"You flatter me, sir. I'm just speaking my mind," Jiang Fei said.
"I can agree to your request and release Lina, but I have a condition," the consul said.
"Sir, if you have any request, just tell me. Even if you don't release Lina, I will do my best to fulfill it," Jiang Fei said.
"Good!" The consul nodded, then he looked Jiang Fei in the eyes and asked, "Then tell me, what is your identity in the three-dimensional world!"
"…" Jiang Fei was obviously stunned. He really did not expect the consul to suddenly ask such a question. However, in a flash, Jiang Fei secretly shook his head. It seemed that he had been too ostentatious. There were so many elites in this Gamma Dimension that could not solve the problem, but a guy from the slums like him could solve the problem. There must be something going on here.
"I'm still too arrogant …" Jiang Fei secretly said to himself. Back then, even Lina could doubt his identity, let alone an old fox like the consul. However, Jiang Fei was not very nervous about this because he had already thought of a countermeasure.
"Sir, did you notice?" Jiang Fei smiled.
"It was just a guess before, but now I'm very sure." The consul smiled.
"Then, aren't you going to call the guards?" Jiang Fei asked.
"Why should I call them? If you wanted to kill me, wouldn't you have done it long ago? Why wait until today? "The consul asked with a smile.
"Hehe, there are some things I'm hiding from you, but you should be able to understand. For someone like me whose memory hasn't been completely erased, I guess anyone would be careful to hide their secrets, right?" Jiang Fei said with a smile.
"That's the truth. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't tell anyone about it. After all, it would be risking my life." The consul nodded.
Like Lina, the consul also did not think that Jiang Fei came to the Gamma Dimension on his own. He also thought that Jiang Fei was a baby born in the Life Extension Center. However, for some unknown reason, his memory was preserved in part or in whole, unlike other babies born in the Life Extension Center whose memory was completely erased.
"Sir, it's good that you understand," Jiang Fei said.
"Looks like you've been hiding well all these years. You have so much knowledge, but you're willing to live in the slums. Looks like you're quite good at hiding. Then why are you showing it now?" The Consul asked calmly as if he didn't care that Ralph had retained the memories of his past life.
"Who wouldn't want to seize the opportunity when it's right in front of them? Who would want to live a life of hardship? "Jiang Fei asked.
"That's true!" The consul nodded. Although the children from the Life Extension Center looked like ordinary people, they had no parents and no family background. Therefore, it was obvious that they would not be able to survive in the wealthy district. In the end, most of them would end up in the slums. Therefore, the consul was not surprised by Ralph's experience in the first half of his life.
"What do you think of the three-dimensional world and this world?" the consul asked.
"You should have guessed it, right? They were all smart people, so there was no need to beat around the bush. Since I'm already here, I might as well take things as they come. Although I still retain some of my memories, the three-dimensional world has nothing to do with me anymore. Although this place is far less exciting than the three-dimensional world, I can't go back. So, why bother worrying about this? "
"I knew it! It's nice to talk to smart people! " The Consul laughed. The reason why he didn't attack Ralph even after he guessed that Ralph might have retained his memories of the three-dimensional world was because he felt that Ralph was a smart person. Since he couldn't return to the three-dimensional world, this place was his home. He had to live here, so he couldn't destroy this place for the sake of the three-dimensional world. "Don't worry.
As a ruler, as a person who stood at the top of the Gamma Dimension, the consul could not understand the concept of sacrifice. To him, everything had to serve him. Sacrificing himself in exchange for the happiness of others was something only an idiot would do. Smart people would not do such things.
Therefore, the consul never thought that Ralph would sacrifice himself and destroy the passage between the Gamma Dimension and the three-dimensional world to save the three-dimensional world.
Moreover, as far as the consul knew, Ralph could not possibly know anything about the Snow Beast. Even if he wanted to destroy the passage, he would not be able to do so.
Because of these thoughts, so far, the consul still felt that Ralph was a useful person, so he did not choose to get rid of him. After all, there were many difficulties in the Gamma Dimension that still needed Ralph's advice.
"Alright, sir. I've said what I need to say. As for my identity in the three-dimensional world, I really can't tell you. I only retained a part of my memories. As for my identity, I seem to have a very high status in the Universe Empire, but I don't remember the specifics." Jiang Fei said.
"Mmm!" The consul nodded. He did not care about Jiang Fei's specific identity. The purpose of the showdown with Jiang Fei today was to see if Ralph would deny it or face it calmly.
If Ralph refused to admit it, then the consul would have to be more careful. However, if Ralph told the whole story, it meant that he had really thought it through and wanted to start over in the Gamma Dimension. For such a person, it was entirely possible to continue using him.
"Sir, what about Lina?" Jiang Fei asked.
"I can let her go, but what about after I let her go? What do you plan to do with her? Keep a mistress in your house? "The consul showed an expression that all men understood.
"Sir, please don't joke around. I personally sentenced her father to death. How can she be with me?" Jiang Fei shrugged.
"She's a woman! She doesn't have to have a heart, just a person. "The consul said with a smile.
"But …" Jiang Fei wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the consul.
"Alright, you don't have to say anymore. If you want me to spare her, then you have to accept her. Only then I can rest assured. If you don't want her, then I'll just kill her directly. That way, there will be no future trouble!" The consul said.
"Then … Alright! Thank you for your kindness, sir! " Jiang Fei bowed to the consul, but in his heart, he secretly thought that none of these old foxes were easy to deal with.
After leaving the consul's place, Jiang Fei returned to his residence on Crystal Street. Tomorrow was the day of the public trial. Although the consul would definitely die, at least he had protected Lina. However, Jiang Fei did not protect Lina because of any personal relationship, but because he wanted to plant a seed in the Gamma Dimension again!
