Leo listened quietly, disapproving of Cass Langton in his heart. In his opinion, even without his arrival, Jason's current porter union president's power, coupled with the Nelsons' status in Port Sète, would be enough.

Easily eliminate the threat of Cass Lunt.

Even so, Leo still asked briefly, "Do you need me to help you solve this problem?"

"No, no need, this is just a small trouble." Lisa shook her head quickly and rejected Leo's kindness.

Since she got along with Jason, she has heard various stories about Leo from Jason more than once. She knows that Leo is a person with special abilities, just like some of the weirdos she has encountered in the tavern.

But she didn't think Leo could solve Jason's current troubles very well.

In her opinion, Leo's way to solve the problem is to get rid of the troublemaker. But getting rid of Cass Lunt is not the best way. On the contrary, it will bring a lot of trouble for Jason to become the manager of the freight terminal.

.

Because almost everyone who cares now knows that Cass Lunt is looking for trouble with Jason and is preparing to kick out the candidate he thinks is the weakest on the list. If something happens to Cass Lunt at this time, it will definitely happen.

It's thought to be Jason's fault.

Although this will not necessarily disqualify Jason as a candidate, it will definitely affect the views of decision-makers. After all, no city manager likes to see a subordinate use such drastic measures to deal with his competitors.

Leo could easily see through Lisa's thoughts. He had no intention of explaining, and just smiled indifferently.

Perhaps because she thought her refusal was too direct, Lisa felt that Leo would be unhappy about it, so she asked about Leo's current situation in a casual way to ease the dull atmosphere in the room.

In this regard, Leo never thought of easing the atmosphere. He always answered Lisa's questions simply, which made the atmosphere even more boring and even a little embarrassing.

"I'm going to see if he's arrived." In the end, Lisa could no longer find a suitable topic to talk about, so she could only stand up, find an excuse, and hurriedly left the room, leaving only her two men behind.

In this room where she felt embarrassed.

Leo didn't say anything. He sat calmly on the chair and looked at the furnishings in the room. His eyes fell on the newspaper rack next to the desk, so he got up and took a few newspapers to read.

As one of the largest port cities in the Kingdom of England, the Port of Set is the city that has the most contact with the outside world. It is also the city where the most foreigners have settled and come and go. Every day, a large number of foreign businessmen come to the Port of Set and leave again.

Kasset Port, so as a world-class port city, city newspapers are naturally diverse. The same newspaper has different world language versions such as English, French, and Sigma, and each of them

The contents of the version records are different, covering almost all kinds of things in all countries in the world.

For example, Leo read from a newspaper about a workers' riot that took place in the Kingdom of Maris half a month ago. This riot spread to the entire Kingdom of Maris, and naturally had a great impact on the kingdom's industry, and even more.

What is even worse is that the Kingdom of Maris failed to quell the riot immediately, causing the riot to gradually expand and have formed batches of workers' armed forces.

The Kingdom of Maris is the largest industrial kingdom in the world of Velen. The latest steam engines are all manufactured by the Kingdom of Maris. Workers can be said to be the cornerstone of this country, but the status of workers in the Kingdom of Maris is not high, even

It can be said to be very low, and some are not even comparable to the private serfs of some noble lords.

Every day, workers do far more arduous work than ordinary people. The living area is small and dirty, and the food they eat is even moldy and expired. The emotions of the entire worker group have been accumulated to the limit, like a volcano that is about to erupt at any time.

, just waiting for a crack to appear above the head, and this worker riot is the best opportunity to detonate the entire worker group of Maris Kingdom.

For ordinary people in Port Set, they only see the chaos in the Kingdom of Maris. It is like reading a book. They forget it after reading it and will not pay too much attention to what is happening in the Kingdom of Maris.

Concern, after all, the Kingdom of Maris is too far away from the Kingdom of Inge.

For businessmen, the chaos in the Maris Kingdom has opened them up to various business opportunities, because as the largest industrial kingdom in Velen, worker riots mean factory shutdowns, which will affect various industries related to the Maris Kingdom.

