"Tell me the value of what you've got in your hands, Captain, we don't have much time to waste." But although Steve was given a chance to speak, the big men still said impatiently.

In the eyes of these big men, there is never good or evil, only naked interests, if there are enough interests in the hands, even a small captain is worthy of courtesy, if there is no value, even the king is just a rag.

It's like Kaiser Wilhelm II, who was about to be defeated, and the family of the later Russian Emperor Nicholas.

"This poison gas recipe is the latest poison gas formula for the German army, and I am sure that it will indeed turn the tide of the war." Steve tried to convince the bigwigs, but even then, they only raised their eyelids slightly.

What they paid more attention to than this recipe was why a woman actually entered the conference room.

The moment they saw Diana, the entire conference room began to agitate, and they shouted loudly to kick Diana out.

In this era, women still belong to a subordinate status, not only women, in this era, most people are just pale numbers.

Today, how many people have died; Tomorrow, how many people will be slaughtered.

For the first time, the First World War made the West truly understand the cruelty of war, that war was not plunder, and that they were not facing the Indians at the end of civilization, but the peoples who were in the same civilization as themselves.

The number of deaths is no longer counted in a single one, but in thousands, tens of thousands.

When you enjoy the dividends of killing, you are destined to pay the price for this killing. It could be humanity that you don't care about, or it could be anything.

Now, it's time to pay the price. And none of this has anything to do with El and Diana.

In fact, the reason why El took Diana into this conference room was not for Diana to kindly explain the recipe for poison gas to these parliamentarians, ministers, and generals, but because he was looking for someone.

And now he knew, perhaps because of the interconnectedness of the bloodlines, that the moment he entered this meeting, someone had his eyes on Diana.

"Ares!" Whispering each other's names, El led Diana out of the conference room, the plan had been reached, and all they needed now was to wait.

"What did you find?" Diana was keenly aware of the change in El, so she asked.

"If we're looking for Ares, we've found it." El chuckled.

"Where is he?" In normal times, Diana always maintained a rational and calm demeanor, even in the face of the almost insulting shouts of the ministers and parliamentarians, Diana did not show too many mood swings, but after hearing Ares's name, Diana could not remain calm.

Perhaps in Diana's mind, Ares was the source of all the errors, but that was wrong.

"Diana?" El suddenly opened her mouth and called her name.

"What's the matter?" Diana looked a little puzzled.

"After killing this Ares, you should really look at the world, humans are contradictory creatures, they can be good and brave, they can also be evil and dirty, and you only see a part of it now, your life is not just for killing Ares, you are not a tool."

Diana was silent, although she only temporarily left the paradise island and temporarily entered the most prosperous city in the world, but what she saw was not what she wanted to see.

She is not timid, but she can no longer love the human world.

This is the kind of thing that no one else can understand, and even El can't play any role, because it's something that only Diana can understand in her heart.

With Diana, El walked towards Sir Patrick's mansion, which is not something difficult to know, because Patrick is also a very famous figure in Parliament, and not as notorious as Diana imagined, Sir Patrick, who has always insisted on the main battle, has a good reputation in London.

"Why are we here?" After a long silence, Diana finally asked. Diana knew that words alone could not tell her inner frustration, and she really didn't believe that humans were so stupid.

For the first time in the British Empire, she didn't see what she wanted, but there was someone who would see what she wanted.

"Because, Patrick is Ares." El blurted out directly without concealment, this is not something worth hiding, killing Ares has a deep connection with Diana's growth, but there is no necessary connection.

El knew that in Diana's heart, there was still the idea that killing Ares would end the war, and that only by killing Ares once could Diana truly grow up.

"Wait for the rabbit! That's what we're going to do. ”

Diana didn't ask much about El knowing that Sir Patrick was Ares, because although they didn't get along for long, Diana could know Eyre's magic.

It must be said that Ares is still a very pleasure-loving person, and his residence cannot be said to be extremely luxurious, but he also has a collection of many rare treasures, of course, these treasures are nothing more than Patrick's peerless and strange collector's habits in the eyes of others.

For example, the skull decoration of the Siberian wolf in the study, it is not a wolf, but a real werewolf, and the saddest thing is that the soul of that werewolf is still bound in it, wailing day and night.

The multitude of prey that adorned Patrick's mansion convinced Diana of El's judgment that beneath the affectionate exterior was cruel and bloody tyranny, just like the country, a gentleman but in fact a hungry wolf.

As the First World War was nearing its end, it was late when Patrick, who had assumed the position of minister, returned to the house.

To be honest, Patrick is enjoying his current life, although he can't personally join the battlefield to enjoy the bloodthirsty desire, but the source of war that comes in a large amount of money every day still makes him very comfortable, and among the gods of Olympus, he is the first to recover.

Thanks to the war, thanks to monopoly capital, thanks to imperialism.

Getting out of the carriage, Ares walked slowly into his mansion, mortal belongings were of no use to him, but if he could have a better life, he didn't mind taking some action.
