Chapter 209 - 197: What is Freedom?
"A good question, but the answer too many, not easy to respond,"
The Garden might be small, but it was Gao Yi’s, the National Intelligence Bureau might be big, but it belonged to someone else.
For Gao Yi, it was better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in the sea. Once inside the National Intelligence Bureau, freedom would be a thing of the past. Becoming someone’s white glove or black hand meant his life would no longer be his own.
Lucy was but a pawn. How could she appreciate the value of freedom? Whether serving as a pawn for the Revenge Blade or as a special agent for the National Intelligence Bureau, it made no difference to her.
So how could he explain this to Lucy?
After pondering for a moment, Gao Yi softly said, "I will borrow someone’s words: In this desert, I am a free grain of sand, in the vast ocean, I am a free wave, my homeland’s mountains and forests await me, the grasslands await me, and Ah Huang awaits me. Therefore, I cannot join the National Intelligence Bureau; once I do, I won’t have any freedom."
Lucy frowned, her voice soft, "Who is Ah Huang?"
"Ah Huang... is a generic name for a dog. You could consider it a family pet dog, generally called Ah Huang, Little Hei, or Xiao Bai."
Lucy seemed a bit more relaxed, then nodded and said, "Freedom... what is freedom?"
Gao Yi was stumped, he looked towards Luca.
