Chapter 1478: Long Time No See!
In the shadows, Jason walked side by side with Lauren Delder.
Every now and then, Lauren Delder would cast a strange glance at Jason.
It was truly bizarre!
Lauren Delder had never met anyone like Jason before.
Clearly tall and imposing to the point of intimidation, yet resembling a shadow dancer, silently moving within the shadows. Most importantly, he could effortlessly find the places where gangs stored food, water, medicine, and other supplies.
Wasn’t he supposed to be the best ‘courier’ in the ‘Nightless City’?
Why does it feel like he’s the best ‘golden finger’ in the ‘Nightless City’?
No, no!
Even the best ‘golden finger’ in the ‘Nightless City’ can’t compare to Jason.
Because the other party absolutely doesn’t have Jason’s combat skills.As expected…
I was truly arrogant and conceited before.
Someone like Jason hides his true self, yet I, having barely touched ‘extraordinary power’, became conceited and thought I was invincible. To have survived is truly fortunate.
In a short time, Lauren Delder’s self-confidence was crushed again, leading to a sigh of admiration.
He could guarantee that Jason also possessed ‘extraordinary power’.
And one much deeper and more profound than his own.
But what did Jason do?
Stay hidden in that run-down house on Ter Street, revealing no flaws, and only showing his fangs at the last moment.
And what did he do?
As soon as he got such ‘extraordinary power’, he couldn’t wait for the whole world to know how different he was.
Sigh!
Comparing oneself to others is truly discouraging.
Lauren Delder couldn’t help but sigh.
The gap between him and Jason was truly vast.
It wasn’t about strength, but about character.
"Jason, you’ve already mastered ‘extraordinary power’, why are you still willing to be a ‘courier’?”
Lauren Delder finally couldn’t hold back and asked tentatively.
He deliberately avoided asking how Jason obtained ‘extraordinary power’, as it was inherently secretive, and simply inquired about how Jason adapted to living an ordinary life despite being extraordinary.
He hoped to learn something from it.
Even if just a little.
For him now, it would be quite beneficial.
"Because I have no choice.”
Jason replied in this way.
Of course, he couldn’t say that since obtaining ‘extraordinary power’, not even ten hours had passed.
In fact, one could say that in terms of ‘extraordinary power’, he’d only experienced six hours.
The rest were in the ‘Nightless City’.
Why does it always feel like completing all side quests in a game and starting to breeze through the main quest?
An illusion!
It must be an illusion!
That ‘Jing’ doesn’t seem like someone who can be easily breezed through.
The power that was shown made Jason realize that the other party truly ‘controls’ the lower city Ring City District of the ‘Nightless City’.
Also, the cunning and tactics the other party exhibited justified the reputation of being a ‘big figure’.
Therefore, he needed to be more cautious.
Until he figured out the other party’s true strength, caution was essential.
After all, the disappearance of the 26th District was enough to make Jason vigilant.
And there were those words from ‘Kulin’, the owner of the secret passage.
Although the crucial parts were surely lies, most of it was true.
This means that ‘Jing’ had long come into contact with ‘extraordinary power’, mastering ‘mysterious knowledge’.
Moreover, the other party controlled the entire lower city Ring City District of the ‘Nightless City’.
Having such resources as backup.
What level of strength has the other party reached?
Jason couldn’t estimate.
Thus, Jason decided to go to the 30th District.
Not only because there are enough monsters there, possibly a ‘food warehouse’, but also because it’s related to ‘Jing’, and the party continuously observed that area closely.
Jason needed to go there to find more information.
Lauren Delder didn’t know any of this.
Upon hearing Jason’s words ‘because I have no choice’, Lauren Delder fell into contemplation.
When would one have no choice?
Obviously, only when compelled by necessity.
Given Jason’s displayed strength, what could be so compelling?
His boss ‘Old Man’?
Lauren Delder had learned about this boss.
Because, among many bosses, ‘Old Man’ had a fairly good reputation. At that time, he was wandering on the street looking to join a powerful backing, but naturally, he wanted the biggest one.
So, he joined the gang ‘Jing’ was part of.
But because of this, he knew a lot about the bosses in the 16th District.
‘Old Man’ definitely didn’t possess ‘extraordinary power’.
This means that ‘Old Man’ didn’t have the ability, nor the qualification, to force Jason to do anything.
If not ‘Old Man’, then who?
‘Jing’?
Jason, hidden under ‘Old Man’s’ wing, couldn’t possibly face ‘Jing’ directly… Wait!
Concealment!
In an instant, Lauren Delder felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Despite having strong abilities, hiding under someone less powerful, thus avoiding potential troubles; even if troubles arise, they’re just hassles of a ‘lesser’ degree, which can easily be resolved. This is an extremely safe and effective approach, while someone like me, joining under the banner of a big figure, when problems arise, if my abilities aren’t enough, I become… cannon fodder!”
At this moment, Lauren Delder seemed to have realized something.
He thought about Jason’s approach.
And of Jason’s stealth so perfected to the utmost.
Suddenly, Lauren Delder somewhat understood his own shortcomings.
