"…" In the face of Lina's request, Jiang Fei was a little speechless. When faced with death, human nature was revealed. The previously arrogant sheriff was so decadent in the face of death. However, his daughter, Lina, although a woman, was so strong. This made Jiang Fei have to look at her in a new light.
"I can't guarantee this, but I will help you fight for it. If possible, I will try to fight for an ending like life imprisonment," Jiang Fei said.
"Thank you for your kindness. Instead of life imprisonment, I would rather die," Lina said.
"Sigh! Why do you have to do this? "Jiang Fei sighed.
"Okay, I'm a little tired. I want to go back." Lina turned around. She was also afraid of death, but she did not want outsiders to see her timid appearance.
"Alright!" Jiang Fei nodded. Then, a prison guard took Lina away.
After coming out of the prison, Jiang Fei drove directly to the consul's country villa. Soon, he saw the consul.
"My Lord!" Jiang Fei greeted him formally.
"You went to see them?" The consul asked with a smile. Obviously, Jiang Fei's every move was under the consul's control. This time, the chief sheriff and Lina made it clear that it was a test for Jiang Fei.
"Yes." Jiang Fei did not hide it.
"What was the result?" The consul asked.
"The sheriff is not worthy to sit in his position. Sir, you made a mistake," Jiang Fei said.
"Oh?" The consul did not expect Jiang Fei to say such a thing. His interest was also aroused, so he asked, "Since you think I made a mistake, what do you think of him?"
"He cherishes his life when doing big things, but forgets his life when seeing small benefits," Jiang Fei said.
"That's a bit interesting. Why do you say that?" The consul smiled.
"Actually, I have this opinion of the sheriff for a long time. This is one of the important reasons why I chose you in the end." Jiang Fei paused for a moment, then continued, "I'm not afraid that you think too much, sir. When I made the choice, I was simply weighing the pros and cons. I want to follow the person who is most likely to win, not die with the loser."
"So you're saying that you think highly of me?" The consul smiled.
"That's right. If I had stayed on the sheriff's side and killed you, things would not have been as simple as the sheriff thought. He would not have become the master of the Gamma Dimension just because of your death. On the contrary, Colonel Kno might have been the one who had the last laugh," said Jiang Fei.
"Why do you say that?" The Archon asked.
"It's because of what I said earlier. The sheriff is a person who cherishes his life for big things, but forgets his life for small benefits," Jiang Fei said.
"What do you mean?" The consul seemed even more interested.
"Although I have only been with the sheriff for a short time, I can feel from his decisions that he is a person who is afraid of death. He is also short-sighted and obsessed with the benefits in front of him. Therefore, I concluded that even if he killed you, he would not be a match for Colonel Knor who is claiming to avenge you."
"You still haven't told me how you came to this conclusion." The consul asked.
"The reason why I came to this conclusion was mainly based on his decisions." Jiang Fei paused for a moment, then continued, "The first time was during the street battle. At that time, although you had the upper hand in terms of military strength and more mechs, the military and police were obviously hesitant during the battle. Obviously, they were afraid of attacking the rat for fear of breaking the vases. Although I don't know what they were afraid of, I can foresee that as long as we hold on, you will eventually choose to retreat. After that, we can negotiate, or we can think of other ways, but it's better than being chased out of the city and the soldiers can't even eat."
"What else?" The consul nodded. He did have some reservations at that time. If the sheriff's clone army had chosen to hold on, he would not have dared to launch an all-out attack.
"Also, when the sheriff and his cronies were stationed in the suburbs, they let the soldiers under them eat livestock feed. Even so, the soldiers did not have enough to eat. When the army was defeated, the sheriff could only rely on these soldiers. If he had the slightest bit of intelligence, even if it was just for show, he would have to share the joys and sorrows of the soldiers. However, he enjoyed it alone and did not care about the suffering of the soldiers at all." Jiang Fei continued.
"Anything else?" The consul asked.
"Yes!" Jiang Fei nodded, then continued, "In the last choice, the sheriff did not choose to attack the nearest granary when his soldiers were starving. Instead, he chose to travel a long distance to attack the faraway D5 industrial zone. To be able to make such an unwise decision, he is not a very good man."
"This sheriff has been described as useless by you. Does he not have any good points?" The consul asked.
"Yes." Jiang Fei's answer surprised the consul.
"What good points does he have?" The consul asked.
"He has a good daughter." Jiang Fei said.
"What do you mean?" The consul asked.
"I don't have to flatter Lina's ability, but she is at least a few times better than the sheriff." Jiang Fei said.
"It seems that you are praising her." The consul said.
"Kind of." Jiang Fei did not deny it.
"Then, what is the purpose of your visit this time?" The consul asked.
"I am here to negotiate with you." Jiang Fei said.
"For the sheriff or for his daughter?" The consul asked with a smile.
"The sheriff must die. I will not do such a useless thing." Jiang Fei said.
"So, you are here to negotiate for his daughter?" The consul asked.
"Yes!" Jiang Fei admitted without hesitation.
"Then, what do you think I should do with her?" The consul continued to ask.
"Let her go." Jiang Fei said.
"Let her go just like that? No punishment at all? "The consul was stunned. In his opinion, Ralph did not play by the rules.
"For Lina, there is not much difference whether you kill her or not. She is different from the sheriff. The sheriff is the culprit. If you do not kill him, it will not be enough to deter the criminals. Moreover, if you do not kill the sheriff, you will not be able to explain to the civilians. But Lina is different. It doesn't matter if she's dead or alive. Besides, she won't be a threat to you even if she's alive. In fact, it could even be said that if you forgive her, you'll be showing your kindness. "
"Ralph, I thought that you were a genius when it came to politics. I did not expect you to be so good at negotiating," The consul said with a smile.
