Chapter 660 - The Guilty Party Files a Suit (2/2)

“Thank you for your honesty, Little Gaya”

“You’re welcohness”

The snow fluttered without any intentions of stopping Everything fell into silence On the other side, the scenery in the Fortress in Land of Atonement presented a different view

“The report has been delivered to Royal Highness Lydia Do you think this is a good choice, Mr Rhode?”

Lize puckered her broorriedly

After Rhode returned to the Fortress, he had explained the entire happenings to Marlene, got her to write a report about the clash in her name and deliver it to the Royal Faht Lauren face to face and even killed ed to the Royal Family and naturally had a lack of favorable iht, her nature was relatively peaceful Although she was furious that the investigations team tried to detain Rhode and his subordinates, she felt that Rhode had taught them a sufficient lesson and he actually wished to take one step farther… Was this really fine? Besides, Lize was rather concerned that if Lydia are that Rhode and the people of the Country of Light had broken out into a fight… What would she think about it?

Besides, in Rhode’s description, he had pushed all responsibilities to the investigations tea his subordinates without official per their hands on the overlord and others… Even though this was the truth, Lize felt that so was amiss

“Of course, Lize Don’t worry”

In contrast, Marlene was unconcerned

“No ations team only has themselves to blah they were in the wrong at first, they suffered grave losses judging from Rhode’s descriptions If they were to deliver the report ahead of us, perhaps it would be disadvantageous They could hide the truth of their rude behavior and emphasize that they were victiht Parliament may possibly apply pressure on us and in order to prevent this, we have to deliver our report as soon as possible so we can gain the upper hand”

“Marlene is right”

Rhode nodded in satisfaction However, this wasn’t solely the truth Rhode’s main reason to send out the report was to take the lead because he kne shaht people was They had sent over the investigations teadoh Rhode felt great to vent his frustrations on theht Parliaations teaht Parliament If no one took the bait, they would tyrannize the Munn Kingdom people If one took the bait, they would have the chance to open fire on Munn Kingdoh Rhode had sed the bait, it didn’tto be fished out and cooked by theot Marlene to write up a report and sign it off with his stamp as Grenbell’s overlord The report was then delivered to Golden City through the ical teleportation and handed over to Lydia Rhode didn’t need to care about what happened next But he believed that Lydia would ment over this

As for the secondary reason… As the saying ‘it is iht Parliaetting back to the their internal department

As a parliaht had always been ongoing Even though Rhode wasn’t a Country of Light player, he had often read on the foruht and financial groups clashi+ng with players of anizations It had always been a serious issue in the internal Light Parlia for power Rhode knew that the conflict between the ht Parliaations teauards by his side This was actually the Light Parliament’s scheme to kill two birds with one stone If one was able to destroy the investigations teaest aations team, would have to bear the blaations teah their clash But this wasn’t strange as this was their tradition

The Country of Light was considered a on Soul Continent In other countries, the fors were respected as they should be and also held high positions But it was disparate in Country of Light The strong h positions, but in terh there were countless forht, their lives were hard as they believed in the equality of life They despised authority and it was due to this that they were arilance instead of a s Besides, the Country of Light often had this view that even though for, they were still ordinary beings Perhaps theydown a toith an extension of their arms, they still existed as Humans They had family members who needed to survive in this society and world If no one provided them with shelter and food, they would still be in precarious situations! Besides, what if one was for They would still need to live in this society with ordinary Humans

! Without our help, their strength would be less!

Of course, the essence of this statement was to make the people not succumb to the fear and oppression of powerful forces However, this stateht Parliaon Soul successfully The attitude of the entire Country of Light and its people took a drastic turn to the other extreon Soul wasn’t able to leave their side and had to rely on thes? Slowly, the people believed that they were s, so they didn’t give a daon Soul

This hy forht as they th to bully the weak They would then be suspected of being an authoritarian tyrant who abused their strength and their families would also sink into a storh there were forht due to such treath positions in the nation and had huge families Therefore, it wasn’t an easy matter for them to leave the country just like that Moreover, they had to shoulder a blackened na the country and this was intolerable for those who treated reputation as more important than their lives

This had also become one of the reasons for the tense relationshi+p between the Country of Light and the Munn Kingdoround froht people believed that they had the ‘higher’ system of values in this world where everyone was equal and no one could override others They naturally saw themselves as ‘superior’ and defended freedom, fairness, and justice

On the contrary, Lydia, who used her authority as an Archangel to push about the people, was undoubtedly deemed as a tyrant Those who faced Lydia’s tyranny and had no rebellious beliefs were naturally ‘inferior slaves’ They lacked the courage of revolution and to face death! They didn’t know that freedom and justice would not befall without countless deaths!

They said it well, since they weren’t the ones ere dying If the Munn Kingdom could stand united and revolt Lydia’s ‘tyranny’, it would still be for the best if the bloodbath flowed into a river with corpses lay across the country because regeneration was only possible with destruction to receive the true freedom and justice? Your deaths will be worth it and respected We atch the nificent show of your performance with tears in our eyes and cheer for your bravery!</eround, Rhode was confident that the Light Parliament would pin all the responsibilities on Lauren and also daance of the ht military wasn’t any pushover and they would definitely kick up a fuss with the Light Parliaht Parliaer groups were also clashi+ng heads with senior groups

hed inwardly at the possible internal disorder in the Light Parlia at each other curiously At this moment, soatha’s apathetic voice sounded

“Reporting, Sir Miss Shauna is requesting to see you”

“Shauna?”

Rhode returned to his senses and he felt rather strange After he returned from Golden City previously, he made Shauna responsible for external reception and liaison work However, this job was considered as logistics housekeeping and there shouldn’t be any serious issues she couldn’t resolve It was currently late at night and she surely wouldn’t look for him just for tea and chit-chat So, ould it be about?

“Let her in”

Shauna opened the room door and entered

This wo appeared completely different She had taken off her leather armor and wore a coentle As herwith public relations, it wasn’t necessary for her to be fully-equipped in armor As Rhode’s representative to meet with external parties, Shauna had to interact with many people, so she couldn’t behave like an ordinary mercenary like she did in the past Fortunately, she was still capable at social intercourse after leading a roup for years, which hy she had done well up until this point She was also satisfied with such a life as she wasn’t too ambitious and she only hoped to prove herself Her life noas comfortable and she didn’t need to risk her life everyday like a mercenary, so she didn’t have too many complaints

Shauna bowed respectfully to everyone present and lifted her head

“I’ you while you’re on a busy schedule, Sir Overlord”

“It’s fine Is anything the matter?”

“This hat happened…”

Shauna revealed a helpless look

“The young lady who you had me send to Cole Plateau…”

“Ann?”

Rhode thought of the young lady who he rescued when he, Mini Bubble Gum, and Canary visited the Saint Monastery Ann had recovered after resting for several days and he dispatched his subordinates to send her back to her home in Cole Plateau Rhode had also informed her fahter could return to their side, safe and sound He assigned Shauna to handle this matter and he threw this matter to the back of his head Now, it see the way

“Yes, she…”

Shauna paused as she didn’t kno to continue her explanations After a few moments, she said helplessly

“She… has been sent back to us”
