Chapter 386: Chapter 335: The Three Heavens Large-scaled Magical Instrument_1

Abner Lane didn’t mind Owen Bertram’s clumsy flattery and asked, "Are things really that bad?"

"Yes, I’m afraid more than 90% of the military funding allocated by the Imperial Court to the Cave Lake Navy went straight into their pockets."

Abner Lane sighed heavily and didn’t speak for a long time.

Abner was not surprised, such things have happened many times in the Wood Dynasty and had even become a "normal state". He was even clearer than Owen Bertram that the Wood Dynasty had already reached a point of no return and was just stubbornly trying to turn the tide!

"You contact Lord Dunn." Abner said, "No matter if it’s Rod George or Murphy, deal with them as you see fit!"

"Understood."

It took Abner half a day to realize something was wrong: Murphy’s investigation concluded that the Cave Lake Navy was innocent. Knowing Owen Bertram’s character, if he believed there was a problem with the Cave Lake Navy, why would he quietly accept this result? He would definitely make a fuss.

Therefore, Abner guessed that there might be other things involved. He went to ask Owen Bertram and found out the shocking truth!

Owen Bertram, according to Abner’s instructions, contacted Adonis Dunn in the capital. Adonis Dunn had always despised such unscrupulous corrupt officials!

The foundation of the Wood Dynasty had been slowly eroded by such scum.

"Look into it! I will dispatch an Imperial Inspector immediately for a thorough investigation!"

Owen Bertram finally felt relieved, left Darcy Darren behind and instructed him, "Stay here for a few days, pick up the artificers from the Military Equipment Department, and then return."

Darcy Darren, who hadn’t seen Bertram doing anything decisive, was puzzled, "Is Rod George doomed?"

"Rod George, Murphy, they are all doomed." Owen Bertram said, calmly left and returned to Looking Cloud Cliff alone. Before he left, he said to Darcy Darren, "In a few days, David will also come here. You two should protect the Imperial Envoy together and be careful of some desperate people."

"Understood!" Darcy Darren solemnly obeyed the order.

...

The person responsible for surveillance immediately reported Owen Bertram’s departure to Murphy, who was puzzled yet again: why keep Darcy Darren behind?

Three days later, the Imperial Inspector, wielding the Sword of Authority, arrived at Nine Caves Lake. Rod George and Murphy finally realized their doom was upon them!

They were desperate and planning to assassinate the Imperial Envoy when they found two figures of the Fifth Great Realm protecting the Imperial Envoy. At this point, Murphy finally understood why Owen Bertram had left Darcy Darren behind.

It was too late.

There was no need for an inspection of the Cave Lake Navy. As soon as the Imperial Envoy entered the military port and took a glance around, evidence of guilt was everywhere!

Soon, all the related people of the Cave Lake Navy and Summit Commanding Officers of York County were imprisoned. It was a big case involving hundreds of people!

When Rodney received the news, he sat alone in shock for a while before finally sighing, "What a ruthless kid!"

For the moment, there was no need for him to worry. Even if Murphy confessed to colluding with him, Rodney was not involved in the corruption case of the Cave Lake Navy.

However, this incident made Rodney vigilant: the kid might already have his eye on me! I must be prepared...

Was Rodney clean? Of course not, no military leader is not greedy for money.

This turned him into a nervous wreck. For several days, he tried to cover up his past crimes—the best way was of course to return the money, but he was reluctant, so he ended up spending those days in constant fear.

His attitude towards that young Summit Commanding Officer had also changed—he now feared and resented him.

"Damn it! I hope I can survive this half-year period. For God’s sake, I hope that kid kicks the bucket before I do!" Rodney even started praying.

Little did he know that in Owen Bertram’s eyes, they were not "opponents" at all. Owen Bertram always felt that one must attend to one’s duties before considering establishing their own power.

After leaving Nine Caves Lake and returning to Looking Cloud Cliff, the first thing Owen Bertram did was to discuss with Little Loach: the new Refining Diagram Records for the Heavy Crossbow, Rune Array Cannon, and Long-arm Rune Launcher should be given to Elder Brother as soon as possible.

Little Loach was stunned: Were not they all meant for me to devour?

Although their sizes are huge, they are not of high grade. Where is the feedback?

Owen Bertram knew this would be the result. At that time in the military port, he had them devoured on impulse without discussing with Little Loach beforehand.

Little Loach evading the responsibility was to be expected, but Elder Brother naturally had his ways. He took out Sinclair Blacktail’s Tier-6 Demon Artifact: Demon Inscription Fur and asked, "See what this is? Do you want to eat it?"

Little Loach rolled over in the Gourd belly, bouncing around with joy like a puppy, I want to eat, of course I want to eat, Elder Brother is the best!

Saliva drooling into the lake below, causing ripples.

But Owen Bertram put the item away: Come, my dear little brother, let’s discuss the matter of the Refining Diagram Record of the three large-scale Magical Instruments after the improvement upgrade.

Little Loach whimpered a bit, portraying itself as laboring and hardworking, it was really tiring and the likes.

Owen Bertram sighed: Alright, forget it, I don’t want to overwork my dear little brother; I should keep this treasure for myself.

The large head of Little Loach fell at once, its mood immediately down. It somehow learned to make its eyes watery as if it’s about to cry and feeling wronged, Elder Brother is not nice to me!
