Ling Feng frowned slightly. He hadn't considered this point, but what does it have to do with this matter?
Catherine continued, "Ling Feng, I know your thoughts very well. You want to destroy these because you don't want more people to experience the same pain and suffering as you, right?"
Ling Feng remained silent.
Catherine held Ling Feng's hand and continued, "But Ling Feng, have you thought about the insatiable greed of people in this world? Especially in the Underworld, where the law of the jungle is blatant. Do you think they would do nothing when they see that ordinary people can be turned into super soldiers by the Divine Gate organization? Even if I destroy these materials, do you think they would let it go?"
"In the dark corners of this world, things even more insane than the Divine Gate are happening!" Catherine said solemnly, "Although these documents of the Mad Doctor are stained with sin, destroying them doesn't erase those sins. Those who have tasted this sweetness will become even more crazed and invested in Gene Experiments, and we can't stop it!"
Ling Feng exhaled, feeling very heavy-hearted. He knew that everything Catherine said was true. Ling Feng had a profound understanding of the greedy faces of humanity.
"Why are you organizing this information?" Ling Feng stared at Catherine and said, "If you want to continue the Mad Doctor's experiment, I will..."
Ling Feng really wanted to say he would kill her, but looking into Catherine's bright eyes, he found that he couldn't bring himself to say such words.
"What would you do to me?" Catherine looked into Ling Feng's eyes and pressed, "Would you... kill me?"
As she spoke the last words, Catherine's voice trembled. Although reason told her she shouldn't pressure Ling Feng , she genuinely wanted to know the answer!
Ling Feng was agitated. He clenched his fist and said harshly to Catherine, "I won't let you continue! Catherine, you have to remember, you are my woman, Ling Feng's woman, so you must listen to me! If I forbid you to continue, you cannot continue! Do you understand?" Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt
Seeing Ling Feng's bloodshot eyes and frenzied appearance, Catherine's lips curled into a smile, and the unease on her face disappeared.
Although she didn't get the answer she was seeking, Ling Feng's reaction told her everything! He really is an overbearing yet adorable man!
"Don't worry, how could I possibly continue those experiments?" Catherine leaned over and kissed the corner of Ling Feng's mouth and said, "Ling Feng, please believe me, my disgust for Gene Experiments is not less than yours, and I absolutely will not conduct any more experiments! The reason I organized these things is actually to strike a deal with other underground forces!"
"A deal?" Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, then said solemnly, "Do you mean you want to sell this data and experiment reports to other forces?"
Catherine sighed and said, "That's right. Although we at Divine Gate are determined not to touch any more Gene Experiments, there are still many people in the Underworld interested in the Mad Doctor's research."
Ling Feng frowned, "Why are you doing this? Could it be... is Divine Gate in some kind of trouble?"
A trace of helplessness appeared on Catherine's pretty face, "Yes, I wasn't planning on telling you, but since you asked, I'll tell you now, to avoid you blaming me later!"
"Divine Gate is indeed in trouble now!" Catherine said, "A month ago, I received a message from an unknown source ordering me to prepare all data on the Mad Doctor's Gene Experiments. Otherwise, they would harm the brothers in Divine Gate!"
"Who are they!" A hint of murder appeared around Ling Feng, daring to threaten his woman, do they not want to live?
Catherine shook her head, "I don't know, they didn't reveal their identity, but that's precisely why I'm more worried! Divine Gate now is like a child walking alone with a diamond. If it weren't for your presence, those wolves in the Underworld would have attacked long ago!"
"I suspect they waited so long only to test because they confirmed you weren't at Divine Gate!" Catherine said.
Ling Feng snorted coldly, deeply disdainful of their sneaky behavior. Capable of blackmail, yet unable to reveal their identity?
"What were you originally planning to do?" Ling Feng asked, "Did you really intend to hand over these materials, is that why you organized them?"
Hearing Ling Feng's words lacking anger, Catherine showed a cheerful smile, "How could that be! We are Sect Members of the Divine Gate, how could we hand over these materials because of a mere threat? If we did, wouldn't it tell the entire Underworld that the current Divine Gate no longer deters, and you can take whatever you want?"
"So, I want to organize this data and then publicly auction it off! This way, I can throw away this hot potato and collect a massive amount of funds, which will solve Divine Gate's relocation problem. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
In all fairness, Catherine was not wrong, and this approach was the most sensible.
"Does Divine Gate need a lot of money now?" Ling Feng couldn't help asking.
"What do you think?" Catherine rolled her eyes and said, "A year ago, you crippled the entire Divine Gate, now Divine Gate needs development, and of course, that requires a lot of financial support! Many of Divine Gate's external industries have been forcibly taken by other forces. We simply have no power to fight back. Perhaps that's also why they confirmed you left Divine Gate!"
Hearing all of this, Ling Feng fell silent. He didn't expect his departure to make the already precarious Divine Gate even worse. But from Catherine to Aiven, to all Divine Gate brothers, none of them complained. If Catherine hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't even know that Divine Gate was in such a crisis now.
Phew! Ling Feng exhaled, a determined look gradually appearing in his eyes, "Catherine, don't worry. Now that I know about this, let me handle it. I want to see which petty thief dares to take advantage of Divine Gate. How dare they bully my woman, Ling Feng's woman!"
Catherine's face blushed slightly. Though her demeanor was usually strong, in front of Ling Feng, she still enjoyed being a weak woman, relying on her man. This feeling wasn't bad at all!
