Chapter 1522: After the Wedding in My Dreams...? (part 2)
‘Jing’?
‘Jing’ is just a proxy, not a manager.
These are two completely different concepts.
So, it’s impossible!
“‘Jing’ is a proxy, I took him down once, so why can’t I manage the Lower City District within the Ring City of ‘Nightless City’?”
Jason said slowly.
With an expression of complete reason.
The shadowy figure laughed out of exasperation.
"According to your logic, as long as you take down ‘Jing’, you can control the Lower City District within the Ring City of ‘Nightless City’, then believe me, ‘Jing’ would have long been reduced to bones!”
"There’s no way it would have waited until your appearance!”"Change the condition.”
The other person waved their hand.
"Then I want to become a proxy like ‘Jing’.
Jason continued stating his demand.
"Impossible.”
The shadowy figure rejected directly.
Although not as sensitive or surprised as before, such a refusal was decisive without any consideration.
"Why?”
Jason cooperatively asked.
"Why?”
"Do you know how ‘Jing’ became this proxy?”
"Do you know how great his achievements were?”
"You know nothing, yet you’re asking for the impossible here.”
The shadowy figure sneered.
"So, can achieving a great merit make someone a new proxy?”
"Then…”
"If I take down ‘Jing’ again… no, bring him back, would that achievement be enough?” .
After thinking for a moment, Jason lifted his head and asked.
"Bring him back alive?”
"If you can bring him back alive.”
"Then your achievement would be sufficient—because he knows some things that we are extremely eager to know now.”
The shadowy figure paused for a moment, then nodded directly.
"He is now in the 30 District.”
"Mixing with those monsters.”
"I need detailed information on the 30 District.”
Jason looked eager to become a proxy of the Lower City District within the Ring City of ‘Nightless City’.
"No problem.”
"I’ll have someone send it over shortly.”
"As long as you can bring ‘Jing’ back, I will grant you the status of ‘proxy’.”
The shadowy figure said this, then paused.
"And also!”
"You need to stop those deceived by ‘Jing’, keeping them away from the 30 District.”
"This is another test for you before becoming a ‘proxy’.
The other person added.
"Okay.”
Jason nodded again without any hesitation.
Jason’s attitude made the other party very satisfied.
After pondering for a moment, the other party said.
"In three hours, what you need will be delivered to you.”
"At the same time, I will send a team to assist you.”
"Wish you success.”
After speaking, the shadowy figure turned off the communicator.
Jason glanced at the communicator and walked out silently.
Behind him, the door closed.
Entering the elevator, Jason looked at Euler.
Euler raised his hand, and a kind of ‘Silence Technique’ appeared.
"Phew!”
"I was suffocated.”
"Jason, do you really want to become an agent of the Lower City District?”
Lauren Delder was the first to ask.
"How could that be?”
"Jason just wants the information on the 30 District.”
‘Old Man’ smiled and waved his hand.
"Then…”
"If asking directly for the 30 District’s info, there would be all kinds of difficulties. Instead, it’s better to make a big demand, which scares the other party, while at the same time fooling them, leading them to wrongly estimate Jason’s plan.” Ŗ𝔞𝐍Ỗ𝔟Ès̈
Euler’s explanation interrupted Lauren Delder.
"I see.”
"But…”
"Whether or not the other party believes it, they would agree, because under the threat of death, they are willing to make various ‘self-rescue’ attempts.”
"Even knowing that Jason was speaking insincerely, they would agree.”
"Simply put, the other party just needs an excuse.”
"Anything more?”
"That would be shifting responsibility.”
Andek, the deputy commander of the ‘Freedom Army’, continued, leaving Lauren Delder bewildered once again.
Previously he thought he understood.
But why does he now feel confused again?
"He should be the one responsible for direct contact with ‘Jing’.”
"Now that there’s a problem with ‘Jing’, do you think he’ll be implicated?”
The ‘old man’ sighed and asked Lauren Delder.
Lauren Delder nodded immediately.
