Chapter 122 You can't kill him! (Fourth update)
A few days ago, when they returned from Nirvana, Jingyuan had the opportunity to kill Charles when they were ambushed by him on the elevator platform.
But Jingyuan didn't make a move.
Before this, when he made an alliance with Jingnan, he promised Jingnan to save Morgan and Charles's lives.
Morgan wanted to protect him because he believed Morgan possessed many secrets about the world.
But Charles, Jingyuan doesn't want to protect him.
However, in order to win over Jingnan, he agreed.
Jingyuan knew in his heart that as long as Charles was around, the lighthouse would never be at peace.
Therefore, Jingyuan took advantage of the opportunity presented by the riots instigated by the priests to make Mark realize that Charles had to be eliminated.
Mark looked at Jing Yuan and said, "That's why I'm here to talk to him."
"Talk?" Jing Yuan looked helpless. What was there to talk about?
Jing Yuan said, “Mark, you know Charles’s personality. You also know what those remnants of the Light and Shadow Society are capable of. As long as Charles is around, he will give these people hope. This is no longer something Charles can control. What happened today is just the beginning. If we forcefully push to abolish the Three Laws in the future, these original interest groups will still side with Charles. At that time, even if Charles is in prison, he will still be their spiritual leader…”
Mark reached out to stop Jingyuan from continuing.
Jingyuan had no choice but to follow Mark into the cell.
This was the first time Mark had visited Charles since he was imprisoned.
Inside the law firm's cell, Charles sat calmly. Although he looked haggard, his arrogant demeanor still lingered on his face.
"Hey! Our great Lord Mark, what brings you to this place? Shouldn't you be outside receiving the cheers of the people?"
Although Charles was in his cell, he could hear the noise outside.
He knew that Mark had officially succeeded as the city lord, and he also knew that the people he had arranged had all failed.
“Charles,” Mark began, “I didn’t want things to turn out this way. If you hadn’t staged the coup, we could have sat down and talked.”
“What are we talking about?” Charles stared at Mark. “You want me to willingly acknowledge you as the city lord? That old man Morgan wanted to pass the position to you until he died! I really don’t understand, what do I lack compared to you? You’re just a brute who fights and kills! With your abilities, can you even manage a lighthouse?”
Mark was taken aback. He didn't understand Morgan's thinking either, and he certainly wasn't confident in managing the lighthouse.
Jingyuan smiled. When it comes to verbal sparring, Mark is far inferior to Charles.
"You really want to know where you fall short of Mark?" Jingyuan looked at Charles. "Let me tell you! You're not as tall as him, you're not as strong. If you can beat him in a one-on-one fight, I'll support you becoming the city lord!"
Charles looked completely bewildered.
He looked at Jing Yuan, and he knew that if it weren't for Jing Yuan, he wouldn't have lost this round with Mark.
"So you only care about force?" Charles walked towards Jingyuan, pointed at Mark, and said, "Do you think this brute can arrange things for you at Dawn Hall? Whether you want to sleep with Penny or Jingnan, I'm the one who arranges it for you every time!"
Jingyuan was stunned; Mark didn't know about these things.
When Mark heard Charles say that, he stared wide-eyed at Jingyuan.
Jing Yuan turned to look at Mark, "Otherwise, how would I know he was using the Dawn Hall for power-for-sex deals?"
Mark didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, he had already planned to take Ran Bing to the surface. It was only thanks to Jing Yuan that they were able to escape unscathed.
Jingyuan quickly said to Charles, "If you had won this time, would Mark have survived? When you arranged for Mark's assassination, you never intended for him to live! Now Mark has won, but you're still alive! That's the difference between you and Mark!"
Charles gave a cold laugh. "Just womanly sentimentality."
Charles's expression and demeanor showed no sign of worrying about being killed.
Jingyuan pointed at Charles, looked at Mark, and said, "See! I told you he should be killed!"
Mark's gaze turned serious as he stared at Charles and asked, "Charles, according to your plan, after I break into the Hall of Dawn, will you let me go down to the ground and travel far away?"
No! I will kill you!
Mark was disappointed, but he still said, "Then go on your journey!"
Jing Yuan was taken aback; he had almost forgotten that this was also an option.
Let Charles go down to the ground, whether he lives or dies, it won't affect the lighthouse.
