“You think so?” Mezzle muttered, and without delay, Gladys nodded, holding onto the wry smile on her face.“I know so, General…” She paused for a while, seeming like she was trying to be certain that she had the General’s attention before she could continue. “The Commander has been through a lot for your sake and the sake of this camp. You owe him that service of making sure he stays alive so that you wouldn’t live with regret for the rest of your life. It would be very bad for you…” She held onto her wry smile even when Mezzle was staring at him with arched brows.“The Commander saved your wife, and is also the reason why we have developed so much in terms of technology and artificial intelligence. He is a rare kind, and that is why Yuri will not like to keep him alive now that he is done with him…” Mezzle was still paying attention, but the moment he realized that the lady was done talking, he sighed heavily, ready to break the silence.“You know so much, Gladys Hunt…” He whisper

Mezzle noticed the unusual spot on the painting, and without thinking twice, he poked it with the tip of his blade, pushing the button there. The clicking sound caused him to step backward, his eyes staring with a narrowed gaze. Soon, the hidden door revealed itself, opening widely and causing him to scoff. “Smart bastard!” He grunted, shaking his head slowly with a sinister smile all over his face.

Returning his gaze to the Ex-Commander, he took a deep breath, looking him in the eyes. “What’s all this?” He asked, his eyes still moving from one corner to the other. But just when he returned his gaze to Yuri and was about to speak, the ground suddenly parted in a box below him, causing him to fall inside at once. Mezzle grunted, almost falling to his knees as he looked around the dark box, his eyes unable to get a glance of any form of light.Angrily, he looked up, sighting Yuri who was nodding in satisfaction as he inched closer, and then he began to snigger. “I knew you were going to fall for it, Mezzle!” Yuri stood still, and then he pulled out another remote from his pocket, showing it to the General before he reached for the button. “Now for the main surprise…” He sniggered, looking Mezzle in the eyes. “You would never survive this…” He sa
