Chapter 20 Bankruptcy After Promotion and Salary Increase
The door of the fighting gym was once again pushed against the back with a 500kg barbell.
Jason took off his coat as he walked away.
After a brief warm-up, he stood opposite Alas and assumed a warning posture of unarmed fighting.
One night of fighting was enough for Jason to become familiar with Arras's attack method.
Similarly, Alas is also used to Jason.
Therefore, neither of them took action immediately, but looked at each other face to face, carefully moved their steps, and walked around the edge of the entire cement ring.
They are all looking for each other's flaws.
The two breaths overflowed involuntarily.
Alas's breath is hot and bright, just like the morning sun.
Jason's aura was full of determination, but there was no irritability. Instead, he was extremely quiet, just like a predator in the dark.
The two kept wandering around.
The momentum keeps rising.
The morning sun had already risen to noon, and it was scorching and dazzling under the scorching sun.
The predator in the darkness becomes more and more invisible, but its claws and teeth are exposed, and it is extremely ferocious.
The momentum of both of them has reached its peak at this moment.
Drawn by the aura, the battle between the two is about to break out.
Then……
Goo, goo goo.
Alas's stomach suddenly growled.
Suddenly, Alas, who was filled with the aura of the noon sun just a moment ago, became sluggish.
"I'm hungry and have no energy left."
Alas crawled there and said feebly.
Although she ate a lot last night, she had been exercising, not to mention fighting all night afterwards. The food had long been digested, and she had just perfected her own skills, so the hunger pangs hit Alas like a tide.
I just saw Jason, so I was a little excited and forgot about it.
However, hunger may be late, but it is never absent.
Likewise, hunger, like yawning, is horribly contagious.
When someone says, "I really want to eat hot pot," most people next to me will also say, "I really want to eat it too."
The most I can emphasize is that we need to be a mandarin duck.
Then, I would like to add, two bottles of snowflakes.
Jason is no exception.
"I'm a little hungry too."
He touched his belly.
Although he had just eaten 'food', he did not feel satisfied.
He felt like he could have some morning tea.
"Let's go buy food..."
Alas stood up excitedly. Then, Alas thought of something and looked at Jason solemnly. She asked: "Jason, do you still have money?"
"In that bag yesterday was everything I had."
Jason answered.
"That was all I had yesterday."
Alas scratched his head and said.
The two looked at each other, and then laughed together.
It's the kind of knowing smile between friends.
There is no embarrassment, let alone embarrassment.
A night of fighting and sweating had already established a special tacit understanding between the two.
Especially Alas, at this time, he felt a sense of closeness that "it turns out, Jason is just like me."
"I'm going to complete the mission of a bounty hunter now. Don't worry, I'll pick one that's not too difficult and is enough for us to have a good meal."
Alas suggested.
"No need to bother."
"Do you have a phone here?"
Jason waved his hand.
Since Esther, Edmon promised him that the "shelter" would help him solve some problems.
Then, it’s not too much to treat him to a meal, right?
…
Return to the secret base of ‘Shelter’ in Ang City.
Esther wrote the report diligently.
There was no exaggeration, he just described in detail what happened today.
Esther knew very well that so many people had seen what happened today, and he simply could not lean towards Edmond, even though he now very much wanted to tell the top management of the 'shelter' directly that Edmund was innocent and wrong.
It's that Chuck.
After writing this report, Esther sent it directly.
Then, he sat behind his desk and thought.
When giving a report on the ‘shelter’, he could not have any inclination due to the large number of bystanders.
But he is not just a C-level personnel of the ‘shelter’.
He is also the secret agent of the 'Holy Snake Society'.
He can think about the report to the 'Holy Snake Society'.
About ten minutes later, Esther began to write.
An accident happened this morning. People from the 'Temple' broke into Ang City. They wanted to 'remove' the masked people, but they failed.
The man once again showed a powerful unknown power. He seems to be able to detect some malicious intent against himself (it cannot be confirmed at the moment). I will continue to be in contact with him——D-1314.
…
"The more powerful the 'Mask Man' is, the greater my value is, and I can mobilize my authority."
"Senior Edmund is not directly mentioned in it, but the organization will investigate and will later think that my observations were insufficient. However, under the premise that I already have considerable value, I will become more reused and safer.
."
"After all, the top management of the organization will definitely like a subordinate like me who lacks ability but is lucky enough to be seen clearly and controlled by them at a glance."
Esther looked at the note.
After confirming that it was correct, he placed it close to his body.
He won't put it in deliberately, it must be natural.
