Chapter 719 - 717: Entrusting the Untrustworthy_1

Chapter 719: Chapter 717: Entrusting the Untrustworthy_1"I’d like to hear your reasons, Hog Foster."

The devil’s whispers echoed throughout the room, omnipresent and piercing straight to one’s heart.

Facing the man who arrived breathlessly at the door, "Dominate" suddenly became intensely curious. Therefore, it decided to postpone its plan slightly, considering this a reward for Hog’s courage.

As per the agreement with Jock, she was supposed to detonate the Spiritual Energy bomb the moment Hog was within the explosion range, granting him a quick release.

"You’ve been to the Spiritual Energy Re

The "Dominate" chuckled lightly, "This also includes your plan to buy time and wait for Rob Lucci to come to your support."

Jock would never have dreamed that he was not the only backstabber in the affair.

Hog Foster never sent the top operatives of Military Intelligence Section Seven back to the Sixth District; they were still in The First Region, cooperating with the Chairperson of the Council as their last stronghold. But the "Dominate" didn’t expose Hog’s little trick, leaving them here to accomplish its real plan.

It had only ever had one purpose in getting involved in this dispute.

Rob Lucci.

Or rather, the "Devil."

Upon hearing this, Hog momentarily paused, and his facial expression finally changed a bit.

"What a pity, I think you should take a look at your phone; this might be your last chance."

Whether Hog wished to or not, the "Dominate" helped him take out his phone and opened the unread message from two minutes ago, instantly plunging Hog’s mood into the depths.

In his plan, he would coordinate with Lucky to launch a surprise attack against the "Dominate." He had believed Mr. Lucky was already lying in wait near the hospital, just waiting for him to give the signal to strike.

But this message told him, they were busy just then and didn’t have time to check their phones.

He believed in his good fortune though, confident that he would turn danger into safety.

In an instant, Hog even entertained the idea of calling to curse them out; he had envisaged he might die here, but never imagined it would be in such an ignominious way.

The allies missing the final showdown for absurd reasons such as "oversleeping" or "being too busy to check the phone" made Hog feel he might never rest in peace.

"I can tell you quite clearly that they aren’t making a move right now."

The "Dominate" found the scene terribly ironic—the twist of reality was far more interesting and more despairing than anything it had planned.

It wasn’t part of its plan.

Otherwise, it would have detonated the bomb as soon as it knew the "Devil" was nearby, and then left as quickly as possible.

"It’s just that you don’t understand that man."

On reflection, how could someone as notoriously bad-tempered, even referred to by them as the "Devil," possibly cooperate with a mere human for a last stand?

Watching people in despair facing death was one of the "Devil’s" greatest interests after all.

After all, it was he who had brought despair into their midst in the first place.

"Well, Mr. Hog, it’s time to go. I wish you all a good dream."

The "Dominate" made the gesture to detonate the bomb in front of him.

Hog paused; he saw Lucy’s vacant eyes, and an explosion shattered the stillness of the night.

"Boom—!"

Meanwhile, at Galaxy Transport Company.

Song Lan pulled up a chair and looked up at the night sky illuminated by airship advertisements overhead, draped in a coat to ward off the cold.

He felt he should be standing by the window to match the current mood, but due to physical and mental fatigue, he only wanted to sit.

"Aren’t you going to go?"

Lu Xiang asked, "Hog might have already encountered the ’Dominate.’"

Even as a Standin, their powers were not on the same level.

Especially for Hog, two seconds was too brief for him to do anything; even preserving his own life would be a luxury.

"No need."

Song Lan shook his head. He slowly closed his eyes, entering a state of rest, "Because I’ve already told him... the ’Dominate’ is no longer a match for him."
