Chapter 658 – Solicitation
“Now, please wait a moment. We will open the door soon.”
After hearing Bark’s name, Joanna hurriedly opened the door and let the two beautiful girls into her house.
After putting drinks on the table for the two guests, Joanna sat across from them and asked carefully.
“Hey… What’s your relationship with Captain Bark…”
“My name is Sunni. I am his wife.”
“I am Herenia. I am a housekeeper.”
“Ah, wife?! The captain’s wife… Was she your wife?!”
After hearing their self-introduction, Joanna was shocked and jumped up.
And she knelt down in front of Suni and said.
“Say, ma’am. I, I am just a relationship between a captain and his father, a subordinate and a superior!! It’s true!”
Joanna was trembling.
She knew that Bark was a married man.
This is because she had already received information before joining Bark’s operation team.
When she first joined Bark’s team, she never dreamed that she would have such a deep relationship with him.
However, there was no contact with Bark, and his wife came to the house.
In Joanna’s mind, she naturally pictured how this situation came to be. She decided to completely deny it in order not to put pressure on the captain.
“Ma’am. Oh, I think there’s a misunderstanding… Me and the boss are definitely not having an affair! Please believe me!!”
“Yes? Ah… Yes…”
When Suni saw Joanna denying the situation, she responded hesitantly. She didn’t come to question that in the first place, and Joanna’s reaction was far from her common sense.
Herenia quietly whispers in Sunni’s ear.
(Ma’am. If you react like that, isn’t it like confessing to anyone that you have a suspicious relationship with Bark? Rather than saying that she is Bark’s subordinate…)
Herenia couldn’t bear to say, “You look like a mistress.”
(What can I do? I have to understand… I’m so desperate, but I pretend not to notice.)
(Ah, I understand. As expected, you are the wife.)
Herenia did not understand how this assumption was maintained.
Not only did Bark have an inappropriate relationship with his daughter, but he also made her his mistress. But he even orders his wife to take care of her mistress…
‘Are you saying that dramas and movies were also fantasy? Increasingly, I feel that the information I get there is not very helpful.’
Herenia wondered if she was too unaware of reality. I remembered someone’s post I saw online.
Did you say, ‘Stop being a link and live this life…? I think he understands that now.
“Oh, okay, calm down. I didn’t come here to argue about that.”
Sunni lifts Joanna, who is lying down.
“Huh?! You mean that, wasn’t it? Haha… I guess I misunderstood something. Madam. Please forget everything I said.”
Joanna’s dying face quickly comes to life.
“… Then what happened…”
“Do you know that my husband was captured by the military?”
“Are you saying the captain was captured by the district military?! I didn’t know. That’s why I couldn’t contact you.”
Joanna was relieved that Bark had not abandoned her, but she also began to worry.
“Joanna. The reason I came to you is that I heard a request from Bark.”
“No, please, ma’am. Just give me the order. I will do my best to help.”
Joanna’s eyes were burning with enthusiasm.
“Bark is thinking of escaping from prison.”
Joanna nodded and opened her mouth, as if she now knew why Sunni had come.
“You mean jailbreak? I understand. Don’t worry, ma’am. If that’s what you want, I will help you as much as I can.”
“That’s not it.”
“Yes?”
“Bark, you will succeed in escaping prison even without our help. Of course, you won’t get caught.”
Joanna thinks for a moment and nods her head.
“With the captain’s ability… It might be possible. No, it would be possible. I guess I didn’t trust him too much. I will reflect on it.”
“If Bark escapes from prison, what do you think the military will do next?”
“… I guess it will be an investigation by people around me.”
“Yes. Not to mention my family, you, who were on the same team in Rebellion, will also be investigated.”
“Ma’am, don’t worry! I won’t open my mouth!”
Joanna patted her chest and spoke confidently.
“We didn’t come to ask for that.”
“… Then what…?”
Joanna tilts her head as if she doesn’t know what Suni is trying to say.
“My family plans to flee before Mr. Bark escapes.”
Joanna was shocked when she heard those words.
“That means…”
“Yes, Joanna came to ask if you would like to go with us.”
Joanna had a small question about Suni’s sudden suggestion. Because she was no different from anyone else.
