Chapter 1474: Different!
Mr. Kande?
Jason had seen that name in the diary.
Lauren Delder had seen it too.<azcead> Nov3lFre.et</azcead>
However, neither of them expected that the so-called Mr. Kande would actually be 'Jing'.
Is it true or false?
Jason and Lauren Delder thought simultaneously.
Then, they silently watched the master of the secret passage, 'Kulin'.
The master of the secret passage was very angry, speaking in a low voice that sounded like a roar—
"Everything is a lie!"
"It was him!""He deceived us, as well as Zone 1-15."
Huff, puff.
Saying this, the master of the secret passage gasped heavily.
His eyes had turned bloodshot.
Filled with hatred!
Pushed to the limit.
A killing intent almost tangible condensed around him.
Only after four or five seconds did the master of the secret passage continue speaking.
"Twenty years ago, moving from the Ring City District in Lower City to Uptown only required a letter of recommendation, not 100000 jing and some so-called review!"
"Moreover, at that time, Uptown's 'knowledge' wasn't truly sealed from Lower City. If you had the heart, you could still find similar knowledge in the Ring City."
"But after that guy became the agent for Zone 1-15, he completely sealed off that knowledge."
The master of the secret passage said this while strongly waving his fist.
As if he were pounding on a 'big shot'.
"Back then, was 'Extraordinary Power' easily accessible?"
Lauren Delder couldn't help but interject.
For Lauren Delder, 'Extraordinary Power' was the force that could change his fate.
Before encountering 'Extraordinary Power', he was just a lackey under a 'big shot'.
Though he lived dangerously, it was at least better than ordinary people.
At the very least, he never starved.
Every two weeks, he could even eat 'canned food'.
Not the canned food manufactured within the Ring City of Lower City, but genuine meat cans from Zone 1-15.
But after encountering 'Extraordinary Power', believing he found the chance to change his fate, his ambition became uncontrollably inflated, ultimately leading to his current state.
He had moments of resentment.
But, he absolutely had no regrets.
Because, he believed it was his own choice.
However, listening to the words of the master of the secret passage, if it was 'Jing' who sealed off the knowledge of 'Extraordinary Power' from Lower City, then where did he get that so-called knowledge of 'Extraordinary Power'?
He didn't believe his luck was that good.
An uneasy premonition arose in Lauren Delder's heart.
And in the next moment, that bad premonition was confirmed.
"At that time, acquiring knowledge related to 'Extraordinary Power' was possible in Lower City, but it wasn't an easy task, let alone now — where did you get your 'Extraordinary Power' and related knowledge?"
A hint of schadenfreude appeared on the face of the master of the secret passage.
Lauren Delder clenched his teeth, his face tense.
He fell silent.
He had been played.
He was always just a pawn.
Even though he had suspected this fact, being truly confirmed made it hard for Lauren Delder to accept.
His confidence was utterly shattered.
The feeling of having his self-esteem completely trampled...
Was appalling.
And the master of the secret passage, seemingly oblivious to this, continued speaking.
"Zone 30, the sealed Zone 30, the former battlefield, now the 'Hell's Path', do you really think there will be so-called 'opportunities' there?"
"There won't be, it's impossible."
"'Hell's Path' is just a trap laid by that guy."
"To attract fools like you."
Saying this, the master of the secret passage let out two cold laughs.
"That guy will surely tell you all about how Zone 30, once a battlefield, became mysteriously unpredictable due to a special battle. To protect the safety of 'Nightless City', he had no choice but to seal Zone 30 using special means. However, to understand the current state of Zone 30, every now and then, 'Scout Soldiers' need to be sent out — it's a mission with a nine out of ten chance of death, but as long as survivors return, I will reward the returning ones generously."
The master of the secret passage mimicked the tone of a 'big shot'.
It had to be said, it was uncannily lifelike.
And Lauren Delder remained silent with his head down.
Undoubtedly, what the master of the secret passage said was true.
"Hah, becoming mysteriously unpredictable?"
"It's just an excuse for that bastard to set a trap!"
"The war came suddenly but ended even quicker. When the real combat forces of Uptown's 'Nightless City' were mobilized, the unexpected war ended."
"But, those true combat forces of Uptown were also damaged. It was at this moment that bastard saw an opportunity, under the name of stabilizing 'Nightless City', he restricted the Ring City in Lower City, exploited more dirty means in Uptown, and quickly earned Uptown's trust, rapidly climbing the ranks to become the 'agent' of Uptown for Lower City."
The master of the secret passage spoke, gritting his teeth.
Then, Jason could clearly hear the sound squeezed through the other's teeth.
"It should have been mine! It was supposed to be mine!"
"Kill him!"
"I should have truly killed him then!"
Jason remained silent, watching the master of the secret passage before him.
The latter quickly noticed Jason's gaze and, in a straightforward yet furious tone, said, "I killed him, but it wasn't actually killing him. He just used my hand to smoothly disappear from everyone's sight!"
"Why?"
Lauren Delder's translucent brain began to churn.
