Chapter 809 - 388: Bouncing (Part 2)

Moreover, for the official Alliance, the actions of the Gu Family are not entirely disruptive; they actually bring benefits to them. In recent decades, the influence of aristocratic families has become increasingly powerful, with some audacious individuals even reaching into some secret realms, such as secret weapon research, arms factories, military academy training... These places are crucial to the operation of the Alliance!

And the Gu Family, by using such forceful methods to cleanly sever those dirty claws, brings benefits that outweigh the drawbacks for the Alliance!

Upon reflection, the Gu Family itself can be considered part of the aristocratic circle, yet they mercilessly wielded the knife against their fellow aristocratic partners. This scene, this feeling... is truly bittersweet! The outside world is filled with rumors, yet who truly understands the Gu Family’s hardships?

The old man Gu Molin expressed his struggles, somewhat admiring Su Jiameng, that woman, for single-handedly taking out several thorny targets! Jin Baorong of the Qian Family, Shangguan Ruiqi of the Shangguan Family, Lieutenant General Yun Cuixi of the Military Department, the Star Thief Leader of the Green Wolf Star Thief Alliance... Damn, such thorny targets, all taken out by her alone, it must be called a miracle!

Of course, among the nine people, these were relatively easier to deal with. The remaining ones, each with significant backgrounds, tormented the Gu Family miserably. If it weren’t for their solid foundation, they might have been counterattacked before even defeating their opponents.

Gu Ningxuan knew about all these matters, even how that young man’s father died. Precisely because he knew, he did not find their deaths regrettable, even considering their remaining bloodlines in the world a trouble!

Just like the young man in front of him, although he was unaware of his father’s "glorious past," his inherited bloodline leaned towards his mother, yet the violent factor originating from his genes constantly influenced him, turning his mind into that of a fool.

Gu Ningxuan has heard his second brother talk about the incident. The young man’s father was not directly killed by Gu Ningzhi, but he was indirectly dragged down by him. The young man’s revenge target was not wrong.

The man’s aftereffect occurred midway, delaying the best chance for rescue and counterattack on the Insect Race battlefield, and Gu Ningzhi did not take the opportunity to kill him; he simply secretly confiscated the medicine that suppressed the man’s aftereffects pain while leading the warriors in defense and rescue.

Without the medicine’s suppression, the man naturally showed his true form, neither human nor ghost, looking no better than the Insect Race. He even committed acts of attack and killing against innocent warriors. Had it not been for Gu Ningzhi noticing, things might have gotten even worse.

In the end, considering the emotions of the man’s Marshal father and to cover up the incident’s truth, Gu Ningzhi fabricated a lie, saying the man was bitten by a special Insect Race, accidentally getting infected and mutated, thus becoming like this.

However, this lie was only for the outside world. The true nature of the matter was known to that Marshal father.

Thinking about it, the Marshal seems pitiful; his wife was forcefully kidnapped when pregnant, missing for over a year. The Marshal never gave up, finally retrieving a clue to find both his wife and child, but the result was even more heartbreaking.

The retrieved wife was a skeleton, the son crying without care, miserably thin... As for why his wife was taken? Alas, the dark benefits struggle is always like this, the Marshal was negligent, allowing others to exploit his vulnerabilities.

This detail perhaps never came to Su Jiameng’s mind because, in her memories, laboratory babies were mostly test tube products, not birthed from pregnancies. But this child was an exception, surviving against the odds.

If not for the laboratory identifying the child’s father’s identity, seeing massive possibilities worth pursuing, he might never have returned to his biological father’s side.

However, upon returning, this child brought catastrophic disaster to his father and his father’s family.

Though he was also a victim, his actions victimized even more people! Undermining the core of the Human Alliance, even if the Gu Family sympathized with his plight, they would not show the slightest leniency. Between a self-destructive person and an Alliance to which the Gu Family is loyal, the weight of each side is clear.

In terms of pity, the Marshal indeed evokes the greatest sympathy. His beloved wife’s unjust death, his son treated as a test object, died early, what remains alive was merely a manipulated monster, and his family thrown into chaos. His loyalty to the Alliance also resulted in harm, his sole son dying so tragically, and eventually, he had to pay the price for the foolish deeds committed by his family and son, accepting the Alliance’s reckoning... Thinking about it, it feels tragic, truly a worldly tragedy.

Not mentioning that unfortunate Marshal, too many secrets and intrigues are involved in this matter. Even a prominent family like the Gu Family is stunned by it. Regardless, the youth’s father’s death relates to the Gu Family, Gu Ningxuan does not dispute this point.

However, he does not mind the young man seeking revenge, but he cannot tolerate him extending his reach towards his son!

A dragon has its reverse scale; touch it, and it shall rage!

Gu Ningxuan wishes he could lay his mind, heart, and lungs bare for his son, how could he possibly tolerate anyone harming even a hair on them? Let alone their lives being threatened! This practically forces him into an all-out fight!

With this thought, he coldly gazed at the young man looking unsatisfied, his expression indifferent, "If you wish to settle accounts, come to me, the doors are always open for you to seek revenge. But should you dare to harm my son, I will destroy your last refuge!"

Huaixi heard Gu Ningxuan’s firm voice, and suddenly, the remaining icy wall standing in his heart crumbled.
