Chapter 598
Upon hearing her words, Rory immediately signaled his men to stop. After all, the current situation was special, and they still needed to try to win over some Cascadians who could speak on their behalf in
public.
The Youth Daily had been causing them a lot of headaches recently. If some issues were really exposed to the international powers, their claim that they had come to Cascadia to change the lives of ordinary
people rather than invade it would be questioned!
Rory stepped forward. “Miss, you’ve misunderstood. The Foplyans have set up schools over there to
provide education for some Cascadian children who cannot afford it.
*This child looks so young, but she’s selling flowers here. So, we thought of taking her there. She’s just
resisting because she doesn’t understand our intentions due to the language barrier.”
Wynter had never dealt with politicians, but one thing was clear–Rory was dodging the issue.
He had even brought along a photographer. As she connected that with the current background, Wynter
instantly understood his intentions.
“Sir, if we were in your country and a little girl walking down the street was suddenly pulled away by
soldiers from another country, what would her reaction be? She would definitely be afraid, let alone…”
Wynter paused. “Your attitude earlier was not friendly. You even forced her to do things she didn’t want to
do.”
“As for the school you mentioned, we would still have our educational institutions even if Foplyans hadn’t
come to Cascadia. After all, our country is home to the father of literature, Atticus Kingsley.”
As soon as she said that, a Foplyan soldier behind Rory moved to point his gun at Wynter’s head.
The nearby onlookers‘ expressions changed immediately. Yet, Wynter, who was standing in the center of danger, showed no fear.
She looked Rory in the eye. “You can shoot, but I’ll say it again–the whole world is watching.”
In an instant, Rory’s expression changed. He raised his right hand and slapped the soldier who was
aiming a gun at Wynter’s face. “Bastard! Apologize to this lady!”
He was always careful when dealing with people who could speak Foplyanese.
Casca
After all, the acquisition of Cascadia’s Labor Union had failed the last time because of two international students from the Quinnell and Whitman families. Not only had they been able to speak the international language, but they had also understood the situation very well. Their refusal had completely thwarted Foplya’s plan!
Despite that, they couldn’t just kill all the members of these two big families!
People with foreign education were different from local Cascadians, including those who worked for Youth Daily. Rory would lose his current position if he really acted against them and affected Foplya’s
major deployment!
“Put the guns away!” Rory’s face was solemn.
It would be troublesome if shots were fired. After all, people from the Youth Daily would definitely not let go of such an opportunity!
It was evident that the Foplyan soldiers were very unwilling.
Roy was in pain after being kicked, and his face twisted in agony. He glared fiercely at Wynter but didn’t dare say anything.
He would definitely not spare Wynter once he figured out who she was.
Wynter didn’t care about what he was thinking. She helped Isla up. “Where do you live? I’ll take you home.”
Isla held Wynter’s hand as she trembled all over. She seemed to have a lot to say, and her lips were even
pale.
As if he hadn’t noticed anything, Rory said, “You’re very smart. Don’t sell flowers anymore. You can go to
school.”
With that, he signaled for Roy to give her money.
