What monarch isn't constantly wary and guarded against those around them?
Regardless of whether Her Majesty the Queen had some ulterior motive, or if this was simply her unique way of manipulating people, as far as Chu He was concerned, the current situation was quite agreeable.
As night deepened, Chu He and Lone Wolf were both shown to a lounge in the local Defense Team's building to rest.
The upper echelons of this Defense Team
did not personally go to Xia Shui Village that night to handle the thorny and severe situation.
Instead, they chose to remain here,
maintaining the appearance of being ready to serve Chu He wholeheartedly, twenty-four hours a day.
As for Lone Wolf, they naturally paid him no mind.
In their minds,
Lone Wolf was probably just some sort of assistant or secretary to Chu He.
They figured that
even if they flattered and tried to build a connection with a character like that,
it would be of no practical use.
