Cruel Truth

Geoffrey silently listened to Carlos shout. After he finished speaking, he said calmly, "So, it turns out this is what you've been thinking all this time. Even you think that I'm greedy for power, and that's why I handed the position of helmsman to you so late, right?"

"Isn't that the case?" Carlos immediately asked back.

Geoffrey laughed self-deprecatingly. "Hah, do you know how much effort I've put in over the years to make you a qualified helmsman sooner?

"Don't you think I want to enjoy the last years of my life? If it wasn't because you weren't capable enough to take on the responsibility of the helmsman, do you think I'd still drag my old and weak body around to take up the duty and exhaust myself to make plans for the family?"

At this moment, Geoffrey was so disappointed with Carlos that he didn't even want to look at him anymore.
