugs to his heart's content!
Someone in the group immediately got anxious.
"Steven, are you speaking like a human being? We've been old neighbors for so many years, isn't it normal to help each other?"
"What's the point of you living alone? Young people should not just think about their own comfort, you should understand the value of sacrifice!"
"If you hadn't kept the information secret, hoarding supplies in secret, how could we have ended up like this?"
"Yes, we are all suffering so much now, and it's all your fault, you must atone for it!"
Steven voiced, "Is that so?"
"And then?"
Below was a large group of people begging, threatening, and cursing.
They were like passengers on a sinking ship in the ocean, falling into the bone-chilling waters of the Arctic Ocean, with sharks circling around.
But at this moment, they discovered a small fishing boat nearby.
The people on the boat were eating delicious food, singing songs, and leisurely passing by them.
So they swam desperately to the boat, hoping the boatman would pull them aboard.
The closer they were to the edge of despair and hope, the more easily their mentality would collapse, and their ugliness would become more ferocious.
Steven watched their twisted expressions, smiling as he took out a bottle of Australian Yellow Kangaroo Tail from the extradimensional space's temperature-controlled wine cabinet, along with a top-grade French foie gras.
Red wine paired with foie gras was a perfect match.
When the bitterness of the foie gras mixed with the astringency of the red wine, the taste became even better.
This allowed even those not accustomed to the taste of red wine from the Astralium Kingdom to enjoy its deliciousness.
Steven ate the foie gras, drank the red wine, and watched the spectacular performance of the neighbors.
Some sent him private messages, and some called him on voice calls.
Steven opened each one with interest.
Cara begged, "Steven, please save me and my baby! As long as you let me move into your house, you can do anything you want to me."
College student Lara Martinez joined the chat, "Honey, I'm still young, I don't want to die. I'm willing to offer my body! Just give me some food."
Many female residents sent private messages, and many of them were married.
They understood the current situation very well and knew that money couldn't sway Steven at all.
So, without any coordination, they all proposed offering their bodies in exchange for Steven's protection, at the very least, to get some food.
