Arthur swiftly put on his gloves and glanced at him from the corner of his eye: "A devil, believing in others keeping their promises? Agares, I think you should take a good look at yourself."
Agares was momentarily at a loss for words, the Red Devil left his mouth half-open, unable to speak for a long while.
Perhaps wanting to quickly regain his composure, he changed the subject: "You better manage yourself first! Do you think you can have the final say in the Police Commission? Don't forget, your two partners are no pushovers! One is an old hand who retired from the position of Permanent Secretary at the Home Office, Privy Council Advisor Henry Hobhouse. The other is Commodore Charles Shaw, who has just made great achievements in the Portuguese and Spanish civil wars. Do you really think you can manipulate them?"
Arthur fastened the buttons of his gloves, and upon hearing Agares' words, he responded with a light "Hmm," a sound that neither conveyed agreement nor dissent.
