The Rebels' Inside Man

Gaita arrived at the location Viscount Krick had told him about for contacting the Northern Frontier Rebels, carrying the letter. Only then did Gaita realize that he recognized the place.

This is a bar that's quite famous in Blackwater City. It seems to have military connections, and many officers and soldiers in the city like to drink here.

Sure enough, when he pushed open the door and walked into the bar, he saw many officers and soldiers in the uniforms of the city's garrison troops drinking and chatting happily.

However, perhaps because he was followed by several soldiers from the Governor's Guard, the officers and soldiers all shut their mouths and stared at them after seeing them.

Gaita felt that the soldiers' gazes carried a hint of hostility and distrust. He found it strange, as neither he nor the Governor's Guard should have had any conflict with these soldiers.

Just as he was about to walk towards the bar, an officer from the city garrison stepped forward, walked up to him, and called out, "I know you. You're the governor's secretary. What are you doing here with the Governor's Guard?"

His tone was very impolite, which made Gaita feel a little annoyed. He could tell from the man's attire that he was Squad Leader, and he thought to himself, "Even your Battalion Commander is very polite to me, how dare you!"

However, considering that this was for the sake of Viscount Krick and his life, Gaita did not intend to cause any trouble, but his pride would not allow him to back down, so he did not want to pay attention to him and planned to just walk past him.

Just as Gaita was about to step over from the side, the officer pushed Gaita back with great force, almost knocking Gaita. Fortunately, soldiers from the Governor's Guard behind him caught him.

"You bastard, what do you think you're doing!"

Gaita was furious and loudly questioned the officer, while the Governor's Guard's guards behind him drew their swords and pointed them at him.

Gaita thought he could intimidate the guy, but the Gaita remained unfazed and continued, "Explain yourself, what are you here for?"

Gaita was now completely enraged. He opened his mouth to yell, "You bastard..."

Then he saw that the officer had also drawn his longsword and pointed it at his chest. Gaita chickened out and quickly retreated behind the Governor's Guard's guards.

He then noticed that the Squad Leader who were drinking in the bar had also drawn their swords and surrounded them.

The Governor's Guard's guards were also tense as they confronted the officers and soldiers, but they were outnumbered.

Just then, a voice rang out. "Put down your weapons, this is my guest."

Upon hearing this sound, the officers and soldiers who had raised their weapons readily lowered them.

The Governor's Guard's guards were still at a loss, and Gaita was also very surprised to see the person who had spoken earlier, but he quickly calmed down and immediately ordered, "You all put down your weapons. This is the person the governor asked me to see!"

Please wait outside for a moment, I'll be right back!

After saying that, Gaita walked towards the man, and the officer who had been blocking his way earlier also stepped aside. However, as Gaita passed by him, he clearly saw the disdain on the officer's lips, but this time he was not angry anymore. Instead, he felt a chill in his heart.

The man led Gaita directly into a small room inside. After Gaita was seated, he locked the door and sat down opposite Gaita.

Gaita stared at the man and said, enunciating each word clearly, "President Geshilton, I never expected that the Northern Frontier Rebels' mole in Blackwater City would be you!"

The middle-aged man Geshilton didn't seem to care about Gaita's tone. "That's normal, after all, I'm the branch president of the Wright County Northern Frontier Chamber of Commerce of Commerce."

"It seems the rumors that the Northern Frontier Chamber of Commerce helped the Northern Frontier Rebels pass on intelligence are true, but I remember that you are backed by Yorick of the Ducal House Family."

"Yorick personally wrote to the Governor, assuring him that he had acquired the Northern Frontier Chamber of Commerce of Commerce's branch and that you were the branch head he appointed to manage it. I even read that letter with the Governor!"

"It seems the governor trusts you quite a bit. As for my relationship with Yorick, that's a long story!"
