Chapter 1524: Older Folks Choose the Battle Style That Suits Them Best! (2)
If it were another time, Lauren Delder would never share the roasted chicken with anyone.
But this time is different.
He survived thanks to Jason.
‘Old man’ is also an important partner.
He knows all this.
Therefore, he feels he should do something.
Not for anything else.
Just because if he doesn’t do something, he always feels uncomfortable inside.
The ‘old man’ was taken aback, taking the chicken leg.
Then, watching Lauren Delder bring the remaining roasted chicken to Jason, he smiled and handed the uneaten sandwich beside him to the returning Lauren Delder."I’m getting old, can’t eat much.”
"A chicken leg is enough for me.”
"The sandwich is yours, you’d better add some sauce, it’ll taste better.”
The ‘old man’ said.
Lauren Delder scratched his semi-transparent bald head.
He didn’t quite know what to say.
Finally, he took the sandwich.
Following the ‘old man’s advice, he added more sauce.
Hmm, delicious.
Better than before.
After finishing the sandwich, Lauren Delder wiped his mouth and opened a can of real meat.
The sandwich and roasted chicken are the same.
Both are rationed.
However, there is a sufficient supply of real meat cans.
"It’s a pity there’s no bread left.”
As he ate, Lauren Delder said.
"Compared to bread which is hard to preserve, cans are more popular.”
"The Lower City District has no direct access to flour, only relying on the Uptown, the same goes for cans, every time flour and cans appear, it’s the time for ‘Jing’ to act.”
"All those bosses, including myself, are like dogs, being manipulated by the other side.”
The ‘old man’ chuckled self-mockingly.
He explained to Lauren Delder at the same time.
“‘Jing’ is really a piece of work.”
Lauren Delder hadn’t encountered them before, but he could guess the intrigues and bloody conflicts among these street bosses every time ‘material’ appears.
Those days were also when there were most meat cans.
Not real meat cans.
Just meat cans.
“‘Jing’ is like a livestock manager, perfectly controlling our numbers, not too many, not too few.”
"I used to think it was just a balancing tactic from the other side.”
"And now?”
"That guy should have been preparing something all along.”
The ‘old man’ said.
"Jason said it’s a Barrier, but surely, the Uptown people aren’t foolish enough to ignore the budding in Lower City District’s center?”
Lauren Delder frowned.
Because he thought of the shadow on the screen.
The opponent’s performance seemed similar to his, not very smart, and hasn’t figured out ‘Jing’s true purpose for so long.
No!
Even more stupid than him.
At least he knows there should be a backup plan.
And the other side?
If it weren’t for Jason’s appearance.
At this time, they would probably have been executed.
"Fight… it’s inevitable.”
As Lauren Delder was still thinking, the ‘old man’ suddenly spoke up.
The former was stunned for a moment, only then realizing that Jason had somehow already stopped.
A thousand cans, just right.
It’s not because he’s full.
Just that eating more would disrupt the entire ‘Freedom Army’s predetermined plan.
That ‘Freedom Army’ deputy leader would likely hit the wall.
Know when to stop.
Leave a margin in life.
Jason understands this kind of reasoning.
It’s definitely not because he sensed six relatively strong presences approaching.
Jason wiped his mouth and got up to walk outside.
Lauren Delder swallowed the heated real meat can in front of him and followed along with the ‘old man’.
Outside, Andek was about to inform Jason of the report he received.
Seeing Jason walking out, he was momentarily stunned, then immediately said.
"Those ‘assistants’ have arrived.”
"Two and a half hours, half an hour earlier than scheduled, it seems the other side is more impatient than expected.”
Andek laughed.
Full of sarcasm.
"When it comes to their own lives, the Uptown people have always been swift.”
The ‘old man’ remarked.
He then added another line.
"Aren’t we the same?”
"If I didn’t have detailed information about you, I would have thought that after leaving the ‘Freedom Army’, you became a philosopher——is it so leisurely at the ‘House of Couriers’?”
