Chapter 1001: Chapter 27 Jason: Someone Gave Me an Offer to Compete That I Couldn’t Refuse_2

“And they’re even giving me the rank of Superintendent, which is quite a breakthrough from the ‘inherent circle.'”

Ryosuke chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Then, the officer’s smile turned inexplicably strange.

It was a sneer.

Mixed with sadness.

“I used to try hard to get promoted to Superintendent, but the rank of Superintendent was my limit; most likely, I’d become one upon retirement, but meanwhile? No chance.”

“After all, I am not a top graduate like Urashima.”

“And now?”

“I’ve reached it effortlessly.”

“But I don’t feel joyful.”

Saying so, Ryosuke lowered his head.

“That’s being overly sentimental!”

Jason commented.

“Hmm?”

Ryosuke looked at Jason, puzzled.

He never expected Jason to comfort him; he just instinctively wanted to vent his feelings to someone.

The people around weren’t appropriate.

Urashima?

Although a nice guy, some things were destined not to be told to Urashima.

“Do you think that something not earned by your own efforts is not a true achievement?”

“Do you feel that by doing so, you won’t be recognized, that you’re as wretched as those parasites you disdain in your heart?”

“But have you ever considered that everything that happened yesterday was obtained by risking your life?”

“Don’t tell me the gunshot wound on your arm is just for show.”

“Talk about being sentimental.”
