Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

This discussion caused a huge uproar, with some people even questioning the outcome of the discussion and believing that there was some favoritism towards the executive "The Rich" Pantalone.

This prompted the protesters to gather and express their doubts about the outcome, with many shouting this sentiment.

They demand a fair and open outcome, and they strongly request a public interview with the executive officer, "Rich Man" Pantalone, who is the person involved, and a direct response to all their questions!

Under the overwhelming public pressure, the matter reached the ears of Pantalone, one of the parties involved.

When faced with reports from his subordinates about this situation, Pantalone, who was directly involved, simply smiled and gave this reply.

"Since they want an answer, then let's give them one."

After some discussion, Pantalone, as the person involved, decided to hold the meeting in the square of the winter capital.

He also made a promise to everyone that on the agreed date, he would publicly and directly respond to all doubts and questions from the outside world.

As time passed, the appointed date soon arrived.

Pantalone kept his word and, protected by the army of Fools, arrived at the meeting place in the Winter Capital Square, ready to answer everyone's questions directly.

At the event that day, countless people sent interview requests to Pantalone.

Among those who raised the questions and conducted the interviews were people from all walks of life, including workers who had lost their jobs because of Pantarone or because of Pantarone's five-year plan, merchants from other countries, and people representing the Adventurers' Guild.

The area is large and can be described as a mixed bag.

Because of the large number of interviewees, the questions asked were incredibly diverse, covering all sorts of topics.

"Lord Pantalone, will your 'Autonomous Machinery Plan' lead to the destruction of Winter's existing industrial system and cause more workers to lose their jobs? Are you aware that you might become Winter's sinner?"

"Lord Pantalone, does your plan to manage currency through the development of the 'Void Dream System' belonging to Winter' mean you intend to seize the wealth of the merchants?"

"Mr. Pantalone, what is your opinion on the recent rumors about a 48-hour workday? What does this have to do with the rumors that you intend to numb the minds of workers and exploit and control them?"

"Lord Pantalone, has your autocratic behavior exceeded the authority you are entitled to as an executor? Some people doubt whether you are truly qualified to assume the responsibilities of an executor, and whether the executor has become a 'regent' acting on behalf of the Queen?"

"Lord Pantalone, are all the plans you have devised truly for the sake of the Queen and for Winter? Have you perhaps harbored any personal desires within them?"

"Lord Pantalone, has the desire brought about by the excessive power and autocracy of the Executive overwhelmed your rationality, causing you to begin to deviate from Her Majesty the Queen's true will?"

"Lord Pantalone..."

……

This barrage of questions came out like a deluge of garbage, and some people took the opportunity to criticize Pantalone's actions.

Some liberals have even directly called Pantalone a dictator in the questions they raise.

The highly aggressive and accusatory language and rhetoric caused a growing sense of irritation to appear in the eyes of the Fools soldiers under Pantalone's command who were in charge of managing the scene.

However, Pantalone, the person involved, remained remarkably calm and composed in the face of these sharp attacks.

Compared to his shrewd and capable executive colleagues, Pantalone saw these guys trying to embarrass him as nothing more than clowns.

So he simply adjusted the microphone on the podium at the front of the venue, and a burst of piercing noise followed, instantly silencing the previously noisy scene.

After glancing at the diverse and unrecognizable figures in front of the venue, he simply tapped the table and answered.

　"I know many of you have questions for me, but I think it's necessary to follow the order of questions. As interviewers, you should know what the rules are."

"I don't want to tell you personally what the proper rules are."

Pantalone's extremely imposing demeanor and his indifferent words.

The person who had originally wanted to take this opportunity to say something swallowed back his words the moment his gaze met Pantalone's.

No matter how much they criticize Pantalone, one thing remains unchanged.

That is Pantalone's identity and authority as the executor of the Fools. When this identity is presented to everyone, no matter how unruly others were before, most people under this identity will become well-behaved.

As for why it was the vast majority of people, it's because there are always a few troublemakers who don't take the identity of the Fools' Enforcer seriously and instead recklessly step forward.

“Lord Pantalone, I feel that it is unfair of you to use your position as an executive of the Fools to oppress people. Everyone here is here in pursuit of an open and fair answer.”

The middle-aged man, dressed in a black tuxedo and looking like a gentleman, stepped forward with his arms outstretched.

He gestured for Pantalone to look at the many other figures present, then met Pantalone's gaze directly, his tone and expression neither humble nor arrogant.

His eyes were filled with the noble brilliance of free will, and he raised his hands high, shouting loudly.

"Look at these people in the distance!"

"All we're asking for is a fair, open, and just response. Since you've chosen to address everyone's questions directly, you must be prepared to do so."

"If that's the case, then when you use your authority to oppress others, how many people will choose to speak out their own questions based on their free will?"

"If authority suppresses the voice of the people, then so-called justice loses its meaning from the very beginning. I think with your wisdom, Mr. Pantalone, you should be able to understand this, right?"

The man who stepped forward shouted this.

That free will and spirit that is not afraid of authority and dares to resist tyranny.

His words were enough to move anyone, and even the other Fools soldiers present couldn't help but show their own emotions after hearing them.

From a purely speech-oriented perspective, the man's speech was undoubtedly extremely successful.

His words already possessed sufficient persuasiveness and appeal, and because he spoke them from the bottom of his heart, his appeal and his soul were elevated to another level.

However, these words may have some effect on others, but for Pantalone, a businessman who is used to using words to deceive people, or even someone who has experienced various speeches in his previous life, they are not so effective.
