Lieutenant Colonel Frey simply said in a calm tone, "It's nothing. Our navy and Anguo have always been on good terms. This is a trivial matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lieutenant Colonel Frey and the king returned to the room where they had just been talking. The two squads of guards behind the king stood on either side, bowing slightly to make way for the two of them.

The ministers also left the place with the king, but the captain of the guard slowly walked towards Number One, who was standing silently in place.

He lowered his head slightly and whispered in Number One's ear:

"Is this female soldier your friend? She has a very nice voice, a good figure, and... she's very voluptuous."

As soon as he finished speaking, the captain of the guard raised his head and looked down at Number One.

Looking at Number One, who was barely suppressing his anger, the bulging veins on his forehead indicated that his rage had reached its peak.

The captain of the guard smirked slightly, gave a defiant laugh, and then left the area with the ministers.

When only Number One and a few new recruits remained in the corridor, Number One finally spoke.

"You all go back, I'll stay and keep Bai Xue company."

Hearing Number One's heavy voice, everyone nodded slightly and then left the place.

Meanwhile, Su Su was smiling sinisterly out of Number One's sight.

It's a pity that those good-for-nothings didn't kill that bitch despite having such a good opportunity. But it doesn't matter anyway. After this, let's see if she can still pretend to be as innocent as before.

But she didn't die, and she might expose me along with that idiot Li. Sigh~ I still have to think about how to isolate the two of them tomorrow.

As Su Su walked towards her room, she thought darkly to herself.

After everyone left, only Number One remained in the empty corridor.

The pale yellow light shone on him, and he couldn't help but recall Gu Changqing's emotionless face and cold eyes.

If the immortals were here, what would they do? They'd probably kill them all! Unfortunately, I'm just too useless.

Number One gave a wry smile and walked toward Snow White's door, because Lieutenant Colonel Frey had simply closed it without locking it.

Number One opened the door with ease, and after entering the room, he gently closed the door.

Number One looked at Bai Xue, who was lying on the silk, covered with his navy uniform and covered in wounds.

Tears streamed down Number One's face; he had ultimately failed to protect his teammates.

"I'm sorry... I..."

Number One walked to Snow White's bedside, squatted down, and stammered, his tears already forming two flowing lines.

Bai Xue turned her head with some difficulty and looked at Number One, who was squatting by the bedside. The effects of the anesthetic had almost worn off.

"It's alright, Brother Number One. It's all my fault for being careless. It has nothing to do with you, Brother."

Bai Xue forced a smile and comforted Number One.

But Number One didn't stop blaming himself because of Bai Xue's words; he just said in a tearful voice:

"I'm sorry... It's all... It's all my fault. If I had come sooner, Bai Xue, you wouldn't... you wouldn't be like this. I'm so sorry..."

Number One's tears flowed incessantly, and he clenched his fists and pounded the ground repeatedly.
