Chapter 226 (2/2)
If anyone who was familiar with Aleister were here, they would no doubt be slackjawed from hearing what he said. Wu Yan recognized the meaning behind what he said. The guy wouldn't give up his plan even if death right in front of him.
He's saying that he plans to go down with him. Gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth, Wu Yan wished he could just get of the bowstring and let loose the nocked arrow. But, he couldn't muster up the resolve.
He hadn't expected Aleister to be so h.e.l.lbent on completing his plan despite the looming threat of death.
If Academy City lost Aleister, it would no doubt be attacked by the magic faction in no time at all.
Aleister is the lynchpin holding Academy City together. If he were to die then Academy City can kiss its a.s.s goodbye.
At that point, Mikoto, Kuroko, Ruiko, Uiharu, Uiharu and the others…
He could somehow figure out how to get them to leave this world with him but to watch Academy City with its 2.3million inhabitants, roughly 80% of which are students or kids be embroiled in something he did is a feat he cannot stomach.
He recalled what Tsuchimikado Motoharu had said about not escalating matters with Aleister…
But the sisters…
He suddenly had a bright idea.
Aleister didn't want the sisters themselves, he just wants the network of AIM dispersion field that suffuses Academy City, and probably wants to expand it globally.
If he can achieve that then there would be no conflicts of interest between the two of them.
A tool to enable AIM dispersion field to cover the whole world is something that the System's Item interface can provide.
Virtual field amplifier: A tool exclusively used for virtual fields. Can infinitely expand virtual fields according to factor demand. Cost: 100,000 Item points
Wu Yan released a sigh of relief when he found the item he was looking for. He put down Meteor Shower and the silver arrow along with the light show of starlight disappeared.
Seeing as Wu Yan put down his weapon, Aleister blinked at the thought of Wu Yan stepping back.
Is he going to compromise?
”Aleister…”
Wu Yan growled at him.
”If you want me to give up the sisters, you can dream on…”
Aleister would be surprised if Wu Yan suddenly handed over the sisters after putting on such a tough front. He must be proposing an alternative…
Wu Yan glanced at Aleister and the golden figure floating behind before continuing in a plain tone.
”Your objective is to expand the AIM dispersion field in Academy City to the whole world right? I have a plan!”
Wu Yan could feel that the moment he said it out loud, Aleister's mood changed but he lacked the apt expression on his face. Wu Yan couldn't help but admire how stoic the guy is.
Aleister focused his gaze on Wu Yan. With a flip of the hand, Wu Yan stored away Meteor Shower, his golden eyes turned back into its usual wine-red eyes. They stared at each other for a while in silence.
Finally, Aleister spoke first.
”If what you say is true…”
Wu Yan grinned because this meant that he got what he wanted again.
After a bit of time pa.s.sed, Musujime Awaki appeared and fearfully looked at Aleister before she guided Wu Yan out in a more terrified manner.
When Wu Yan left, that place fell into silence once more. The figure looked at the Virtual Field Amplifier before mumbling…
”Unknown pressure, fear-inspiring weapon and fascinating gadgets, what are you, really?…”
