Living With My Lady Boss

Dale replied slowly, "Patrick Richie."noveldrama

"Patrick Richie?"

Wilbur asked puzzlingly, "Who is he? Is he a member of the Moda military too?"

Dale nodded and said, "Yes. Patrick Richie is the highest commanding officer in the Moda military now. General Victor used to be the commander of the Moda military when Patrick was only a mere cultivator. Later on, it was said that General Victor fell ill, and Patrick was hired to treat his illness. I'm not quite sure what happened next, but Patrick eventually replaced General Victor. General Victor's family said he has been ill for the past two years and claims that Patrick is just a temporary replacement."

Wilbur frowned and asked, "So, is he the mastermind behind the Night Demon operation?"

Dale nodded and said without hesitation, "Of course. The Night Demon Project is a special research initiative developed by Patrick after gaining control of the military. Even the recent unauthorized crossing of the Kosanto borders by Moda's border military was orchestrated by him. This person has now essentially replaced the Moda military leadership. However, due to the arrogance of Modans and the existing grievances between Moda and Kosanto, no one suspects Patrick's plan. We recruited a lot of sacrificial soldiers for this project."

Dale shook his head and laughed bitterly, then said, "I don't know if this is good or bad, but I do know that once they start participating, they no longer have a choice. The moral of the story is that we can't trust anyone easily. We must make our own choices. Otherwise, someone might force you and leave you with no choice. In that case, there's no difference to being slaves."

Wilbur looked at Dale and said, "It looks like you're quite smart."

"Of course. If I hadn't thought of Patrick Richie all of a sudden, I'm afraid you would've killed me by now."

Dale extended his hand and said, "I hope I can work with you this time, Mister Penn."

Wilbur shook his hand and said, "Alright. Take me to him and I'll sort this out."

Ten minutes later, an SUV drove out from the military camp at high speed. Wilbur was in the passenger seat with Dale driving, going at a speed of two hundred kilometers per hour. Thirty minutes later, both of them arrived at downtown Yalante in the northern part of Moda.

Yalante was an oasis city, with green plant coverage reaching thirty percent of the entire city. This kind of coverage would only make it an ordinary green city in other countries, but in the desert of Moda, Yalante was the best green city in the nation.

Dale drove Wilbur to the forest villa area, and soon, Dale used his position to bring Wilbur into the villa estate directly. Dale said to the approaching butler, "Jim, I need to see General Victor."

Jim said, "I'm sorry, Mister Dale. General Victor is resting right now. He can't meet you at the moment."

Dale smiled and said, "Actually, I have important matters to discuss with General Victor. My friend here and I have something important to tell him."

Dale pointed at Wilbur as he spoke. The butler glanced at Wilbur, then frowned.

He wanted to speak, but a voice could be heard from behind him, "Who wants to meet General Victor? General Victor is resting from his illness. I'm the representative for the military. You can run it by me."
