But he seemed to know everything, just deliberately not saying it.
Incomprehensible, inscrutable.
Yet there was no malice felt, and even a sense of protection could be sensed.
It's like... a feeling of "ambiguous acquiescence."
But Herbert knew that even if it were like that, this acquiescence must have its limits.
I can't cross the line.
Just like some of my previous actions, it's obvious they've already hit him in the face, but he still acts deaf and dumb.
This is an unspoken understanding between Herbert and the Archbishop.
Some things Herbert can do, but he must provide the Archbishop with a reasonable explanation on the surface.
Without a reason, the Archbishop wouldn't allow it.
"Go back and find a chance to probe Old Deng's attitude..."
Herbert continued to ponder, switching to another indirect approach to avoid a head-on confrontation with the Archbishop.
