Firstly, you need to don a collar

"The Feld district is currently undergoing a power purge, resulting in a profound upheaval of the original situation. Yet, at this moment, Miss Ietra is unaware of all the events unfolding outside. For she has now fallen as a captive, enduring the same treatment as Miss Rei. One might say they truly are good sisters, as even in adversity, their circumstances are so similar.

In the dimly lit room, Ietra finds herself bound to a chair. Gazing at the man before her, she harbors a vague suspicion in her heart. With a grim expression, she addresses him, 'Is all this your machination?' Although uncertain of his identity, she knows that his appearance now, in light of recent events, is undoubtedly connected to him. 'If Miss Ietra is referring to the conflict between the Earth Gang and the Hummingbird Gang, then yes,' the man standing before Ietra naturally answers, revealing himself to be Jonas. At this moment, he has no intention of concealing the truth, having answered Ietra's question truthfully. After all, the matter has concluded, and Ietra poses no threat to Jonas. Therefore, he doesn't mind if Ietra learns the truth of the situation.

Hearing Jonas's words, Ietra's eyes reveal a 'just as expected' expression. Then, she takes a deep breath and asks, 'So, who exactly are you?' At this, Jonas, as if just realizing it, apologizes with a hint of regret, 'My apologies, I forgot to introduce myself...' After organizing his thoughts for a moment, he continues, 'I am Jonas Veiteng. Although Miss Ietra may not know me, I believe we will become acquainted in due time.' Upon hearing this name, Ietra's pupils contract, connecting many events in her mind. 'This is all a conspiracy by the consortium!' Just as Jonas said, Ietra may not be familiar with his name, but she is well aware of the significance behind the surname Veiteng.

The Feld district, being a second-tier area, is not an unusual target for the consortium's attention. With these thoughts, Ietra feels deeply powerless, only raising her head after some time to ask, 'Is Rei with you?' Jonas's eyes show a hint of surprise, then he smiles and reassures her, 'It seems Miss Ietra has already guessed the ins and outs of the matter... You need not worry about Miss Rei's safety; her situation is quite secure at the moment, without any harm.' Simply put, her mental state is a bit confused.

Of course, Ietra is unaware of these details. Upon hearing Jonas admit that Rei is indeed in his hands, Ietra's emotions are visibly stirred. She tries to stand up but finds her hands firmly restrained by the chair's shackles. 'You...!' Taking a deep breath, she calms herself before speaking again, 'What do you want, or rather, what do you want me to do?'

In just a few minutes, she has already analyzed the current situation... It's clear that the other party's capture of her must have another purpose, meaning she still holds chips that can be exchanged for benefits. Otherwise, the other party could simply kill or exile her. Moreover, imprisoning her, aside from increasing their workload, serves no purpose. In other words, even if she has completely fallen as a captive, she still retains the qualification to negotiate with the other party. All of this is premised on Jonas proposing his desired conditions.

She thought the other party's conditions would be to relinquish the Earth Gang's benefits, and so on. However, Jonas's next words leave Ietra momentarily unable to react. 'I want Miss Ietra to join the Veiteng Consortium.' '... What did you say?' The silence around them is deafening as Ietra struggles to understand why he would make such a demand. After a while, she manages a somewhat incredulous response, 'Do you want the Earth Gang to join the consortium? Are you serious?' It's not that the condition is too harsh, but rather, the strength of the gang's members is uneven. Most gang members are just riffraff compared to the security department members. After all, those who are truly capable have long since joined the consortium, leaving most gang members as nothing but rubbish. No consortium is willing to spend money to support a group of useless rubbish, especially rubbish that is likely to betray them at any moment.

In a sense, the members of the Earth Gang may actually wish to join the consortium. Of course, whether or not they will obey orders after joining the consortium is another matter entirely. Jonas's goal is naturally not to completely integrate the Earth Gang with the Veiteng Consortium; he wouldn't bother with such a thankless task. His goal has always been one thing.

'It's not about letting the Earth Gang join the Veiteng Consortium; it's about letting Miss Ietra join the Veiteng Consortium.' After a pause, Jonas speaks again, 'I believe Miss Ietra understands the implications of these words.' Hearing this, Ietra immediately rejects, 'You're dreaming!' 'I think, before Miss Ietra makes a decision, it's best to understand the situation.' Jonas softly suggests, 'Aside from Miss Rei, all the core members of the Earth Gang have already been captured by us.' With these words, he looks into Rei's eyes, then continues, 'Before making a decision, consider their situation.'

For Ietra, this is undoubtedly a blatant threat. However, the key is that Ietra currently has no other choice. To save them, she can only choose to compromise. After a long time, the girl finally speaks up, 'Are you sure you will release them?' 'Of course, I am a person of integrity.' Jonas smiles and reassures her.

After taking a deep breath, Ietra asks, 'What do I need to do next?' 'Firstly, put this on.' —— It's a silver collar."
