Unspeakable bubbles

"Different."

Rhodes sighed: "Bubble is still a child, and children are very emotional."

"What if Bubble gets furious and takes it out on us once we confront him?"

"This risk is too great; we might be the first to go under."

"Then why did you even bother to reveal your hand!"

Old Ghost said irritably, "Why didn't you just keep it a secret all along?"

"..."

Rhodes fell silent, recalling a question someone had asked him a long, long time ago.

If you had a devastating weapon with a activation button, pressing it would mean the destruction of the entire Federation.

So, will you press it or not?

Don't rush to answer; think it through first.

Because you, your parents, elders, relatives and friends are all in the Federation.

Once pressed, it becomes the option of 'mutual destruction'.

Rhodes had long forgotten how he used to answer, but if someone asked him that question now, his answer would only be one thing—press!

Why don't you press it?

Why shouldn't I press it?

I've suffered for so many years, barely surviving by relying on mutated creatures, while you guys are having a great time over there!

hate it!

I hate it!

To die together? Not at all!

Killing one breaks even, killing two guarantees a profit, and if you can drag the entire Federation down with you...

Well, just thinking about such a wonderful thing makes Rhodes unable to help but laugh out loud!

Years of hellish living had long since changed Rhodes; he was no longer the 'evil man' with any moral compass.

At this moment, Rhodes was nothing more than a walking corpse wearing a mask!

This mask, named 'Boss Rhodes,' allows him to gain the trust of the inmates, lets him live a slightly better life on Hell Island than others, and... lets him continue to play the role of his former self!

But, that's not possible now.

The arrival of that little girl caused a crack in Rhodes' mask.

As if he had received a divine revelation, he suddenly realized what he truly wanted!

Rhodes, he finally saw himself clearly!

The man was genuinely grateful to the young girl; if it weren't for her, he might have ended up playing the role of 'Boss Rhodes' for the rest of his life.

Well, in fact, Rhodes felt that even now, he still hadn't completely shaken off the influence of 'Boss Rhodes'.

If I had to explain why...

Only Rhodes, the boss, would make the initial preparations for a 'prison break'.

The real me will only tell the little girl that cruel truth.

Swaying left and right

Undecided

This is a true reflection of Rhodes at this moment.

So, we must wait!

Rhodes is waiting, and so is Boss Rhodes!

If Bubble can't complete those two tasks, then she won't become the 'destructive weapon' Rhodes envisioned.

In that case, Rhodes would give up, and Boss Rhodes would begin preparing his plan to escape Hell Island.

But, but even those two questions are no challenge for Bubble, and the little girl can even give the answers in a short time!

Then, Rhodes will completely tear off the mask of Boss Rhodes!

Such a young super strong person, a top expert in the mysterious side who can display mystery in the Dead Sea, a terrifying girl who can scare away even the Chaos Lord!

That's not all; if she also possesses the ability to turn the impossible into the possible...

Rhodes could hardly imagine her future.

Perhaps, even becoming a peerless powerhouse is not her ultimate goal!

Such a person is enough to become the weapon that destroys the Federation.

And he himself happens to hold the activation button called 'Truth'.

"Rhodes, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Just like you said, if we tell Bubble the truth, we might be the first to go down."

"You're much smarter than us, so why take such a big risk to come clean?"

Old Ghost looked puzzled: "I don't understand. Could it be that you have some deeper intention?"

"Ah, I've thought about it again, and I think I'll pass."

Rhodes slapped his forehead: "Hey, just to disgust the senator, we're going to drag everyone down with us? That's such a bad deal!"

"..."

Old Gui's heart tightened. Could this kind of thing really be described as a bargain?

Rhodes, something's not right.

"Don't worry, when has Boss Rhodes ever let you down?"

Rhodes said with a grin, "Wait a little longer, give me a little more time."

"I'll definitely come up with a perfect plan to get everyone out of this hellhole forever!"

"Oh, that's good."

Old Ghost nodded. "However, Rhodes, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Tell me if you have any difficulties, and I can help you share the burden."

"What's so difficult about it!"

Rhodes changed his tone: "I was a little worried about you, but now that you're still the same, I'm relieved."

"What do I have to worry about?"

"Well, Old Ghost, you've had the most complicated experiences among us."

Rozis stammered, "I've told you the truth again, originally..."

(I originally thought you would become like me.)

"Well, about that matter, of course I'm very angry!"

Old Ghost shook his head: "But one thing at a time, I won't take my anger out on others."

"By the way, I think it was only right for me to punch you, so don't expect me to apologize!"

"Haha, how could that be!"

"It's so good that you can think positively about it."

(It's such a pity.)
