But now?
It’s impossible.
He lifted his head, powerlessly looking at the sky.
As if he wanted to see what Uptown looked like.
See how the big figures in Uptown looked down on them, the residents of the Lower City District.
"Aren’t they afraid we’ll overthrow them?”
Lauren Delder stopped as soon as he said those words.
This former collaborator of the big figures realized it.
The big figures in Uptown certainly weren’t afraid.What was there to be afraid of for Uptown, which controlled food, water, medicine, weapons, and other resources?
Just cutting off one or two of these would throw the Lower City District into chaos.
Not to mention, Uptown possessed ‘Extraordinary Power’.
Not the flawed, hit-or-miss kind found in the Lower City District.
But truly complete ‘Extraordinary Power’.
No need for everyone to master it.
As long as some people have mastered it.
That creates a crushing force on the Lower City District.
And with the character of the residents of the Lower City District, they have no courage to resist when facing the former, coupled with the latter… they have nothing left but to grovel.
They are absolutely willing to be dogs just to survive.
When the master tells them who to bite, they bite.
They absolutely won’t resist.
Moreover, whoever dares to resist, without needing the master’s order, they’ll tear that person apart.
Thinking of such a scenario, Lauren Delder’s ugly face twisted together.
Then, this former collaborator of the big figures suddenly thought of something.
"Could it be that the atmosphere in the Lower City District was also deliberately created by Uptown?”
Lauren Delder asked.
The ‘old man’ trembled in his body.
He retracted his gaze from the sky, blankly staring at Lauren Delder, speaking in an almost whispering tone.
"The Ring City was far more prosperous back then than it is now, with schools, hospitals, and even some welfare institutions. When did it become like this?” ℝА𐌽𝘖𝐁ÊṦ
"It was war!”
"It was that sudden war back then!”
The ‘old man’ questioned and answered himself.
"War?”
"Could it be another war that bastard ‘Jing’ was involved in?”
Lauren Delder widened his eyes, seemingly a bit unbelieving.
"Since the time I was born, ‘Nightless City’ has only experienced one war, which should be the war that ‘Jing’ was involved in.”
The ‘old man’ stated truthfully.
"Damn it!”
The annoyed Lauren Delder started cursing again.
Lauren Delder had never hated a person as much as he did now.
Regarding ‘Jing’, setting aside their respective stances, Lauren Delder initially had no aversion.
Because under the same circumstances, he would have acted even more excessively.
But upon knowing that the Lower City District within the Ring City of ‘Nightless City’ became like this because of him, Lauren Delder began to hate this person from the bottom of his heart.
He knew that if the Lower City District within the Ring City of ‘Nightless City’ were still like it was back then, he would never have ended up in such a miserable condition.
Though not very smart, had he received a decent education, he could have at least lived well in such a stable environment and might even have become a doctor or a lawyer.
And now?
Saying he’s human would be more like saying he’s a monster.
Bam!
Lauren Delder punched the wall beside him.
Instantly, the wall shattered and began to collapse.
As the dust danced in the air, Jason remained calm.
Since deducing that ‘Jing’ had long been prepared for this, Jason had anticipated it.
As for what caused ‘Jing’ to undergo such a transformation, Jason currently did not know.
But did the change start?
Did it only change when the last war started?
It probably began even earlier.
Jason speculated.
Recalling that diary of ‘Kulin’, the owner of the secret passage.
That person was already a student of ‘Jing’ decades before the war.
Back then ‘Jing’ wasn’t ‘Jing’.
But a teacher named Kande in the Lower City District within the Ring City.
A teacher with a recommendation quota.
So ‘Kulin’ was naturally not the first student to be recommended.
According to the diary of this owner of the secret passage, after killing ‘Kande’, many of ‘Kande’s students came looking for trouble with him.
It was evident these students were also students who had been recommended.
Now!
What happened to these students?
Are they hiding in the Lower City District within the Ring City of ‘Nightless City’?
Or are they already retired in Uptown of ‘Nightless City’?
Or perhaps…
They hold high positions?
Jason thought, a corner of his mouth slowly curling up.
He suddenly understood why ‘Kande’ had to die.
Too many people had seen ‘Kande’.
It was impossible for him to move freely.
So, ‘Jing’ appeared.
Moreover, ‘Kande’ must have arranged an identity for ‘Jing’.
His own student.
Their own nephews and nieces.
Or perhaps, both at the same time.
It might not match the notebook Kulin saw, but that notebook was seen by Kulin, and it certainly wasn’t part of Jing’s plans—Jing, such a person, would only show you what he wanted you to see.
Because it would be advantageous to him.
It would draw everyone into his rhythm.
Kulin back then was no exception.
And the current ones are no exception.
The only difference is, Kulin eventually became a pawn assisting Jing.
The real Kulin?
He’s probably long dead.
And them?
They still have a chance.
"Contact Euler.”
Jason said.
After forming a cooperation, they naturally exchanged contact information.
A bit primitive.
But quite effective.
In a hidden contact point in District 29, a Freedom Army warrior received Jason and his two companions.
With Euler’s token, and after preliminarily verifying their identities via radio, Jason and the others received a warm welcome.
An independent room.
Though the furnishings were old, they were tidied up very well.
And, there was bread and water.
The former was not moldy.
The latter had no off taste.
"Lord Euler will be back soon. Please wait a moment, you three.”
"If you need anything, just find me.”
"I’ll be right above the secret chamber.”
The Freedom Army warrior said and then left after placing three blankets down.
"The bread is nice.”
"I think it was just baked.”
Lauren Delder picked up the slightly warm bread and said.
"Celebrating, huh?”
"Taking down Jing’s lair, it’s indeed worth celebrating.”
The old man who once joined the Freedom Army knew well that their supplies were nowhere near abundant.
It was like this back then.
And it might be even tougher now.
Under such conditions, they still baked bread.
Celebration must be the only possibility.
Is there anything better than food to bring joy?
The food at a banquet, naturally.
It fills participants with excitement amidst joy.
And makes them memorable.
Even after ten years, they will speak of it with relish.
But if such a banquet turns into a chaos…
That would be disastrous.
"Do you think Jing has any backup plans for the Freedom Army?”
The old man suddenly asked.
Lauren Delder, who was eating bread, paused.
Then, blinked and looked toward Jason.
Right now, he only knew the bread was soft and tasty, with bits of seaweed added for more aroma.
As for other matters?
He’d listen to Jason.
"Obviously.”
Jason said while tearing bread and putting it in his mouth.
There’s no way Jing wouldn’t have plans.
Especially under the premise that his lair was destroyed.
He would definitely retaliate fiercely against the Freedom Army.
And based on his style.
Such retaliation would surely be devastating.
"Should we warn Euler?”
The old man asked tentatively.
If it were just him, he’d definitely notify Euler.
But now there were three of them.
He couldn’t let his actions affect the other two.
"I’ll go with what Jason says.”
Lauren Delder said immediately.
He was crystal clear about his position.
Handling chores usually.
Relying on Jason at critical moments.
"I have no objections.”
Jason said.
The old man immediately got up and went upstairs.
About ten minutes later, the old man returned, with a somber face and shock in his eyes.
Seeing Jason and Lauren Delder, the old man took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions before speaking—
"The Freedom Army’s leader has been assassinated.”
"The assassin is…”
"Euler.”
