Captulo 1497: Chapter 21: Mobilization!
As soon as the words fell, Lauren Delder eagerly looked at Jason and the ‘Old Man’.
"What do you think this guy is here for?”
The ‘Old Man’ pointed at the mechanical bone dragon’s wreckage and asked.
"Not just a chance encounter?”
Lauren Delder blinked and answered.
When the ‘Old Man’ asked this question, Lauren Delder knew there had to be some trickery involved.
But he was honestly too lazy to think about it.
Instead of pondering it himself, he might as well directly ask Jason and the ‘Old Man’.
At this moment, he could completely trust the two of them.Such a chance to be lazy wasn’t easy to come by, and Lauren Delder thought he should continue to seize it.
The ‘Old Man’, hearing Lauren Delder’s answer, immediately facepalmed.
"Lauren, the fact that you grew up in Nightless City and lived quite well, your luck… is really something.”
The ‘Old Man’ sighed.
And Lauren Delder?
He cooperatively showed a silly grin.
Being silly is being silly.
Silly people often have good luck.
As for losing face?
Growing up in Nightless City, Lauren Delder didn’t have such thoughts.
Staying alive is the most important thing.
And if you can be happily lazy while alive, does face matter?
Not at all.
How much is face worth per pound anyway?
In front of your own people, as long as you have substance.
"Do you remember the attack we faced earlier?”
"Those ‘law enforcement squad’ guys.”
The ‘Old Man’, worried that Lauren Delder wouldn’t react, reminded him.
"It’s here for them?”
Lauren Delder was shocked.
"Of course!”
The ‘Old Man’ nodded affirmatively.
"Why?”
Lauren Delder continued to ask, and such a question completely made the ‘Old Man’ give up the Q&A mode and start answering directly.
"The ‘law enforcement squad’ appeared there, which must be because ‘Jing’, acting as Uptown’s agent, said something to Nightless City’s Uptown.”
"However, this bastard didn’t want the ‘law enforcement squad’ to kill us, but to use this mechanical bone dragon to kill the ‘law enforcement squad’ members.” 𝐑Â𝐍Ó𝔟Êș
"This is the bastard’s true goal!”
"And us?”
"At best, we’re just collateral damage.”
The ‘Old Man’ sighed.
"You’re saying that igniting the conflict between the 30th district and Uptown was the bastard’s aim all along?”
Lauren Delder frowned deeply.
This former collaborator of the bigwig had accepted being a pawn, an expendable piece, just hours ago.
But now, suddenly learning that he didn’t even count as an expendable piece.
Instantly, Lauren Delder felt terrible.
Once again, this former collaborator of the bigwig started questioning life.
"Hmm.”
"Most likely, yes.”
“‘Jing’ has an unspeakable relationship with the 30th district, while also being Nightless City’s Uptown agent… it seems what ‘Kulin’ said wasn’t entirely false, this bastard ‘Jing’ aims for much more than what’s visible.”
The ‘Old Man’ took a deep breath, looking towards Jason.
The meaning was clear enough.
Hoping Jason would make a decision.
The three-man squad had unconsciously been led by Jason for a while now.
"I have a plan, and if it succeeds, we can solve this once and for all.”
Jason said.
Lauren Delder looked puzzled.
The ‘Old Man’, however, reacted immediately.
This boss of the 16th district started pacing on the spot.
After two rounds, he lifted his head seriously.
"If what you’re thinking is the same as what I’m thinking.”
"The plan is feasible, but there’s one point…”
"How do we control the situation after the first step succeeds?”
The ‘Old Man’ asked.
"So, we need an ally.”
Jason said with a nod.
"An ally?”
This time, the ‘Old Man’ also frowned.
In front of them, within Nightless City, it’s full of dangers.
To say it’s filled with enemies is no exaggeration.
As for allies?
They’re beyond consideration.
The friends he contacted earlier are more dangerous now than ordinary Nightless City residents.
Even if he once put great efforts to contact them, it’s still the same.
Betrayal is just a matter of insufficient stakes.
Once the stakes are enough.
Everything falls into place naturally.
"Not those guys.”
"Though they might be somewhat useful.”
Jason guessed the ‘Old Man’s’ thoughts, shook his head, and then, under the gaze of both the ‘Old Man’ and Lauren Delder, revealed the answer.
"Can we contact the ‘Freedom Army’?”
…
In front of the alloy gate leading from the 29th district to the 30th district.
The morning sunlight happened to be shining on it.
The metal’s reflection made everything dazzling.
However, the most dazzling was the convoy parked in front of the alloy gate.
Four machine-gun-mounted jeeps and two large trucks.
After the vehicles were parked, a team of fully armed men jumped out of the four jeeps, each one looking fierce, exuding a strong aura, especially the leader who was burly, with an especially large head that added considerable ferocity to his face.
"Casro!”
"It’s Casro, one of ‘Jing’s Six Evil Dogs!”
When the convoy entered the 29th district, it was immediately spotted by the residents.
If it weren’t for the fact that the convoy was fully armed and not to be messed with, these residents would have swarmed like wolves.
However, upon discovering that the two trucks were loaded with supplies, the fully armed convoy couldn’t suppress the restless hearts of these residents.
