When Hunter said "you've blocked too many people's way," Gao Guang knew it was over.
This was a zero-sum game; it was either kill or be killed, with no compromise, no surrendering halfway, and no possibility of everyone working together to get rich.
Looking through the appearance to the essence, this is a zero-sum game, and the most notable feature of a zero-sum game is the winner takes all.
Gao Guang himself didn't know why he could so quickly and firmly believe this was a zero-sum game, but one thing he knew for sure: in a zero-sum game, one side's gain is the other's loss, the gains and losses of both parties always add up to zero, hence there was never any possibility of cooperation in a zero-sum game.
There was only victory or defeat, with no third option.
