Chapter 3257 A Reluctant Compromise

Rocco's steely gaze locked onto Maurice, his voice resonating with determination. "The Gloam Division can acknowledge Matthew Larson's innocence, but we will not apologize to him. That's our bottom line."

Unfazed by Rocco's brusque demeanor, Maurice replied with a hint of reproach, "Commander Rocco, interrupting someone while they speak is not gentlemanly behavior. While I won't dismiss your words, I must remind you of a crucial fact. We don't care whether you agree." He paused, letting his words sink in before continuing, "Furthermore, Mr. Larson is actually on very good terms with His Majesty King Gadel, though he has never mentioned it."

His piercing gaze remained fixed on Rocco, his expression unreadable. The truth hung heavy in the air between them. The Gloam Division could refuse their conditions, but they'd better be prepared for a financial drought in three days.

The organization was walking on thin ice, and Maurice knew Rocco would have no choice but to hear him out.

"I apologize for my rudeness. Please, continue."
