The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 644 An Anxious Defense 

“All of my guards were selected following extremely stringent background checks. There’s no way one of them is the mole!” Balthazar was certain.

“But I’m the Minister of Culture. Even though I’m not as powerful as Caspian, I still hold an important government position. There’s no reason for me to be the mole,” Jerry argued in his defense.

Balthazar stared at Jerry without speaking, but his reaction only made Jerry feel even more flustered.

He didn’t know what Balthazar was thinking..

“I swear I’m not the mole, Your Majesty! If I were the mole, why would the spies use such heavy artillery and a bomb? I’d be dead, too! Moles have always been people who value their lives above all else. Why would I risk my own life?” Jerry continued.

Balthazar nodded. Jerry had a point. Then, he said, “I never said you were the mole, Jerry. You’re the one who kept trying to explain yourself.”

“I’m just afraid you’d be swayed by Caspian, Your Majesty! He’s making it sound like anyone who came to see you is undoubtedly the mole. That’s absurd!” Jerry said while exhaling in relief.

“If you’re innocent, what’s there to fear?” Balthazar remarked. Though he

couldn’t know for sure whether Jerry was the mole, he had his guard up against the latter from now on.

“It’s only normal for me to feel scared, Your Majesty. Even though I know I’m innocent, I’m still afraid.
