Chapter 166: Hope of the Future (3) (2/2)
Milton tried to sound as truthful as possible Of course, it WAS the truth But even so, it was impossible to ask them to just believe this
“That’s a lie, there’s been a survivor’s testiht It’s a self-evident truth that Grand Duke Forrest was behind the slave traders”
“Lie, that’s a lie!”
Soh they were flustered by Milton’s unconventional move, it was iain, those ere loudly shouting that Milton’s words were a lie, could also be a decoy Before the decoys’ opinions could spread, Milton spoke
“Letover my own people to the slave traders?”
Someone responded to his question
“Isn’t it because you wanted ht you’
Milton stared straight at the man who had immediately answered his question
“You said it was for ht… sir”
The man was flustered to have been directly pointed out It was a pity, but the moment he decided to show such a confrontational attitude, Milton itimacy, Milton had to point out a decent opponent and debate each point with hi this wouldn’t reveal the truth, but he could appeal to them to look closer at the truth That nameless man became Milton’s opponent
“Do you kno much money has been invested into the port city on the West Coast?”
“Hoould I know that…sir?”
The opponent, already caught up in Milton’s momentum, mumbled his answer
Then, Milton loudly and clearly responded so that everyone could hear his answer
“In order to absorb and revitalize the Northern region, we needed to invest at least…”
Milton paused as if he aiting to old into the port city”
The people became dazed by that nue nuold was coet of a country

The y and had taken part in the protests, but they knew that the kingdoht After all, their standard of living had drastically improved, so how could they deny it? But they had still participated in the protests Whyto confront the kingdoh their life had improved? They only had one reason That reason came out of someone’s mouth
“We are… Republicans”
Someone squeezed out those words The words that seeed out created ripples in the crowd
“That’s right We will not accept the oppressor’s persecution”
“That’s right! We will not stop fighting for an equal world!”
“Let’s beco live the Republic!!”
