Guild eting #2 (4)
Indeed, he was the assistant of Banco, who had caught the lord.
Daring to have such thoughts.
In the turbulent conference room, the guild mbers began to nod in agreent.
"Look at that young man. His way of thinking is completely different from ours."
"It's no wonder he caught the lord. There must be a reason for it."
"There are people who think like that too."
"Listening and seeing, it's true. We do have that much power. If it's not the emperor we're pushing for, then what is it?"
"Even if the 1st prince is talented, he can't win the crown war without money. Frankly, if we support one of the two princes properly, that person will beco the next emperor, right?"
At this mont, Rockefeller's words continued.
"That incident was the result of the 1st prince underestimating us. How trivial a group must he have thought we were to ignore us like that? If he had known our true strength and continued to act accordingly! The attitude the 1st prince would have taken towards us would have been completely different from now."
Rockefeller's words implicitly implied that the Lyon Guild had been on the wrong path until now.
And those words indirectly revealed dissatisfaction with the guild leader who had led the Lyon Guild in that way.
"Quiet! Be quiet!"
After the conference room beca noisy, the guild leader, with a more hardened expression than before, quieted the room and spoke to Rockefeller, who was looking at him.
"What does that ignorant kid know to babble like that?"
"You, my friend. I felt it back then too, but you're really an ignorant kid."
Benjamin's hardened expression was only for a mont.
He forced a kind look on his face and continued.
'I need it for my testimony later. I'll have to bear with it until then.'
"I understand. If you lack experience, you can naturally think like that. But, it's not that easy. On the contrary, if we show that kind of courage, we could be ruined. We might even see a very dangerous situation where a Banco rchant dares to set us up like that."
However, not everyone shared the sa thoughts.
Several guild mbers who strongly agreed with Rockefeller's words stood up and continued to shout at the guild leader.
"Why are you doing this when he's right!"
"Right! It's all true! How much of a pushover were we for them to co out like that!"
"Let's show them how scary we can be this ti!"
"Right!"
The conference room stirred again.
The voices of opposition, which did not even agree with his thoughts, were very unpleasant noises to the guild leader.
"Quiet! Be quiet!"
Once again, Benjamin, who had quieted the conference room, found Rockefeller, who was still holding the floor.
'If you're planning to stay in this guild, you shouldn't talk like that. What are you thinking? Don't you have any intention of getting along?'
"Since the topic has co up, why don't you tell us? Do you think I've been running the guild wrong up until now?"
In fact, there weren't many guild mbers who had the guts to say that in such a place.
Most of them couldn't dare to raise a rebel against Benjamin, except for a few guild mbers with considerable power or close ties with the upper echelons.
But Rockefeller was different.
'You don't fit in there at all.'
"My opinion remains unchanged. I believe the attitude the guild has taken so far is wrong. It's ti for a change."
Change.
At that single word, the entire conference room began to stir again, and Benjamin's expression could only grow sour.
In the midst of the noise, the guild leader, who had been quietly chewing on Rockefeller's words, spoke in a low voice.
"You don't seem to care about my feelings at all. To say such things. Haha......"
At the end, even an absurd laugh escaped from him, and Rockefeller changed his attitude for a mont.
"Why would that be? I was just angry at what the 1st prince said, and I just made so nonsense out of it. It's purely my personal opinion, so I hope you don't get too swayed by it."
"Is there anything to be swayed by? It's just a babble from a kid who doesn't know anything about the world."
Rockefeller's gaze remained unchanged.
'He's definitely annoying and unlikable.'
A goldsmith?
A guild mber?
'No way. I'll kick him out of this industry forever. It's not difficult with the power I have.'
"Now that you've said that, let's move on to the next agenda. In fact, the next agenda is more important for this eting."
Then a guild mber objected.
"Are you already discussing the next agenda when the first agenda hasn't been properly resolved yet?"
"That's a matter for to decide, so I'll move on at my discretion. You don't have any good opinions anyway, do you?"
"We still have to look for it! Or what the young man said earlier isn't bad either!"
"If there had been a good opinion, of course, I would have accepted it. And the reason I brought up that story as this eting's agenda was to ask if there were any good opinions among you, but ultimately, it's a matter for to decide."
Benjamin continued.
"If you have any good ideas, feel free to consult with at any ti."
When no more words ca out about the first agenda, Benjamin began to explain the subsequent agenda.
"Next agenda. In fact, it's no exaggeration to say that this guild eting was held to discuss this issue. You've probably heard the rumors already. That young man over there had a ridiculous idea."
Benjamin pointed to the place where the young man nad Rockefeller was sitting.
"In fact, that young man is neither a goldsmith nor a mber of this guild. He's just a young assistant hired by Carter."
Benjamin, who didn't know that Rockefeller had beco a goldsmith with the help of Bishop Verkis, continued to chatter.
"But he had a rather absurd idea and greatly disrupted our ecosystem."
The guild mbers, who were sowhat familiar with the rumors, listened quietly to Benjamin's words.
mbers of the guild, who had so knowledge of the rumors, continued to listen intently to Benjamin's words in silence.
"Is there anyone who objects to this? Speak up if you have any. God is watching."
"In a situation where even the gold storage fees were insufficient, he ca up with the absurd idea of not taking them and even paying interest instead. And there must be a few businesses that have suffered because of this."