As the person in charge.
With his own partner betraying him, of course, he would be under thorough investigation.
He might even be directly accused of being an accomplice.
If this were in the Lower City District, confirming this would be enough to take the opponent out.
Any further action?
It would involve torture and other harsh methods.
"So, he must save himself.”
"He would say he noticed ‘Jing’s’ odd behavior long ago, but without evidence, he dared not act recklessly, so he sent ‘Jason’, a resident of ‘Uptown’, to keep an eye on ‘Jing’.”
"Finally, under his wise leadership, Jason discovered something was amiss and managed to a certain extent to hinder ‘Jing’.
"But ‘Jing’ was too cunning, he tried his best, but at a critical moment, Jason made a mistake, allowing ‘Jing’ to escape.”
"For this, he had to activate a backup plan, first letting Jason become an agent in the Lower City District, and then sending elites to mitigate the potential disadvantages there.”
The ‘old man’ continued to explain to the puzzled Lauren Delder.
Lauren Delder’s eyes widened.
He had not expected it to turn out this way.
"Is this really how it is?!”
Lauren Delder muttered to himself.
"Do you believe, now the files on ‘Jason’ are already prepared?”
"And they are flawless.”
The ‘old man’ spoke with a smirk.
He was all too familiar with this kind of tactic.
He’d used it himself more than once before.
"So, what do we do?”
Lauren Delder turned to look at Jason.
Even though others had said so much, Lauren Delder believed they wouldn’t deceive someone as naive as him.
But regardless of how much others said, when it came to action, he would only listen to Jason.
Whatever Jason asked him to do, he would do.
Following Jason closely was the right choice.
"Wait for detailed information on Sector 30.”
Jason responded.
"What about those ‘assistants’?”
"These guys must have come with orders.”
"They will monitor us, and are we really going to stop those bastards trying to make a fortune?”
"With such huge profits involved, if stopped, these bastards might really gamble their lives.”
Lauren Delder looked worried.
"Those bastards are not a problem for now.”
Jason said with certainty.
He had previously swept through the area 10 kilometers from the landmark, clearing out any monsters.
As long as those guys didn’t act hastily, they should be able to hold out for a while.
The concern wasn’t for those reckless idiots.
But rather, worrying that these idiots might enable ‘Jing’s plan to succeed.
That’s the real issue.
"As for those ‘assistants’?”
"Unluckily, after handing over the information, just as we were about to take action, we encountered ‘Jing’s retaliatory attack, leaving all those ‘assistants’ dead.”
Jason said earnestly.
His expression was extremely sincere, as if he were stating facts.
"Exactly.”
"We resisted tenaciously.”
"But the losses were too heavy, we need ‘Uptown’ to quickly send a batch of medical supplies to treat our wounded, and more than enough weapons and ammunition to arm more of our comrades, to fend off ‘Jing’s attacks.”
Upon hearing Jason’s words, Andek, the deputy commander of the ‘Freedom Army’, had his eyes light up and eagerly said.
Then, Andek looked pitifully at Jason.
"We’re allies, right?”
"Benefits are mutual!”
"Good things can be shared as well!”
"How about splitting it half and half?”
You can hardly imagine the disgust when a bearded man looks at you so pathetically.
At least, Jason couldn’t handle it.
It was a bit nauseating.
"Okay, since you’re planning to treat me to a meal.”
Jason replied.
A meal invitation?
Not anything else?
Andek was momentarily stunned, then chuckled silently.
He thought this was just a polite way of expressing it by Jason.
What a modest and good-natured person.
He had expected Jason to haggle.
Unexpectedly, he agreed outright.
The deputy commander of the ‘Freedom Army’ inwardly sighed and made what he would later come to regret as his most regretful statement in nearly ten years—
"We will face difficult times ahead, face even more dangerous wars, but now!”
"We have achieved a staged victory!”
"So…”
"Throw a banquet! Celebrate!”
"Jason, eat to your heart’s content, don’t be shy!”
