The war wouldn't last forever; someone would eventually yield first. With no hope for negotiations, prolonging it only meant more sacrifices on all sides—whether it was the First Terror Organization, the North American government, or innocent civilians. Protraction was mutually detrimental. Ye Ningyuan and Chu Li understood this clearly. They had vented their frustrations to let others know they were still the leaders of a terrifying organization. They showed that the First Terror Organization wasn't one to take retaliatory actions lightly; past tolerance had reached its limit.

The next step would be someone backing down first.

It wouldn’t be them who backed down, but when Ye Tianyu rejected the government’s peace conditions, Chu Li believed it was time to end the war. He attempted to persuade Ye Tianyu, while Ye Ningyuan remained silent. Jason and others initially thought that Ye Tianyu would fight until the very end without hesitation, only to find out that Ye Tianyu rejecting their peace terms merely meant proposing new ones.

He demanded the abolition of all terror organizations' factions cultivated by them but took over territories they had established. He also traded a batch of nuclear weapons and added an additional condition: he wanted the life of M2's top leader.

This wasn’t Ye Tianyu losing his mind, fighting until the end recklessly; rather, it was prioritizing what mattered most. Moreover, although this last condition seemed harsh, they would inevitably accept it. They had no other choice but to comply.

Ye Tianyu didn't make unreasonable demands but chose an appropriate time to express his anger and warn all anti-terror high-level officials that if something went wrong, the military would hold them responsible first. His intention wasn’t merely revenge for Cailan and Wen Jing, nor was it just a warning; he wanted these officials to see through the ugly face of the military.

The military would go to great lengths to make you do their bidding when they needed you, yet be the first to push you out to die when they didn’t need you anymore.

This way, in future similar anti-terror activities, no one would truly fight for the government out of genuine loyalty; there would always be a sense of estrangement involved. That was Ye Tianyu’s conclusion: people cherish life and wouldn't willingly serve a disappointing government.

Chu Li asked Ye Ningyuan, "You didn't try to persuade Tianyu from the beginning because you knew what he was thinking"

Ye Tianyu shrugged and smiled slightly. "I don't know that either; I just believe in him. I believe he wouldn't be foolish enough to keep fighting until both sides are destroyed, but Ke Lan's and Wen Jing's deaths could bring Tianyu down—almost...

Almost means nothing. Ye Tianyu remains who he is.

The madness has passed, followed by complete growth.

Even if there will always be pain in his heart, even if the sunlight no longer shines within him, even if happiness eludes him for the rest of his life, he will still be Ye Tianyu—the leader of the first terrifying criminal organization

Chu Li pondered that perhaps others really couldn't understand the trust between father and son. He thought Tianyu would keep fighting until both sides were destroyed, so he asked Ye Ningyuan to persuade him. However, Ye Ningyuan remained unmoved.

Jason said, "Damn it, this kid Tianyu is crazier than we were in our youth; back then I wanted to bomb the Pentagon, but you all kept disagreeing. Look at how beautifully he's done it."

Iron Junior remarked, "He did what we never dared to do; you should be applauding him."

"Spit! It wasn't that I didn't dare, it was because you wouldn't allow it!" Jason strongly protested. There is a huge difference between the two. He could never have imagined that decades later, he would once again take to the field and engage in large-scale slaughter as before; he should've wiped them out from the start.

Ye Wei lightly tapped the table. "In any case, everything has ended."

Eleven frowned slightly, "When Tianyu negotiates with them, don't agree to their conditions for suppressing terrorist activities. Since we are terrorists, we should maintain our image as such. We're not running a charity institution; this is something they must deal with."

Eleven was truly enraged. She had never been a bloodthirsty person but would make demands like these, indicating how serious her anger was. Her punishment for them needed to be long-term; one swift revenge wouldn't suffice to quell her fury.

Ye Ningyuan nodded, "Rest assured, Aunt Eleven. I've already discussed this point with Tianyu. Initially, it was my overly idealistic thinking that led me to believe everyone could coexist peacefully, resulting in our ambiguous situation."

Well done; no one will give them awards. The credit goes to the government, and people genuinely believe they are protected by the government from terror attacks. How naive of them.

Now that something has gone wrong, others will only think of them as terrorists, rendering all their past achievements meaningless.

This is pointless effort indeed.

They are terrorists.

Not philanthropists.

The negotiations proceeded very smoothly. The First Terrorist Organization emerged victorious, bringing this round of瘋狂報複的瘋狂報複 should be translated more appropriately to intense retaliation or fierce retribution to maintain the context's severity. So I'll adjust it accordingly:

The negotiations went extremely smoothly. The First Terrorist Organization came out on top, marking the end of their intense retaliation.

The rest remains unchanged:

Bai Liucui stepped down from her position as Chief Anti-Terrorism Officer and withdrew from international anti-terrorism efforts to transfer to the CIA. There was a large-scale adjustment within the anti-terrorist unit, with personnel reshuffling. The new anti-terrorism supervisor, who is just twenty years old, became the youngest in history.

...

Six months have passed in the blink of an eye.

A lot has changed during these six months. Many people have gradually transformed, too. Kaka remains asleep without awakening, while Ye Tianyu has officially taken over as the leader of the first terrorist organization after being promoted from a junior member. This decision was made by Chu Li and Ye Ningyuan. Since they don't know when Kaka will awaken, someone must continue in his position. Unless Ye Ningyuan comes out to take charge, this seat would naturally be passed on to Ye Tianyu.

Chu Li and Jason are still quite uneasy about leaving things to Ye Tianyu, but Ye Ningyuan and Ye Wei have great faith in him because they've known him since he was a child; no matter what happens later on, it can't be too far off the mark.

So Chu Li and Jason decided not to worry about it anymore.

During these six months, nearly all of the agents who were injured in Rome have recovered. Among them, over ten sustained severe injuries that haven’t completely healed yet; they've been relocated to London for continued treatment. The Mo family has moved to Thousand Cloud Island.

Mo Chen almost replicated the entire Mo Family Castle on Thousand Cloud Island. Although the architectural style is vastly different and mostly resembles original villa designs, it naturally can't compare with the castle in Rome times. However, the internal design was precisely relocated, including the rose garden.

On the beach of Thousand Cloud Island, a beautiful pregnant woman is pushing an elegant man along a smooth path, occasionally bending her head to say something to him, her face filled with gentle happiness and affection.
