Bab 243: The cloak over the Silhouette

After Erick Smakusa's hypocritical attempt to try to cast doubt on Ayumi's loyalty to the Broteforge Empire, he realized that no one actually thought that was possible.

In fact, even Shanks Ballard and Thomas Landford thought the attempt was lame, because everyone knew how dedicated Ayumi was to her work as Matriarch of the Strogueher. She was the person who injected the most coins from her personal fortune into government investments, she was also the most dedicated with security, and she was always the first person to vote for projects that make everyone's lives better.

Frustrated, Patriarch Smakusa returned to his throne, and from then on, the meeting went on without too many problems. Of course, Thomas Landford continued to throw some needles at Ayumi, but when Luke started to look at him angrily because of this, he stopped.

To Thomas, no matter how many times he saw the fuzzy ears of the half-wolf, they would still look like horns.
