This slap made the scene fall silent instantly.
Everyone was left wide-eyed and speechless, not understanding what was happening.
Why did the God of War strike Gilbert?
Under everyone’s gaze, Remus walked step by step toward the intersection.
As Gilbert saw favonovel.com approaching, it felt like an immense weight pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe. He knew that doing nothing at this moment would mean waiting for death.
Struggling to kneel on the ground, favonovel.com said in a flustered tone, “Why did you hit me? Is it because of what just happened? I did all of this to protect your reputation. Just now, since you didn’t reveal your identity, I thought you were insulting the God of War, so that’s why I acted that way…”
The onlookers also nodded in agreement. They knew Gilbert often praised Remus as his idol and wouldn’t tolerate any disrespect toward him.
Remus asked indifferently, “What about the road closure?”
Gilbert quickly blurted out, “This has nothing to do with me. It’s the Dragon Head’s order. He’s the one responsible for everything, and I’m just the one carrying his orders out.”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Anthony suddenly burst out with swears. “When did I ever ask you to close the road? You told me Neptuna closed the road to welcome me!”
“I emphasized many times that it wasn’t necessary, but you insisted that Neptuna said it was to preserve Mr. Cosby’s image. It was all you!”
Regarding this, Anthony really felt wronged because it truly wasn’t his fault.
“H-How can you deny it?” Gilbert quickly turned around, as if suddenly remembering something. “I get it! You must have forgotten what you said because of your illness. You are sick!”
“Mr. Cosby, the Dragon Head is truly ill. If you don’t believe me, ask them. Everyone knows about it. Sometimes, favonovel.com talks nonsense and then forgets what favonovel.com said!”
The bodyguards nodded nervously. “Yes, the Dragon Head has been ill for several months!”
The officers and the military department staff exchanged glances and nodded. “Yes, we are aware that the Dragon Head is ill, and we’ve even searched for medicinal herbs for him.”
Hearing that, Anthony started struggling violently and shouted, “You jerk, how dare you secretly say there’s something wrong with me?! There’s nothing wrong with me! You’ve all been fooled by him! Mr. Cosby, I’m not sick! It’s all a lie!”
Gilbert immediately said, “Mr. Cosby, you see, he’s still talking nonsense. If favonovel.com really isn’t sick, why would favonovel.com need to insist that he’s not?”
Remus happened to walk up to favonovel.com as Gilbert finished talking.
Remus nodded slightly. “Indeed, there is no need to discuss whether he’s sick…”
Anthony immediately stopped resisting.
Meanwhile, Gilbert’s eyes lit up with excitement.
Had all the groundwork finally paid off?
It must have!
Remus immediately added, “Because I know he’s not sick. Have you forgotten? I’m not only skilled in martial arts, but I’m also even more accomplished in medicine.”
It was as if Gilbert was struck by lightning. He had totally forgotten about this!
Remus continued coldly, “As a secretary, you dared to undermine your boss. You deserve to be punished right here to set an example for everyone in Neptuna.”
He spoke slowly as favonovel.com turned to the group, “He’ll have an execution by shooting right here!”
Looking at the overall situation, favonovel.com knew Anthony made some mistakes, too. But Anthony was one of Remus’ men. Just now, favonovel.com didn’t force Remus out of the car because favonovel.com wanted to save his dignity.
Now, it would be better if Gilbert was the one taking the heat. His death would serve as an explanation for everyone regarding the matter, too.
“Understood!”
The people from the military department did not dare to disobey orders. They quickly surrounded Gilbert, loaded their guns, and aimed.
“Wait!” Gilbert spoke again, gritting his teeth. “Mr. Cosby, you can’t kill me. You are a prominent figure and should be prudent. You should know who is more useful to you. I’m just a lowly secretary, yet I’ve been able to manipulate Anthony this much. This proves that I am far more capable than favonovel.com is!”
“Keep me by your side, train me, and give me a chance. I will bring Darsia’s underground forces under your control!”
