Meng Chao faced a difficult choice.
The Jungle Banshee had struck precisely at his Achilles' heel.
That was right. He could easily slice the Jungle Banshee into a thousand pieces, burn her to ash, then whip up a hurricane and scatter even the last pinch of ashes a hundred and eight thousand miles away.
But he had no way to drive the Monster Mastermind's power out of Lü Siya's body.
To completely eliminate the Jungle Banshee was equivalent to completely killing Lü Siya.
And that was something Meng Chao could not bring himself to do, no matter what.
Never mind the tangled, inexplicable relationship between him and Lü Siya—one that he could not explain to outsiders, or even clearly understand himself.
Lü Siya was not only a core executive and major shareholder of his Superstar Group, but also held a place in the Blue Alliance, which represented ordinary citizens and Transcendents from humble backgrounds.
If it became public that she had been corrupted by monster power more than a year ago, it would cause an enormous uproar.
Even if Meng Chao truly hardened his heart and killed her, how could he prove to the world that over the past year, Lü Siya had been desperately resisting the corrosion of monster power, that she had retained humanity's pride and will, that she had never done anything to harm the interests of Dragon City Civilization, much less developed more "subordinates" within the Superstar Group and the Blue Alliance?
Worse still, if Meng Chao really burned Lü Siya to ashes, would he not be suspected of silencing a witness and destroying the evidence?
By then, whether Lü Siya truly was the Jungle Banshee, when she had transformed into the Jungle Banshee, and whether she had any accomplices would all become impossible to determine.
