"Bastard!" Ye Hao slammed both palms on the table and shouted upon hearing He Hua's words.

If it were a military war where tens of thousands died, it could still be understandable, as it's a nation defending its dignity; it's a battle of honor.

But it's unacceptable that the God organization caused the death of tens of thousands for biochemical research. It's a total disregard for human rights. If others voluntarily participated in the research, it would be another story. But were those tens of thousands all willing? Ye Hao didn't believe it.

That leaves only coercion or deception to bring people to the God's forces, then forcibly stripping them of their personal freedom to conduct research on them directly.

"Who were those people? Which countries were they from? What were they doing before?" Ye Hao asked.

"They were all ordinary people, from various countries. Some were captured, but most were deceived," He Hua said.

"And what about you? How did you join the God's forces, and what roles do you hold in the organization? What tasks do you carry out?" Ye Hao asked coldly.

"I joined the God organization ten years ago for revenge, even before reaching the twelfth level of National Martial Arts," He Hua recalled.

"I did it for revenge too," Ji Zhengxue's voice turned cold as she thought of family hatred.

"I was forced to join. If I dared to resist, they would kill me," Zhou Yang said.

"When you took on this mission, did you ever think about leaving this extreme organization?" Ye Hao asked.

"We did! But we can't leave. Once we leave the organization, we will die," He Hua said sadly, secretly regretting joining and the heavy price he paid for revenge.

Even so, the revenge hadn't been fulfilled and they still had to unconditionally follow God's orders.

They live like they are being exploited, their every ounce of strength being drained, serving the God organization without complaint, otherwise, the bomb in their bodies would explode...

This is why they are forced to live under God's commands, going east when told to, not daring to go west.

"Why would you die? Isn't there a stronger force to protect you?" Ye Hao asked.

"No, it's because once we joined God, we couldn't leave the organization," He Hua said with a grim face.

Su Chenhong looked up at this moment, curious about what method could control three national martial arts masters, and seeing the look of helplessness on their faces, he wondered if they had been brainwashed. But that shouldn't be! Why would they show such expressions if they had been brainwashed? Or were their families held hostage? That would be even more nonsensical.

For they joined the organization for revenge, so how could they hand over their families to the God organization?

Wasn't that laying bare their Achilles' heel?

"Be specific, why would you die?" Ye Hao frowned and asked.

"Because once we leave the God underground force, the bomb implanted in our hearts by God will shatter our hearts. With our hearts blown apart, can we hope to survive?" Ji Zhengxue revealed their concern.

"Are you saying that God implanted heart bombs in you?" Ye Hao's pupils contracted. He knew about these bombs too. The eighth-generation system mentioned them – a radical way to control people.

A heart bomb is implanted in a human heart, but it doesn't just stay there; it moves, like something with Life Force. It senses the host's heartbeat — fast, slow, intense — allowing those who control them to determine what the person is doing.

Whenever someone with a heart bomb attempts surgery to remove it, their heart rate increases. The controllers can then make them die or cause excruciating pain to deter further attempts.

Ye Hao finally understood why these three masters willingly stayed in the God organization and served them.

"Yes!" The three nodded.

Ye Hao returned to his seat and fell silent. Though he had a way to remove the heart bombs, it was too risky. A slight mistake could cost the lives of the three masters.

Because the three masters operated together, if Ye Hao removed one bomb, their controllers would know immediately.

The outcome of that knowledge would be the certain death of the other two masters.

Ye Hao sat there, pondering.

Su Chenhong frowned as well, contemplating what kind of technology could implant a bomb in a human heart. It was unbelievable. In the past, just slicing the heart with a blade could cause instant death, but now science had overturned his understanding.

Seeing Ye Hao frowning in thought, He Hua whispered, "Do you know about heart bombs?"

"Yes, though I can help you remove the heart bombs, I can't do it for all three of you simultaneously. Removing it from one would cause the other two to die, not because I wanted to harm them, but because whoever implanted the bombs would kill you," Ye Hao said.

"What? You really know how to remove heart bombs?" He Hua asked excitedly.

"Yes! Do you have any thoughts?" Ye Hao asked them.

"That's great, that's great, you really can remove them?" He Hua asked again, uncertain.

"Don't talk nonsense; why is it great?" Ye Hao glanced at He Hua and asked.

"It's like this; when we joined the God organization before reaching the twelfth level of National Martial Arts, we lacked strength and ambition, so we thought it was acceptable to be controlled by God. After all, our lives were as good as set. But as we gained strength and ambition, it was too late..."

"Get to the point."

"What I mean is, those of us who joined God together have long been secretly planning. No matter who controls the heart bomb device, we've agreed not to report it or interfere with the removal process. So if you can help us remove the heart bombs, we won't be blown up," He Hua said excitedly.

"Yes! Can you truly help us?" Ji Zhengxue looked at Ye Hao excitedly and asked.

Ye Hao waved his hand and said, "I can help you, but I won't help for free."

Ye Hao's words made their faces fall; they knew it wouldn't be that simple.

However, for the sake of freedom, they wanted to hear what Ye Hao wanted them to do. If Ye Hao could let them live openly under the sun, they'd be willing to do anything.

After all, they hadn't lived openly for many years!

"What do you want?" He Hua and the others asked in unison. (To be continued. If you like this work, please recommend it on qidian.com, vote monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
