Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

He quickly suppressed his resentment and instead respectfully addressed the executive officer to whom he served.

“I understand what you mean, Your Excellency Pantalone.”

As a die-hard fan of Mr. Pantaloni, he naturally knows what is most important.

Therefore, he understands what personal emotions are and self-control is when it comes to tasks.

Seeing this, Pantalone nodded in satisfaction, then handed the other party the letter and gave them instructions.

“Very well, now I have another task for you. I need you to deliver this letter to the Executive Officer ‘Rooster,’ who is also our mayor.”

"Leave this matter to me. I will certainly complete your task, Lord Pantalone."

After accepting the task given to him by Pantalone, he stated with a determined expression that he would definitely complete the task assigned to him by Lord Pantalone.

After giving Pantalone a salute reminiscent of the Fools, he accepted the letter Pantalone gave him and then left the room.

Just after the other person left the office, the sudden sound coming from behind Pantalone brought his thoughts back to reality.

When he turned his head to look in the direction behind him, what came into view was a girl disguised as his secretary, Columbia, who was tilting her head and drooping as she asked him questions.

"Speaking of which, how exactly do you plan to deal with this mess? You know, if Alegino's tactics against you get back to Piero, what will happen?"

"Leaving aside whether you have any plans or not, even if you haven't done anything, once this matter blows up, your political influence will weaken, and it will become very difficult for you to do other things at that time."

"So I'm quite curious, how do you plan to resolve this situation?"

After listening to Colombia's question, Pantalone simply smiled.

"There are solutions, of course."

This wasn't Pantalone trying to hold a grudge or putting on an act.

Because he did indeed come up with a solution to the situation.

While he might not be as adept at devising plans as others, he considered such matters incredibly simple.

Columbia looked at him curiously and asked a question after hearing his calm and composed answer.

"Oh? You seem quite confident, is it because of that letter you had your subordinate deliver to 'The Rooster'? But I recall you and Puccinella were political rivals, weren't you?"

Do you think he will step in and help you resolve this matter?

When Colombia asked her, Pantalone didn't say much, but simply explained it this way.

"Sometimes, so-called political enemies are something that can be transformed. In the end, political enemies in the officialdom are not enemies on the battlefield. The conflicts between them are just conflicts of interest, and they will not fight to the death."

"So as long as I'm willing to give up a little bit, the mayor would naturally be very willing to help me resolve this matter. I might lose some things, but I will gain more afterward."

Pantalone is not a pedantic person. As long as he can gain enough benefits and help solve his problems, he is not unwilling to cooperate with people he doesn't like.

As a "rich man," his wealth is not only reflected in his monetary possessions, which gives him enough capital to support him in doing this, if he so chooses.

Moreover, as a politician, he would never pass up the benefits that were offered to him.

This is why he was so confident that the "rooster" wouldn't refuse him.

However, what he didn't say was...

One of the main reasons he was willing to seek help from the "rooster" was that he could also divert some of the attention from the "rooster" and, ideally, drag the old man down with him.

Pantalone thought this with malice and malice.

Colombia nodded thoughtfully after hearing Pantalone's explanation.

However, what she was thinking about was clearly not what Pantalone had mentioned, but something else entirely. After finishing her thoughts, Columbia pondered for a moment, then leaned her head and rested her hands on the table behind her.

"Simply put, this is also part of your plan, right?"

This made Pantalone, who was originally going to give a longer explanation, pause for a moment after hearing this answer, and then nod and said.

"Yes, that's part of the plan too."

In short, everything is part of the plan.

Chapter 89 The banker's values ​​are more distorted than mine, the mayor's (4k)

After Pantalone's subordinates successfully delivered the letter, the mayor, who was just as amiable as him, agreed to a private meeting and discussion with him.

This time, Pantalone met with "The Rooster" without Columbia by his side.

While Columbia's disguise might fool the other Fools soldiers, it was clearly too clumsy for the other Fools executives, especially the mayor who controlled the politics of Winter.

Therefore, Colombia did not serve as Pantalone's secretary this time, which relieved Pantalone.

After all, he was facing the mayor who held political power in the winter, the fifth seat of the Fools' Executive, "Rooster" Puccinira. If Columbia were to watch from the sidelines, his psychological pressure would probably double.

Inside the room guarded by the highest-ranking Fools guards, Pantalone, with his fingers interlaced, squinted and smiled as he watched the little old man sipping hot tea in front of him.

The tall hat, the white scarf, and the glasses on the other person's face.

From any angle, he seemed like a kind and amiable old gentleman, but as Pantalone knew him well, it would be truly foolish to underestimate him.

As the mayor of the most important political center in the snowy winter capital, "Rooster" Puchnera, who ranks fifth among the Fools' executives, is someone who deserves my attention from any perspective.

If you reveal your weaknesses in front of him, you will surely be manipulated by this seemingly kind old gentleman.
