One thing to say.

The environment in the correctional facility is better than that in the suspension area.

At least the single cell that Charles arranged for Jon was large enough.

Although there wasn't even a bed, Jon wasn't one to care about that.

In addition to eating and sleeping every day, it is so comfortable to stay there.

For four or five days in a row, the lighthouse provided him with delicious food and drinks.

Jon himself was not idle either and picked up the ripple qigong again.

practice.

I practice like crazy!

This is the good thing about Ripple Qigong.

No matter when, you can start from scratch.

Compared with a few days ago, his physique has obviously improved a lot.

"Huh~"

After letting out a long breath, Jon ended a week of practice.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground.

He thought that the cold treatment should be over.

Next, he should be summoned by Lord Morgan to discuss some more private matters...

For example, the future of lighthouses!

However, Jon did not expect that the person who came to him was not City Lord Morgan, but Charles, the leader of the Church of Light and Shadow.

Charles invites Jon to have dinner with him.

Jon happily agreed.

In the gorgeous room exclusive to the head of the church, the two of them looked at each other across a long table.

The bell rings softly.

The chef in a white apron serves tonight's dishes in an orderly manner

——Fillet mignon, green salad and white bread.

"Eat." Charles smiled, then picked up the knife and fork very gracefully, "I'll show you."

Oops.

Who are you looking down on?

Jon didn't bother to pay attention, just grabbed the steak that was just warm enough with his hands, and tore it apart like a primitive man.

Charles was stunned.

There was deep hidden contempt in his eyes.

Even if he has some knowledge, he is still just a common man who cannot stand up to the public eye...

He picked up the red wine glass.

"Don't worry, there is plenty of food here."

Jon chewed hard, his cheeks bulging.

Poor in literature and rich in martial arts.

Without energy in the body, even the ripple qigong cannot be practiced smoothly.

Just take supplements and that's it.

Seeing that Jon ignored him, Charles looked a little ugly.

However, he suppressed the emotions in his heart well and said: "City Lord Morgan doesn't have time to summon you these days.

Because he is considering the candidate for the next city lord."

Hearing this, Jon took action.

Think for a few seconds.

He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "It's not that I'm thinking about it, but it's already decided."

Charles' pupils shrank sharply, "You...how did you...?"

"Why don't you think about it? My lord, isn't the situation obvious?

City Lord Morgan has determined the candidate for the next City Lord.

And the next city lord is not you.

certainly.

In your heart, the next city lord should be you.

So you want to take action and want to use some external force.

So you thought of me and the common people who were imprisoned in the punishment house 4396."

The situation is not difficult to guess. You can guess it with an IQ slightly above 100.

Jon licked his fingers and stared directly at Charles as if he were staring at another juicy steak.

"Tell me, what benefit can you give me?"

Charles crossed his fingers on the table, "This means... you are willing to help me?"

"Why not?" Jon leaned forward slightly, "That day, I met almost all the top leaders of the lighthouse. Through observation, I feel that only you are the most suitable for the position of the lighthouse city lord."

Really good at talking!

All Charles' dissatisfaction disappeared instantly.

He had to admit that even though he was a mortal with a genetic disadvantage, this knowledge was indeed unique to Lighthouse, and was much better than that old and confused city lord!

"That's right, in that case, I won't hide it from you, I want to be the city lord.

4396, tell me what you think."

Think for a moment.

Jon asked, "Can I first know who City Lord Morgan has chosen to be the next City Lord?"

"Hunter Commander Mark." Charles said word by word.

"He?" Jon shook his head, "That guy may be a good person and can become an excellent hunting captain, but he is not suitable to be a city lord. He is too naive and too weak."

Yes, yes!

This idea coincides with Charles's.

He found this commoner more and more pleasing to his eyes.

Charles asked again: "Now, can you tell me what you think?"

"Of course it was a coup to seize power."

Jon spoke without thinking, "If City Lord Morgan doesn't let you succeed, why don't you force him to let you succeed? Anyway, you control the Church of Light and Shadow and have great power.

As long as Lord Morgan dies, who can stop you at the lighthouse?"

So cruel!

But I like it~

Charles smiled slightly, "But you have never thought about General Victor, Jing Nan and others beside City Lord Morgan..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jon.

"They were completely unfazed.

Victor, a typical soldier, listens to whoever is the boss.

Jing Nan may be very smart, but she has no ambition and cannot defeat you."

"Can you see that I am ambitious?" Charles had an interested expression on his face.

"Your ambition is written on your face, my lord." Jon pursed his lips, "We can cooperate, but the premise is that you must agree to help me improve the living conditions of the common people after becoming the city lord.

"

"this......"

Charles thought for a few seconds and nodded, "No problem."

"Very good, then we have an agreement!" Jon raised his glass and gestured to Charles from afar.

Seeing this, Charles also raised his glass to Jon.

“A pleasure to work with.”
