Chapter 52 Absolute Freedom
On the other hand, a few minutes later, General Ryan's command vehicle was nearby.

Nearly eighty ninjas surrounded General Ryan and the remaining sixteen soldiers, staring at them coldly.

Facing the gazes of the ninjas, General Ryan gritted his teeth and pressed his hand on the red button on the side wall of the rear compartment.

“I don’t care who you are, if you dare to come one step closer, I will destroy everything here and leave you with nothing!
Come on, bastard, let’s see who dares to move again!
Damn it, I was actually discovered by you guys behind my back without knowing it, someone around me must have betrayed me!"

As he spoke, General Ryan was ready to press the explosion button at any time.

By then, everything, whether it was the command vehicle or the nearby half block, would be destroyed!

Even though he would lose his own life, he had already lost his beloved daughter. Would he be afraid of losing more?

On the side, listening to the general's words, the soldiers around couldn't help but look at each other.

Since someone betrayed the general, the betrayer should at least be alive, so one of them might be a traitor!
Looking at the soldiers looking at each other, General Ryan snorted unhappily. He knew very well what the soldiers were thinking.

“Don’t look at each other, guys. The person who betrayed me knows too many secrets. He can’t be one of you. He should at least be my political enemy or a competitor of Lex Group.

In short, everyone, if the situation cannot be controlled, then you will have to accompany this old guy like me to die together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, General Ryan's hand pressing the button moved violently, and he was about to take everyone with him to self-destruct!
at this time……

"and many more!"

A deep voice came from the ninja team.

The moment he heard this voice, General Ryan exhaled with difficulty.

Finally the opportunity to negotiate has arrived!

Just as General Ryan was watching, a man with robes decorated with silver threads walked out of the ninja team.

He came to the front of General Ryan and others, looked at them silently, and then bowed to General Ryan.

When he straightened up again, he sighed.

"I never thought that in the American army, which I considered to be extremely corrupt, there would be a general like you who was so conscious.

But, General Sam Lane, when you realize this, do you think your daughter is ready to die for her country?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver-robed ninja raised his right hand, and immediately two ninjas carried the unconscious Louise Lane over.

Looking at his unconscious daughter, General Ryan's eyes widened, and even his breathing became heavier!

He swallowed hard, then raised his free hand and pointed at the silver-robed ninja.

"Let her go!"

"Okay, but we have to talk."

"How to talk!"

"One hand delivers the goods, the other hand delivers the goods."

"What kind of stuff!"

"General Ryan, I know very well that your command vehicle is connected to half of the US military network, and the vehicle is also connected to the Sky Eye system.

Besides that, I heard that you recently received a batch of toys from LexCorp.

Look, these are the only things I'm interested in. They are nothing compared to your daughter!"

"impossible."

Faced with the conditions proposed by the ninja, General Ryan shook his head very decisively.

“Even I’m not worth that, such conditions are simply nonsense.

Don't think I don't know what you want. Your target is Lex Group's cutting-edge equipment, right?

I haven't signed a contract with Lex Corporation on behalf of the military. If those equipment are lost, the only cost will be the postponement of the bidding agreement between us and Lex Corporation.

So, we can talk about equipment, but we will never hand over the Tianyan sub-network to you!

Believe me, even though I seemed to be in a desperate situation, the nearest missile device had already been aimed at my car.

What's more, I have already contacted the National Guard. They will arrive in less than five minutes. You should be worried about this too!" At this point, General Ryan looked up at the sky and sighed dejectedly.

For my daughter's sake, I am no longer a qualified general.

On the other side, after hearing the general's words, the silver-robed ninja thought for a moment, then frowned.

"The subnet is not possible, so what if we only need the association code?"

"No, that won't work. The eyes of heaven won't allow the slightest error. If you insist on doing this, then I will have to go to hell with my daughter!

Until then, I promise you all will go down with me!!!"

"OK!"

Seeing that General Ryan's voice was becoming increasingly hysterical, the silver-robed ninja swung his right hand, and the ninjas immediately rushed forward.

While handing Louise Lane over to the general's men, they quickly moved away a series of equipment from the Lex Group.

Looking at his daughter who was protected by his men, General Ryan let out a breath, then gently patted the side wall of the carriage and asked the silver-robed ninja.

“I have the trump card to take you with me to death, and you also have the opportunity to kill all the remaining us.

But I think, at this point in the deal, there is no need for us to fight to the death, what do you think? "

"We take money from others and help them get rid of disasters. We are just following the spirit of the contract. Please don't blame us, General."

The silver-robed ninja responded, then slowly retreated with his hands behind his back.

As he left, many ninjas jumped a few times and disappeared completely from General Ryan's sight through the shadows of various street corners.

Meanwhile, in the south of Smallwell Town, near Champs-Elysées Park.

Lei Xiaogu gritted his teeth and limped towards the woods.

Just as he was about to cross the park path, his blood-stained brow suddenly frowned!
He suddenly kicked with his left leg and jumped more than three meters away. The place where he just stopped was hit by a car wheel that suddenly fell from the sky, leaving a big hole!
Looking at the wheel hub that had sunk directly into the deep pit, Lei Xiaogu swallowed hard and stopped.

He turned around and jumped, standing straight with his intact left leg, and his broken right leg hanging at his side, looking coldly at Downton who was rushing towards him.

After making sure that Lei Xiaogu was not running away, Tang Dun shrugged his nose, then stopped five meters away from Lei Xiaogu, staring at Lei Xiaogu's broken leg with a smile.

"Old Deng, I have emphasized that you may win, but I will never lose. Are you sure now~"

After he finished speaking, Tang Dun folded his hands over his chest and looked at Lei Xiaogu teasingly.

Facing Donton's disdainful eyes, Lei Xiaogu took a deep breath and then spoke with a heavy look.

"I did make a mistake. I was deceived by your relatively slow improvement speed. I didn't expect... your comprehensive strength would actually increase exponentially!
It's such an amazing talent. It's a waste of talent for someone like you who doesn't respect strength!"

"But what the hell do you have the right to feel sad?"

Tang Dun interrupted Lei Xiaogu in a flash, then continued walking towards Lei Xiaogu.

As he walked, he continued with a sneer.

“When you strive for power and have great confidence in the power you have obtained, it is not you who rule your power, but you are being ruled by power!

I am completely different from you, Lei Xiaogu. I have never taken strength seriously. Strength is just the end of my talent. My real talent is not strength, but absolute freedom.

You may not be able to understand the meaning of absolute freedom, but you must know that the gift of absolute freedom can only be born from an absolutely free will and soul!
In my eyes, you are bound by power, purpose, honor, achievement and other things.

They tie you up, stimulate you, pull you forward, and give you back unparalleled excitement and satisfaction.

So the more satisfied you are, the less free you are, my friend!"

Having said that, Tang Dun shook his head, then suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Lei Xiaogu's neck.

Facing Donton's big hand, Lei Xiaogu thrust out his right hand, but when his sword-like sharp fingers pierced Donton's eyelids...

Gaba!

Donton just closed his eyes, but Lei Xiaogu's fingers and wrists were broken by Donton's eyelids!
