The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

If he was a great master next to the king in ancient times, Arlo would have been an important minister who dominated the country. Brody was also well aware that the fact that the British Lord was letting him come into contact with the real core members now also meant that the British Lord would gradually use him greatly in the future.

Therefore, Brody stepped forward very politely and shook hands with Arlo as he said with a smile, "We are all loyal to the British Lord, so you don't have to be so courteous with me!"

Arlo said with a smile, "As expected from an important earl who has served the British Lord for a long time. Mr. Jothurn really has an outstanding demeanor!"

After saying that, Arlo pointed at the dining table and said with a smile, "I've prepared a small banquet to welcome you, Mr. Jothurn. Please have a seat at the table."

Brody clasped one of his hands over the other and said politely, "Let's go together!"

The two of them sat down next to each other politely at the large dining table. Arlo then instructed the other people to go out. After the door was closed, he poured a glass of wine for Brody personally and said with a smile, "Mr. Jothurn, it's my first time meeting you today, so I would like to offer a toast to you!"

Brody could see that Arlo's cultivation had only reached the Transformation Realm, nevertheless, he did not dare to treat him with contempt. He quickly raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Mr. Griffin, you're being too polite with me! Come, let's drink this glass of wine together!"

The two of them clinked their wine glasses and tilted their heads back to finish the glass of wine.

After putting the wine glass down, Arlo's expression suddenly became very sad as he sighed and said, "Mr. Jothurn, I know the reason why you're here at the Right Military Governor Office this time. A major mistake was made when I executed the British Lord's secret order the last time. I've always felt extremely guilty over this matter and I know that it will be difficult to get rid of suspicion. I hope that you will be able to find out the whole truth behind this matter and clear my name, Mr. Jothurn!"

Brody did not expect that Arlo would cut to the chase so quickly, so he put his wine glass down and said seriously, "Mr. Griffin, can you tell me how you conveyed the British Lord's order after he gave you the secret order?"

Arlo said frankly, "The British Lord gave me the secret order directly, so in line with the principle where there would be a lower risk and possibility of this mission being exposed if fewer people knew about this mission, I did not tell anyone else about this mission. Instead, I gave the order directly to Troy Nimbleton, the Section Ambassador who's directly in charge of the dead soldiers' base. I asked him to select the most elite members from the Armed Calvary Guards to head to Northern Europe."noveldrama

Brody asked, "Do these people know of the secret order or Vera's identity?"

Arlo blurted out without hesitation, “They don't know of her identity. In fact, in the entire Right Military Governor Office, I'm the only one who knows of Vera's identity. When I conveyed the secret order to Troy, I only told him to go to Northern Europe to capture a girl. Even Troy does not know of Vera's identity, so it is even more unlikely for the Armed Calvary Guards who went on the mission to know of her identity. They only know that the British Lord wants to capture the girl and that they would be rewarded greatly if they captured her."

Brody nodded. He had already guessed that this would be the case as this was the British Lord's style of action. The British Lord would prefer it if the people who went to capture Vera did not know of her identity or what was special about her so that he could avoid as many risk factors as possible.

With that in mind, Brody asked Arlo, "Mr. Griffin, did you find Troy to question him about this matter after the incident? He was the one who dispatched the Armed Calvary Guards, so if there was a traitor in this matter, the traitor could be Troy or his subordinates. Troy could even be collaborating with his subordinates!"

Arlo said, "Mr. Jothurn, I reported this matter to the British Lord and we both felt that there should not be any traitors within us because Troy and his subordinates did not know the identity of the girl they were going to capture. Moreover, I did not allow it when Troy wanted to lead the team in person in order not to expose the importance of the target to the public because based on the intelligence we received, there were not many experts around Vera, and a few Armed Calvary Guards should have been enough to capture her."
