There was no such thing as a peaceful existence. Instead, it was merely the dark things lurking in the background, continuously breeding and rotting away.
Jack's expression darkened further, clearly taken aback by my calm and resolute demeanor. His eyes widened as if searching for some weakness in me, but ultimately he could only lower his head in defeat, muttering a low curse.
"Do you think this will lead to your victory? I'll tell you, it's not that easy! I've been in this game for years, and you can't just take me down like that."
I smiled disdainfully and shook my head.
"Jack, don't you realize by now? True victory isn't achieved through power and status. It's attained through justice and truth. Your crimes are exposed to the light, and no matter how much you struggle, you cannot escape the law's judgment."
With that, I turned to leave the prison, each step filled with newfound conviction.
As I walked outside, I felt the bright sunlight on my face, as if my life could finally transcend to a higher level.
I made my way to a nearby café and called Ethan.
"Ethan, I just left the prison. Jack finally revealed his true colors, but I managed to maintain my composure. His words, though painful, have only strengthened my resolve to uncover the truth."
My voice held a barely detectable tremor, but it was mostly filled with determination and certainty.
"What did he say?" On the other end of the line, Ethan's voice was low and concerned, clearly expecting that this conversation would be anything but easy.
I took a deep breath and summarized Jack's despicable remarks.
