Chapter 967: The Guard Captain's Calculations

So I could only choose to believe, had he agreed to such a trade with me?

Engaging in such a compromise felt almost ironic to me.

This was after he had acknowledged the issues and taken specific actions.

My identical response to the situation did not necessarily represent the truth as it appeared on the surface.

What kind of satisfactory understanding was I supposed to reach now, faced with what I could see before me?

Therefore, the things presented before my eyes no longer seemed to require any undue hesitation or further concern regarding the issues at hand.

What was left was to have a precise understanding or judgement of the situation, which had become unnecessary to ponder or doubt extensively.

No matter what ultimate outcome this matter might present to people, I now had to quickly confirm what I was seeing and respond accordingly.

The captain of the guard finally sighed deeply in his heart, made up his mind about the matter, and knew what response he should give next.
