Chapter 973: 0571 Persuading to surrender

After picking up Fei Liya and throwing her onto the lawn between the two of them, Leon looked up at the rising sun, then fixed his gaze on the somewhat bewildered Prince Andrei.

"The person has been given to you, can that sun stop?"

"..."

"You won't be planning to go back on your word, will you?"

"..."

Although I didn't plan to go back on my word, but your reaction... why is it a bit different from what I thought?

Looking at Li Ang, who didn't hesitate for even a second and directly handed over Fei Liya, Prince Andre opened his mouth subconsciously, but finally didn't say anything.

What he really wanted to see was the helplessness and suffering Li Ang endured before making this choice, the despair and pain in his heart when making the choice, and the torture and regret suffered after making the choice, but...

Why can you be so decisive, motherf***er!

"The sun can't stop yet."

After glancing at Fei Liya on the ground who was also stunned, holding the guess that Li Ang might just be holding on, Prince Andre gritted his teeth:

"The condition I said just now was not for you to hand Fei Li

Accompanied by a shout of slight surprise, a sudden flash of light appeared behind Prince Andrei, revealing a huge clock face.

And as the shorter "hour hand" on the dial lit up, Leon's movements instantly slowed down by a full sixty times. The 【Silver Cutting Dagger】, which had almost been swung into a silver line, also revealed its true appearance as its speed dropped, and the startled green-eyed girl narrowly dodged it.

He actually made a move...

Looking at the small silver knife that would have surely sliced across Fei Liya's throat had he not intervened, Prince Andrei's expression could not help but turn gloomy.

"Why?"

After undoing the effect of the hour hand scepter, Prince Andrei questioned Leon, who still looked calm, in a deep voice:

"Do you believe so firmly that I would definitely step in to save her?"

"It's not that I think you would save her, but that you got it wrong from the very beginning."

After retrieving the 【Silver Cutting Dagger】, Leon, who also felt a sense of relief in his heart, replied with a somewhat strange expression:

"It's not that I believe you would step in to save her, but that the deal you proposed is about the same to me regardless of which one I choose... Actually, I'm a bit curious, why would you think that by threatening me to kill your own sister using the lives of your own citizens, you could make me suffer?"

"..."

Silenced by this question, Prince Andrei stared at Leon for a while, then slowly shook his head:

"No, you are still lying to me. I don't believe you are as relaxed as you appear. Someone like you must care..."

"No, you're not done yet, are you?"

After interrupting Prince Andrei, Leon said impatiently:

"You asked me to choose, and I have already chosen; you went back on your word saying you wanted a corpse, so I took action to give you a corpse; I've already cooperated with your madness to this extent, why are you still here dragging on with this nonsense?

How about this, I'm actually quite good at acting. If you really want to see me in pain, tormented, and breaking down in tears, shall I perform a scene for you right now?"

"..."

"No! You are just lying to me!"

After staring into Leon's eyes for a while, Prince Andrei took a deep breath and judged with certainty:

"You are saying all this just to enrage me, to make me choose to kill you to vent my anger!

And after killing you, I would have no reason to take action against others. Only by doing this can I save both Fei Liya and all the citizens of the Kingdom of Koroque from my hands!"

"..."

"Fine, whatever you say..."

Facing Prince Andrei's unreasonable pestering, Leon, who had become somewhat numb, asked back helplessly:

"Then if that's really what I intended, how do you plan to continue punishing me? By killing your only sister first, and then roasting all your citizens with the sun, just to make me suffer terribly?"

"..."

I do indeed have that intention, and things are indeed as you say, but why does it sound so strange when explained from your mouth!

Killing one's last relative, and then destroying the kingdom and citizens that should have belonged to oneself, just to make you suffer a little... This description alone sounds like the biggest clown of all clowns.

And what's even more clownish than this is that I can't even be sure if doing this will actually make him suffer.

If my judgment is wrong, and he doesn't have the intention of sacrificing his life to save everyone, but really doesn't care... then I'm afraid I'll be even more of a clown than a clown...

Through Leon's description, having absorbed a bit of normal human thinking and cleared up the logic, Prince Andrei, who was originally full of rage and prepared to abandon everything to take revenge on Leon, was completely stunned.

Don't act, clown.

Act, still the same clown.

Act but not understand, the clown of clowns.

His life seemed to have no second choice. After Leon finished saying those words, no matter what he did now, the final destination seemed to lead to the same inevitable conclusion.

Clown!

"To be honest, why don't you just give up?"

Seeing his bewilderment from Prince Andrei's distorted expression, Leon thought for a moment and tentatively advised:

"That painting of yours was cut by me, and those fake parents made from partial residual souls definitely can't be brought back, but I have some connections in the Dead World, and I know quite a few people there. Maybe I can let you meet your real parents who have passed away again."

Upon hearing Leon's words, Prince Andrei's eyes widened suddenly.

"You... what did you say?!"

"I'm saying, if you choose to surrender now, I might be able to let you meet your deceased parents again."

After recalling the intelligence regarding the Dead World, Leon began to explain:

"There is a building in the Dead World called the 【City of Regret】. The dead whose regrets and remorse from their lifetime are too intense to move forward will temporarily reside there until they resolve the regrets in their hearts or are forgotten by all the living.

Considering your family situation... um... the regrets and remorse in their hearts must be incredibly strong, and there are still many people who have met them who remember them, so they are likely staying in the 【City of Regret】 waiting for you to go down there."

After finishing the situation of the 【City of Regret】, Leon looked at the trembling Prince Andrei, walked over slowly, and extended his right hand toward him.

"Prince Andrei, as long as your conviction is strong enough to support you through the long 【Road of No Return】 and reach the front of the 【City of Regret】, it is possible to see your family one more time and apologize to them for your mistakes...

How about it, are you interested in my proposal?"
