Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2288

Dale replied slowly, "Patrick Richie."

"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."
