Chapter 493 Collect The Opinions Of The Citizens


    Rufus'' POV:


    "You have to promise us that you won''t send anyone to interfere. If you use your prestige as an


    Alpha to order the citizens to side with you, it''ll be difficult for us to join the bet," Flora said seriously.


    "Don''t worry. Just as I said just now, if I wanted to interfere with you, I wouldn''t even have offered to


    bet with you in the first ce. On the contrary, TH even order my people to cooperate with you. If I


    make things difficult for you in any way, I''d lose the bet." Geoffrey looked sincere yet confident. After


    all, he even bet at the risk of his position as Alpha.

    "Don''t you dare go back on your word, Geoffrey." Flora also spoke with confidence. Then, she


    looked at me expectantly, as if she was asking for my consent.


    For a moment, I was hesitant and fell silent.


    The truth was, when I saw the attitude of the audience towards the killing show, I knew that things


    were not as simple as I had thought.


    Besides, Geoffrey was no fool. He wouldn''t bet on something he wasn''t sure of. Since he was the


    one who suggested the bet, it meant that he was certain that he would win.


    But now that Sylvia was still in his hands, I had no choice but to y his games.


    "Prince Rufus, what do you think? It''s not a bad deal, if you ask me." Geoffrey also turned to me


    expectantly.


    I pursed my lips. "Okay."


    "Good. I know that Prince Rufus is looking at the bigger picture."


    Now that I had agreed to his proposal, Geoffrey smiledcently. Then he raised his ss and


    clinked it with mine. "Then I hope we''ll have a pleasant cooperation."


    After reaching an agreement with Geoffrey, I left this dirty ce with Flora and Warren.


    Tomorrow was the night of the full moon. Since Sylvia was not with me this time, there was nothing I


    could do but lock myself in a room. Therefore, I had to entrust the task of collecting opinions of the


    citizens to Flora and Warren.


    "Remember, no matter what you see or hear in the city this time, just ignore it and focus on your


    task." I was afraid that something unexpected would happen again, so I reiterated to them to keep a


    low profile.


    "We know. No matter what happens, we need to get Sylvia back first." Flora nodded with


    understanding. "Don''t worry. We''ll get the job done."


    "Well, I believe in you two." I couldn''t help but smile slightly, feeling satisfied that Sylvia had such


    good, trustworthy friends.


    Then I patted Warren on the shoulder and said, "I''ll send a group of my most trusted subordinates


    for you tomand. We''re in a foreign ce, so be careful."


    "But what about the rest of the army? Geoffrey had asked us not to reveal the secrets of this city.


    But it was no small feat to call on the citizens, so it''ll be difficult to keep a low profile." Warren looked


    at me with a trace of worry in his eyes. He sighed and added, "We can''t afford to make any


    mistakes. Geoffrey may change his mind at any given moment."


    I thought for a while. "There aren''t many troops left. I''ve sent a group of soldiers to other areas to


    assist in the reconstruction. As for the remaining soldiers, I was nning to send them to the


    suburbs to help with the reconstruction of the local farnds. That way, you can discretely talk to


    the citizens there."


    "I''m not worried about anything other than Geoffrey. He looked so confident. He must be sure of the


    result." Flora''s tone was dejected, her earlier confidence ebbing away as she spoke. "This ce is


    his territory after all. I doubt he will y fair."


    "There''s nothing we can do but wait and see," I said calmly. "If he wants to go back on his word,


    then I''ll retaliate in kind."
