Chapter 589: Chapter 390: The Alarm Bell "Rings Long"

Master Sun scratched his head, having already given up hope in the Wood Dynasty and only seeking the ability to protect himself before chaos ensued. However, it was his own hand that destroyed the plan for Sang Island. Could it be foreshadowing something?

Today, he had planned to ignore official duties and focus on accompanying his sister while incidentally picking up a gifted youth from an impoverished family. But after going out for a walk, he actually cracked the case of Derek Aries?!

However, how would he explain this merit to Abner and Lord Dunn?

After much thought, Master Sun could only regretfully sigh: He had no luck in enjoying this great merit. No matter what he said, he couldn’t bypass his brother’s involvement. How else could he explain to the two masters about the Pig Carp’s disappearance and the Double-headed Eel eating a person without reporting to the capital but offering the gained treasure to him?

After his brother finished speaking and waited for a long time without receiving a response, he anxiously asked: "Brother, you can’t go back on your word. If you take my treasure, you have to help me."

Sun Chongming forced a smile and said: Give me some time, and I’ll think of a way.

Little Loach was instantly happy, drawing circles in the Defensive River.

...

In the following days, Sun Chongming asked Abner and Leonard for several times to allow him to return to the Summit Metropolitan Office, but both masters refused. Later, Master Dunn even advised earnestly: "The situation with Sang Island is of great importance. I am not at ease unless we figure out where Derek Aries went."

Now that the state affairs are difficult, Master Lane and I have few talents at hand, so I can only trouble you to inquire about Derek Aries’s movements and release you back to the Summit as soon as possible."

Master Sun didn’t know what to say. After holding back for a long time, he asked: "There are so many people in the Horizon Bureau, and my presence or absence makes no difference. Do the two masters really believe that only I can find out the information?"

Abner and Leonard looked at each other and nodded seriously together.

Master Sun: ...

Well, he could only quietly praise the two masters for their wisdom. It seemed that he was the only one who knew the truth in this world. But he couldn’t reveal it!

Master Sun returned in dismay. Just as he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, he happened to meet a Prescott from the General Government who handed him an invitation with a grin: "What a coincidence, on the order of Master Enoch, I’ve come to invite you to a banquet tomorrow night."

Thinking about the grievances between Dunn and Harrison Ainsworth, Master Sun accepted the invitation and said: "Please return my thanks to Master Enoch. I will definitely be there on time."

Yesterday, Glenn Mitchell had met Donald Lee, and Sun Chongming didn’t explain much. He just asked him not to disclose that Donald Lee and his comrades were staying here. Glenn Mitchell, with his poker face, didn’t interfere or even ask why.

The case involving Donald Lee has been kept secret, especially from the Southern Region Flying Bear Army, with the news being tightly sealed.

As Sun Chongming entered with the invitation, Donald Lee emerged with his head out of his room: "Master Sun, can we have a discussion?" Sun Chongming went in. In addition to Donald Lee, there was another senior veteran in the room.

Donald Lee seemed embarrassed and hesitant to speak, but the old soldier had a strong and straightforward personality: "Master Sun, we want to ask you why you are helping that incompetent emperor raise funds? The emperor will only squander all these spirit jades on his own enjoyment, while our Flying Bear Army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers can’t even get enough to eat..."

Donald Lee pulled him back: "Master Sun saved our lives!"

"I know." The old soldier was still indignant: "Of course, I’m grateful to Master Sun, and I have no problem dedicating my life to him. But I’ve been holding this matter in for days, and I can’t stand it anymore!"

When Sun Chongming discussed the matter with Ferdinand, he didn’t avoid others in less confidential matters. The Flying Bear soldiers in the Backyard also heard some of it.

While the old soldier questioned aggressively, Sun Chongming felt sympathy for him and was not angry. They were both admirable and pitiful. Sun Chongming pondered for a moment, and chose another angle to explain: "The Moses Sect is willing to sponsor the emperor’s tour because they can earn back more spirit jades. No matter how much money they have, they are merchants and will not offer spirit jades to the Flying Bear Army for free—even though in my opinion, the Flying Bear Army is more deserving of these spirit jades than the emperor."

As for why he had helped the emperor raise funds to build the Flying Carriage Palaces, Sun Chongming would not reveal such confidential matters.

Pain flashed in the old soldier’s eyes: "This world is laughable! Without us fighting for our lives in the Southern Border, how could the Emperor enjoy peace in the capital? How could the Moses Sect profit so much?"

Master Sun sighed and agreed: "Yes, this world is laughable."

The old soldier asked again: "When will you leave the capital? We want to return to the army as soon as possible. We came to participate in the Dragon and Snake List this time, with the hope of getting some silver rewards... Now we just want to return to the army, even if it means dying with our fellow soldiers on the battlefield!"

Master Sun asked: "How long can the spirit jades you grabbed last time support you?"

Donald Lee answered this time: "About three months."

"I’ll... try to find a way to help you."

Donald Lee immediately said: "We cannot involve Master Sun anymore. Saving us has already brought great risk to Master Sun." Master Sun waved his hand: "All I said is I would think of a way. Whether or not there’s a solution remains to be seen. Don’t get your hopes up too high. You’ve seen the current state of the Imperial Court. If you want the Military Department and the Treasury to provide money, you are just dreaming."
