บท 96: Let the work begin

After a lot of struggles, Oliver finally said, "Okay"

I bent ahead as my face smeared in fake pain so this sudden attack of mine did not erase my facade. My voice was low, so only Oliver could hear it. "Weren't you supporting John? It would be nice that you know your sweet little group is on the red mark for Channing. Plus, your commander Diana is stuck in the enemy village for more than a day now. If you expect me to bring her back, you better behave and apologise. Without Channing here who knows what she was suffering there, helplessly"

Oliver's eyes widened and I finally let him go. He got up and dusted his clothes and spoke while his eyes fixated on the ground in rage. "We will patrol the borders through the night as an apology about our disrespect."

I gave a polite smile, "Oh you don't have to patrol the night, I am not some cruel tyrant who would simply keep you patrolling like some watchmen while I do rest of the work"
