In the face of Audion Barrot's almost command-like posture towards Jerome Bonaparte, there wasn't a trace of anger in Jerome Bonaparte's heart; instead, there was a slight sense of delight.
The struggle between Audion Barrot and the National Assembly was originally part of Jerome Bonaparte's plan. The current situation clearly placed Audion Barrot at a disadvantage; otherwise, he would not be desperately seeking his help.
Moreover, even if Jerome Bonaparte did not express any attitude, the old soldier standing by his side obviously couldn't endure Barrot's "insult" to the Emperor's nephew. The trembling old soldier glared at Audion Barrot with a fierce gaze, and the blue flat-topped hat that should have been on his head was thrown at Barrot's feet. He shouted loudly, "Mr. Barrot, standing before you is the Emperor's nephew!"
