Zhao Yong looked around anxiously, observing the current situation, his heart in his mouth. He mistakenly believed that the Earl was angry because Gu Tong had acted on her own initiative and was now ready to hold her accountable.
However, he understood in his heart how correct Gu Tong's actions were then. Without her presence, the mission would not have been successfully completed.
Moreover...
They all faced the possibility of sacrifice!
"Report to the Earl! Tong's ability to execute the mission is excellent. I think the Earl has misunderstood..."
The sudden declaration was Zhao Yong speaking with courage. He straightened his back, exuding the demeanor of a Vanguard Student on the battlefield.
"Don't say anything more..." Gu Tong hurriedly tugged Zhao Yong's arm. As if things weren't chaotic enough, why stir up more trouble? Didn't he notice how dark her husband's face looked?