"Thinking about life every day?”
Facing the words of his friend, the ‘Old Man’, Andek couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
"I’m just stating a fact that an ordinary person can see.”
"Not the ‘Freedom Army’.
"It’s the deepest insight of someone who was once in the ‘Freedom Army’, now an ordinary person.”
The ‘Old Man’ laughed.
Andek rolled his eyes again.
Then, this already departed ‘Freedom Army’ Deputy Leader looked outside from the front door on the first floor.
Six men, cleanly dressed, well-groomed faces, all wearing white suits and white hats, were approaching under the escort of a team of ‘Freedom Army’ warriors.
The six raised their heads slightly.
They didn’t bother to look around.
There was a thick contempt in their eyes.
And a hint of…
Disdain.
They seemed very unsatisfied with their presence here.
And they seemed to look down on the surrounding ‘Freedom Army’ warriors. .
In fact, that was the case.
Any one of these six ‘collaborators’ could easily wipe out this entire twelve-person squad of ‘Freedom Army’ warriors.
Even though they were already the elites of the ‘Freedom Army’.
However, resources were the biggest problem.
Whether they were resources related to ‘mysterious knowledge’.
Or ‘mysterious items’ related to ‘mysterious knowledge’, the ‘Freedom Army’ warriors were far behind these six people.
It’s completely like heaven and earth.
Not even on the same level.
To this, Andek would not deny it.
Perhaps the ‘Freedom Army’ warriors are already carefully selected, but don’t these ‘collaborators’ also come from the same process?
"That guy is more capable than expected, huh?”
Saying this, Andek walked down the steps.
He walked straight towards the six.
While walking, he smoked a cigar in large puffs.
A cigar the thickness of a thumb quickly burned away a large section.
"Andek?”
"The person we’re looking for isn’t you.”
"It’s Jason.”
The leader of the six said coldly, preparing to bypass Andek and move towards Jason with his five subordinates.
Andek, who was still somewhat aggressive, suddenly grinned.
Then, he just stepped aside.
The six ‘collaborators’ from Uptown were momentarily stunned.
Afterward, the contempt in their eyes grew even stronger.
Is this the Deputy Leader of the ‘Freedom Army’?
Nothing impressive at all.
After walking unhindered to Jason, the leader of the six looked at Jason.
"This is the information about Area 30 that Master ‘Te’ asked me to give you.”
"When do you plan to take action?”
"Area 30 has at least ten thousand people already pouring in now.”
The opponent looked up at Jason on the steps.
This posture made the opposite party uncomfortable.
Therefore, the opponent’s eyebrows involuntarily furrowed.
Jason’s eyebrows also furrowed.
Accurately grasping the number of people entering Area 30.
Is someone mingling among them?
Or is there some special surveillance method?
The next moment, Jason leaned towards the latter.
Even if someone was mingling among them, it’s impossible to have such an accurate count.
So, is there some kind of surveillance near the gate from Area 29 to 30?
Jason analyzed the information in the opponent’s words.
And such an indifferent attitude made the six ‘collaborators’ furious.
The leader’s expression was especially filled with anger.
But then, he was stunned.
Only to see the ‘Old Man’ standing beside Jason step forward elegantly, raising his right hand from above his head to draw one circle after another, and finally placing it on his chest as he bowed.
Everything from the trajectory to the fingers like flowers, or the angle of the bow, was impeccable.
A very standard etiquette.
Facing such etiquette, the six ‘collaborators’ from Uptown nearly instinctively removed their hats and bowed in return.
They wouldn’t let the monkeys from the Lower City District look down on them.
They had to prove their own etiquette.
Then, just at the moment when the six were bowing in return—
Andek’s smoke arm struck.
Lauren Delder’s silk thread flashed.
Jason raised his hand, clenching his fist.
The surrounding ‘Freedom Army’ warriors raised their guns and pulled the trigger.
Ratatat!