While he was aware of the dangers, Esther was also aware of the benefits.
"I may receive a commendation for being able to make a request that is reasonable but not excessive."
"It has become natural to apply for another 'abnormality' in the name of contacting the 'masked man'."
"If the 'Asylum' releases Senior Edmond, this 'abnormality' will be treated as a gift to the 'Mask Man' and change my status in his heart."
"If the 'Asylum' wants to execute Senior Edmond... I will use this 'abnormality' as a bargaining chip and ask the 'Mask Man' to help me break the prison!"
"Then, I defected with Senior Edemon!"
Esther planned with a clear mind.
He thought as much as possible about what would happen and how to deal with it.
As for relying on ‘justice’?
It was given by others. Under the premise that it could not be confirmed, Esther preferred to take the initiative.
But soon, Esther frowned.
He found that there were too many surprises.
Moreover, none of him can directly mobilize the power that is loyal to him.
"It can only be an exchange of interests, but without my own power... This is the biggest obstacle to me wanting to live to be a hundred years old!"
“Do I have to start my own organization?”
Esther thought.
Jingle bell bell!
The phone on the desk rang, and Esther, whose thoughts were interrupted, did not feel angry at all.
Because he knew very well that it was extremely important to be able to make a call here. Without hesitation, he directly picked up the phone.
"Lord Jason?"
After hearing the voice coming from the microphone, Esther, who was already very polite, immediately became respectful.
At the same time, his heart couldn't help but lift up.
Esther will never forget her previous promise to Jason.
It's just that now that Senior Edmond is in trouble, he is worried that he won't be able to handle it alone.
However, after hearing Jason's request clearly, Esther breathed a sigh of relief.
"You need to eat?"
"No problem, I'll treat you."
"It's just a meal."
After saying that, Esther hung up the phone and walked out.
With a valid reason for contacting the 'Mask Man', his departure became natural.
"I hope the shelter's response will be slower and give me more time to prepare."
When leaving, Esther thought like this.
But what Esther didn't know was that ten minutes after his report was sent, it appeared in an office at the "Shelter" headquarters.
"'temple'?"
"'Mask Man'?"
"These crazy dogs are really persistent."
This one commented in a low voice.
Then, his eyes stopped on the name 'Chuck'.
"Chuck, Chuck."
"You are so disappointing."
"Not only your ability, but also your approach...it's really stupid."
With these words, this person picked up the phone in the room, dialed a number, and after getting through, said coldly: "The list of C+ personnel 'Chuck' has been erased."
After finishing speaking, this person put down the phone.
He lowered his head again and looked at the report in his hand.
This report is not the first one sent, but it is the most objective.
It is more objective than the previous ones.
"Ester?"
"Nice little guy."
"It can be listed as a key observation object."
"As for Edemon?"
After he pondered for a few seconds, a playful smile appeared on his face.
Then he picked up his pen and started writing.
…
Angcheng, the secret stronghold of the ‘Holy Snake Society’.
The director of the 'Holy Snake Society' in Angcheng is looking at the report that Esther sent in the morning.
Then, he handed it over to the three C-level personnel around him.
"A guy with average ability but good luck."
"This is exactly what we need."
"Hopefully he can surprise us."
The three C-level personnel were talking to each other one by one.
At this moment, a D+ personnel knocked on the door again with a report.
After placing the report on the table, the D+ person immediately lowered his head and left.
The supervisor looked down at the report.
After a moment, a smile appeared on his face.
"This little guy's luck is better than we imagined."
With that said, he handed the report to the three C-level personnel again.
"The Director of the Asylum, Ang Cheng, actually colluded with the Templar Knights?"
"Is there something wrong with him in his head?"
"Maybe you want to take advantage of others?"
"Can you guarantee that the Knight Templar didn't come to Ang City with the idea of sending Chuck to the stake?"
The three C-level members of the 'Holy Snake Society' were discussing sarcastically.
They looked down upon the weakness of the 'shelter'.
Just like they are hostile to the 'Temple'.
Only 'snake' is correct.
"Okay, everyone."
"We don't need to discuss our opponents and enemies now. What we want to discuss now is whether to give this lucky little guy a higher level of authority."
"He has come into contact with the 'Mask Man'."
"And the 'Mask Man' is powerful and intelligent, and can communicate."
"It is recommended to give him higher authority."
"Second!"
"Second!"
"Second!"
The consent of the three C-level personnel has determined that Esther will soon gain greater authority.
Everything was as Esther expected.
But...there are some things that Esther would never expect.