The demand for goods will inevitably exceed the supply, and the price will definitely rise sharply, so they will think of hoarding a quantity of goods immediately, waiting for the price to rise to the top to sell it, and make a fortune.

The war merchants among the merchants will become even more excited because of this news, because now the Kingdom of Maris will inevitably fall into war, and all strategic materials, whether medicines or weapons, are huge profit commodities.

They are already gearing up and preparing to take a severe blow from both warring parties in the Kingdom of Maris.

For those who are uneasy about a peaceful world, they will be very happy about the emergence of war after seeing this news. They will gather under the command of both sides of the war to fight for their respective ideals, and they will also use the war to obtain money and power.

However, after Leo saw the news, he had a very subtle feeling. He could feel that although the workers' riots seemed to break out suddenly, the aftermath caused by the workers' riots seemed to have a pair of big hands guiding things towards the end.

It develops in an increasingly out-of-control direction.

For example, the riot was initially caused by the accidental death of a worker at work. A workers' mutual aid organization asked the factory owner for some pensions for the worker, but the factory owner rejected the organization's request and asked the factory security to drive away the workers.

organizers and other onlookers, causing conflicts.

Logically speaking, such a conflict would not cause too much trouble, because the factory owners in the Maris Kingdom have rich experience in dealing with such matters. They only need to bribe the leader of the workers' mutual aid organization, and then remove some of the workers who are making noises.

Once people deal with it, this fluctuation will soon subside.

But something unexpected happened that night. The owner of the factory was attacked by masked workers at his home. More than 30 people, including the factory owner's family, bodyguards and servants, were all killed, and the factory owner's family members were also killed.

He was tortured very cruelly before his death.

If the deceased was just an ordinary factory owner, it would be fine. The local city hall would arrest some workers who set up trouble. Regardless of whether they were guilty or not, they would be tried as guilty and then executed, suppressing the workers' will to resist.

But the problem is that this factory owner is also a member of the municipal council, and his wife, one of the deceased, is the daughter of a great nobleman in the Kingdom of Maris, so this matter becomes a little different.

The city hall sent out the army and police to capture all the workers in the factory without any purpose, regardless of whether the worker was guilty or not, and selected more than a hundred well-respected workers, quickly tried them, sentenced them to death, and others.

Some workers were even sentenced to mining in the mines, which was even more cruel than a direct sentence of death.

After this sentence was issued, workers throughout the city were outraged. Then a few prestigious workers raised their arms and led the workers to raid the arsenal and military camps in the city. They quickly armed themselves, stormed the prison, and rescued the imprisoned workers.

.

Originally, the several labor leaders were planning to stop there and then negotiate with the established factory owners' organization before deciding what to do next.

But what they didn't expect was that although they were the igniters, the trend of the fire was not under their control. Their success seemed to see an opportunity for other workers' organizations who were watching. In an instant, all the workers' organizations in the city launched a riot and invaded.

When they arrived in the wealthy areas of the city, all the usually honest workers turned into thugs. Not only did they rob shops and apartments, but they also trampled under their feet all the big shots they could only look up to in the past. They abused, ravaged, and finally killed all of them.

Not only the factory owners in the city, but also ordinary businessmen were not spared, so all escape routes were blocked by this out-of-control riot.

The most strange thing is that even though the Maris Kingdom blocked the news, the news of this workers' riot spread throughout the Maris Kingdom in a short period of time. Eventually, a small riot in one city turned into a riot that could overturn the world.

A great riot in a powerful country.

When Leo read this report, he already thought that there was someone behind this incident, and he also thought of the two most likely people or countries to do this, the French Empire and the French Empire.

United Kingdom, Louis X and Rupert Fitz.

With the division of the French Empire, the crown of the first land power that had been worn by the French Empire for many years has been crumbling. Although the French Empire's army did not suffer much losses due to the division, it still has a strong army, but it has lost

Without the support of merchants and industries in West France, the French Empire was no longer able to support such a huge army military expenditure. There were already voices within the French Empire to abolish the army and reduce the financial burden.

