Jake understood what Guardio was saying. When he heard that, he knew that Guardio was already preparing for the worst, to cut their losses down to the lowest possible number. Yet, no matter what, Jake still wanted to see that person.
He wanted to remember what that person looked like, and wanted to remember this defeat forever. Guardio sighed, not answering Jake.
Jake said quickly, "I know you want to end this slaughter game, and increase the death toll to a hundred and twenty. Since you've already decided to do that, I won't say anything. I just have one request-I need to see this person.
"We at least need to see what he looks like and learn his name. After we're sent out, we'll be blamed immediately. It would be too late to look into things.
Guardio looked at Jake meaningfully while feeling frustrated. He wanted to see who that person was as well, but to stop any unexpected surprises, it was better if he ended the slaughter game right away to keep their losses as low as possible.
At the very least, they could still use this as an excuse when they got out. Otherwise, those people would not let him and Jake off easily. The plan was supposed to be foolproof, but it had completely crumbled. They only got half of the expected Heartblood, so that person would definitely be unhappy.
He would definitely be punished. Guardio sighed before he said seriously, "We can't let our emotions dictate what we do. I know you really want to meet that person, but if we see him and any accidents happen, then we would suffer losses that we never should have.
"We'll be questioned after we get out, and our punishments would be even worse. The original punishment was already hard enough for us to bear, if it was any worse, don't you know how badly we'll suffer?"
Those words caused Jake's mouth to freeze. He looked incredibly ashen as he sighed despondently. Those guys would never hold back to accomplish their goals. The three of them had been ordered to complete the task, and it was not something they could refuse.
If they did well, they would get amazing rewards. If they did not, they would immediately be questioned and even locked up. Then, once they left the Whirling World, nothing good would be waiting for them.
The moment Lake thought about the
future, he felt like those originally bright skies had been completely covered by dark clouds. The future was se dark that he might fall into a pit if he was not careful. Jake felt more and more scared, but he did not want to give up.
He clenched his fists tightly as he clenched his teeth and said, "It's already so bad anyway. So what if t gets worse? To prevent any unexpected accidents, we can
a new plan. I don't want to leave just like that.

"Even if I know I'm not a match for him and the two of us can't fight against him together for the sake of the plan, I still want to meet him. I want to know who forced us to this state."Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Guardio sighed helplessly, not expecting Jake to be so stubborn. He did not want to go on anymore and merely nodded slightly, agreeing to Jake's request. Jake narrowed his eyes, thinking about Florian.
He said, "That person won't kill Florian so quickly. He'll probably spend some time finding out even more things from Florian's mouth. Do you think Florian can hold on?"
