Thank You for Showing Mercy

“Yes,” Andrew said bluntly. “We’ve all met before!”

Chi Yang stopped what he was doing and listened as Andrew continued, “Over the years after joining the mercenary group, we’ve carried out a lot of commissions. Moreover, because we have special abilities, we usually carry out more difficult commissions.”

“The identities of these targets are also nobler. It’s precisely because of this that there will be ability users around these people.”

“I once encountered a rather troublesome situation. There was a person among the bodyguards who could completely temper himself beside the other party. Once this person used his ability, he would enter a flawless state. He was very strong. In the end, I forcefully bypassed him and killed the target, but I couldn’t hurt him at all.”

Chi Yang nodded in understanding. They had discussed this question with the Sect Master before. There must be a lot of ability users in this world. However, these people hid under their appearances and lived like ordinary people. They did not easily use their abilities, so it was extremely difficult for others to discover them.

“We’ve also encountered it once where this certain person can send down lightning. He was very powerful,” Chi Yang thought of Lei and couldn’t help but say slowly.

Andrew nodded. “The first ability user I met after joining the mercenary group was Robert. From then on, I knew I was not the only abnormality in the world.”

“However, it was not until I met you I realized that there are differences among the abnormalities.” Andrew changed the topic and looked at Chi Yang with interest. “Your abilities are very special, as if there are differences from our roots. I’ve seen many ability users. Although their abilities are different, the power they release is the same. Only you differ completely from us!”

“We’re not ability users!” Chi Yang looked at Andrew and smiled apologetically. “I forgot to answer your question just now. I’m sorry.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Yang explained as he cooked, “Our abilities are not so-called superpowers. They originate from the cultivation techniques left behind in ancient China. You might not understand what I’m saying, but other than that, I don’t know how to explain it to you.”

“These mental cultivation techniques have been passed down for a thousand years, and many of them have been completely lost. What you see is actually an ability created by our ancestors in China. It has nothing to do with nature, let alone a physical mutation.”

“So you’re right. There’s a fundamental difference between our abilities and yours!”

Andrew’s dark face frowned slightly. He did not understand Chi Yang’s words, but the only thing he was sure of was that superpowers and mental cultivation techniques were two completely different existences.

After a while, Andrew said calmly, “You’re very strong!”

Chi Yang smiled faintly. He knew Andrew did not understand his words, but he explained nothing else because even he could not completely understand where these mental cultivation techniques originated from and why they were lost. He was also a person of this era and knew little about what had happened in the past few thousand years, so it was difficult to explain everything.

In the living room, the atmosphere was harmonious. Everyone was sitting on the sofa and talking and laughing.

Yu Wuyuan was wearing a well-ironed suit. His tall figure stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out. The night shrouded everything, and the lights were dim and beautiful.

His personality was extremely indifferent. Not that he was cold to people, but he had a mentality of having no desires for anything in this world. Therefore, his peace and elegance came from his bones.

Just as he was in a daze, someone suddenly handed a glass of red wine to him. Yu Wuyuan retracted his gaze and slowly turned his head to look, meeting Irene’s blue and icy eyes.

Her eyelashes were snow white, making her eyes look even clearer and more lively. Her long snow-white hair reached her waist, but she did not look strange at all, like a person in an anime.

“Hi,” Irene took the initiative to say. She tilted her head slightly and smiled.

Yu Wuyuan came back to his senses and smiled. He reached out to take the red wine Irene handed over and answered softly, “Hi!”

Irene raised her eyes and looked out of the window. Her gaze landed on the spot where Yu Wuyuan was in a daze just now. Then, she said calmly, “Actually, I’ve always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you.”

“Thank me?” Yu Wuyuan was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and asked, “For what?”

Irene turned to look at him, and Yu Wuyuan’s handsome face was reflected in her ice-blue eyes. “Thank you for showing mercy before.”

Hearing this, Yu Wuyuan couldn’t help but narrow his eyes and laugh softly. Then he looked at Irene and shook his head. “I didn’t show mercy. I just didn’t have any killing intent.”

“You have the ability to kill me, so no matter what, it’s under your mercy that I survived,” Irene said.

Irene was a strange but principled person. Those who knew her well understood her strangeness. This strangeness was not just her personality, but all aspects.

From head to toe, from the inside out, she was an existence extremely different from ordinary people. Even her abilities were exceptionally strange.

Irene was an extremely solitary person. This isolation came from her strength, and because of her strength, there were very few people around her who could be called friends.

In the past, those weak forces only felt fear when facing her. No one was willing to approach her.

Yu Wuyuan was the first to defeat her, so Yu Wuyuan’s appearance was equivalent to redemption in Irene’s eyes.

She let herself understand and believe one thing. She should not become the focus of everyone’s fear because there were people stronger than her in this world.

Yu Wuyuan didn’t argue with Irene’s words. He was such a person and treated everything calmly. Since Irene thought so, let her think so.

However, even someone like Yu Wuyuan, who was careful in everything, could not help but feel a trace of curiosity towards Irene.

Yu Wuyuan’s gaze landed on her long snow-white hair. This hair color was natural and bright. One could tell at a glance that it was natural, just like Bai Zhou’s hair color.

However, although their hair colors were both white, they were different. Bai Zhou was silver-white, while Irene was snow-white.

As if sensing Yu Wuyuan’s gaze, Irene immediately said slowly, “Why? Are you curious about my hair color?”

“I’m just thinking in my mind if anyone is born with snow-white hair,” Yu Wuyuan said bluntly.

Irene smiled and shook her head. She looked into Yu Wuyuan’s eyes and said, “I wasn’t born with this hair color.”

Hearing this, Yu Wuyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, but Irene continued, “I’m from Chile. Do you know where Chile is?”
