Chapter 424 An Offer that Cannot Be Refused
Inside the mansion, Durandal sat alone in the study, thinking. The moment the camera was found, he knew that Yang Hui and Cruze would not come tonight. After watching the performance, he was completely silent, and a fire rose in his heart. Not only was his idea completely seen through, but he was also played a trick. Anyone would be angry.
"Huh~" Durandal took a deep breath and stabilized his personality. "I'll take the initiative to go. I can't let them wait for me all night in vain."
...
"Aren't you waiting for him to come?" Cruze saw Yang Hui walking straight to his room, stretching and yawning on the way. Isn't this going to sleep?
"Why wait? Isn't it good to have a comfortable sleep?"
"..."
Cruzet covered his face... no, he covered his mask, and then pulled Yang Hui to the living room.
"What are you doing?"
"He's coming."
"If he's coming, I won't sleep?"
"Wait."
"You just wait, why should I wait for him? He's not my old friend..."
Speaking, Yang Hui stood up and prepared to leave, but was pulled back to sit by Cruze.
"No, why should I attend your old friends' gathering? Do you know how long I haven't had a good sleep? I finally found an opportunity..."
"Knock knock."
"Come in."
"Yang Hui, Speaker Durandal is here to visit." Aslan walked into the house and reported.
"..." Yang Hui narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his head to look at Cruze, blaming, resentful, angry, hateful... everything, his plan to have a good sleep was ruined, "Please ask him to come."
"Yes."
Soon, Durandal came to the living room under the leadership of Aslan. Yang Hui gave Aslan a look, and Aslan understood, left the living room, and stood guard at the door with Canad Pars, not allowing anyone to disturb him.
"Sir, why are you disturbing my sweet dreams when you're not sleeping at night?" Yang Hui was sitting lazily on the sofa without any formal gestures at this time, and his tone towards Durandal was full of dissatisfaction and complaints.
"I'm really sorry, Sir Yang Hui, there is one thing that must be confirmed no matter what." When Durandal spoke, his eyes were always on Cruze. Although he was very confident in his guess, guesses were guesses after all, and the answer was too important to him.
Cruze looked at Yang Hui, and after seeing him nod, he took off the mask and faced Durandal with his true face.
"Long time no see, Gilbert."
"Lao! It's really you! You're still alive!" The guess was confirmed, and Durandal's indifference on his face finally couldn't be maintained, and he was extremely excited.
"Thanks to Yang Hui for showing mercy." Cruze smiled. In fact, at that time he knew that he had angered Yang Hui, and it was an unexpected result that the other party would let him go.
"Mr. Yang Hui? Thank you very much."
"No need to thank me, Durandal, he is worthy."
"...So you are working for Orb now?" Durandal asked Cruze.
"I am working for Yang Hui."
"I see, I understand."
Cruzet's answer made Durandal think that Cruze was only helping Yang Hui, not Orb, but Cruze's real intention was to help Yang Hui's team, because Orb would not be Yang Hui's final destination, and his and their destinations were not limited to one world.
This was also a small reminder from Cruze to his old friend, but he didn't know whether the other party received it or not, and he didn't care. Anyway, with Yang Hui's character, as long as the other party didn't make trouble to destroy the cooperative relationship, Durandal would know these secrets, it was just a matter of sooner or later.
"Your disease..."
"It's been cured."
"How is this possible!?" Durandal was shocked. He was the world's top geneticist, no one else. He had no way to deal with Cruze's mitochondrial shortage, and could only develop drugs to suppress his pain. He didn't believe that others could do it. "Could it be that Sir Yang Hui, you are also an outstanding genetic researcher?"
"Guess?" Yang Hui said to Durandal with a smile. This was a very interesting rhetorical question, aimed at teasing Durandal, and also to retaliate against him for not letting him sleep well.
"Please stop joking, Sir Yang Hui, you know this is very important to me!" Durandal was a proud man. He thought that his research on genes was unmatched, even the reborn Yulian Xiang, the father of the [Strongest Adjuster].
And now, the problem he had been unable to solve was solved by a person who had never heard of any achievements or deeds in genetic research. The blow to his pride and self-esteem can be imagined.
"Are you trying to gather intelligence? Mr. Speaker Durandal?" As Yang Hui's address to Durandal became more formal, the atmosphere among the three people became more subdued.
"... Sorry, I was abrupt." Durandal knew that he was too excited, and immediately calmed down. Although he cared about this issue, what Yang Hui knew and what achievements he had made were all personal privacy, and even because of his identity, they could be elevated to the level of state secrets, which was not something he could force to ask.
"So, do you plan to continue to implement your plan?" Cruze changed the subject and asked Durandal. He knew part of Durandal's plan, although it was incomplete, but with Cruze's understanding of Durandal, as long as he knew the goal, he could probably guess the process.
"Hehe." Durandal sneered and shook his head disappointedly, "With your assistance to Mr. Yang Hui, my plan has failed."
The two most important points in the game between the two sides are strength and intelligence. In terms of strength, ZAFT and Orb Army can be said to have their own advantages. The number of Orb Army cannot match ZAFT, but the quality exceeds ZAFT. One plus one minus, it is a 50-50 split.
But in terms of intelligence, Durandal is completely defeated. Cruze knows him too well. What he wants to do, in Cruze's eyes, there is no chance to hide. On the other hand, he doesn't know Yang Hui at all, his ultimate goal, his trump card...
Once he implements his plan, he will definitely be an enemy of Yang Hui. Durandal can't think of how to defeat Yang Hui and Cruze, the combination that restrains him tightly.
"Since it has failed, don't execute it. It won't succeed anyway." Yang Hui said.
"But I don't want to give up just like that, Mr. Yang Hui, I hate losing."
"But you've already lost, that's a fact, isn't it?" Yang Hui spread his hands. Not to mention that he had Cruze's help, even if he didn't, he knew what Durandal's ultimate goal was.
To be honest, Cruze and Durandal are good friends, and they have completely verified the truth that people are divided into groups.
Both of them are crazy. One of them started a war because he couldn't live anymore and wanted to drag the whole world to bury him, and the other one was angry for his beloved and wanted to put shackles on the whole world in order to be with his beloved.
"Who knows? Maybe I can still struggle?"
"Then how about I add a condition?" Yang Hui had a deep smile on his face, "If you agree, we will be partners, if you refuse, we will see the truth in the future."
"Oh? Interesting? I'd like to hear more about it."
"How about giving you the opportunity to have children with her?"
"What!?"
Durandal's actions were expected by Yang Hui and Cruze. This condition was a condition that he absolutely could not refuse.
