Chapter 78: Lost Face, But Worth It

"I'm angry! Since you won't be my darling, then just go die!"

Nena was completely furious. She had always been the type to demand everything go her way. It was one thing that Yang Hui didn't come to her side, but she had repeatedly tolerated him, yet he never understood her. He even wanted to kill her because of the civilians on the ground. At this moment, her murderous intent had reached its peak.

Throne Drei raised its gun and began shooting, but all the shots were blocked by the Shield-type GN Bits, failing to hit Gundam Rasiel or even reach the ground.

Yang Hui hadn't planned to wipe out the entire Trinity right now. He intended to keep them around as a buffer for the Celestial Being forces after obtaining the Quasi-GN Drive in the Three Kingdoms. However, Nena's actions truly infuriated him.

In his original memories, Yang Hui had always disliked Nena's character, and now he could use her to showcase the true stance of the Celestial Being forces.

The skirt armor detached, and eight Sword-type GN Bits unfolded, charging straight for Throne Drei. At the same time, the dual guns in his hands and the gun-type GN Bit aimed at Throne Drei, sealing off its surroundings.

"Damn it!" Faced with the impenetrable assault, Nena couldn't evade at all and could only output GN Particles with all her might, shrinking herself within the GN Field.

Although she had seen from battle records how powerful Yang Hui was, she was only now experiencing just how formidable he truly was. The third unit was protected within the GN Field, but it was not invincible. While the machine wouldn't take damage, it still felt the impact.

Every time Nena tried to retreat, the direction she moved in would be struck by an attack, the tremendous force pushing the third unit back to its original position, unable to fight back or escape.

The Quasi-GN Drive's functions and structure were almost identical to the GN Drive, but there was one difference: the Quasi-GN Drive could not self-generate GN Particles and needed to convert electrical energy into GN Particles, which limited the operational time of the Throne Gundam.

"Johann! Mihai! Help me!" Nena cried out in panic, watching the rapidly depleting GN Particles. She finally learned the emotion called "fear."

At that moment, the first unit's attack arrived, a thick beam of particle light shooting down at Yang Hui.

Seeing this, Yang Hui immediately took back control of the Shield-type GN Bits from Haro, combining them in front of him to block the sniper shot from the first unit. In that instant, the second unit rushed down, catching the third unit, which had exhausted its GN Particles, and turned to flee.

Yang Hui wanted to pursue, but another beam cannon shot came, forcing him to halt again. The fierce bombardment directly destroyed the Shield-type GN Bits. Fortunately, the energy of the particle beam cannon had just run out; otherwise, it would have been a real problem.

This level of bombardment, Yang Hui could easily dodge, but unfortunately...

He couldn't evade. If he did, the particle beam cannon would hit the estate below. Although he had warned the civilians to take shelter, how far could they run in that little time?

"Tch, the first time a target gets away, my reputation is ruined…" Yang Hui grumbled. He had originally planned to leave one Throne Gundam behind, but the civilians had hindered him.

However...

"Forget it, it's not a loss anyway."

Gundam Rasiel turned around, and Yang Hui looked down at the civilians, some still in shock, some grateful for their survival, especially having saved Louise. He felt that this time, the embarrassment was not a loss.

Gundam Rasiel gave a thumbs-up to the civilians below, then soared into the sky, disappearing from their sight in a burst of emerald light.

"We survived."

"Thank goodness, really thank goodness."

"We were saved by the Gundam."

"Just now, the blue Gundam seemed to say that the red Gundam isn't part of Celestial Being…"

"Who cares! The blue Gundam saved us."

"Exactly!"

"But this is also very important intelligence; it seems we can make some money again."

Louise held her parents and looked in the direction Gundam Rasiel had left. Previously, she had been naive, never thinking she would have any interaction with a Gundam. She had always viewed news about Gundams with a sense of curiosity, while Saji had been troubled by the goals and methods of the Gundams and Celestial Being, but she had never cared.

Now, she felt she had come to understand the true nature of Celestial Being and Gundam. Perhaps it was just a small aspect, but she had indeed interacted with a Gundam.

She realized that after facing life-and-death crises, she had grown up. She no longer found her parents annoying and had begun to think about what she should do with her future.

"I need to properly apologize to Saji when we get back." Although tears of mixed emotions filled the corners of Louise's eyes, the corners of her mouth curled into a gentle arc.

...

After confirming that Gundam Rasiel had not pursued them, Johann finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked Nena what had happened. Why did Gundam Rasiel attack her?

"Johann…" Nena cried sorrowfully, like a lovesick girl abandoned by her heartless lover.

"Alright, Nena, what exactly happened? Why did Gundam Rasiel attack you?"

"I don't know! We just wanted to kill those people, and who knew he suddenly charged out and started attacking me…" Nena said, feeling wronged.

"That bastard! I have to kill him!" Michael, a seasoned sister complex, couldn't let his sister be so upset. Even if he was scared, he had to teach Yang Hui a lesson.

"Did he say anything?" Johann pressed on. Yang Hui was definitely not an irrational person; he wouldn't attack them without reason.

"He asked me why I was attacking civilians…"

"What did you say?"

"I just didn't like them! So I wanted to kill them!"

"What was his reaction?"

"He said… he said…" Nena's face turned paler as she recalled Yang Hui's judgment on them, her emotions having been too intense before. "...he said… we are not part of Celestial Being… and that he would use force against all our actions."

"What did you say!?" Johann and Michael's faces turned horrified.

They had no parents, no family, and not even their own lives. They had lived their lives to become Gundam Meisters, sacrificing everything for the great purpose of eradicating war.

But now, the meaning of their existence had been denied just like that. What would their future hold?

"Damn it! Who does he think he is!? Do we need his acknowledgment to be part of Celestial Being or Gundam Meisters? Brother, once the machine is repaired, I'll go kill him!" Michael cursed angrily.

"Calm down. Let's return to the base and report this to Laguna. We'll ask him how to handle it." Johann decided, regaining his composure.

"Brother! Are we just going to let this go? That bastard hurt Nena!"

"I know! But right now, repairing the machine is the priority. We'll discuss everything after Laguna gives instructions."

"Brother!"

"Shut up!" Johann rarely lost his temper with his siblings, but now he was in turmoil. He wanted to avenge Nena and trample Yang Hui and Gundam Rasiel underfoot, but not only was the situation not favorable, the three of them together might not even be able to defeat him.

Moreover, if Yang Hui was indeed the overall leader of the Celestial Being plan, then their identities...

"Let's go back first."

Seeing Johann's face calm down again, Michael and Nena, who had been holding their breath, finally relaxed, but they didn't dare to cause any more trouble and obediently followed behind the first unit.
