After sending off the mayor of Valley City, Jeremy and Ritchie returned to their room.
The serious expression on Jeremy's face made Ritchie both worried and confused.
After a moment of contemplation, Ritchie finally asked Jeremy, "Is something wrong? Why do you look so serious? You usually only look like this when we're facing a huge problem."
Jeremy silently nodded.
Ritchie's confusion deepened.
He couldn't understand what kind of trouble they were facing. Sure, they had been attacked at their defensive position outside Valley City, but hadn't they already managed to repel the enemy's attack? They had even captured two enemies. These two prisoners would definitely give up some important information. With that, they could prepare for the next phase of their plan.
While the overall situation wasn't great, it wasn't exactly disastrous either.
As Ritchie continued to be baffled, Jeremy slowly spoke up.
