"Why?" The congressmen looked over with concern.

"I wanted to listen to everyone's opinions today before talking about this issue. But now, it seems that I can't do it without talking." Mel nodded politely to Mrs. Gila Mann, and expressed his apology with a smile: "Gila

Mrs. Mann, I'm sorry."

"But what Miss Caitlin mentioned to you, is the factory she and Professor Victor jointly invested in called 'Elvin Hex Audio Workshop'?"

"Yes. But how do you know?" Mrs. Gila Mann frowned slightly.

Mel did not answer directly, but just asked: "Then has she mentioned anyone to you?"

"who?"

"Levi," Mel said.

"Levi..." Everyone was recalling: "That Master Zuan who had a conflict with the Iron Fist Gang and accidentally provoked this incident?"

Because of Caitlin, the Iron Fist Gang incident almost brought an upset to the entire Piltover Council.

Li Wei's name naturally caught the ears of these big shots.

But no one paid much attention to it.

The story of an ordinary person suddenly becoming a mage sounds strange, but it is not uncommon in Runeterra.

With a population of several million in the Twin Cities, it is not unusual for someone to occasionally awaken to magic power, or be lucky enough to be accepted as a disciple by an expert.

Although mages are worthy of attention, they are not worthy of the attention of these big figures.

"But the problem is..." Mel said: "Levi is not just a mage."

"He is still..." She suddenly smiled and crossed her fingers, signaling the maid behind her to come to the table and distribute a pamphlet to each member of Congress: "The author of these articles."

The congressmen took a look at the pamphlet curiously and saw the following words on the cover:

"A Brief Introduction to Janna's Thoughts"

Compared with the initial version a week ago, this booklet is already much thicker. After all, Li Wei is in jail every day with nothing to do, so he can just calm down and perfect his theoretical creation.

"Janna?" Some congressmen asked after seeing the cover: "Is this Janna...referring to the legendary goddess of wind?"

"Yes." Mel nodded: "But that's not the point. The point is the content inside."

"I would like to remind everyone that this is not an ordinary religious book. The contents inside are quite impressive."

This remark aroused everyone's curiosity.

They opened the brochures in their hands one after another and browsed it roughly.

The congressmen were a little casual at first, but as they watched, their expressions became more subtle. The more they watched, the more devoted they became, and the more serious they became.

No one spoke at the conference table for a long time, and the parliament seemed to have become a reading club.

finally...

Some congressmen were the first to express their opinions: "This, this is simply a fabrication and a wanton smear! The people who wrote these articles are simply crazy and extreme haters of wealth!"

Several other congressmen also put down their books, their expressions not very good.

Even if this is a "mild version" that Levi deliberately manipulated to avoid being noticed by others, it is enough to make these big chaebols and big businessmen angry.

They were angry, and a little scared in their anger.

It was obvious that Li Wei had been emphasizing "non-violence and non-cooperation", "moderateness" and "peace" in his articles, but when they saw these cold theories, they still felt inexplicable chills running down their spines.

"This is simply a bunch of fallacies... Block it, it must be blocked!" a member of Congress roared.

"Here's nonsense?" Mel smiled and shook his head: "I think these articles are very good and very thorough."

"Especially the part that analyzes the history of Zaun...The author has a really clear view of the source and accumulation process of wealth."

The article relentlessly exposed the bloody colonial history of Piltover. However, the Myrdalda family, from which Mel was born, still follows the invading army of the Noxus Empire to this day and engages in brutal and primitive colonial plunder.

Business.

Logically speaking, Mel should be angry.

But Mayer admired the author's attitude.

Because she herself hates the bloody atmosphere of Noxus, and she is more willing to let her head move more than simply speaking from behind:

"The theories proposed by the author have reached the category of science and truth. You may not like it, but you cannot just say that it is wrong or does not exist."

"I don't think we need to be too resistant." Mel turned over the pamphlet in his hand with great interest and said with a smile: "If we can understand these and then try to use them in reverse, it will also be a great guide for our business.

significance."

"This..." The congressmen had different expressions and moods.

Heimerdinger, who usually doesn't speak much, also echoed the sigh:

"Congressman Meyer is right. The author's analytical methods and theoretical tools for studying history and society are worthy of a 'scientific' evaluation."

