"Hey, Mr. Witte, don't be so angry."

"How can you say that about the Thorn Rose Society and Mr. Carres?"

"The Thorn Rose Society has been busy with our Fontaine's affairs and has made many contributions over the years."

"Speaking of Mr. Carres, if he hadn't refused the title of 'Earl' granted by the Momang Palace, we would have to call him Mr. Earl first."

After the official finished denouncing Witt, another person took over the conversation and began to comfort Cares.

"Don't be upset, Mr. Cares. Mr. Witt has been in some trouble recently and has accumulated some anger."

"It's not that we can't discuss your cooperation with [Jia Ziwei Restaurant]. Why don't we talk about it?"

With everyone's comfort, Carres's expression eased a little, while Witt's face still had a hint of dissatisfaction.

Witt muttered quietly.

"How can we build Fontaine by cooperating with a bunch of insects like you?"

Although Witt's voice was not loud, the other officials heard it clearly.

I couldn't help but feel angry.

You, Witt, have been at odds with the Thorn Rose Society because of personal grudges. We have no grudges against the Thorn Rose Society. Why should we risk our lives to join you in boycotting the Thorn Rose Society?

Everyone has emotions, let alone these officials in important positions.

That’s right, your official position, Witte, is half a level higher than ours, but we can still fight against you if we join forces.

You, Witt, don't want Cares to cooperate with [Jia Ziwei Restaurant], right? Then we won't let you have your way!

As a result, in the subsequent negotiations, the resistance Cares faced was greatly reduced.

Finally, Witt gave in and agreed to the cooperation between ThornRose Club and [Jia Ziwei Restaurant].

Of course, although the officials present were dissatisfied with Witte, they still had to maintain the right stance and would not harm the collective interests because of momentary emotions.

They did allow the Rose Thorn Society to cooperate, but there were conditions.

If the Rose of Heaven Society still wants to maintain its current transcendent status, it must continue to work closely with the Fontaine officials.

Then they have to give up the power to deploy security in the [Jia Ziwei Restaurant] in Huihe District, and let them deploy police force there.

On this point, Carres did not refuse.

On the contrary, I am happy to see the results.

After the matter was settled, the atmosphere at the table eased.

At this time, an official thought of something and said to Witt who was sitting in the main seat.

"Mr. Witt, aren't you bothered by those diehard Donatello fans in the police force recently? Why not take this opportunity to transfer them to the Gray River District? Out of sight, out of mind."

Witt's eyes lit up.

"That's a good suggestion, let's do it."

Chapter 111 Night Talk [Added]

[I wanted to post it tomorrow, but after thinking about it, I have already coded it, so I might as well post it now]

[Updated to increase rating from 7.7 to 7.8]

Hearing the end of the negotiations inside the room, the secretary outside also knew it was time for him to come out.

Taking out a box of cigars from his arms, the secretary knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mr. Witte, I bought you the cigars you asked for."

"Ah."

Witt nodded gently, "You keep it first."

"clear."

After the secretary finished speaking, he put the cigar box back into his arms.

Since the purpose of the negotiation had been achieved, everyone decided not to stay here and left after a few greetings.

However, in a place where no one noticed, Cares and Witt looked at each other and nodded to each other.

------------

Late at night, at a wild campsite in Fontaine.

Witt walked over with a brisk pace, and it was Cares who was waiting for him there.

"Are you here? Come and sit down!"

Cares arranged for Witt to sit down, and after Witt sat down, Cares put his feet on the table.

"You are so arrogant tonight. You almost pointed at my nose and scolded me."

Witt scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

"Brother Carres, I am just trying to cooperate with you. If I don't act arrogant, they won't be so easy to talk to."

"Too."

As Carres spoke, he opened a bottle of wine and handed it to Witt.

"Try it, this is beer brewed with water from Baisong Town."

Witt took it and gulped down half the bottle in one gulp.

"Great, this is the taste."

The bonfire in the wild camp was flickering, illuminating the shadows of two people.

"Witt, what do you think about my cooperation with [Good Taste Restaurant]?"

Witt burped and said.

"If you ask me, this move you made is quite clever."

"How to say?"

Witt sighed and spoke slowly.

"It's probably because my character is set up as someone who has a deep hatred for the Thorn Rose Society, so the people in charge are not too wary of me, and have even revealed some of their attitudes to me."

"The current Thorn Rose Society has a very high reputation among the people because of the construction of waterways and the reputation it has accumulated over a long period of time."

"It was so high that it made those people feel uneasy."

"Brother Carres, you should be careful recently."

"They want to get you, and they have their people targeting you."

"They are waiting, waiting for you to make a mistake."

"Once you make a mistake, they will use all means to ruin your reputation and bring down the Thorn Rose Society as well."

Carres was silent for a while, which was not too surprising.

Witt took a few more sips of wine and continued talking.

"So, Brother Carres, your move to cooperate with [Jia Ziwei Restaurant] is very clever."

"[Good Taste Restaurant] is a group of fools, but it is not a group of fools."

"Your move is equivalent to placing the Thorn Rose Society in the center of a scale, giving it the ability of strategic deterrence."

"Those in the authorities would rather continue to tolerate the current Thorn Rose Society than gamble."

"The difficulty of the Thorn Rose turning to the Fatui will be dozens of times higher than it is now."

Kares sighed and said.

"Witt, I have actually thought about what you said."

"In the past, I just wanted to make it easier for Navia to take over."

“I am unwilling to choose this kind of strategic deterrence when I can make peace with the Fontaine authorities.”

"But now I have time."

As Carles spoke, a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.

"I also have the energy to accompany those people in the authorities... and have some fun."

Witt on the side burst into laughter.

"Right, this is the impression I have of Brother Carres."

"To be honest, your performance in the past few years has been a little unfamiliar to me, but now it seems that my brave and fighting boss Cales is back."

Cares stood up and kicked Witt with a smile.

"You boy."

After Witt finished drinking the wine in the bottle, he stood up and said goodbye to Carres.

"Brother Carres, take care of yourself and we'll see you later."

"See you."

Watching Witt's body disappear from his sight, Cares sighed helplessly.

Werther is his last backup hidden in Fontaine.

Carres' trust in him was no less than that of Myles and Silver.

And Witt is responsible for the most important task.

To spy on the attitude of the highest level of the Fontaine authorities; to cooperate with the Rose of Heaven; to protect the Rose of Heaven from extinction after the Rose of Heaven suffers a severe blow; and to achieve equal revenge when the Rose of Heaven suffers a severe blow.

Just like today, Witt not only cooperated with him at the dinner table, but also brought him the attitude of the top executives of Fontaine.

Worthy of the trump card in Cares's hand.

After Witt left, Cares sat in the camp in the wild, looking at the starry sky.

Even though he was not too surprised by the attitude of the Fontaine executives, there was still a hint of sadness in Cares' heart.

I think if I hadn't cooperated with Jiaziwei Restaurant, I would have been stigmatized by them a few years after my death.
