Chapter 1852 - Research (2) (2/2)
”The Sapientia killed them all.”
Groans of pain escaped their lips.
”Do you know what reason they had for killing them all?” Dyon shrugged. ”They simply felt that keeping their dirty dealings secret was worth more than the lives of your Clans.”
The man bitterly laughed. He already had a faint idea that this was what would happen. The only way to stop a wave of individuals from suddenly asking about abrupt disappearances was by rooting out those who had close connections with them.
With the help of the Sapientia's information network, not to mention the fact they had centers of power in practically every quadrant, it was a simple task for them to know the most risky targets and thus eliminate them to avoid future problems.
”And now what? You want to use our anger toward the Sapientia to say that we should fight for you? That we should unite and fight against a common enemy? That you'll be different?”
”Isn't that much obvious? What would you like to do? Spend the rest of your lives in a cage? Letting the lives sacrificed for the sake of your pride and stubbornness go to waste?”
”YOU!” The man roared. ”What do you know?! Do you think it's an easy decision to say no?! That it's easy to turn down more money than you couldn't spend in countless lifetimes when all you've known is a backwater Clan?! This is what having principles means!”
”Principles?” Dyon shook his head. ”Sorry, I don't bother with that word when it comes to lives of those I care about. Whatever is necessary, I'll do.
”You've heard tales of happened to my Celestial Deer Sect, but you have no real idea. Let alone your livelihoods, the lives of everyone on this mortal plane are in danger. Soon, there might not even be a place for us mere mortals in all of existence anymore.
”You don't want your inventions used in war? But somehow you're alright with your Clansmen, your wife, your parents, your children, dying due to your inaction? That isn't being principled, it's the height of naivete.”
The man clenched his fists and stared daggers at Dyon, but he didn't respond. Sometimes when two individuals stood on opposite sides of an aisle, so-called recourse was impossible.
”I can only say that if your research is useful to me, I'll use it.”
The man snorted, turning his head away. How could he know about their research if he didn't tell him? He wouldn't even bother speaking anymore. His whole demeanor said, 'just go ahead and kill me.'
Who would have known that Dyon would directly ignore him and say something he could have never expected in his wild dreams… Something that filled him with shock.
”Alright, Little Lyla.” Dyon rubbed his little sister's head. ”It's your turn to shine. You don't need to dig too deep, I just need a general summary of their fields. Will it be a problem?”
”No problem.” Little Lyla shook her head. ”Though it's a bit difficult to read dao experts sometimes, that only applies to those with powerful souls and true domains… They shouldn't be too difficult. If big brother uses his Presence, considering their weak bodies, there won't be any hiccups.”
