Chapter 879: Getting Rid Of Soone After He Has Served His Purpose?
Gu ngng chuckled. “My guards were willing to follow your arrangents?”
Gu ngng might have believed it if she was told that Barete returned to Saint Nazaire at Oakley’s urgings as the two of them had a personal relationship.
But that Auretin, who had not eaten a single al prepared by Lea this winter—would he be willing to return to Saint Nazaire before getting one al? Ha, who would believe that?
Oakley lowered his head in a respectful manner. “If the Great ssenger feels that my arrangents are not appropriate, I will imdiately send soone to call them back.”
Gu ngng inhaled deeply. “Oakley, I treasure the affection we once had for each other. If you have any difficulties, please tell frankly. I will definitely help you if I can. But I don’t like people to carry out cheap tricks behind my back. If you are planning to lead by the nose... then be prepared to be bitten by . But I don’t wish for my venomous teeth to be used against friends.”
Oakley maintained his respectful and calm expression. “I am the most loyal subject of the Great ssenger. Everything I do, I do it with the utmost consideration for the Great ssenger. Didn’t you leave Sauder to because you yourself believed so? As the Great ssenger said, if you suspect a man, don’t use him. If you use a man, then don’t suspect him. But you have used and are suspecting at the sa ti. What is the logic behind that?”
Gu ngng frowned. She remained silent and just watched him quietly.
Oakley looked up and t Gu ngng’s gaze. “Or has the Great ssenger suddenly changed her mind and wishes to keep the authority in her own hands... then the Great ssenger should just tell . Oakley will naturally follow your wishes and hand back the authority to you. After all... getting rid of soone after he has served his purpose. This tactic is sothing I can understand.”
“Why are you twisting my words in this manner? You clearly know I don’t an that.” A chill crossed Gu ngng’s heart.
Oakley used to be so shy, but with a trace of astuteness... where had that Oakley gone?
When did their relationship deteriorate into such suspicion and resentnt?
Although they had never been that close, they could be considered friends?
Now...
Getting rid of soone after he has served his purpose?
He actually thought she would that to him.
“Did I say anything wrong?” Oakley was very calm, his eyes completely placid. “When the ssenger had to return to Saint Nazaire and needed soone to stay on and oversee Sauder—you handed a tumultuous Sauder over to Barete and I. Now that Sauder had settled down in peace, you return just to bla for sending off your guards... ha, I guess if you truly want to punish soone, any minor offense would do? Actually, things don’t have to be so troubleso. I am just a second-level beast. Just say the word, what defense can I put up?”
Gu ngng’s heart felt like it had been stuffed with a bunch of cotton wool at Oakley’s words.
She wanted to retort but found no words to retort with.
It was true that she had just left a tumultuous Sauder to Barete and Oakley to handle. Actually... to describe it as tumultuous was a misnor. She had predicted that Cole would return with a surprise attack, and so left Oakley and Barete behind as bait.
It was a debt which she owed them, and a debt which she should repay.
“If you wish to retain your authority, I will not interfere. But... you should know that there are so principles that must be maintained, and so lines that cannot be crossed.”
Oakley gave a vaguely dubious smile. “Maintaining my loyalty to the Great ssenger is my only line. If the Great ssenger still trusts , then there shouldn’t be any problems.”
