Chapter 1517: The Most Important Thing in Life!
Andek nodded without hesitation in response to Jason’s question.
Regarding District 30, he and the ‘Freedom Army’ had no need to conceal anything.
Because, these are the facts.
The ‘Freedom Army’ naturally had its focus on District 30.
They even sent people to explore District 30.
However, the results were unsatisfactory.
Not much useful information was gathered; instead, two entire teams of warriors vanished within.
This led Andek and Lag at the time to abandon further exploration of District 30.
After all, training a qualified warrior for the ‘Freedom Army’ requires considerable energy and time.
Especially with a decreasing pool of candidates for warriors.Unnecessary loss is essential.
Exploring District 30 naturally became one of the unnecessary losses.
This deputy leader of the ‘Freedom Army’ didn’t hide it and disclosed everything to Jason.
"That’s how it is.”
Jason nodded, then looked at Andek, continuing to ask: “Is there equipment in this building that can contact the ‘Uptown’?”
‘Jing’ is the representative of ‘Uptown’ in the Lower City District within Ring City.
Since he’s a representative, communication is a necessity.
Using secret techniques is discreet, but consumes a lot of various materials.
It’s far less convenient than communication devices and the like.
Therefore, Jason speculates, in this building, inside Jing’s nest, there’s bound to be a communication device.
"There is.”
Andek answered first, then seemed puzzled.
"You want it, Jason?”
Andek asked tentatively.
"I need to talk to someone from ‘Uptown.’
Jason said.
Andek hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.
"Alright.”
Andek’s feelings toward ‘Uptown’ are very complex.
There’s hatred.
This is without doubt.
What is the freedom they’re pursuing?
The freedom of the Lower City District within the Nightless City’s Ring City?
It’s not like that.
The freedom they’re pursuing is for the Lower City District in Nightless City to break free from Uptown’s control and gain genuine freedom.
To escape Uptown’s enslavement.
Yet, the person who established such an organization is actually from Uptown.
Lag is.
The former Kande, in a certain sense, is too.
This leaves Andek a bit bewildered.
He doesn’t know how to perceive Uptown.
Or better yet…
How many people in Uptown are like Lag?
Facing a group of slave masters, Andek would unhesitatingly kill them indiscriminately.
However, when there are some virtuous people with beliefs among these imagined slave masters, Andek hesitates.
He needs to discern.
Needs to unravel.
As for outright elimination?
He won’t.
His principles don’t allow him to do so.
Yet, directly contacting Uptown as the deputy leader of the Freedom Army seems abrupt.
Lots of things can become complicated.
Thus, when Jason voluntarily proposed contacting Uptown, Andek agreed.
"Are you just trying to understand District 30?”
Andek confirmed again.
"Yes.”
"Just to inquire about District 30.”
Jason answered confidently.
He truly only wants to understand District 30.
As for other hidden thoughts?
None.
In the eyes of a gourmet, what could be more important than food?
The power, money, beauties that ordinary people covet.
For Jason, they are not as satisfying as a large chicken leg—preferably fried, dipped with cumin, pepper, and sea pepper, biting into the crispy outside and tender inside, yet oozing oil. ꞦᴀΝổΒÊṠ
Andek, the deputy leader of the ‘Freedom Army,’ stared at Jason for three or four seconds.
Finally, he nodded.
"Follow me.”
Andek turned towards the elevator.
Jason followed him.
‘Old man’ and Lauren Delder followed closely.
Neither of them said much.
Or rather, both have full confidence in Jason.
Both firmly believe Jason can tackle everything.
And Euler?
Also followed.
However, the leader of the ‘Freedom Army’ in District 29 was still not in good spirits.
Not just sluggish but also confused.
This is a self-confusion, something others cannot rescue.
He must rely on himself.
Euler clearly knows this too.
He continuously used the breathing technique taught by Lag to clear the thoughts in his mind, helping him become more focused.
Only when thinking of Lag.
Euler’s breath became chaotic.
So rapid it causes him to choke and cough repeatedly.
Lauren Delder turned his head, looking at Euler and asked.
"Are you okay?”
Lauren Delder remembers very well the delicious toasted bread he once had at Euler’s place.
Rightly so, even for the sake of the toasted bread, he should ask.
"I’m fine.”
Euler shook his head, showing a helpless, bitter smile with a trace of enigmatic emotion.
Lauren Delder was taken aback.
Helplessness, bitterness, he didn’t understand.
But the trace of enigmatic emotion, Lauren Delder understood.
Because, he once had the same smile.
It was when he realized he had become a pawn of ‘Jing.’
It was when he discovered he was far less clever than imagined.
It was when he realized his supposed strength was all for show.
"Isn’t it frustrating?”
Lauren Delder asked.
The sudden question made Euler pause.
Truth be told, Lauren Delder’s earlier inquiry already surprised Euler.
