Chapter 1841: Lies After Lies… Fake After Fake… Always From Behind.

The entire chamber was unlike any other chamber he had encountered inside the tower.

Displays covered nearly every wall, while enormous control systems occupied the room, continuously processing streams of information.

Yet, no technicians were monitoring the systems, no soldiers guarding the entrances, and no commander standing before the central consoles.

Except for only two invaders who remained inside the command centre of Zeta.

Jonathan stood several meters away from Allen, gripping his weapon tightly as red particles circulated through the barrel.

The nozzle remained pointed directly at Allen’s head.

Allen was still on the floor, his breathing uneven as he stared at the weapon aimed toward him.

“You fucking piece of shit! Die, Motherfucker!!”

BOOM!

No, it’s not from Jonathan’s weapon.

Something struck him from behind with such tremendous force that his entire body was launched forward before he could even understand what had happened.

“Ghhk!”

His feet left the ground, his weapon slipped from his hand, and his armoured body crashed violently against the opposite wall.

For several seconds, his vision became nothing more than blurred shapes and flickering lights.

Jonathan pressed one trembling hand against the floor and forced himself upward.

Before he could fully stand, however, he noticed someone standing in front of him.

Jonathan slowly raised his head.

Young Aether stood there.

Jonathan blinked several times, then Jonathan noticed Aether’s left hand.

Jonathan’s expression immediately changed.

“What happened to your left hand? Are you alright?”

His voice carried so much worry that Aether briefly frowned.

Aether stared at him for several seconds before asking coldly, “What are you about to do, Allen?”

Jonathan’s entire body stiffened when he heard the name.

“I-I wasn’t trying to harm him…!” Jonathan hurriedly explained as he swallowed against the dryness in his throat.

“He was the one who went after me first, and he tried to harm me before I even had a chance to understand what was happening!”

Jonathan pointed toward Allen while desperately maintaining his gaze on Aether.

“Aether, he is trying to frame me now! I swear that I wasn’t trying to kill him!”

Young Aether remained completely silent as he stared at Jonathan.

After several seconds, his eyes shifted toward Allen.

Allen was still lying on the floor, and he seemed completely lost regarding what had happened between them, holding his stomach in pain.

Aether slowly looked back at Jonathan.

“Jonny, I already know that this entire situation is a trap.”

Jonathan’s expression froze.

“What are you talking about? Trap?”

Young Aether gave a hollow laugh as he slowly approached him.

“Oh, please, bitch. Do you honestly think I am foolish enough to believe everything you say?”

Jonathan instinctively pressed his back against the wall.

Aether leaned slightly closer, his eyes remaining fixed upon Jonathan’s face.

“I fucking know that this entire thing was your plan from the beginning, and I deliberately walked into it because I wanted to discover what you were actually trying to accomplish.”

Jonathan remained silent.

Aether slowly turned his head toward the enormous control system.

His expression became increasingly serious as he examined the countless surveillance feeds displayed across the surrounding screens.

“We are standing inside the fucking heart of Zeta City, where the security should be so heavily controlled that entering this place without authorisation should be practically impossible.”

He turned his attention back toward Jonathan.

“Yet somehow, we simply walked into this tower and reached the top floor without encountering any meaningful resistance whatsoever.”

Aether continued speaking before he could interrupt.

“Not a single soldier properly stopped us, and not even one security drone managed to intercept our movement through the tower.”

He gestured toward the enormous chamber surrounding them.

“Beta had thousands of soldiers stationed throughout this tower, so why are there barely a hundred soldiers protecting this entire section now?”

“That isn’t merely suspicious, Jonny, because the difference is far too fucking obvious.”

Jonathan remained silent for several seconds.

Then his expression suddenly changed as though he had only just realised what Aether was talking about.

“O-Oh… right, yeah, man.”

Jonathan gave an awkward laugh while scratching the side of his helmet.

“This really was way too easy when you think about it.”
