Ian: "I Fear Nothing!"
On the television screen.
The aerial view of the ground reveals ruins and devastation.
"Well..."
In front of the TV, Ian put down his snacks. Although he didn't see any bloody scenes, just seeing the messy scene made him feel miserable after a little thought.
Suddenly... the food in my hands didn't seem so delicious anymore.
"Ian, what's wrong?"
Nearby, some sat cross-legged, some sat on chairs, and some lay sprawled out. Uvogin, Nobunaga, and the others who were gathered around noticed that Ian seemed to be in a low mood and asked him in confusion.
"N-nothing..."
Ian shook his head, forcing a smile.
He didn't want his personal emotions to affect everyone.
So I picked up a cup of Momo Duck ice cream balls that had been air-shipped from the Kakin Empire, hoping to use the dessert to ease my bad mood.
Machi and Mina are usually the two girls who love this dessert the most.
Previously, Ian could only use his ability to feed them through the [Tasting Spoon].
Now...
Having money... means being able to do whatever you want...
Direct air freight!
As for the taste, there isn't much difference. The only difference is that the feeling of throwing money around is especially satisfying...
Unfortunately, even desserts couldn't dispel the gloom in my heart.
Ian knew perfectly well that he had no connection whatsoever with the group of people from the Republic of the Congo on television whom he had never met and had no dealings with.
So... he doesn't need to be sad about it.
Whether in his past life or now, countless people have died because of war; he cannot possibly save them all.
Even if... he saved the person in front of him!
Those who died in the war in the past?
Those who will die in war in the future?
How so?
Can he save them all? Ian isn't a god or a saint; he can't protect everyone!
He does not admire the law.
Law is merely a tool used by rulers to maintain stability...
However, Ian upholds a simple moral philosophy!
Even so, he can only put his ideas into practice within this small area of Ejin City for now.
Even...
Knowing full well that there are many bizarre and perverse people in this world, monsters in human skin who defy humanity, he cannot punish them or kill them all.
Didn't the gangs in Yorknew City commit any crimes?
But they still exist, and Ian didn't go to punish them...
Because this land cannot eradicate the root of evil, which stems from the fundamental logic of human nature that cannot be defied.
The existence of humankind is inherently not a matter of black and white.
This is also a tragedy.
Ian knew everything, and understood everything.
But upon seeing the devastated ruins, I couldn't help but feel sorrow for the dead.
Among the dead in that city, there may have been good and bad people, but most were just ordinary people, swept up by an unjust fate, and ultimately died tragically there.
If you can focus wholeheartedly after weighing the pros and cons, then you can achieve your goal.
That way, Ian wouldn't have been born into this world after a car accident while saving a girl...
Ian's thoughts seemed to be pulled back to the moment he was in the car accident.
Time seemed to slow down...
If you were to ask him if he regretted his decision at the time...
So the answer is definitely... no regrets!
He felt incredibly fortunate to have been born into this world and given a second life.
"Ian... what's wrong?"
Meanwhile, inside the room, Uvogin and the others surrounded Ian Uvogin waved his hand in front of Ian's eyes, but seeing that Ian didn't seem to react, he became somewhat worried.
Machi, standing nearby, gently tugged at Uvogin, signaling him to calm down.
Ian quickly came to his senses.
Seeing the concerned crowd watching him, the gloom between his brows gradually dissipated, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"It's nothing, don't worry about me. I've just figured out a few things!"
Yes...
He's thought it through.
Now that God has given him a second life and the ability of the "4D Pocket" system, what else does he have to worry about!
Heaven is on his side!
In this life, all he needs to do is follow his own desires!
After all... he's a man with Doraemon's powers!
Hesitation, indecision, and all that... get the hell out of here!
At this moment, Ian's eyes hardened, and he carefully glanced at Uvogin and the others before speaking.
"I'm going to stop those two sides. What they're doing is outrageous. I don't care how they fight, but... I can't stand by and watch innocent people suffer such heavy casualties!"
Hearing Ian's words.
Uvogin and the others breathed a sigh of relief, giving him a disgruntled look.
"I thought you were going to say something else, Ian. If you want to go, just go. What, are you worried we'll desert and stay far away from you?" Uvogin said indignantly.
"Really... you've really given me a fright, Ian. I knew this would happen if you thought about it. If you're willing to do it, then do it. Even if we start a war with V5 right now, we have nothing to say!" Nobunaga shook his head and raised an eyebrow as he spoke.
"I thought you'd say something like that, Ian... How boring. If you want to do it, just do it. Why did you look so worried just now..." Feitan offered Ian some rare words of comfort.
"Hmm... perhaps Ian, you're being too concerned about what we think."
"Are you saddened by the sight of those dead civilians? I don't understand, but if you want to stop all of this, let's go together. We're one now."
Chrollo looked at Ian carefully and spoke calmly.
Tsubone, standing to the side, looked at the group of talented little devils in front of him with some surprise, then his eyes softened.
No wonder... their relationship is so good.
Such tacit understanding, such a bond... it's truly enviable youthful vitality...
Illumi stared blankly at the scene unfolding before him, his face expressionless, but for the first time, a look of envy appeared in his eyes.
He knew he didn't belong to the other side.
Therefore... I don't have any other ideas.
He remained very low-profile even when he was with Ian and the others.
However, he genuinely enjoyed being with everyone here.
It's unclear whether it's because these teenagers are all of similar talent to him, or perhaps he's yearning for something...
But at this moment.
He felt a surge in his throat, as if he wanted to say something, but it got stuck in his throat.
A look of melancholy appeared in Illumi's eyes.
He also wanted to say that he hoped to stand together with everyone, but felt he was not qualified to make such a statement.
But at that moment...
A small hand gripped his arm tightly beside him, startling Illumi.
"My brother Illumi and I also support my brother Ian!"
The voice echoed in the room, attracting the attention of Uvogin and the others.
Sitting in the center seat, surrounded by Uvogin and the others, Ian also cast his gaze towards Milluki, who was speaking excitedly and loudly, and Illumi seemed somewhat at a loss.
Uvogin Milluki, and teased him.
"Milluki, you little brat, do you even know what Ian is going to do, yet you dare to spout such nonsense!"
Milluki curled his lip and said.
"It's just dealing with that monster and those soldiers, what don't I understand!"
Feitan, standing to the side, let out a cold laugh.
"You stupid brat, that's not just stopping one side from the other, that's going against the world. Do you even know what it means to stand on that battlefield?"
"If V5's influence comes into their sights, even the Zoldyck Family clan won't be able to protect you. Have you thought this through, kid?"
Upon hearing Feitan's words, Milluki puffed out his chest and said confidently.
"It's alright, my family can't protect me, but I have my brother Ian!"
After saying that, he grinned at Ian and said in a cute way.
"Right, Brother Ian!"
Ian smiled wryly, nodded, and said earnestly.
"Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you..."
