Chapter 1240 -1240: Communicating with the Guardian_1

Both of them were speeding through the air, but the distance between them had always been several dozen meters apart.

Ethan Smith was no fool, he could clearly see that his father was doing it on purpose, so he didn’t worry and just followed him from behind.

The two of them ran dozens of kilometers, and even Ethan’s divine power was starting to feel depleted.

Finally, they arrived near a cliff.

The place was desolate, as if no one had ever set foot here.

Looking at the almost primitive scenery around him, Ethan was also a little surprised.

He was breathing heavily, staring at the imposing Guardian standing in front of him.

Ethan said coldly, “Why didn’t you save my mother? With your ability, killing them would have been a piece of cake!”

The Guardian had his back to Ethan, he seemed to have guessed that Ethan would ask this question, so he was not surprised.

“Speak up!”

As the Guardian remained silent for a long time, Ethan couldn’t help but get anxious and shouted.

“It’s my duty, I couldn’t step in.” The Guardian was silent for a while before finally saying these words.

Ethan gritted his teeth and said, “Just because of your position and duty, you can abandon the woman you love? Do you know how much she was criticized because of you?”

Hearing these words, the Guardian let out a long sigh.

He said lightly, “Standing in this position, one must abandon personal emotions. Otherwise, how can we ensure fairness and justice?”

“I’ve seen too many people’s separations and death. Whether I step in or not, there will always be a day of parting, and I cannot change any outcome.”

Ethan opened his mouth to speak, but the Guardian interrupted him at that moment.

He said coldly, “Do you think I ignored it to save my position? Do you think being a Guardian is a piece of cake?”

Ethan was startled and frowned, “What do you mean?”

“Since ancient times, this has always been a thankless job. I can’t explain it to you now, but you will understand it later.” The Guardian said solemnly.

With Ethan’s current state of mind, how could he understand all this?

All talk of big love or small love seemed like bullshit to him.

“If I can’t even protect the people around me, how can I protect others?” Ethan took a deep breath.

“I don’t understand now, maybe I won’t understand in the future, and I don’t think I will ever understand you.”

The Guardian said lightly, “I never hoped for anyone to understand me, not even my own son.”

Ethan bit his teeth and said, “Why did you save me then? Wouldn’t it be better to let me die?”

Hearing this, the Guardian’s body visibly trembled slightly.

“I don’t want to answer this question,” the Guardian said coldly.

A gust of wind blew in the sky, and in Ethan’s eyes, there was a faint trace of tears.

No matter how much he complained, the longing deep within his heart could not be drowned.

The Guardian slowly turned around and looked down at Ethan from above, saying softly, “Ethan, you will be the strongest man in this world. Your achievements will surpass mine and anyone else’s. This is what your mother and I have always believed.”

At this moment, Ethan’s face was covered in tear stains. He so badly wanted to say that he didn’t want to be the strongest person; he just wanted an ordinary and warm family.

But he never said it out loud. Instead, he wiped away his tears and held back the tears.

The determination that flashed across his face made the Guardian both relieved and somewhat guilty and heartbroken.

He raised his huge palm and gently patted Ethan on the shoulder.

“Emily Taylor is a good girl. You have to work hard, or you won’t be worthy of her.” The Guardian smiled softly.

Ethan took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and said, “I’ve already embarked on this path, and there’s no room for choice. One day, I will protect not just myself.”

I will protect everyone around me.

Including you, the mighty Guardian.

Ethan never said these words out loud but buried them deep in his heart.

After all the complaints and grievances were expressed, life still had to go on.

Ethan no longer had any hesitation. He turned around and left.

The Guardian watched Ethan’s retreating figure, lost in thought.

A moment later, his figure slowly disappeared, as if merging into the void, leaving no trace.
