Chapter 34 Not Approved

"But, there are still some people with ulterior motives who report him and spend their days gossiping!" The old man in plain clothes continued speaking.

"They said he formed cliques, excludes dissidents, built up his own army and intended to rebel!"

"And the most ironic thing is that there are actually people who believe these rumors!"

"Tell me, if it were you, wouldn't you have any thoughts about it?"

"Hmm?" The old man in Tang suit furrowed his brow. "Who told you this?"

"When you have free time in the future, go out more often instead of staying cooped up in your courtyard all day!" The old man in plain clothes glared at him impatiently. "At this rate, you'll be completely isolated from the world!"

"These things have been circulating around the capital for a long time now."

"But even so, he can't just quit because of them," another old man spoke up.

"Although the western region is temporarily stable now, other borders are still surrounded by wolves, we need his help."

"And Army of Bloodshadow was created by him personally. Azure Dragon's group only recognizes him, no one else can convince them. If he resigns then, who will lead Army of Bloodshadow?"

"You only know that he has neglected his duties but have you ever thought about why he did that?" The old man in plain clothes continued to ask.

"What do you mean? Didn't you say he quit because of anger?" The old man in Tang suit responded irritably.

"That's why I said that none of you really cared about him!" The old man in plain clothes glared at the Tang-suited elder.

"He fought bloodily for our country within enemy territory but some scumbags kidnapped his daughter under his protection and wanted to use her heart for transplanting into another child! If it were you, what would you do?"

"What!?" Upon hearing his words, everyone present exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

One of the middle-aged man forcefully slapped the conference table, rising to his feet with an air of hostility, his anger permeating the room as he shouted. "This is outrageous! Who did this? Tell me, I swear I'll annihilate them and their entire lineage!"

"Alright, be mindful of your identity. Don't go around destroying entire families at the slightest provocation. Do you think you're the soldier who charged ahead on the front lines back then?" The old man in plain clothes glared at him.

"I don't care about these things! Someone actually dares to do such a thing worse than an animal, I will make him know the consequences! Donald, tell me who did it. I'll find him immediately!"

"Enough, sit down!" said the old man sitting in the first seat with a deep voice. Then, he looked at the old man in plain clothes and said, "Donald, I was just about to ask you about this. He shouldn't have gotten married yet, right? How did he suddenly have a daughter?"

"Someone else gave birth to his child!" Donald shrugged his shoulders.
