The conclusions drawn earlier had once again erged.
And this ti, as opposed to the previous vagueness, they were much clearer.
’It wasn’t who escaped to Ang City.’
’It was you who arranged for to be in Ang City.’
’Because here, you have the opportunity for a desperate coback!’
’Because...’
’Ang City itself was your earliest arrangent.’
He said, looking up at ’Lawrence.’
’Lawrence’ nodded, without objection.
’Correct.’
’This is my initial layout.’
’So guess, where did I place the opportunity for a turnaround?’
As he spoke, that habitual malice appeared on ’Lawrence’s’ face.
’In the... ’orphanage’!’
He answered.
The malice on ’Lawrence’s’ face stiffened a bit.
’It’s not hard to guess.’
’You were once a high-ranking mber of the ’orphanage’!’
’Thinking about laying out a plan in Ang City, it’s natural to involve the ’orphanage’!’
’Then, what could be more suitable than the ’Ang City Orphanage’ as a stronghold?’
’The ’Ang City Orphanage,’ already underground, could just dig a few more floors down or secretly retain a hidden passageway, an elevator leading there; that’s what’s most appropriate for you.’
He watched the stiffness slowly leaving ’Lawrence’s’ face as he spoke.
He paused when he got to that point.
’Is that what you want to hear say?’
He suddenly asked in return.
’Lawrence’ kept the stiffness in his face, his eyes filled with shock, seemingly not understanding what he was talking about.
But he continued speaking.
’You would definitely set up the chance for a turnaround within the base of the ’Ang City Orphanage.’
’But, this opportunity for a coback would surely not be just one.’
’Given your character, you would surely ensure a backup for the final opportunity!’
He said with certainty.
The stiffness on ’Lawrence’s’ face, and the shock in his eyes, disappeared.
Then, ’Lawrence’ scoffed.
’So what if you know?’
’It’s a checkmate move!’
’Even if you know, you can’t change anything!’
’Just like the previous two tis!’
’Lawrence’ emphasized the word ’two tis’ in his speech, then stared intently at him, hoping to see pain and sorrow on his face.
Unfortunately, at that mont, there were no such emotions in him.
On the contrary, ’Lawrence’s’ words revealed even more.
’Sure enough...’
’Its appearance was a coincidence.’
’And you were rely making use of that coincidence.’
’It fits your style well.’
He said, then paused again, continuing, "So, will that place make choose between sacrificing comrades or destroying the entirety of Ang City?’
’Guess!’
That malicious smirk reappeared on ’Lawrence’s’ face.
Then, ’Lawrence’ disappeared.
He returned to a normal state.
Edmund rubbed his temples, subconsciously wiping away a nosebleed before picking up the communicator. Find more chapters on empire
’Esther?’
’It’s , senior.’
’The hidden passage has been found.’
Esther’s voice ca through the communicator.
’Good, wait for , I’ll be right...’
Before he could finish saying ’there,’ Edmund felt a darkness before his eyes and fell to the ground as everything spun around him.
’Chief!’
’Doctor! Doctor!’
The stationed mobile unit mbers quickly helped Edmund up, shouting towards the side.
’Soldier, report on Edmund’s condition.’
Esther’s voice in the communicator towards...
’Report, Chief Edmund is unconscious!’
Hearing the mobile unit mber’s words, Esther, who was at that mont under the ’orphanage’ base of Ang City, furrowed his brows, his eyes full of concern, and directly said to Clark and Lites standing beside him, ’Gentlen, I need you to go back up and look after Edmund while taking command of the entire base.’
’The battle is not over.’
’There needs to be soone with experience in command!’
Seeing that the captain and vice-captain of the mobile unit had more to say, Esther spoke quickly.
Then, he pointed to a recently discovered secret door and said, ’As an investigator, I have more experience in investigation; this is better suited for .’
Clark and Lites looked at Esther and, in the end, nodded.
’Be careful!’
The two cautioned him.
Then, they issued commands to a nearby ten-person mobile unit team.
’Temporarily follow Mr. Esther’s commands, understand?’
’Understood!’
The mbers of the mobile unit saluted in response.
Esther watched Clark and Lites enter the elevator, taking a deep breath.
Inside, he was extrely anxious.
The calm on his face was just a pretense of composure.
Through the descriptions by senior Edmund, he knew very well what kind of person ’Lawrence’ was.
A smart yet an-spirited fellow who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
Would the ’fallback’ plan left by such a bastard be simple?
In fact, from the mont senior Edmund confird that Ang City’s ’orphanage’ had the enemy’s fallback plans, he had begun his investigation.
A massive deploynt of personnel turned the ’orphanage’ upside down, only just now discovering the ’hidden passage’ left by the adversaries.
A hidden passageway concealed within the orphanage’s ergency evacuation routes.
The ergency evacuation route, a facility every city’s ’orphanage’ possesses, created for contingencies, and the last escape route prepared by the ’orphanage’ for its mbers.
Because of this, under normal circumstances, no one would be here.