There is no doubt that once the French Empire abolishes its army, the crown of the first land power will definitely be transferred to other countries. Among the more than twenty countries in the world of Velen, the most likely to inherit this crown is the industrial power.

Kingdom of Maris.

Therefore, the French Empire is definitely the country that is most willing to see the Kingdom of Maris fall into turmoil, and will also do something to cause the Kingdom of Maris to fall into turmoil. Such a turmoil will be enough to shake the Kingdom of Maris regardless of whether it is ultimately successful or not.

foundation, and neighboring countries will take this opportunity to weaken the Kingdom of Maris. The final result will only be that the Kingdom of Maris withdraws from the list of powerful countries and is no longer qualified to bear the title of the most powerful country on land.

As for Rupert Fitz, he also had enough reasons to control this matter. A long time ago, Rupert Fitz had planned to let the workers' organization he secretly controlled enter the Kingdom of Maris, but it ended in failure.

The entire power structure of the Kingdom of Maris, even those who accepted bribes from Rupert Fitz, are all opposed to this matter. This leaves the world's largest workers' kingdom without a unified and complete workers' organization.

, there are only some workers’ mutual aid associations that are limited to a certain factory.

This incident has always been recorded in Rupert Fitz's heart, and he mentioned it from time to time in some public places, taking the opportunity to show concern for the poor treatment of the workers in the Maris Kingdom, and also mocking the Maris Kingdom from time to time.

It is a variant of slavery.

Because of Rupert Fitz's excessive words, some factory owners and nobles in the Kingdom of Maris, with the tacit approval of the country, used some extraordinary means to deal with Rupert Fitz, including an assassination and even

He almost killed Rupert Fitz, so Rupert Fitz and the powerful people of the Maris Kingdom can be said to have a sworn enemy, and he will never let go of the opportunity to deal with the Maris Kingdom.

Judging from the time when riots occurred in various parts of the Maris Kingdom, it was obvious that there was a trace of connection between them and that there was a plan in advance. And judging from the course of their riots, they all targeted arsenals, military camps and police stations.

Control the violent organizations and weapons in the entire city, and then take over the entire city. The methods are sophisticated and exactly the same. There is no doubt that there must be a big force secretly controlling it.

Being able to have great influence among the workers and silently establish an underground force that expands to the entire Maris Kingdom, it is almost impossible for anyone else in the entire Velen world except Rupert Fitz to be able to do this.

.

Leo is not interested in where the Kingdom of Maris will go because of the workers' movement. He is concerned about the adverse impact that the chaos in the Kingdom of Maris will have on Old Rembrandt, because Old Rembrandt went deep into the Moissanite continent this time.

In addition to his own funding, the wilderness expedition also had several major sponsors, all of whom were from the Maris Kingdom. Even the members and bodyguards of the adventure team were mostly from the Maris Kingdom.

The current news of the turmoil in the Maris Kingdom may not have reached such a remote place deep in the wilderness of the Moissan Continent, but the news will reach there sooner or later. By then, there will definitely be some chaos in the expedition team, and Old Rembrandt may also

It will be more or less affected. If adventurers and treasure hunters who are interested in the things inside the ancient ruins take the opportunity to cause trouble, Rembrandt may be in some danger.

However, thinking of Old Rembrandt, Leo couldn't help but look at the feather in his storage space. He didn't like the feeling of being in debt, so he had the urge to go to Moissan Continent and find Rembrandt.

Old Man Brown handed the feather to him to settle the debt, but in the end he endured the impulsive emotion and followed his original choice to stay in Port Sète to rest for a while.

Just as Leo was flipping through the newspaper in his hand, a burst of rapid and heavy footsteps came from outside the door. Then the door of the office was roughly pushed open, and Jason's huge body appeared at the door, and his face was full of beard.

, the majestic-looking man smiled like a child after seeing Leo, strode forward, hugged Leo hard, and said with a smile: "I knew it, I knew it

Nothing will happen to you!"
