Chapter 184

…

After Ze Wu left, Huo Qi no longer had the mood to work.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the planet's stars slowly rose, and the entire sky was shrouded in orange-yellow morning glow.

Huo Qi put his hands in his pockets, standing straight in front of the window, his deep blue eyes looking at the distant sky through the lenses, slightly absent-minded.

Orange light shines into the office area. Because of the light, the man's shadow is stretched long on the wide and empty ground, silent and a little lonely.

Huo Qi knew the contents of the document better than anyone else. He had planned it himself, so he had naturally anticipated how public opinion would develop.

Huo Qi knew very well what Ze Wu was thinking since he repeatedly ignored his orders and tried to persuade him.

The method to cure gene collapse disorder is in their hands, which is like holding a winning trump card for them.

As long as it is announced through effective means and the public knows that it is absolutely true, it will inevitably be followed by countless people suffering from genetic collapse syndrome.

There is nothing more rewarding than finding the antidote of salvation in times of despair.

Once these patients, those with strong talents, recover, will inevitably become a steel knife in his hand, and even those who are weak will play a significant role.

Now the only thing he needed to do was to play this trump card properly, but at this moment... he just didn't want to play it.

Not only did he not want to fight anymore, he also wanted everyone to stop believing it.

Maybe Ze Wu and his men thought he was crazy. But...

"Tsk~" Huo Qi curled the corners of his mouth and sneered.

He also felt that he was probably crazy. He actually gave up the huge benefits that were so close to him and within his reach one day to carefully plan a game.

A game for just one person.

What does it have to do with him whether those who suffer from genetic collapse syndrome live or die?

She was the only one he had ever been after.

Born in this nest of the powerful, yet feeling strange and awkward, Huo Qi has learned to control his emotions since childhood. He clearly knows the difference between himself and the prince and the third brother. After his mother's tragic death, Huo Qi's eyes are filled with only struggle and power, without any warmth.

Those who are fighting in this vortex of power are all good at acting, and everyone wears an exquisite mask.

Smile in front of people and stab them in the back.

If you cannot stand at the pinnacle of power, you will always be struggling in this whirlpool, living in fear, and you don’t know when you will be silently drowned.

Just like my mother, she died quietly, and until now no one dares to mention her or hold a memorial service for her.

After accidentally contracting genetic collapse syndrome, Huo Qi felt that this was his fate every time he had an attack. It was the same for his mother and for him as well. After a brief period of brilliance, they would disappear like smoke.

But his mother accepted her fate, but he refused to do so. His stubbornness made him wait for the girl who broke his destiny.

It relieved his pain and he was finally cured thanks to her treatment.

She was his salvation, the light that brought him warmth, and he couldn't lose her. But now he had to share his warmth with everyone with his own hands, but no, he didn't want to.

Mu Jiao's appearance shattered his ambition to pursue power at all costs over the years.

It’s not that Huo Qi hadn’t struggled before. On the contrary, he had been struggling all these years.

He tried hard to return to his former self. After all, no one knew better than him how terrible the consequences of caring too much about someone would be.

In the past few years, he rarely returned to Chengtong Star, not because he was really too busy to have time, but because he was avoiding it.

If you stop paying attention to it and stop mentioning it, perhaps you will forget about this concern.

But the fact proves that not seeing each other makes me miss you even more.

No matter how hard I try to pretend that I don't care, when the night is quiet, I still worry about you and think about you day and night.

Over the years, they met several times. It was not until he gave up the benefits that almost helped him reach the top and carefully planned the current situation that Huo Qi knew that he had lost to his own heart, and lost completely.

Being rescued from one fate, one enters another. Fate is like this, between gains and losses, everything is unknown.
