Captulo 1514: Chapter 29: Retribution! (Part 2) Andek did not refuse. In fact, the purpose of the Freedom Army’s deputy leader in bringing Jason and the others here was to let them meet Euler. Euler was unwilling to speak to them. But facing Jason and the others, maybe he would be willing to say something. That was truly an unexpected surprise. Regarding ‘Oldman’, the owner of the ‘Posthouse’, Andek had heard about him, but he never connected him with his own friend. Until an incident occurred, and with detailed information gathering, it was finally confirmed. Hmm… looks a bit ugly. Seems a bit less intelligent. Probably just a regular Nightless City resident. Andek didn’t think much about it. After all, Lauren Delder himself didn’t think much about it either. Just as Jason was scouting the scene, Lauren Delder silently observed. He was completely unfamiliar with these, besides seeing burn marks, he couldn’t ‘see’ anything else. Jason was going to meet Euler. He had no objection, as long as he could follow Jason. Of course, he had some thoughts. "Do you think your old friend will feed us?” Lauren Delder quietly asked ‘Oldman’. ‘Oldman’ immediately rolled his eyes. Before ‘Oldman’ could respond, Andek, the Freedom Army’s deputy leader, spoke directly: “Definitely. Though not lavish, you’ll surely be full.” "Of course, ‘Oldman’ and Jason the same for you.” "After this matter is settled, you can eat without restraint.” Lauren Delder’s eyes brightened upon hearing this promise. ‘Oldman’ just smiled awkwardly. Jason paused momentarily in his stride, then walked faster. Andek noticed this but didn’t care. In the view of the Freedom Army’s deputy leader, they had just seized a large batch of supplies. Apart from the necessary supplies and those allocated for the civilians, plenty remained. 𝐑аΝó𝔟ƐṨ Inviting these three for a meal posed no problem. It’s not a big banquet after all. No need to worry about gossip. And besides, they were just three people; it’s unlikely they could finish all the food. Under Andek’s lead, the group reached the other side of the first floor. The security here was tighter than the previous site. Each Freedom Army warrior stood guard here, their faces showed anger and more confusion. These warriors with firm beliefs felt hesitant. Seeing this, Andek frowned. He knew he must intervene. "Leave two people, everyone else, go patrol.” "I will give everyone an explanation about Lag’s matter.” "Yes, Deputy Leader!” The warriors saluted and left, leaving only the two acknowledged strongest warriors guarding the door. Andek pushed the door open and entered, followed by Jason and the others. This room was carefully chosen. The vents were completely sealed. The only entrance and exit was the door. Euler was sitting in the chair, without restraints, and there was no torture. Euler raised his head to see Andek walking in, without more words, only said. "Shoot me, I killed Lag.” Andek’s face twitched in anger, stepping forward, and kicked Euler hard. Euler fell face-down on the ground, laying there motionless. "I’ll wait for you outside.” "I’m afraid if I stay, I’ll really kill this bastard.” After saying this, the Freedom Army’s deputy leader turned and exited the room, closing the door in passing. "Euler, what exactly happened?” Euler turned over, sat upright, leaning against the wall without getting up, not looking at ‘Oldman’, nor at Lauren Delder, simply stared at Jason and said: “I want to talk to you.” Jason nodded slightly. ‘Oldman’ and Lauren Delder exchanged glances and wisely walked out. The door closed once more. Euler raised his hand and gestured. A secret technique similar to Silence Technique enveloped the entire room. After completing all this, Euler displayed a smile, more unpleasant than crying. He let out a long sigh. "You know everything now, don’t you?” The question, though seemingly out of context, did not cause Jason any discomfort. The life in ‘Nightless City’ and the experiences in the replica world had long accustomed him to stay calm and maintain a sense of detachment. This detachment led to Euler’s misunderstanding. "You really know about the things concerning the Leader.” "And, you sought my help before just to test me, right?” As Euler spoke, a hint of annoyance appeared in his gaze towards Jason. But soon, this annoyance faded. What remained was helplessness. "Lag is the kindest person I’ve ever met, and also the strongest. Despite his immense strength, he’s exceptionally kind, never getting angry at us for contradicting or offending him; he only discusses matters thoroughly, never fixating on winning or losing, just right or wrong. He would teach us Mystical Side’s knowledge, and sometimes tell us some stories…” "He is the best Leader!” "I always regarded him as a brother, a father!” "Do you know how many times the Freedom Army was on the brink of collapse?” "Each time, it was Lag who kept everyone going!” "He encouraged us every single time.” "Every time, he told us not to give up.” "Why would he give up?” "Even if he’s from Uptown, what does it matter?” The last sentence was almost a roar from Euler. Lag, Leader of the Freedom Army, from Nightless City’s Uptown?! Upon hearing this news, the shock in Jason’s heart almost made it impossible for him to maintain his calm facade. Jason was not surprised by people from Uptown entering the Lower City District. There are unavoidable circumstances everywhere. However, the fact that someone from Uptown entered the Lower City District and became the Leader of the Freedom Army is utterly astonishing. A husky infiltrating a wolf pack and becoming the wolf king is enough to amaze people. But it pales in comparison to a true wolf king blending into a husky pack and happily eating dog food, causing shock. "Nightless City’s Uptown, are they also concerned with the Freedom Army?” Jason pondered silently. Since Uptown has Jing as an agent in Nightless City’s Lower City District. Naturally, the Lower City District is under their watch. Similarly, does Jing’s attitude reflect Uptown’s stance towards the Freedom Army? Under such a premise, someone from Uptown joins the Freedom Army, making it worth pondering. Is it for subversion? Is it for destruction? Jason’s thoughts raced. And Euler continued to speak. "You were ordered to infiltrate the Freedom Army, that’s a fact, but you sincerely became a member of the Freedom Army, leading the Freedom Army to escape countless crises, that’s also a fact.” "You say it was tormenting.” "But no matter how agonizing, it shouldn’t…” "You’ve always said, warriors must be strong.” "But what about you?” "Where’s your strength?” As though the Leader of the Freedom Army was right in front of him. As for the word hidden in his speech. The earlier clues were all pointing in that direction. But Lag’s usual image was so ingrained in people’s hearts that it was hard to believe. Moreover, Jason didn’t believe Lag would suddenly collapse. After all these years, no matter how much suffering, resistance would form. One would get used to it too. However, choosing suicide after suddenly achieving a stage victory is illogical. But if this is Jing’s backup plan? If this is Jing’s revenge? This place, formerly Jing’s den. This place, now the base of the Freedom Army. The thoroughly cleaned remnants. Everything starts to connect. Jason pondered for a moment and said— "It’s Jing, isn’t it?”
