Chapter 1155: But I Love Her

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yang laughed coldly. “Without people like you, the world would be one step closer to peace.”

Ryan remained unfazed, merely smiling. “You’re right. But I hope my country can achieve peace and stability like this, without war.”

“I love my country as much as you love yours. Although it is weak and barren, having endured war and destruction, I still cherish it.”

Gu Yang understood. Ryan desired world peace because, without war, his country would not disintegrate.

While she could empathize with his love for his homeland, she did not condone his actions.

“Peace is built on the strength of a nation. If you fall behind, you’ll be beaten down. Cathay was once ravaged by war, but our ancestors sacrificed themselves one after another to change the tides. I offer my blood to the Xuanyuan Emperor.”

Ryan, however, sought to use the blood of others. Sacrificing oneself is noble; sacrificing someone else is nothing but theft.

She confronted Ryan with a harsh truth. “But your country has long vanished from the world map. Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Whether you seek revenge or wish to restore your homeland, you shouldn’t have come to China.”

The calmness in Ryan’s eyes seemed to shatter. He shook his head, as if mumbling to himself but also speaking to Gu Yang. “It hasn’t disappeared. If everything started again, I would do my utmost to prevent that war–or to win it.”

Gu Yang understood.

This was the reason why Ryan wanted the light cone experiment to succeed!

It was really crazy.

No wonder he agreed to the crazy Physicist’s plan. He was crazy himself.

“What if it’s all for nothing?” Gu Yang asked.

Ryan said, “Even though he died nine times, he didn’t regret it.”

Gu Yang was silent.

Therefore, Ryan wasn’t sure if he could succeed.

However, even if there was only a slight possibility, he was willing to try.

Ryan only looked at her gently. “Even if you control them, you can’t hurt me. But with one command, I can blow the school building opposite to ruins.”

Gu Yang glanced at the teaching building and frowned as she negotiated with Ryan. “Get your men to leave and come out in front of me.”

Ryan replied, “I hold the cards. You have no right to negotiate.”

Gu Yang shot a glance at the Physicist beside him. “Really?”

The Physicist stepped closer to Gu Yang, wrapping a sharp golden thread around his neck, blood seeping from the wound. He removed the gold bracelet from his wrist and offered it to Gu Yang.

With just a flick of her fingers, the Physicist would take his own life with the golden thread. If he died, the light cone experiment would cease to exist.

Ryan clearly recognized the gravity of the situation. Despite having revived the Physicist, the other end of the golden wire remained in Gu Yang’s hands.

“We can’t evacuate everyone, but I can have them move the explosives into this building and show them to you,” Ryan conceded.

Evacuating everyone from the teaching building would mean surrendering his bargaining chip, making it easy for information to leak.

What Gu Yang wanted was to ensure the safety of the children in the orphanage.

She pressed on with the negotiations. “Also, let Director Liang leave. I can cooperate with your experiment.”

Ryan nodded.

Gu Yang glanced at Director Liang, whose expression was a mix of confusion and concern. This was her first experience witnessing a confrontation between Mutants.

“Director, you should go out first. Head to the teaching building and guard the children. Don’t worry; I’ll be fine,” Gu Yang reassured her.

Though reluctant to leave, Director Liang recognized that staying would only make her a burden to Gu Yang, especially after witnessing her abilities. If she could slip away from their sight, she might have the chance to call the police.
