Chapter 120: 82. Escape the Natural Barrier_2

Translator: 549690339

“This is a headache for me, Jarvis. I am well aware that in the entire ‘Broken Coffin’ plan, aside from the soldiers fighting on the front lines, you and I are the ones bearing the greatest pressure and responsibility. We are both learning the Undead Runes and enduring the suspicion and doubt of our Imperial colleagues while risking our lives in the face of the ever-looming ‘Death Storm.’ If the ‘Broken Coffin’ plan succeeds, you should enjoy the honor with us. But how can we clear your name and allow you to legitimately embrace victory…”

Captain Murphy furrowed her brow, took a puff of her cigarette, and fell into thought. After a long time, she said:

“…I’ll find a way, Jarvis, I’ll find a way. In the Empire, only the Emperor can pardon someone’s sins. When the plan succeeds, I will emphasize your contributions in the report. If all goes well, the Emperor might absolve your debts and erase your sins, returning you a clean life.”

Noland Lee nodded and said:

“Thank you, Chief Officer…Why do you care so much about me, a Sin Soldier?

To be honest, I am a bit flattered.”

Captain Murphy shifted her center of gravity backward, leaned on the chair, and fell silent for a few seconds. Her eyes flickered, and her expression cycled between complex and calm.

She sighed gently and said:

“You don’t need to know the reason, Jarvis. I’m just following my heart, wanting to do something within my power that can change the Empire. In fact, I don’t know if I can clear your name, just like I don’t know where the Empire is headed…Alright, let’s stop here. You go get ready. I hope you come back safely.” “Alright, Chief Officer.” Noland Lee nodded, saluted, and turned to leave the tent.

The tent returned to silence.

Captain Murphy opened the personal file in front of her, looked at the word “Sin Soldier” on it, and fell into thought.

As Captain Murphy felt a headache coming on, Noland Lee stood outside the tent, facing the overcast sky, and sighed silently in his heart.

Clearing his name?

Ah, nevermind.

Noland Lee knew how difficult this would be.

Unless the Emperor personally issued an order, it would be impossible to clear his name written in the files.

That’s more than three million New Solon Currency.

The Weston Group would never allow such a debt to be canceled.

Who could come up with so much money to help a debtor pay off his debts?

Either way, Noland Lee had no hope of clearing his name.

Captain Murphy had good intentions, but it didn’t mean she could accomplish good deeds.