"However, the 'ultimate goal' mentioned in the article... is a bit too unrealistic."

Heimerdinger is a yordle. The yordle's homeland is in the spiritual realm.

The residents there are born with long lifespans and are not restricted by material conditions. Everyone is free to pursue the life they want.

Those who want to be scientists can become scientists, those who want to be generals can become generals, those who want to take risks can take risks all over the world, those who want to grow mushrooms can grow mushrooms all over the world, and those who want to be messy can be messy...

Everyone does what they can and what they need, and everyone has freedom in the true sense.

This is somewhat similar to the ultimate ideal described in the article.

But Heimerdinger cannot agree with the ultimate ideal of this article: "The spiritual realm has the laws of the spiritual realm, and the material realm has the laws of the material realm."

"Human beings are creatures in the material realm and need to rely on matter to survive. To build a second 'Bander City' in the material realm... this is really a great fantasy."

Heimerdinger sighed from the bottom of his heart.

The other congressmen didn't care what he said specifically, they just actively echoed: 'Yes! Since Professor Heimerdinger thinks these theories are wrong..."

"Huh? I didn't say this theory was wrong..."

"Then we should take decisive measures!" The congressmen did not listen to Heimerdinger at all: "Nip this dangerous idea in the cradle!"

Although Li Wei wrote in the booklet about "non-violence and non-cooperation", in the eyes of these big plutocrats:

What? How dare you not cooperate?

Why don't you cooperate and give it a try?

"Congressman Meyer, where did these brochures come from?" Some people were eager to get to the bottom of it and arrested all those involved: "Didn't Levi go to Stillwater Prison a long time ago? Who is printing these brochures for him?

?”

"These brochures..." Mel paused slightly and glanced at Mrs. Gila Mann apologetically: "They are from the 'Elvin Hex Audio Workshop' invested by Miss Caitlin."

Piltover is neither too small nor too big. There are hawks and dogs of the plutocrats everywhere here, and it is impossible to avoid them.

If the leader's public propaganda activities can last for a week before being discovered, it can be considered that the enemy is slow to react.

and...

"In the past two days, local workers in Piltover have privately reported to the Government Affairs Department, saying that their boss, Mr. Erwin, illegally increased the salary of apprentices in Zaun, and also secretly organized strange propaganda activities against the Zaun people..."

"They handed in these booklets when they made the report."

Not only are the plutocrats' eyes and ears everywhere outside, which is the headquarters of the leader, but there are also many dissidents inside the audio factory - those local workers in Piltover.

Although the salary of apprentices in Zaun has increased, it seems to have little impact on these local Piltover workers.

But...just seeing the "poor relatives" suddenly become prosperous, seeing that I can no longer ride on the heads of these Zaun people, and that I can no longer support the female Zaun workers with just a few silver wheels every week...

These local workers in Piltover are unhappy enough.

Not to mention, Erwin and Victor are still making reforms within the factory, trying to promote Zaun apprentices to management positions that only Piltovers could do before...

This touched the interests of the workers in Piltover even more and made them feel uncomfortable.

"Anyway, according to these whistleblowers..."

"The people who distributed these pamphlets to Zaun apprentices and promoted the so-called Janna ideas are Professor Victor and a group of students from Piltover University led by him."

Mel looked at Heimerdinger thoughtfully again.

Seeing that Heimerdinger was really confused, she said leisurely:

"These people call themselves 'Leaders', and their organization is called the Leaders Association. The president is the author of these articles, the mage Mr. Li Wei."

"Mrs. Gila Mann, I'm afraid your daughter is not a business wizard...she is just a collaborator of this leader's organization."

The clues all connected.

It’s no wonder Caitlin was able to pull together a team in just one week, when the team was already there!

Then this team that calls itself the leader...

"It's very dangerous!" Some congressmen judged intuitively: "I think we need to eradicate it!"

"Isn't that true?" Some people are looking at the face of the Gila Mann family, and some people think so themselves: "Didn't they also say it in the article? Bloodshed must not be used, and non-violent non-cooperation must be used to fight for reform.

?”

"I don't think there's anything dangerous about this theory."
Chapter completed!
