Captulo 1509: Chapter 27: Infinity!
Watching Jason’s gesture, “the old man” and Lauren Delder instantly understood.
That’s right!
Nightless City is not just the Lower City District within the Ring City, but also the coveted Uptown.
There are resources, knowledge, and wealth that the Lower City District does not possess.
If the rulers of Uptown take action, wouldn’t everything in front of us be easily resolved soon?
Thinking of this, “the old man” and Lauren Delder both looked pleased.
However, soon “the old man” and Lauren Delder keenly noticed that Jason had no joy at all.
Instead…
He grew even grimmer?"The old man” fell directly into contemplation.
Lauren Delder scratched his head and then straightforwardly asked.
"What’s wrong, Jason?”
"Is there something amiss?”
Since he habitually classified himself as not very smart, Lauren Delder found that some worries quickly drifted away.
Whenever he encountered a problem, he just had to ask.
It saved energy and protected his remaining hair.
Although the amount of hair could still not reach the level for a middle or side parting, it has indeed not decreased further — after all, there are only a dozen or so strands, which, counted carefully, are all too obvious.
"What do you think Jing went through all this trouble for?”
"Is it really just for the people of the Lower City District within Nightless City’s Ring City?”
"If it’s really for these people, Jing would have completed the absolute kill long ago.”
"For Jing, the opponent from beginning to end has always been the bigwigs of Uptown in Nightless City — including us, the Freedom Army, we have never been regarded as opponents, only as ‘pieces’ and ‘aids’ to achieve the final objective.”
Jason sighed.
Jing is truly the most challenging opponent he has ever encountered.
Not only because of his sinister and cunning nature but also because he planned for so long.
Five years?
Ten years?
Or even longer?
And his strength is definitely not weak.
The power Jing showed before was probably just what he wanted to display.
And his real strength?
If it erupts, it might surprise everyone.
That should be Jing’s other hidden card.
Upon hearing Jason’s words, Lauren Delder’s ugly face twitched.
Once again, this former collaborator of a bigwig let out a wail from the bottom of his heart.
Even such a smart person as Jason is just a pawn and an aid.
Then for someone like me who isn’t very smart?
Just a pebble picked up at random?
No.
Pebbles have weight.
Someone like me is probably just weeds.
Having no weight at all, blown away by the wind.
Once again “adjusting” his position, Lauren Delder quickly came to his senses — inevitably, the first time, he couldn’t return to reality for a long time, but after the first time, it became quicker.
Because he’s used to it.
Mixed with a tinge of bitterness.
Eventually, even the bitterness became familiar.
At this moment, Lauren Delder is very self-aware.
Why bitter?
Isn’t it because of unwillingness?
But what’s there to be unwilling about for someone who isn’t very smart?
Is it really that hard to admit your weaknesses?
It’s not difficult.
Lauren Delder took a deep breath and spoke again.
"Jing hasn’t succeeded, has he?”
Lauren Delder asked what worried him most.
"Think about the ‘Law Enforcement Team’ we encountered before.”
"The old man” sighed.
Then, without waiting for Lauren Delder to speak again, “the old man” continued.
"That bastard Jing used a reason that the bigwigs in Uptown Nightless City couldn’t refuse, making these bigwigs believe that what he’s doing is right and beneficial to them.”
"Simply put, even if we told those Uptown bigwigs everything we know, the current situation wouldn’t change.”
"In fact, those bigwigs would even fan the flames.”
"Making everything even more unmanageable.”
"The old man” sighed once more.
"Why?”
"Do they completely disregard the Lower City District?”
Lauren Delder was puzzled.
"Of course, they disregard it.”
"To those bigwigs, what does the Lower City District of Nightless City count for?”
"As long as Uptown is fine, it’s a time of peace.”
"The old man’s bitter smile grew more intense, making him look like he had eaten a bitter melon.
Lauren Delder was extremely annoyed.
He opened his mouth to curse incessantly.
Ultimately, only one phrase remained —
"They don’t think of the Lower City District’s residents as human at all.”
"That’s right.”
"In the eyes of those bigwigs in Uptown, the Lower City District’s residents are just like slaves… no, even less than slaves.”
"At least slaves are still one of the owner’s assets, and discarding them requires consideration.”
"And us?”
"Not even worth considering.”
"Just daily consumption.”
"The old man” at this moment, can hardly be called bitter, it’s more tinged with despair.
Jing controls the “Path to Paradise” to Uptown, the things he’s done, don’t people in Uptown know?
They surely know.
Yet, they tacitly approved.
Because, in the eyes of the bigwigs in Uptown, people from the Lower City District are indeed insignificant.
Their usual attitude speaks for itself.
Expect them to change at such a crucial moment?
Dream on.
In the past, “the old man,” when facing Uptown, was always reluctant to face the truth, always finding various excuses to comfort and numb himself.