Mark is kind, but he's not stupid.
Today's events have made Mark realize that Charles cannot stay.
But Mark couldn't bring himself to kill him.
Charles stared at Mark and said with a smile, "Then I must thank the city lord for his kindness!"
Mark turned around, wanting to say something, but then he thought it was pointless to say anything, so he simply left.
Mark and Jingyuan arrived outside the cell. Mark glanced at Jingyuan and asked, "So, you and Jingnan undertook a breeding mission?"
Jingyuan smiled helplessly: "This was all done by Charles to win me over."
“Charles used the Hall of Dawn for the transactions, and the partners were all chosen by you yourselves. It's understandable that you chose Penny, since we all know about you and Penny. But why was Jingnan also involved?”
"Forehead……"
"Even if we abolish the Three Laws and restore the old world's family relationships, it will still be monogamous..."
Jingyuan could only explain, "At first, I thought Jingnan was Charles's sister, and he would definitely not agree to let his sister go to the Hall of Dawn with me... Actually, Jingnan was also a victim in this matter. Charles wanted to remove Jingnan from the power structure, so he arranged for her to carry out the breeding mission. Even if it wasn't me, it would have been someone else!"
Mark sighed deeply. "If family relationships are restored in the future, how will those who carried out missions in Dawn Hall back then get along?"
"The only option is to destroy the records of the breeding missions in the Hall of Dawn, so that they disappear into history."
"It can only be the."
Jingyuan looked at Mark and suddenly asked, "At your age, you must have done quite a few breeding missions, right?"
“Uh…” Mark was speechless.
Looking at Mark's expression, Jing Yuan asked in surprise, "Haven't you ever done a breeding mission?"
"No. As a hunter, there isn't that much time."
"Bullshit! They were all hunters, so how come Xuefeng was a breeding champion back then?"
"Then I don't know." Mark quickly said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll go back first. I still have some things to take care of."
Jing Yuan didn't press further, but instead said, "There's something else. I'm planning to inquire about gene serums from the Lightbringers."
"Weren't the bodies of Lorif and Sharif given to Dr. Carrie for research?"
“Dr. Carrie can only conduct reverse research. If I can get the drug from them, the research will be easier.”
"All right!"
After separating from Mark, Jingyuan went to another cell.
Charles, Vatican City, and Vatican City have been imprisoned separately, and they have not been allowed to see each other since the incident.
Jingyuan arrived outside Fanlu's cell and looked at Fanlu.
"Shalif has failed. What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"
Fan Lu's pupils contracted sharply; they had no backup plan.
“Mark originally didn’t intend to kill Charles, but after you all made such a fuss, Mark finally agreed to kill Charles.”
Upon hearing Jing Yuan's words, Fan Lu rushed towards him, gripping the iron bars with both hands, shouting, "You can't kill the leader! He was personally chosen by the Lord of Light and Shadow!"
Chapter 123 Viewing Records (Fifth Update)
"The Lord of Light and Shadow?" Jing Yuan sneered, "Let him come out!"
Jing Yuan's words were completely a lie; how could Fan Lu possibly summon the Lord of Light and Shadow?
Jing Yuan continued, "I can give you a chance. If you tell me what you're going to do next, and information about the gene serum, I can help you persuade Lord Mark to spare Charles's life."
"Is what you said true?"
“Really. Tell me, and I can help Charles get a chance to travel far away.”
Fanlu's gaze suddenly changed, and she quickly said, "We have no more backup plans. Our biggest backup plan was the two gene serums we injected into the Sharif brothers. Now that Sharif has failed, we have been completely defeated."
"Where did they get the gene serum? How could it increase a person's strength so much?"
"It was collected from the ground."
Do you have any more?
"There are only two left. Loriev was given one injection, and Sharif was given one injection."
Jingyuan recalled that when they were captured, he fought with Lorif, but Lorif's strength was far inferior to that of Sharif.
"Why is Sharif so much stronger than Lorif? And why is Sharif's face ulcerated?"
"Shalif's skin ulceration is a side effect of the medication. The enhancement effect of the gene-enhancing agent is random, and so are the side effects."
Jingyuan had already sensed that there was definitely something wrong with this gene serum.
"That's why Charles didn't use it himself."
