"You let me go so easily...Aren't you afraid of me running away?"

"From the moment you started to go against our empire, I admired your courage, so... you can give it a try now."

"……All right."

Bernard, whose eyes vaguely revealed majestic momentum, looked around, and Duan Qing finally sat down on the blood-stained prison floor: "Please go first, General."

"...I know you know some of the secrets of this city."

Bending slightly, Bernard's gaze slowly fell on Duan Qing's head, who was rubbing his wrists: "I also understand your current situation... In order to escape some unknown dangers, you have to...

In that case, you would fall into the empire’s trap, right?”

"Of course I'm not worried about my own safety, but I'm worried about the empire's interests being harmed." Bernard shook his head and said: "In an imminent situation... the possibility of the empire suffering a loss in the end is also very high, adventurer.

"So... you are going to use this reason to kill me?"

"We're not talking about eating or killing."
