Chapter 1345: I Don't Understand?
Julia didn't know what to do. These ministers were meeting at the same time, and she couldn't completely disregard their opinions, but she also couldn't ignore Wang Dadong.
The opposition had said, if they don't hold the abdication ceremony tomorrow, they would directly detonate the bomb to kill Wang Dadong and Mila.
One side is the whole country, and the other side is her benefactor. Julia was really helpless.
She cannot let down her people, nor can she let down her benefactor.
Indeed, for Wang Dadong, she could give up the throne, but after all, it's the throne, which is related to the fate and future of the entire Lesotho.
If it were another uncle, Julia wouldn't be so troubled.
Sideng uses any means to achieve his goals. If he ascends to the throne, to prevent anyone from coveting his throne, not only she might be in danger, but even her several uncles would be at risk.
Although there is no direct evidence now, various signs suggest that her father's death was very likely orchestrated by Sideng.
Even his biological brother could be harmed, what wouldn't he do?
"Can you all get up? Let me think it over again." Julia said in a somewhat troubled tone.
All the ministers of Lesotho knelt before her, causing her immense pressure.
"We won't get up unless Her Majesty agrees not to abdicate."
These people were resolute.
"Whatever you want!"
Julia was somewhat angry, storming back to her palace in a huff.
"Brother King Kong, what should I do? I really want to save Brother Dadong." Julia's expression was extremely sad.
"Julia, just do what you think is right." King Kong forced a smile and said.
He naturally wanted Julia to save Wang Dadong, but after all, it's about letting Julia give up the throne.
Ultimately, Julia's willingness to abdicate wasn't what's important; her ability to say those words was already commendable.
If it were him, he might not even be able to say the words of exchanging the throne for Wang Dadong's life.
Clearly, although he shared the camaraderie of comradeship with Wang Dadong, if ordered by Hao Wentao to stab Wang Dadong in the back, he would definitely do it.
Moreover, if saving Wang Dadong would harm his country's interests, his choice would also be the country's interests.
Because in the eyes of a Dragon Group Warrior, national interest is above all else!
Not to mention exchanging an entire country for one person's life?
In the underground facility.
"Brother Dong, this is all I could find." Xiao Chao had searched everywhere possible, finally finding only a few cans.
Now Wang Dadong knew the young man's name, Wang Chao, shared the same surname as himself.
This bit of food wouldn't last even a day for three people.
Wang Dadong said nothing, he had already anticipated such a result.
With his cultivation, going half a month without eating or drinking would at most render him extremely weak, but Xiao Chao and Mila would likely last no more than five or six days.
The crucial problem was the lack of water, which was a more severe issue.
Without food, human life limit is about seven days, but without water, it's only three days before one dies.
This situation was far more dire than the last time at sea.
If rescue doesn't arrive, not only Mila and Xiao Chao but even he would die here.
But for now, thinking too much wouldn't help; they could only take it one step at a time.
At this moment, Mila awoke from unconsciousness and realizing her veil was missing, her first thought was to use it to cover her face.
After all, it was a habit cultivated over the years that whenever there were outsiders, she would instinctively cover her face to prevent people from seeing her unsightly appearance.
She searched all around but didn't find the veil, only a piece of rag, which she then used to cover her face.
"Sister, you're so beautiful, why cover your face?" Xiao Chao asked somewhat puzzled.
Times were different now than in the past, back then women, like those noble ladies, would veil their faces. But now women couldn't wait to let the whole world see their beauty.
Like his sister, although she looked average, she would be vain all day, often asking him if she was pretty.
A woman as beautiful as Mila could easily become a star, so why wouldn't she want others to see her face?
"Am I, beautiful?" Mila showed a trace of self-deprecating expression. She was indeed very pretty before, but ever since cultivating the Sound Wave Technique, pretty had nothing to do with her anymore.
"Of course, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." Xiao Chao said earnestly.
"That simply means you haven't met women." Mila said faintly.
Though she survived this time, her brother was already dead, her only kin was gone, she scarcely had the desire to live, so it didn't matter where she was.
"Mila, you truly are beautiful now," Wang Dadong said as he tossed a broken piece of glass to Mila.
Mila hesitantly picked up the glass, uncovered the rag, and found that she was indeed beautiful.
The skin tone on the lower part of her face had completely matched the upper part, and her lips weren't swollen anymore but became cherry-like.
Mila started cultivating the Sound Wave Technique early, meaning she had ruined her appearance early on, and even she was seeing such beauty for the first time.
She couldn't help but touch her rosy cheeks with her hand.
"Ah... My brother is already dead, what good is it to become more beautiful..." After a long time, Mila discarded the glass with a sad face.
"Your brother is dead, but you are still alive. If he were still alive, do you think he'd want his sister to live well or to give up on herself?" Wang Dadong asked.
Mila smiled sadly, "You don't understand the pain of losing a close relative."
Wang Dadong smiled upon hearing, "I don't understand? You've only lost a brother, but do you know what I've lost? I've lost the person I loved the most, my mentor... I watched helplessly as one comrade after another fell beside me, blasted to pieces by bombs, riddled by machine gun fire... Do you say I don't understand?"
"But I still have to live well now, do you know why?" Tears faintly glimmered in Wang Dadong's eyes.
"Why?" Listening to Wang Dadong's account, Mila was somewhat amazed.
She hadn't expected this man to have gone through so much.
"Because when my mentor left, she told me I need to live well, live well to help her live her part also."
"If possible, I would willingly exchange my life for hers, but can I do it? No! Up until now, she is still being enslaved by the people of the God Forbidden Zone, treated as a tool of war..."
Wang Dadong's expression grew increasingly sorrowful.
A hand gently held his hand.
