Chapter 478: Chapter 263: Got it, Gary has evolved too. _2

I didn’t expect Black Kler to think the same way...

Copying my idea.

Such bad luck.

Jiang Shu cursed inwardly, but he couldn’t show his familiarity with that Yaxi, so he countered with a question.

"Hmm," Gary nodded, "He is Clo, the one who started the war in Thirteen District."

"How do you know?" Jiang Shu frowned slightly.

Had Gary also discovered that Yaxi was Black Kler?

"There are too many coincidences for it not to occur to me," Gary didn’t elaborate much, but by his confident demeanor, it was clear he knew some insider information.

"Fine," Jiang Shu also nodded as if he didn’t want to dwell too much on this topic either, "I won’t stop you from being the hero in the darkness of Lonely City, but just the same, you’ll need to take responsibility for your actions."

"Responsible?" Gary was slightly taken aback, apparently puzzled.

"Of course, you can look on coldly at those acts of harm, but by the same token, if you choose to violate the law and resolve problems with violence, then you’re going to have to be responsible for that," Jiang Shu explained to Gary, "For instance, can you be certain you’re really dispensing justice? That you haven’t been used as a tool by the so-called ’victims’? Or what if your actions spread throughout Thirteen District, what then if people start imitating you? These imitators will surely be radicals, their ’dispensing of justice’ might lead to unnecessary harm, correct an error too forcefully, or even result in a wrongful judgement."

With these words, Jiang Shu had reminded Gary that he hadn’t considered all these complexities before taking action.

And with that said, Gary furrowed his brows.

Obviously, what Jiang Shu was saying made sense.

Jiang Shu didn’t go on, instead, he stood up while Gary was still lost in thought and began wandering the room aimlessly.

As the Smiling Face, his Deception Group had done things similar to what Gary was doing, so he had contemplated similar problems.

And the answer lay on the face of the puzzle, all of the fox’s schemes were cases of Deception, that so-called Deception being a natural barrier.

Even with fervent admirers wishing to imitate the crimes, it wouldn’t be easy, as not many in Lonely City knew Magic.

He also continuously paid attention to other issues; unlike the solitary Gary, the previous Deception Group operated as a full team, which allowed for more preventive measures.

Wait, solitary?

He paused in his steps near the weapons rack and ammunition box, where there was a full set of weapons ranging from large to small calibers.

Although he was not Wolf, with the intermittent firearm knowledge Wolf shared, he still recognized them.

The weapons and ammunition all came from the same arms dealer.

The Seks Group.

And...

Jiang Shu bent down slightly to examine them, noticing that the amount of ammunition wasn’t large and that the production dates weren’t from the same batch.

Meaning it was almost impossible for them to have been stolen by Gary in an attack on the Seks Group’s munitions factory.

For a loner, having uniform equipment was nearly impossible.

Could it be...

Had Gary already been recruited by the Seks Group?

A sharp alertness surged through Jiang Shu’s core as he quickly turned back to glance at Gary, who was still standing there, lost in thought.

Fortunately, Gary exhibited no reaction, which allowed Jiang Shu to breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, according to the typical narrative of dramas, when one discovers the opponent’s accidentally revealed clue, the opponent would also casually reveal their true colors.

"Gary," Jiang Shu directly pointed to the weapons and asked, "Where did these weapons come from?"

With the Mind Reading Technique, he need not worry too much about the nuances of conversation, for the answers he sought could be directly obtained by simply asking with the technique activated.

"Those weapons?" Gary followed his gesture and replied frankly, "They were financed by Evon Garcia."

But his expression became peculiar, and he continued, "You might not believe it, but he just gave these military supplies to me for nothing."

"Uh, I believe," Jiang Shu nodded to indicate his understanding.

If he didn’t know Evon Garcia, he probably wouldn’t believe it; after all, where would one find a fool who gives away so much weaponry for free?

Unfortunately, there are no such ifs. At that time, Evon Garcia had also handed over the highly valuable Black Silver to him, so Jiang Shu completely believed that Evon really would do such a thing.

And indeed, the result of the Mind Reading Technique confirmed it, Gary wasn’t deceitful.

So...

Had Evon Garcia actually been recruited by the Seks Group?

Jiang Shu appeared contemplative.

If this were true, it would explain why Evon Garcia’s strategies were entirely different from his father’s.

Seal Garcia advanced cautiously, his influence limited to a single district for years, while Evon Garcia was obviously more aggressive, his influence expanding throughout most of F district in just a few months.

With the support of the Seks Group, it wouldn’t be surprising if Evon managed to unify the entire underworld of Thirteen District.

This matter hinged on just how much support the Seks Group was providing Evon, and whether the other two groups were interested in getting involved.
