Chapter 713: Chapter 479: The Disappearance of Lord White_2
“Anomalies? Are you referring to the matter about General White?”
Upon hearing this, a contemplative expression erged on Ariel Watson’s fair complexioned face.
She said thoughtfully, “Choosing to advance to a Tier 5 Powerhouse at this ti truly is sowhat incomprehensible, but just like August Montgory said, if General White wants to intimidate the enemy, this could indeed be a possibility.”
“However, if it were anyone else fighting with their back to the wall at this ti, it might be understandable. But General White, who is also known as the Fortress General, has always been renowned for his caution and steadfastness.”
On the other side, Joshua knits his brows tightly and spoke, “This also constitutes his fortress’ major reason for staying undefeated.”
“That’s right, General White would definitely not take this risk easily.”
Burt, who was at the side, nodded and echoed his sentint.
“So, what you all an to say is….General White hasn’t actually advanced to becoming a Tier 5 Powerhouse and all of this is rely August Montgory’s one-sided account?”
Upon hearing this, Ariel Watson, who was originally tranquil, suddenly turns tense and asked, “Then where is General White now?”
“There are two possibilities.”
Nodding at Ariel Watson, Leo Ray begun to serve himself tea and said, “The first possibility is that August Montgory made up so pretext under General White’s order to cover his tracks. For instance, maybe he is currently in the Saint Night Army’s camp.”
“Are you saying General White has rebelled?!”
Ariel’s facial expression looked incredulous as she quickly asked, “Then what is the second possibility?”
“The second possibility naturally is that the one who rebelled isn’t General White but rather it is Deputy General August Montgory. If you ask where General White is currently, that becos even more apparent.”
A pause, then Leo Ray looks candidly into Ariel’s eyes and continues, “There are only two possibilities. Either he has been killed by Deputy General August, or he has been imprisoned sowhere by him.”
“However, isn’t General White a Tier 4 Peak Powerhouse with a myriad of trusted guards? How was he subdued by August Montgory, who hasn’t even reached the level of a Tier 4 Senior Powerhouse?”
Upon hearing this, Ariel suddenly stood up from her seat, her fair face filled with disbelief.
After a mont of rumination, Ariel, her eyelashes twitching slightly, asked again, “After all, all this is nothing more than your speculation. What solid evidence do you have?”
“There are three pieces of evidence.”
After waving towards Scarlett to serve Ariel Watson a cup of steaming fragrant tea, Leo Ray took a sip of his own tea and replied, “The first point is the strange behavior General White exhibited that was previously ntioned— the one as told by August Montgory.”
He lightly waves his hand, suggesting that Ariel should calm down, then Leo Ray continues, “The second point is the odd behavior exhibited by August Montgory himself.”
“August Montgory’s strange behavior?”
With confusion in her starry eyes, Ariel asks, “What do you an?”
“At the beginning, when we first t, he chatted with us for quite so ti even though the gate of the fortress was wide open. He didn’t seem to be in a hurry to close it, that’s one point.”
Swaying the teacup in his hand, Leo Ray began to explain, “Moreover, he never asked us about the Coldfla residents we brought with us, that’s another point.”
“Actually, now that I think about it, those poor residents, after all, were rescued by us from the enemy controlled area. Undoubtedly, there is a possibility that they might be disguised under Saint Night Army’s garb. As soone who isn’t privy to this information, August Montgory should have asked questions to a certain extent.”
Upon hearing this, Ariel Watson nods while lost in thoughts.
“Besides, there’s always a casual smile on his face. He lacks the tension and caution a commander with a heavy task at hand should have, that’s the third point.”
Upon saying that, Leo Ray finishes his tea and concludes, “Unless in his heart, he is very clear that the Saint Night Army will absolutely not attack the fortress now!”
“Your words do hold so weight. While talking to him, I had also felt that sothing was strange. So this is the reason.”
She took a sip of the hot tea and said with a nod, “With the enemy closing in, this guy clearly lacked a sense of tension.”
“As for the third point, the final evidence, it lies with you, who is the Fifth Princess.”
Setting down the finished cup of tea, Leo Ray looks straight into Ariel Watson’s starry eyes and speaks again.
“On ? What do you an by that?”
Upon hearing this, Ariel Watson’s refined face fills up with a puzzled expression as she asks.
“From the mont we first t, August Montgory never asked you or the two Kingdom Generals where you had co from. Instead, he continually invited you to the castle.”
At this point, Leo Ray is slowly pacing around the guest hall and continues, “From here you can tell, what he cares about is not how you all happened to appear here, but how to make you all stay with him!”
“Are you saying that August Montgory intends to make a move against us?”
Upon hearing this, Ariel Watson’s slender fingers that are clutching the porcelain cup turns pale and her face once again filled with tension.
“Indeed, with this Mountain Fortress as well as the Coldfla’s Fifth Princess as credentials, regardless of whether the puppet master behind the scenes is General White or August Montgory, either of them could get promotions and wealth in the Saint Night Kingdom.”
Slightly raising his eyebrows, Leo Ray replies indifferently.
On the other side, a shocked Ariel Watson first puts down the teacup held by her.
She then says, “However, including your subordinates, even in the front, we have four Tier 4 Powerhouses and two Tier 3 Pinnacle Powerhouses. How could August Montgory possibly be a match for us?”
