The Demon’s Menu

Cortana, however, approached Jason.

"Jason, how did you find out?"

Cortana asked.

Immediately, Tel turned his gaze to Jason.

He knew very well that if Jason had indeed been able to detect the ’traitor’ in advance, it would have been of utmost importance.

After all, who could be certain that the ’traitors’ who had been exposed were all there were?

"He exposed his murderous intent towards me."

Jason said half-truthfully.

He couldn’t very well say that he had smelled the ’food scent’ on him, could he?

Cortana pressed on.

"I can’t guarantee that."

Jason honestly admitted.

"Is that so?"

Disappointment flashed across Cortana’s face, but then, the lady immediately said with a stern look, "Jason, I will help you apply for a commendation, including for this discovery of a traitor."

The decisive Cortana began to take action after her words fell.

She opened the mini-computer she carried and started a series of operations.

Meanwhile, Vince, having finally accepted the reality, approached Jason.

"I apologize, Sir Jason."

"I was impulsive just now."

"I wish to make amends, Sir."

The young Knight said with a face full of shame.

Given the education Vince had received, he simply couldn’t accept that he had drawn his sword on an innocent party.

Especially when that innocent party was revealing a conspiracy.

Jason, however, was unconcerned; he had never sensed a hint of malice from the young Knight, so he simply raised his hand and pointed towards the bodies of the ’Scouts’ and the ’Assaulters’.

"Let’s continue our deal then."

Jason said.

The young Knight hesitated for a moment, then gave Jason a Knight’s salute.

"Your character is as admirable as your strength," the young Knight said, and he removed a short sword from the buckle on his belt.

The short sword was wrapped in a sheath, and when Vince opened the buckle, a distinct ’food’-like aroma began to waft out.

Jason twitched his nostrils slightly and glanced at the sheath.

Magic equipment and items are not eternal.

They can also be damaged.

Even some items are quite fragile.

Therefore, they need more careful preservation methods.

The sheath in front of him was clearly one of those methods.

"Cling film?"

Jason thought to himself.

"This is a short sword with the power of ’Flame’; it can be used continuously for 30 minutes," Vince explained.

"I would like to trade it for the bodies of those ’Scouts’."

"The bodies of the ’Assaulters’ are very rare; I don’t have sufficient items to trade for them," the young Knight said honestly.

This honesty made Jason decide not to haggle.

"It’s a deal," Jason said.

The next moment, the young Knight handed the short sword, along with the sheath, to Jason.

"Thank you for your generosity," the young Knight said as he began to contact people within ’Bronze’s Resilience.’

Shortly thereafter, two large cold storage trucks arrived.

Once all the ’Scout’ bodies had been loaded into one of the trucks, the young Knight pointed to the remaining one and said to Jason, "You can use this truck for the bodies of the ’Assaulters’. Please do not refuse; it is merely a trivial gift between friends."

"I hope to see you again."

Without waiting for Jason’s response, the young Knight followed the cold storage truck and departed.

"Vince is a fine young man," Tel commented as he came over.

"Hmm," Jason agreed without denial.

Tel, however, displayed an apologetic expression.

"I apologize; I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. Initially, I was planning on having Vince trade for the bodies of those ’Scouts’ and Larson to trade for the body of the ’Assaulter.’

"Now I can help you reconnect with the sirs," Tel inquired, looking at Jason.

"It would be appreciated," Jason replied, relieving the member of the ’Clock Tower’s’ ’External Reconnaissance Bureau.’

He certainly didn’t want to leave a bad impression on an Ancient race.

Especially after this Ancient race had demonstrated strength and possessed some special abilities.

Tel would not believe that Jason had relied solely on sensing malice to determine Larson was the traitor.

This was something his soul had touched upon.

Therefore, Jason must have other ways to identify traitors.

But since it was a significant matter, it wasn’t appropriate to disclose.

Or perhaps...

Was he waiting for a better offer?

Tel leaned towards the latter.

’Mystical Side’ participants were neither ascetics nor philanthropists.

They too needed various resources and had all sorts of demands.

To trade ’knowledge’ was utterly normal in the ’Mystical Side.’

Similarly, ’knowledge is expensive, it’s priceless’ is also a consensus on the ’Mystical Side.’

"Do you need an ’agent’?" Tel asked quietly.

As if he was concerned that Jason might misunderstand, Tel immediately added after speaking, "Rest assured, I won’t act as a middleman, will not seek profits, I assure integrity."

"What are you talking about?"

With a puzzled tone, Jason asked in return.

And faced with such a retort, Tel nodded repeatedly.

"Understood!"

"I get it!"

After speaking quietly, Tel moved aside and began to write.

Keeping the initial secrecy, huh?

First, let a very few people know, then let the news spread through them, forming the first ’chain of interest,’ and then make use of this ’chain’ to continuously hype things up, aiming to sell at a high price!

Indeed, a worthy Ancient race, having thought of all these things at the first opportunity.

Indeed, I am still too young!
