The talks turned out to be more difficult than anyone expected, including Varina.
He originally thought that by relying on the ability of an "instigator" to "persuade" them to change their minds, it would only take a few words.
But the reality exceeded his expectations.
His opponent is Campbell, the current boss of the Dead Eel Gang, that handsome brown-haired man.
12 o'clock noon.
There was a lull in the fighting.
Everyone needs to make up for their consumption through lunch.
At this time, even the dullest people have understood that the so-called talks are in vain, and there are only two people who can really influence the situation.
Bounty hunter Lexa, and guild leader Campbell.
The words of the two of them have a magical power. They make sense no matter how you think about them, and people can't help but want to follow them.
Warina was eating lunch bought from a nearby cafe, with a normal expression on his face, but he was actually feeling uneasy inside.
Soon after the meeting began, it was clear to him that this Campbell was something special.
But he has already sat at the negotiating table, so there is no room for regret.
If he quits now, he will not only lose the workers downstairs, but his influence will also be wiped out, and his future plans will be out of the question.
But if you don't retreat, you will become the enemy of Campbell.
Campbell is nothing, what matters is his background.
After fighting for two hours in the morning, Varina was certain that Campbell's method of influencing other people was very strange and would give people a sense of intimacy similar to that of a "soul confidant."
It’s not “persuading”, it’s not “guiding”, it’s not “distorting”.
If you take into account the handsome appearance and the sealed object mirror in Kent's house...
Then it’s basically certain——
Campbell is a member of the Aurora Society, and is at least a "listener", and most likely just a "listener".
This is Warina's analysis and guess based on his expression.
In order to counter Campbell's influence on others, he rotated several spell-like spells of "Instigator" multiple times, enough for Campbell to analyze his sequence.
Varina noticed that Campbell suddenly paused at a certain moment, and then felt that his tone had become much more restrained.
If he is a "hermit", there is no need to fear an "instigator."
During lunch, Varina thought about it carefully and found that there was something wrong with the way he responded in the morning.
He shouldn't have gone toe-to-toe with Campbell.
Although it was his original plan to directly seize the leadership of this meeting with the power of thunder, since Campbell's accident happened, he should make timely modifications and adjust his strategy.
Wariner secretly regretted that he had spent all his time arguing with Campbell and failed to think carefully.
Fortunately, the situation is not too bad.
First of all, in Campbell's eyes, he also has a background - the Witch Cult.
Strictly speaking, the backstage is no worse than the Aurora Club.
He was acting on his own initiative, but Campbell certainly didn't know that.
What's more, Campbell may not have accepted the instructions from his superiors, he may have acted on his own initiative.
Secondly, and most importantly, the outcome is still undecided.
Now that he has reacted, he can definitely think of a way to compromise with Campbell later, make certain concessions, and redeem his previous mistakes.
He doesn't mind helping workers get better treatment while making plans, but he won't risk his own life.
Regardless of whether Campbell acted on his own initiative or not, at least he can't afford to offend the Aurora Society now.
Then it should be taken seriously.
…
On the other side, Campbell is thinking about similar issues.
He indeed regarded Varina's self-assertion as the intention of the Witch Cult, and he thought very far.
At first, they asked Kent to gather the entire dock area;
As a result, Kent died, and his death was so mysterious that even divination and psychics could not find any useful information.
Then, when he had just conquered the chaotic Dead Eel Gang;
It was this so-called bounty hunter Rexxar who instigated a wage-demand movement, which caused him a lot of trouble.
Now, when he could close the dock area in no time;
This same "instigator" instigated another movement and confronted him head-on.
It seems that the Witch Sect has a firm intention to intervene in the dock area.
Campbell felt that he could not handle this matter.
Obviously, in a verbal confrontation, it would be difficult for him to defeat the other party by relying on the "affinity" ability he understood from the whispers of the great being;
Even if he wins by luck, if the other party becomes so angry that he takes action on the spot...
He can't defeat an Extraordinary of the same series who was born as an "Assassin"!
Although you may be punished if you go back empty-handed, it is better than losing your life.
Moreover, this was clearly planned in advance by the Witch Sect and was deliberately targeted. He did not lose in terms of ability. It could even be said that he was not the loser.
Thinking of this, he made a decision.
…
1 pm.
As agreed, everyone sat back on their respective sofas.
The war resumes.
Of course, this is how other people feel.
Varina was very surprised, why did Campbell misfire? You no longer have the ability, so you just rely on "Mandarin" to cope with the situation?
Even though he was planning to compromise, he still used a basic "charm"...
Could it be that he is not spiritual enough?
Of course, Campbell was not spiritually deficient. He even relied on his "affiliation" ability to vaguely understand Wariner's desire to compromise.
Oh, you take the initiative to calculate, and after you gain the upper hand, you want to give up a small profit to ease the conflict?
Do you want to send us away from the Aurora Club?
Can we bear this kind of injustice?
Just like that, everyone was surprised to see that Campbell suddenly dropped the cigarette in his hand on the ground, kicked it hard, and left the living room where the meeting was taking place.
Not a word was said during this period!
The others looked at each other and exchanged glances, probably full of question marks in their heads.
Wariner's right hand, which he wanted to regain, reached out halfway, but in the end he could not fully extend it.
Although it was mentioned in the original work that members of the Aurora Society were all unreasonable lunatics or potential lunatics, he could really guess some of Campbell's thoughts at this moment.
But it was obvious that he had no chance of recovery.
After thinking for a while, Varina made up her mind and made up her mind before others could react -
Just follow the original plan!
Without Campbell's obstruction, he completely "persuaded" the senior leaders of the Gray Rat Gang in a few words, and then pointed the finger at several members of the Dead Eel Gang.
Soon, the remaining members of the Dead Eel Gang were also defeated.
Varina, who dominated the audience, announced the "consensus" he had designed for the tripartite talks according to his original plan——
The three parties united and established the "Workers' Alliance Party".
Then he started making new personnel appointments.
The Gray Rat Pack, known as the Riverbend Ferry Company, remained virtually unchanged, with the addition of Burton as deputy for liaison and supervision;
The Dead Eel Gang, also known as the Longshoremen's Association, has undergone major changes.
Wariner interviewed every current senior executive individually, and then kicked out most of them, leaving only Hartz, who was very capable.
The position of association president fell to Kirk.
Haz is still the vice-president, but he parachuted Mark, a vice-president of the same level, as a restriction.
The operation method of the association is basically unchanged, except that the commission from the assigned work will be reduced to 20% - this has little impact on the operation of the association, because the other 30% used to belong to the president himself.
The Workers' Union Party is dominated by workers, and its leader is Makarov.
Varina asked them to complete the general integration as soon as possible because he was pressed for time to advance his plan.
The best case scenario is——
He could complete the plan and escape before possible revenge from the Aurora Society.
