Harter felt that he was now in a bit of a predicament.
According to his original plan, he wanted to come along with Pilei to prevent that guy from taking all the credit when reporting it.
The people around him mostly had similar thoughts.
However, what he didn't expect was that the situation would develop into this, where the manager didn't seem to believe their words.
In fact, due to the strong aura of the other party and his assertive tone accompanied by a chilling threat, Harter now began to doubt himself.
In hindsight, it would have been better not to stand out and speak; letting others take the lead would have sufficed.
He regretted it internally.
But since things had reached this point, regret was useless.
Harter could imagine that if he changed his story now, regardless of truth or falsehood, he wouldn't gain any benefit.
So, now he could only grit his teeth and admit it, having no other choice.
