Chapter 1535: Holle Viktoria’s Wrath!
It was the ‘wealth’ he painstakingly scraped together.
As he touched the ring, Jason’s lips curled into a smirk.
"Viktor, you’re the person with the most contact with Jing. I need your cooperation in the investigation—as one of Jing’s interrogators.”
Jason spoke as he walked forward.
Towards someone like Holle Viktoria, who only held a position for the title, Jason had no ill will.
Because he was obedient.
When choosing between a tiger that devours people and an obedient, docile dog, what’s the choice?
Need it even be said?
The latter, without a doubt.
Is ability important?Not really.
The key is, obedience.
Moreover…
Being able to eat shit.
That’s enough.
With these two points, regardless of what Holle Viktoria did, he didn’t care.
Of course, he also knew Holle Viktoria would handle everything cleanly.
And, secure greater benefits for him.
As a matter of fact, that’s exactly how it was.
"I will do my utmost to serve you.”
Holle Viktoria said so.
Hearing these words as if they were an oath, Jason smiled.
That’s what he wanted.
A person who made mistakes but could still be forgiven and reused.
Especially when that person’s abilities weren’t all that great.
On hearing this news, those wavering people should make a choice, right?
‘Reputation’!
That’s what Jason wanted.
Otherwise, just based on Holle Viktoria’s wealth?
It’s hardly enough to look at.
Standing there respectfully, Holle Viktoria watched Jason leave.
Once Jason’s figure disappeared, Holle Viktoria then straightened his posture and let out a long sigh.
His life was spared!
Though he once again became penniless.
But, as long as he was alive.
He could acquire more wealth.
Besides, there was a chance right in front of him.
Holle Viktoria turned around, looking at Jing, with both arms severed, jaw dislocated, and the whole body bound, he immediately showed a smile that was more like a sneer.
"Jing, who would’ve thought we’d meet so soon?”
"Don’t worry, I’ll treat you well!”
"I’ll make sure your life is a living hell!”
Holle Viktoria said fiercely.
What he got in return was Jing’s indifference.
With both arms severed, jaw dislocated, and the whole body bound, Jing seemed resigned, hanging his head without a word.
This look made Holle Viktoria want to punch Jing.
But he didn’t.
Because Jing was a person designated by the ‘Council’ to be dealt with.
Although meant for execution.
Before the actual execution, no one would touch him.
But the anger from being ignored made Holle Viktoria uncomfortable, stifled.
Instinctively, Holle Viktoria glanced at the carried-off Jason.
Hit by an illusion?
By Lord Jason?
Relying on the ‘mystical knowledge’ not entirely forgotten, Holle Viktoria made a judgment.
Then, he guessed what Lord Jason wanted to do.
It’s no secret.
The power of the twelve councilors in Uptown is well known in Uptown.
Even, the abilities of these twelve councilors are being spread around.
Not all of them.
Just parts.
But that was enough.
At least, Holle Viktoria understood Jason wasn’t someone he could meddle with.
Immediately, Holle Viktoria felt even more frustrated.
At this moment, the soldiers and staff on the platform glanced over.
Instantly, Holle Viktoria felt like he had been offended.
"What are you looking at?”
"Are you slacking off?”
"I’ll report you!”
Holle Viktoria shouted loudly.
As if finding a channel to vent his frustration.
From that moment on, until he completely left the ‘port,’ Holle Viktoria’s mouth never stopped.
He strongly, solemnly declared his stance.
Reprimanding the nearby platform staff for not working hard enough.
Why were there fewer soldiers?
Because, when a few soldiers showed fierce expressions and put their hands on their triggers, Holle Viktoria thought he should be magnanimous, shouldn’t cling to others’ minor mistakes.
However, it was different with those staff members.
In the face of his rightful persuasion, they actually remained silent?
Not the slightest remorse!
How can they endure this?
Therefore, Holle Viktoria’s voice grew louder and louder.
Until just before getting into the car.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable in the throat, Holle Viktoria finally closed his mouth with satisfaction.
He sat in the latter half of the carriage.
With Jason, and ‘Jing’ together.
After drinking a bottle of water in big gulps, Holle Viktoria let out a satisfied breath.
Then, he looked at ‘Jing’.
First glanced at the front.
After confirming the carriage was sealed, and ‘Jing’ was completely restrained, Holle Viktoria then spoke in a very low voice.
"Do you know you almost ruined me?”
"Do you know you made me lose everything?”
"Do you know you made me start over?”
Interrogation.
Holle Viktoria questioned sharply.
As he asked, Holle Viktoria grabbed ‘Jing’ by the collar.
Of course, Holle Viktoria wouldn’t do anything more excessive.
Nor dare to do it.
At this moment, it was just taking advantage of no one around to vent a little.
"He tui!”
Holle Viktoria prepared to complete the above action, but just as he gathered the saliva, ‘Jing’ raised his head.
Suddenly, their eyes met.
Looking at ‘Jing’s gaze full of cold indifference, Holle Viktoria inexplicably shivered from the bottom of his heart.
Not fear.
Definitely not fear.
But…
Pity.
Yes, it was pity.
More than ten years of colleague camaraderie made him feel pity for this person about to be executed.
The saliva swallowed back.
The hand let go.
And, he smoothed the collar.
Despite ‘Jing’s clothes having already become tattered and unsightly, for his own pity, Holle Viktoria thought he should still do his best; this was to express his sentiment.
Squeak.
Unfortunately, Holle Viktoria was too nervous, using too much strength at once.
‘Jing’s collar was just torn open like that.
"Sorry.”
"Apologies.”
"I didn’t mean to.”
Holle Viktoria immediately apologized.
This was just an instinctive apology.
Holle Viktoria naturally did not expect ‘Jing’ to respond.
But—
"It’s okay.”
‘Jing’s voice sounded.
"That’s good, that’s goo…”
Holle Viktoria instinctively said, only realizing something was wrong when the words repeated the second time.
He looked up, staring in shock at ‘Jing’.
Only to see ‘Jing’ looking at him with a gentle expression.
That appearance was exactly the same as the ‘Jing’ in his memory.
Yet Holle Viktoria was chilled to the bone.
"Impossible!”
"How could you break through Master ‘Yao’s’ restraints?!” .
"I must be dreaming!”
"No, wrong!”
"It’s an illusion!”
"It must be an illusion!”
Holle Viktoria could not accept the reality at all.
And ‘Jing’ just smiled lightly.
"Without such strength, how would I dare to execute the plan?”
Seemingly sighing, more like reminiscing, ‘Jing’ took a breath and ignored Holle Viktoria who was already curled up in the corner, he directly looked at Jason sitting opposite him, seemingly still in the Illusion Realm.
Such a gaze lasted for 10 seconds.
Finally, ‘Jing’ laughed.
"Still want to continue the disguise?”
"Don’t worry.”
"This is a prison van, no surveillance, no one would spy—those guys are more arrogant than you think.”
‘Jing’ said.
Curled up in the corner, Holle Viktoria looked towards Jason.
No way?
Impossible?
This guy is also pretending?
This…
Holle Viktoria was full of suspicion, then shock filled his eyes.
Under Holle Viktoria’s horrified gaze, Jason’s eyes regained clarity.
Jason leaned against the prison van, looking at ‘Jing’ opposite him.
‘Jing’s hands naturally crossed on his legs.
Both were staring at each other.
Neither spoke first.
About three seconds later, they opened their mouths at the same time without any order—
"Shall we talk?”
