The Demon's Menu-Chapter 1732: A Meeting of Minds
Captulo 1732: Chapter 132: A Meeting of Minds
Jason frowned as he looked at the spot where Cizkuk’s soul had long disappeared.
‘Old Man’ and Lauren Delder, however, let out a long breath of relief.
Although they had been hoping for Jason’s arrival in their hearts, neither of them was sure he would actually come. It was only when Jason stood in front of them that they truly relaxed.
Lauren Delder, not caring about the dirt on the ground, lay flat on his back.
Turning his head to look at Jason, who was deep in thought, Lauren Delder felt an indescribable peace in his heart.
He had been saved by Jason again.
How many times had it been now?
Three times?
Or four times.
He couldn’t remember.
But one thing Lauren Delder remembered clearly: Jason would be his best friend for life, the kind he could entrust his life to.
Yes, a bond forged through life and death.
If someone had told Lauren Delder before that he would have a friend as close as life and death, he would have scoffed.
To Lauren Delder, who grew up on the streets of the ‘Nightless City’, he had seen enough of the city’s survival of the fittest and deceit, and he didn’t believe in friendship at all.
In the ‘Nightless City’, even family ties are bargaining chips.
Let alone friendship?
But now, he believed it.
Moreover, he felt it.
This feeling…
It’s wonderful!
Lying on the ground, Lauren Delder stretched out his limbs as if lying on a soft bed, feeling incredibly comfortable.
The ‘Old Man’ beside him felt the same way.
Leaning against the wall, he looked at Jason with a smile, a look of reassurance that there was someone to carry on the legacy.
He didn’t know when exactly, but the ‘Old Man’ started seeing Jason as a son, as a successor.
Maybe it was when Jason stood up for the last bit of his dignity?
Or perhaps, the recent rescue?
The ‘Old Man’ didn’t know anymore.
However, seeing Jason grow stronger made the ‘Old Man’ happier.
As for that soul-enslaving secret technique just now?
The ‘Old Man’ didn’t care at all.
In the ‘Nightless City’, it’s either you enslave others, or others enslave you.
It’s just a different form.
There’s no fundamental difference.
Although it was happening while alive, the ‘Old Man’ didn’t mind Jason having the power to control others after death, because only this way could true control be achieved.
To control the ‘Nightless City’!
Thinking of this, the ‘Old Man’ sat up straight.
He pondered the feasibility of this plan.
Then, he thought it was very feasible.
As long as…
Jason agrees!
That’s right!
Jason’s consent!
Considering himself an open-minded guardian, the ‘Old Man’ wanted to ask for Jason’s opinion.
If Jason agreed, he would start setting things up right away.
They would definitely be able to unify the Lower City District in the shortest time.
After all, above them were thousands of ‘spectators’.
“‘Jing’.”
Jason softly muttered this name.
He found that every time, ‘Jing’ managed to surprise him.
Each time the surprise was beyond estimation.
No matter how much he tried to overestimate the opponent, ‘Jing’ always had new surprises.
No!
To be more precise, it was a trump card!
"An army under complete ‘soul’ control?”
"No wonder you felt confident enough to ‘go’ to Uptown.”
Previously, Jason had been puzzled by ‘Jing’s’ straightforward abandonment of the Lower City District.
Although the Lower City District was inferior to Uptown, it should still hold an important position in ‘Jing’s’ plan.
Simply giving it up was clearly illogical.
But now it seemed.
The opponent had already arranged everything.
With an army like this under soul control, far stronger than the Lower City District, to regain control of the Lower City District was a piece of cake for ‘Jing’.
Relying on this army.
And their past reputation.
Jason was confident that ‘Jing’ only needed an hour to bring the Lower City District back under his command.
And this was something Jason would not allow.
Jason had no interest in the Lower City District of the ‘Nightless City’.
He was used to being a lone wolf.
But Jason understood that he couldn’t let the ‘enemy’ have their way.
Especially such an unknown ‘enemy’!
But…
Would this be part of ‘Jing’s’ calculation?
Or did ‘Jing’ have another backup plan?
Jason pondered, looking at the ‘Old Man’ and Lauren Delder, his eyes softening.
"You two really look a mess.”
Jason said with a smile.
He was always good-tempered with friends.
The ‘Old Man’ and Lauren Delder were no exception.
"It’s beyond just a mess.”
"It’s truly running away in panic!”
"That ‘Jing’ guy is really ruthless, not only planting explosives inside the ‘Gold Tower’ but also in the square. More importantly, he has such a strong army, it’s truly terrifying.”
Talking about ‘Jing’, Lauren Delder felt both emotional and fearful.
Remembering how he once tried to scheme against the opponent, Lauren Delder wanted to slap himself twice and call himself an idiot.
At the same time, he was even more grateful to Jason.
If it weren’t for Jason, he’d be long gone by now.
"That’s not the most terrifying part!”
"The most terrifying part is…”
"To this day, we still don’t know what this bastard wants to do!”
The ‘Old Man’ frowned deeply.
This was something that puzzled the ‘Old Man’.
What did ‘Jing’ want to do?
Jason immediately thought of the cemetery in Uptown and quickly informed the ‘Old Man’.
"Uncertain!”
"This bastard’s truths and lies are so mixed up, it’s impossible to tell!”
