In a secret room at the main base, Long Fei and Commander-in-Chief Li Jiaming stood in the adjoining compartment, looking into the interrogation room through one-way glass.
Inside, Jorge had both hands cuffed to an armchair. Salamander sat across from him.
"Salamander, you've captured so many people. You must have extracted plenty of intelligence already, so there's no need to get any from me, right? One more or one less of me makes no difference anyway."
Salamander said nothing. He merely narrowed his eyes at Jorge. Having been colleagues for so many years, he understood Jorge's character well.
When it came to leading troops, commanding battles, or even piloting skills, Jorge was indeed inferior to Salamander. But when it came to following others and choosing which master had a future—
Jorge was far better than Salamander in that regard.
Salamander had once served under and dealt with all three princes of the Dion Empire.
Second Prince Yelishao De was the most formidable and also the shrewdest. He knew how to judge the situation, and talented people surrounded him. Many of them had risen from the bottom ranks.
Why had Jorge not chosen Christopher, who held the highest status, or Alexandre, who was the most favored? Because if Jorge had pledged allegiance to either of them from the start, at most he would have been assigned some idle post, with no opportunity for advancement.
In contrast, Yelishao De knew how to employ people according to their abilities. He even knew when to let capable people handle matters themselves and bring out their greatest talents.
That was why Jorge had followed Yelishao De.
Now, there was absolutely no way Jorge was working for Christopher because Christopher had offered him some benefit. Even if Christopher had, he would only use Jorge temporarily before