There was no reason for her to come and make this suggestion.
“Ah!”
Joanna was soon able to notice one thing. Why does Sunni make this suggestion?
“Seo, can’t it be…?”
“Yes, that’s right. This is Bark’s will.”
Tears quickly welled up in Joanna’s eyes and fell.
“Hehe… Captain… You thought of me even though you were going through great hardship… Hehe!!”
“…”
Sunni and Herenia looked at Joanna, who was shedding tears of emotion.
“Of course, you don’t have to feel burdened by joining us. You can refuse. I know that your father is a high-ranking military officer. If you let the military know that Bark is planning a prison escape, it won’t cause much harm to you. .”
“I don’t… Do… Things like that. Sniff… I don’t know… That too…”
“Yes, Mr. Bark, I hope that Joanna will not be harmed by his prison escape.”
“Uh huh… Captain!!”
“I’m not telling you to decide right here and now. I’ll give you contact information, so please contact me when you make up your mind.”
Joanna, who had been shedding tears of emotion for a while, sipped her dripping snot and asked.
“Sigh… If I follow my wife… Will I be able to see the captain again?”
“Yes, I will be able to see you.”
“Is that so? I have already decided! I will follow you, Captain!!”
“Is it really okay?”
Suni glances at the photo on the table. It was a photo of Joanna and a person who appeared to be her father standing awkwardly.
“It’s okay. It’s okay. My father will understand me too. I try to protect human rights!”
Sunni thought as she saw Joanna showing her strong will.
‘I don’t think you understand…’
Suni also knows her father Martin.
Zephyria was a high-ranking military officer who participated in the truce negotiations with the official arch-devil Unho.
Joanna, reading her untrustworthy expression, decided to appeal to her own heart once again.
“Madam, don’t worry! This is Joanna. Although she may be a poor subordinate to the captain, she comes from a family of soldiers and is confident that her loyalty will never be defeated by anyone!!”
‘If you come from a military family, isn’t loyalty to the country a priority…? .’
Herenia barely swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Herenia, who was leaving Joanna’s mansion with Suni, opened her mouth.
“For some reason… He didn’t seem like a person with normal thinking. Honestly, I think he’s worse than me, who works as a housekeeper, for Master Bark to have as his subordinate.”
“I said he was a loyal subordinate, but I didn’t say he was a capable subordinate.”
“… I see.”
After finishing their business with Joanna, the two people got into the waiting car and disappeared.

“Hmm… So, with Mr. Bark escaping from prison, the military’s investigation could also be carried out on us.”
Veronica said with her arms crossed with a serious face.
“I guess so.”
“But Miss Chaos, wasn’t that the story when Mr. Bark successfully escaped from prison?”
“Father will definitely succeed.”
“You have a lot of trust in Mr. Bark. Looking at your abilities… It seems highly likely that this is true. Certainly… It is reasonable to assume that Mr. Bark successfully escaped from prison.”
“Do you think the military will end with a simple interrogation?”
“That’s… Probably not…”
“That’s right. Of course, they won’t stop there. The military might take us hostage to catch my father who escaped from prison.”
“Are we really going to go that far?”
Lynette still had a skeptical expression.
“No! Miss Lynette. You don’t know the fear of the corrupt Zephyria army. He will remain like that.”
Veronica shook her head at Lynette as if she had no idea what was going on.
“Well, then what should I do…”
Lynette’s large eyes shake uneasily.
“Miss Chaos, will you tell us that? The fact that you brought this up to us means that there is a solution to it, right? Miss Chaos?”
“As expected, Chairman. Have you noticed? That’s right. Our family plans to hide before something like that happens. Of course, if the Chairman and senior Lynette want to join our family, we plan to make a place for them.”
“Hide yourself? Where?”
“I’m sorry, but that’s still top secret. I’ll tell you when the time comes.”
“I understand.”
“… Of course, I’m not forcing you to join me. That’s President Veronica and Lynette’s freedom. If you want, your family can join too.”
“… You even thought about our family? It looks like you prepared well. Still, Ms. Chaos, this is… Not an issue that can be decided easily.”
“Chairman. I know that. Think about it slowly. I will let you know when the implementation date is set. You can only decide until then.”
