Chapter 2325 Promise
Lelouch's suppressed voice suddenly stopped, and a pair of eyes looked at Xiao Ran with a sharp look. The eyes were filled with a kind of chill. He lowered his hands and clenched them into fists unconsciously. His whole attitude and momentum suddenly changed dramatically.
Gritting his teeth, Lelouch said slowly in a cold voice, "What... what did you say?"
Xiao Ran also put away his smile at this time and said lightly, "I know that your sister is very important to you. With your character and wisdom, I can't completely trust you even if I cooperate with you. You are the kind of person who sacrifices everything to achieve his goals, and you are also a proud person, so in cooperation You may betray me and treat me as an abandoned child at any time, so in this cooperation we must have a guarantee that we can fully trust each other, and this guarantee is the sister you value most. At the same time, as an apology for my rude request, I will give you powerful strength and cure your sister."
"Don't you want your sister to be able to see, to have a healthy body, and to stand on the ground with her own legs? So you can treat this as another deal. I treat your sister, and you cooperate with me."
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he just looked at Lelouch without speaking, while Saki Maski stood beside Xiao Ran and smiled at Lelouch. There seemed to be no anger between the two parties, but Lelouch's eyes were full of endless murderous intent.
For Lelouch, it's either life or death. The original third path, the one taken by Xiao Ran, is no longer a choice. After all, once Lelouch is detained, it also means that his sister will fall into 's custody. In the hands of Xiao Ran, it is the same as if he fell into the hands of Xiao Ran, and he will still do things for Xiao Ran because of his sister. However, at that time, the two parties will not be collaborators at all, but will become mere superiors and subordinates, and there will be no possibility of communication at least like now.
Lelouch himself knew this very well. In the conversation between Xiao Ran and him, he never concealed the fact that he was bound to win. It was either cooperation or death. If Lelouch didn't want to die, he had no other choice but to cooperate with Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran just looked at Lelouch quietly and waited for Lelouch to make the final choice. No matter what Lelouch was thinking in his heart now, resentment, unwillingness, and wanting to kill Xiao Ran, but at this moment he could only say one word, and he said this word calmly, "Okay."
No matter what, no matter whether Lelouch believes that Xiao Ran can heal his most important sister, nor does he know what Xiao Ran's so-called power is, but at this moment he can only make this choice, at least to ensure the safety of this moment, otherwise he will die in the next second, and the dreams and ambitions in his heart will no longer be possible. It is estimated that even his favorite sister will be angered by then.
"I can promise you that the prerequisite for cooperation is that I hand over my sister to you, and you give me strength and heal my sister." Lelouch's mood suddenly calmed down. He had no choice whether to die or cooperate, but Lelouch did not feel sorry for himself, but He quickly suppressed all the emotions he shouldn't have, forced himself to regain his composure, and began to think about what Xiao Ran was going to do, what his next plan was, what he wanted to get from him, and what kind of advantage he could gain from Xiao Ran.
"I should be very important to your plan, but even if it's cooperation, I gave my sister to you as a hostage, but no matter how important other people are, aren't you worried that I will abandon my sister and eventually choose to betray you?"
"Then what do you want to do." After Xiao Ran said this, he suddenly turned his head and glanced in the direction of the truck cab, suddenly took a step forward and appeared in front of Lelouch, and stood in front of Lelouch grabbed the opponent's shoulder before he could react at all. The next second, a huge sound sounded inside the truck, and the truck seemed to be out of control at this moment. It hit something and stopped suddenly, causing the truck to start to vibrate violently.
Thanks to the help of Xiao Ran, Lelouch, whose shoulders were held down, found that he did not stagger because the truck hit something. Instead, he stood firmly inside the truck without even shaking his body. When the truck stopped, Lelouch's stunned eyes were once again focused on Xiao Ran.
Lelouch's breathing stopped for some reason, but then it became rapid. "Were his speed and movements just now really something humans can achieve? At that moment, I clearly saw him turn his head and glance in the direction of the cockpit, and then he took three steps and held my shoulders. How did he know that the car would hit something and stop? Was it precognition or feeling? Is this the power he was talking about?"
At this time, Xiao Ran looked down at Lelouch and smiled, "This is just one of the manifestations of power. You have agreed to cooperate with me, and you will get this kind of power sooner or later. Also, although I am not sure whether you believe it, I hope you can know that I have never had any real malice. This is not a beautiful word because you agreed to cooperate with me, but this was the idea from the beginning."
"However, since I appear in front of you today, I have no intention of simply letting you go. If you don't choose to cooperate, you will be locked up by me, but the end result is still the same. You will eventually be controlled by me to help me do things, but it is good like this now. I also hope that it can be like this, in a cooperative way rather than a coercive way. I hope that we can get along more happily in the future."
"I know what you want to say, and I know exactly what you are thinking, but this is impossible. I will not let my people stay with you, because this means that I actively hand over my weakness to your hands. I will cure your sister. In fact, her condition is not illness, but being forced into this state by another force. It is a problem that cannot be cured by medical treatment. It is also man-made and not an accident. I will remove the restraints given to her by that force. It won't be long before you can see that girl return to normal."
When he said this, the side door of the cargo box was suddenly opened, which also attracted Lelouch's attention. For a moment, Lelouch almost wanted to jump out of the car door and shout for help, attracting the attention of the surrounding Imperial Army to deal with Xiao Ran, but this idea only flashed for a moment and completely disappeared from Lelouch's mind.
