Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

"It seems there are no foreign rebels among those present. Of course, it's also possible that the foreign rebels among you are quite courageous and haven't shown any fear or wanted to run away."

Before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief after Pantalone's first sentence, his next sentence disgusted everyone once again.

What do you mean by "There might still be foreign rebels among them, but it seems these foreign rebels have the backbone to stay"?

What does this sentence mean? Can you explain it to them?

Ultimately, Pantalone never believed in the existence of so-called foreign rebel forces; he simply thought it was convenient to hold that label in his hands, which is why he said it that way.

If any one of them does not meet Pantalone's expectations, or contradicts Pantalone.

They might then randomly become one of the lucky audience members and be labeled a traitor to foreign forces by Pantalone. At that point, being labeled a traitor would be a minor matter; being accused of treason would be a much bigger deal.

That person could be considered a sinner despised by the entire winter, so this label should absolutely not be worn.

At least none of the Winters here want to wear this hat.

As for the other foreigners mingling in the crowd, they were more worried about their money and assets in the winter, since they were afraid of being labeled with such a name.

Then the fools could essentially confiscate their property openly and legitimately, and hand over all their assets without any reason, which would be unacceptable to any merchant.

Some people have even started planning to withdraw all the money from the Northern Bank after they return, in case they are accidentally labeled as traitors one day, then the Northern Bank will really swallow up this money.

They had a thousand and one legitimate reasons to believe that this smiling tiger would definitely do it.

"Very well, since that's the case, let's get back to today's main topic: the purpose of the interviews that most of you have come here for. Now you can begin asking your questions in an orderly manner."

"Don't worry, I will answer all your questions one by one and try my best to give an answer that will satisfy everyone."

Seeing that no one objected, Pantalone, with what he considered to be a 200% friendly smile, extended his most sincere invitation to the others.

He stated that he was not lying at all, and that this statement was entirely from the bottom of his heart.

There's no emotion involved, it's all technique.

Seeing Pantalone's utterly hypocritical demeanor, many people couldn't help but want to grab the figure on the platform by the collar and hurl insults at him—

'What are you pretending for, you heartless capitalist!'

Ultimately, however, due to the oppressive presence of Pantalone and the large contingent of Fools soldiers maintaining order around him, he silently chose to follow his heart.

It wasn't until quite a while later that someone cautiously stepped out from the crowd, completely unlike their initial aggressive demeanor, asking questions timidly, as if afraid of offending Lord Pantalone.

"Um, regarding Lord Pantalone's 'Autonomous Machine Project,' we'd like to know..."

"This is part of the plan."

Pantalone replied with a smile.

This left the person who asked the question speechless for a moment, unsure of what to say.

After looking around at the crowd behind him, who all took two steps back, he fell silent. He then turned his gaze to Pantalone, wanting to ask her something.

But before he could even ask, Pantalone still brushed him off with the same excuse.

"This is part of the plan."

"..."

This caused him to fall silent for the second time.

He felt that perhaps this was a somewhat inconvenient question to ask, and that Lord Pantalone didn't want to answer it. So he decided to try another one.

"About the 'Void Dream System'..."

"This is also part of the plan."

"So what's the truth behind that rumor about a 48-hour workday...?"

"False information, the next question."

"..."

Chapter 98 Serving as Master Pantalone's Dog is My Blessing (4k)

After dealing with the protesting troops and silencing everyone.

Those who used to be the loudest seem to have vanished; no one dares to speak up anymore.

It was as if the massive outcry against the executive "Rich Man" Pantalone had never happened; everyone tacitly refrained from mentioning the matter again.

The main reason for all this is Pantalone's unbridled dictatorship.

They thought this would force Pantalone to submit to them, but they forgot that Pantalone, as the executive officer, didn't need to worry about so much; he only needed to use his power to silence everyone.

Like something that can't be spoken of, it was something that no one dared to mention afterward.

They would mysteriously vanish into thin air in the eyes of everyone, and no one knew where they went.

But everyone who attended that public speech by Pantalone had a vague idea of ​​where those who had vanished had gone, especially since they all talked about things related to the executive "Rich Man" Pantalone.

This inevitably led them to speculate about where those mysteriously vanished people had gone.

Even though they had some suspicions about all of this, they still dared not say it aloud.

It was as if an invisible hand was forcibly suppressing everything, and this mysterious power made them suspect that perhaps other forces were involved.
