Gaspar Bellen quietly observed the expressions of the "freemen," while Colonel Skool was scrutinizing Gaspar as well.
Outsiders could easily be misled, but Colonel Skool knew very well: Gaspar Bellen, this military-renowned handsome man, was not as uninhibited and free-spirited as he appeared to most people at first glance.
On the contrary, Gaspar Bellen was a meticulous and thoughtful person, excelling in logical deduction rather than intuitive judgment.
Because they had known each other for many years.
At the same time, Gaspar Bellen also concluded that he should answer his senior's question head-on.
Because when Colonel Skool spoke, the freemen of the Newly Reclaimed Land all cast their eyes on him, meaning people expected to hear his answer.
But those glances were cold, mixed with a faint resentment, signifying that people already knew the answer.
For an answer the audience already knew but still wanted to hear, staying silent or evading the issue was not a good choice.
