Chapter 591: Not The One In Charge

"Yep, that’s the one — and it’s exclusively for you... Jarvis."

A glint flickered across Lola’s eyes as she smirked.

There was a reason Lola preferred working alone back then. It was because of betrayal. Her trust toward others had been shaved away by her own family, and being part of Vito’s organization had only amplified that.

But since the Order was different—and deep in her heart, she wanted to help Atlas keep the Zorken family untouchable, so no one would dare hurt her children—she took this mission. Her goal might have been to make sure everyone would get out of here alive, but by achieving that, it would also send a message to those who had been eyeing the Order.

Even so, the realization that someone was leaking information about their movements set off alarm bells in her head.

So, Lola decided to do an elimination process.

By sending a message to those in the underground first, scratching them off the suspect list was more efficient. She could deal with the group with her later if this didn’t answer the questions in her head.

In other words, she put things to the test.

By giving out the hint [Do not listen] to those in the underground, they would find out she was bluffing. Meaning, even if she claimed there was another exit, if the traitor was among them, the mercenaries wouldn’t move toward the west side district.

If the mercenaries didn’t take action, then that meant the traitor was not among them.

So, that should narrow it down to the group she was with — the Bellemonte men, the boss, the lackey, and the very few men from Gigante. Who knew? They might have found the chance to report what was happening and what she was planning.

After all, these mercenaries reached District Five even before them.

Someone must have tipped them off, right?

That logic also applied to the big: [what if everyone in the underground facility were dead and only the traitor was left?]

If that were the case, they would have already been onto her, since she had exposed herself at a location where she knew hidden cameras were present.

What Lola didn’t consider was their comms.

It was an easy deduction, especially since her mind had been in overdrive since the mission began.

How could these people know about the west side?

If the traitor was among those in the underground, they should have known she was bluffing. But if someone was secretly listening, how would they know she was bluffing?

And for this many enemies to move within the district in such a short amount of time, it became easy to identify who was eavesdropping.

Jarvis.

The only man the governor trusted—and also the only one who actually had a brain in this government. After all, the governor was a well-known fool, and that was no secret to anyone.

Suddenly, a light chuckle was heard across everyone’s comms. And just hearing the first wave of that shallow sound, a glint flickered in her eyes.

She had heard that chuckle before, and it was something Lola would never forget.

After all, it was a chuckle she had once failed to mute.

"That took you some time," came Jarvis’s voice, making everyone connected to the line widen their eyes. "I was hopeful you’d figure it out faster than you did. But I won’t complain. I found all the conversation exchanges in this line quite... amusing."

"They’ll be executed in less than an hour," he added knowingly, clearly enjoying the silence on the line. "All five of them, including Hajime. And knowing you, I’m certain you’ll try to save a friend. You should try, Lune."

He could feel their terror. Their panic. And if there was anything he enjoyed most, it was this kind of game.

"I’d like to see you try, and see how you’ll turn the tides," he teased. "But this won’t be like years ago. I guarantee that."

Lola listened in silence. Then, a moment later, someone shouted on the same line.

"They’re here," a voice from the camp team said.

Jarvis’s eyes gleamed with triumph.

"When you and Hajime escaped this place, you should have promised yourselves never to return," he said. "And yet, not only did you come back, you even brought your friends. I wonder... if they regret listening to someone like you."

The smile on Lola’s face faded slightly as she lowered her head. For a few seconds, there was nothing but pure silence.

"Jarvis, I think you’re mistaken about one thing," she whispered, still keeping her gaze down. "I’m not the one in command here." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Jarvis arched a brow as the corners of her mouth curled into a smirk. "Oh? Then I wonder who is."

Finally, a familiar voice echoed through the line—one Jarvis recognized immediately by its strange, toneless quality.

"I am."
