Chapter 190


    Teddy had reservations. "Boss, it wasn''t easy to get our base to its current size."


    A scowl clouded Bryce''s face. "Have you forgotten how Alpha Outpost grew strong?"


    Their leader had connections to the big shots in Swan Hill, which allowed him to get supplies of


    firearms. In a short time, they gathered forces andeven dared to snatch resources from Silver


    Asylum.


    If they continued to indulge in their power, their base would be swallowed up sooner orter.


    Perhaps they could put Jasper to good use? And if they were mistaken about him, they could


    always kill himter.


    Teddy pondered. "Boss, are you thinking of using Jasper to deal with Alpha Outpost?"


    Bryce nodded, sitting on the couch, sipping his whiskey, his leg casually propped up on the table.


    "In this apocalyptic world, it''s hard to get a clear picture of Jasper''s background. But if I''m not


    mistaken, he should be from the military or police force, and holds a high rank. Otherwise, he


    wouldn''t dare to confront The Chaos. Using him against Alpha Outpost might be a breakthrough."


    Teddy looked worried. "He doesn''t talk much, but he''s definitely a thorn in the side. He knew that


    our people bombed the 18th floor and yet he joined us as though nothing happened. I think we


    should be careful."


    Bryceughed. "No matter how powerful they are, once they enter the Silver Asylum, they must


    follow our rules."


    Indeed, Jasper seemed capable, but he was too young and his confrontation with The Chaos was


    all hot blood.


    "Keep an eye on them at all times," Bryce said with a cunning smile. "They clearly want something


    from us. When the timees, they will do their best to show their value. Once they take down


    Alpha Outpost, we can get rid of them." He wouldn''t allow anyone stronger than him to exist in


    Silver Asylum.


    Teddy hesitated. "But Alpha Outpost has strong backing. Can Jasper handle them?"


    Bryce''s smile was polite, but his eyes were cold as a snake''s. "If he can, great. If not, we can use


    him as cannon fodder. We have nothing to lose."


    As they were discussing how to use Jasper against Alpha Outpost, Piersen suddenly entered.


    "Boss, those bastards from Alpha Outpost have destroyed our guard posts."


    "What?" Bryce sprang to his feet.


    "They drove an armored car and ttened our guard posts and roadblocks. They killed seven or


    eight of our people. Only one managed to crawl back to report the news, but he lost too much blood


    and just died of heatstroke. Those sons of bitches even dared to send a message for you to ''wait for


    your punishment.''"


    Bryce''s face turned grim, his polite demeanor now reced with fury. He picked up his whiskey


    ss and smashed it on the floor. "How dare they!"


    ......


    Bryce had made a pretty speech, but the amodation provided for Jasper was just a two-room


    apartment with passable furnishings.


    Before entering, Jasper made a gesture to Ste and Rosie.


    Rosie walked into the apartment, pouting unhappily. "Jasper, I want to go home."


    "We can’t live in our old home anymore."


    "But I don''t like it here." Rosie wriggled her fingers, looking a little aggrieved. "It''s too small, unlike


    our spacious home."


    Steforted her. "Rosie, we''re going to live here from now on. It may be a bit crude now, but


    your brother will work hard to give us a better ce to live."


    "Jasper, I want to live in a vi with air conditioning."


    "Bark!" Cooper agreed.


    "Alright, we''ll have a house, and we''ll have food."


    While chatting, Jasper checked every corner of the house. There were recording devices behind the


    living room sofa and under the master bedroom bed. There were no video surveince cameras,


    probably due to ack of equipment or expertise.


    The small room was for Rosie. Ste instructed the dog, "Cooper, you must protect Rosie."


    "Bark!" Cooper epted the honorable mission.


    The master bedroom was for Ste and Jasper. They began to settle in. Taking advantage of a trip


    to the bathroom, the two slipped into Arcadia. Jasper took the lead. "What do you think of Bryce?"


    Ste scoffed. "He does not seem that capable to me."


    He was a ruthless criminal who used the apocalypse to gather power. In order to distinguish himself


    from usual gangsters, he made himself look ridiculous.


    "They''ve lost their humanity. We have to protect Rosie."


    Ever since thest incident, Ste had suspected them of losing their humanity. Today, seeing Bryce


    offer a thirteen-year-old girls to Jasper, she realized that these were nothing but savage demons.


    "Are they beautiful?"


    Jasper was taken aback. "What?"


    "Are the girls beautiful?"


    "I didn''t notice." Jasper countered, "What do you think?"


    Ste nced at him. "I didn''t notice either."


    She really hadn''t noticed. What kind of fate could these girls expect in a ce like this? As a


    woman, she felt extremely ufortable.


    Bryce could offer him a dozen girls at once. She didn''t dare to imagine how many more women


    were in this base.


    Silver Asylum was able to collect several carloads of supplies every day, enough to support


    thousands of people. Moreover, on the way in, they saw severalrge warehouses and more than a


    dozenrge trucks, all of which belonged to Silver Asylum.


    Jasper thought for a moment. "Ste, do you think Bryce is afraid of death?"


    He had security checks at the entrance and numerous bodyguards guarding the gate, yet he still


    wore a bulletproof vest under his pajamas. He must have done a lot of guilty things to be so afraid


    of revenge.


    Not only was he afraid of death, but he also tried to sow discord. He tried to drive a wedge between


    her and Jasper the moment they met. He thought his tactics were clever, but they were actually


    clumsy.

    With such a person in charge, it wasn''t hard to guess the rtionship between the high-ranking


    officials of Silver Asylum. They were all driven by self-interest.


    After getting some understanding of Silver Asylum, Ste asked, "What''s the situation with Alpha


    Outpost?"


    Jasper had participated in the extermination of Alpha Outpost in his past life, but he hadn''t paid


    attention to the final judgment, focusing instead on other disaster relief efforts. However, he was


    aware of their basic situation.


    "Alpha Outpost was formed by a group of soldiers who had been dismissed from the army for major


    misconduct. They took advantage of the apocalypse to hoard weapons. They''re all ruthless and


    brave. This time, they probably set their sights on the rich resources of Swan Hill and wanted to


    easily harvest supplies, which is why they shed with Silver Asylum."


    Don''t be fooled by the fact that the Alpha Outpost had only been set up for a short while, they were


    by no means inferior to Silver Asylum. Aside from being armed to the teeth, they also put on a show


    of strength to the world, boasting about the big guns backing them up.


    Bryce, despite being a bit of a chicken, wasn''t about to spit out a piece of steak once he''d sunk his


    teeth into it. He''d already had quite a few scuffles in such a short time, you could say they were


    pretty evenly matched. Otherwise, Jasper wouldn''t go about fanning the mes between them.


    Ste wasn''t fond of Bryce, "That Bryce guy is as crafty as a fox, always scheming and calcting,


    he doesn''t even trust his own people, let alone us."


    "We''re just using him." Jasper said coldly, "No matter how deep the fox buries its tail, it will show up


    eventually. We just need to watch the show at the banquet."


    The fire had been lit, Bryce hardly had any chance to keep tabs on them, unless he didn''t mind


    getting his pants burnt.
