Chapter 1107: Chapter 1107: An Almost Cruel Method (2)
Moses responded softly.
“Do you think…” Jessica whispered, “we should take out Barton as well?”
“No!” Moses withdrew his gaze from the window, “This time, GAIA must defeat him openly and honorably.”
Killing a General Barton isn’t difficult, but an assassination like this wouldn’t earn Gan Yuan any points.
Winning this victory in broad daylight will earn her the true respect of the world; otherwise, she will always be seen as a shadowy assassin, not as the princess qualified to rule this country.
Otherwise, there would have been no need to wait until now; Huangfu Jue would have done it long ago.
“But…” Jessica was a bit worried, “can she really win?”
Moses glanced sideways, looking into her eyes, “If my predictions are correct, it won’t be long before Barton willingly surrenders.”
“That’s… unlikely, right?” Jessica asked with some uncertainty, “Currently, the military strength of both sides is almost equal, how could this guy surrender?”
Moses gently shook his head, “That only shows that you underestimate the strength of the Teresa Family; their capabilities are beyond your imagination.”
Jessica didn’t understand politics, nor did she have the sharp observation and insight. But Moses knew very well what the presence of those three who just appeared before him meant.
“Any news of Qian Xueying?” Moses asked.
Jessica shook her head, “Not yet, but I think that woman is most likely already dead.”
Moses slightly furrowed his brow, “Don’t be careless, you must remain vigilant about this woman until we have concrete evidence.”
That woman, causing trouble right under his nose, clearly indicated her exceptional intelligence; this threat must be eliminated, or she would remain a constant threat to GAIA.
Jessica nodded, “Leave these matters to me, you should rest well!”
Moses turned his face to the window, “I just want some peace for a while. Go take care of Will.”
Jessica’s expression became slightly unnatural, “He’s… he’s fine, I…”
Withdrawing his gaze, Moses looked back at her face, taking in the slightly anxious expression of the girl; he reached out his hand and gently patted her arm.
“I’m not angry with you.”
Jessica lowered her face a little embarrassedly, “Sir? I… I was just…”
Moses laughed softly, “It’s just a romance, is there a need for such embarrassment?”
Raising her face, Jessica looked at him with sparkling eyes, “You’re really not mad at me?”
Moses didn’t speak but extended his arms to her, and Jessica laughed, leaning over to gently embrace him.
“Thank you, sir!”
He gently patted her back, his tone gentle.
“Cherish it well!”
Although Jessica had tried hard to conceal it these past few days, Moses could see she was very happy, even more so than when she was by his side before.
For Jessica, Will would do anything; Moses had reason to believe that this man would be a good match for her.

Betty hurriedly dismounted, walked into the living room with her riding gear, and immediately spotted a man standing with his back to her, admiring the oil paintings on the wall.
She cleared her throat lightly, and the man in front of the paintings immediately turned to face her, a smile appearing on his handsome face at the sight of her.
