The Man’s Decree

Ricky was secretly disgruntled, but he was helpless. All he could do was watch as Claude walked toward the cell.

Upon entering the prison cell, Claude saw Jared. A broad smile spread across his face as he excitedly said, “Mr. Chance, I’ve secured the special release order. I can escort you out of here right now.”

His face was lit up with a joyous smile, a hint of anticipation gleaming in his eyes. It seemed as though he could already envision everyone’s surprised expressions once they met Jared.

Jared pointed at Ezio as he said, “I’m not leaving. Use that special release order to take him away!”

With a calm demeanor, Jared seemed indifferent to whether or not he could escape the prison. What concerned him more was Ezio’s safety.

Claude then said with a hint of difficulty, “Mr. Chance, this special release order is specifically requested for you. General Jaime wishes to meet you. I told General Jaime about your situation, but no one believed me. They insisted that I take you to the general’s mansion for them to see for themselves. If this special release order was given to someone else and you couldn’t go to the general’s mansion, it would put me in a tough spot. Besides, many people might think I’m lying, and General Jaime might lose trust in me.”

In Claude’s voice, there was a hint of helplessness and urgency. He was at a loss on how to persuade Jared.
