Again thrown for a loop, Dirk looked to his wife and then back to Jack with a laugh. "If that's all, then you're just wasting your time and my time. You have no reason to believe that--"
"Actually, I have all the reason to believe that you would be willing to join Trodar," interjected Jack. "I know more about you than your own general, is that hard to believe considering me and my team managed to creep into your camp without any issues?"
Dirk stayed silent, letting Jack continue the irrelevant attempts to sway him.
"Wenda, how happy are you with your husband's position in the army?" Jack calmly asked her.
"I-I'm very happy with it. He's such a great man, so of course, he deserves his position and rank."
"Are you happy with him being forced to leave the city and the citizens behind while the city burns to ashes?"
Shocked to hear such a statement, Wenda confidently replied, "Dirk would never--"
