Bab 189: Chapter 100: Because, He Is Gerard (third update~please subscribe~please vote~)

In Jason's view, a war horse stood rigid, lifeless.

From its markings, one could tell it belonged to the Harbor Defense Army.

More importantly, a decapitated head was hanging on one side of the saddle.

In the mouth of the head, there was a letter.

Reed examined it carefully before taking out the letter.

However, he didn't immediately hand the letter over to Jason, but instead closed the head's eyes before passing it on.

Opening the envelope, the letter read—

Gerard:

Do you want your soldiers to live?

Do you want the widows and wounded of Fort Swallow to live?

Come to Banana Bay alone before sunset.

We'll be waiting for you there.

...

There was no signature.

There were also no overt threats.

But the content of the letter was more effective than any threat.

After skimming the content, Jason handed the letter to Reed.

Reed's complexion changed drastically after reading the letter.

But the personal servant didn't directly urge Jason to do anything.
