Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

“Once they start to support me, they will see all those who oppose my plans as obstacles to their well-being, and these opponents will be seen by most of the Winter’s citizens as resisting the political correctness of Winter.”

"So what kind of result do you think this will lead to?"

Looking at Pantalone's incredibly kind smile, he instantly thought of how Pantalone dealt with those people.

He didn't even do anything; he simply labeled those people as foreign rebels.

Regardless of whether they are or not, when the executive says they are.

So even if they weren't, they became so.

This made him instantly understand what Lord Pantalone meant. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face, and he gave his own answer.

“Once they start to rebel and resist your plans, they will not only be going against you, they will be going against the entire Winter’s End. Whether they are or not, they will become the traitors of the foreign forces you are talking about.”

“You’re not too stupid; you can understand what I’m saying.”

Faced with the praise from Pantalone, he simply bowed his head humbly in response.

“Not at all. It’s all thanks to the wise and intelligent Lord Pantalone. I’ve only barely grasped one ten-thousandth of your wisdom. I still have much more to learn from you.”

Pantalone didn't care about the flattery from his subordinates; after all, he had seen plenty of such flattery recently.

Even though he knew that in the eyes of his subordinate, every word he said was a heartfelt expression of emotion.

"More than that, I'd like to know if you have anything else to report to me. I don't like this kind of boring flattery, and you should understand what I mean."

"You are being far too modest, but I do have something else to report to you."

The civil official first praised his idol again before continuing.

"Regarding those individuals you had us detain last time, we made quite a few of those who had objections to your plans disappear without a trace. However, we also caught someone who might be of interest to you."

Upon hearing this, Pantalone couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

Who might he be interested in?

This made him more or less curious.

He didn't think the other party was making baseless accusations. After all, if the other party dared to report to him in this way, then there was a high probability that they were someone he was interested in.

The other party didn't keep Pantalone waiting long, but instead revealed the identity of the person who might be of interest to him.

"That person is actually the man named Ilya who challenged you and threatened to expose your plans. He was also discharged from the military after his accusations against you failed."

"In the process of dealing with those people and making them disappear from the face of the earth, we also brought this person in along with them."

After saying this, the other person paused slightly before continuing.

"However, rather than saying that our people dragged him in incidentally, it would be more accurate to say that he came in on his own initiative. According to him, he seems to want to see you again and plans to have a chat with you."

"Regarding this object that you once said you wanted to pay close attention to, we don't know exactly how to handle it, and we have to ask for your opinion on this matter."

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look appeared in Pantalone's eyes.

If he remembered correctly, this was a real talent, and he never expected that the person would come in on his own initiative and say that he wanted to see him?

This piqued his interest, so he gave instructions to his subordinates.

"Since he wants to see me, then let's get ready. I'm curious to see what he has to say to me."

"I understand what you mean, I will make the arrangements."

Chapter 99 Your Hidden Plan is a Thought Imprint! (3k)

In the dark and cramped room, in a confined space that could barely accommodate one person, a man dressed in prison clothes sat with his head down in his seat, his hands resting on the pure white table in front of him.

This is the place where the Fools imprison those who have vanished from the face of the earth, and those who have triggered some unspeakable darkness in winter.

They were imprisoned in the jails of the Fools and could not escape; as prisoners, they had no possibility of leaving.

Besides being imprisoned here, most of the people here are sometimes taken away and disappear forever; no one knows where those people went.

However, men are different; he is different from others.

The others were forcibly detained, while he chose to come here voluntarily.

As a former sergeant under Arecino, the "Servant" of the Fools, he knows many unknown secrets. Some of those who have vanished forever were disposed of, while others were used in the dark, unspeakable places of winter.

Most commonly, those people would be sent to other executives as test subjects and experimental subjects.

He had often seen similar things when he was a sergeant under "Servant" Arecino, so he was not surprised by it.

Aside from serving as consumables, these people imprisoned here have no other identity. Even the other soldiers of the Fools do not regard them as human beings, but as expendable resources.

It may sound cruel, but this is the most real and dark side of winter.

Of course, as a prisoner, his status at this moment was no different from that of the other people imprisoned here, and he never felt that he was any more noble than the others here.

The reason he chose to come here was very simple: he had something he wanted to do.

That was the answer he finally came to after a long period of deep thought, after witnessing everything that the adult had done with his own eyes.

Ever since that time he tried to decipher the plan of that person at the mansion of the executive "Rich Man" Pantalone, he thought he had found the answer to everything and all the answers, and then confidently stated his answer.

That esteemed person left behind only one meaningful sentence—
