Chapter 385: Chapter 334: Cave Lake Navy_4

Rodney asked, "What’s the matter? I’m quite interested."

"Owen Bertram went to the Cave Lake Navy to ask for something, and the admiral of the Cave Lake Navy happens to be my good friend. I mentioned it casually, so of course, Owen Bertram ran into a wall. Given his character, he must be resentful and want to use the power of the Horizon Bureau to investigate Rod George.

This is interesting. The Cave Lake Navy is precisely within my jurisdiction, so what kind of investigation result do you think I will give him? Hahaha!"

Rodney immediately understood, "So, Owen Bertram went there with a bellyful of anger, intending to use the authority of the Horizon Bureau to vent his frustration, but you gave him a result that the Cave Lake Navy was innocent.

Even if he doesn’t believe it, his authority is limited to the upper reaches of Summit, so he can’t personally investigate, nor can he question your conclusion and constantly urge Master Lane—after all, Lane is on the battlefield, and military affairs are busy. So, he can only swallow his anger. Brilliant, brilliant!

Although we can’t really do anything to him, it’s still nice to vent our anger. It is indeed an interesting matter. I shall drink three more cups today!"

In Rodney’s view, Murphy’s "revenge" was well-balanced. It wouldn’t really push Owen Bertram into a corner, and he would clearly know who was playing tricks on him, yet he’d have no choice but to endure it for the sake of the bigger picture.

And in half a year at most, Owen Bertram would not be able to hold on any longer, and the Summit Command would collapse, leaving no future.

...

For the next few days, Owen Bertram stayed with Darcy Darren at the post station. Owen seemed to be in good spirits, going out shopping every day, and whenever he encountered any delicious snacks, he would order an extra portion, magically freeze it, and prepare to bring it back for his sister to taste.

Although Darcy Darren was puzzled, the Fifth Great Domain could keep their composure.

It took Murphy a full six days to report to Abner Lane: After checking, there was no problem.

Abner Lane was busy with military affairs on the frontline, and under immense pressure; he didn’t really care about it, simply passing the result to Owen Bertram.

As expected, Owen did not come to bother them again. He didn’t contact Adonis Dunn either, and just stayed at the post station wandering around during the day as if nothing had happened.

This was Murphy’s territory, so naturally, someone was secretly watching Owen Bertram and the others, reporting their whereabouts. Murphy stroked his beard in puzzlement: How could this young fellow be so composed?

Moreover, he neither left nor took any further action. What on earth did he want to do?

Feeling somewhat unsettled, he contacted Rodney again, "What medicine is this fellow selling in his gourd?"

Rodney snorted coldly, "Can’t you see? We underestimated him before. He’s waiting for you to approach him and try to extort us."

Upon this reminder, Murphy understood and found it amusing, "So he thinks he has got hold of my weak spot with the Cave Lake Navy incident and is waiting for me to take the initiative to negotiate with him?

He’s dreaming!

Even if there is a problem with the Cave Lake Navy, what evidence does he have? What evidence does he have that shows I favored one side and violated the rules? Does he really think he can scrape some benefits from me based on this? We didn’t underestimate him; we overestimated him. This kid is naive!"

Rodney just chuckled, feeling the same way that Owen Bertram’s calm and composed demeanor was just a bluff: If they could get some advantages, great; if not, there’s no loss.

But since this kind of "empty city strategy" is seen through by the other party, there is no threat.

Owen Bertram waited for most of the day when Abner Lane suddenly took the initiative to contact him. Owen accepted the Communication Talisman connection and complained, "You really disappoint me, sir. I thought you would come to your senses in at most two Shichen (four hours) ..."

Abner Lane was not lightly angered, snarling, "You shameless kid! I’m fighting on the frontline, and I still have to worry about your trivial matters. You’re neither grateful nor afraid to ridicule the Seventh Level. Do you really think I can’t behead you from thousands of miles away?"

Owen snorted, "Is it just because I exposed your affair with Lord Liam that you always want to find an opportunity to silence me?"

Abner Lane: "..."

Click!

The Communication Talisman was shut off, and Abner Lane didn’t want to talk to him.

Owen smiled and quickly took the initiative to communicate, then was shut off again, restarted, and shut off again. After three times, Abner Lane finally accepted the call. This time, Owen was serious, "Murphy and the others are trying to handle me according to officialdom habits. They are indeed more proficient in the use of various unspoken rules of officialdom than me, and originally, I could only comply and at most make some trouble for Rod George.

However, they have miscalculated you, sir. You won’t be deceived by them."
