Levi understood.

The Piltover plutocrats regarded him as the new Alchemy Baron and the new comprador lackey.

If he does not act like a comprador lackey and does not recognize Piltover Capital's existing interests in Zaun, then he is in fact an enemy of the Piltover family.

The so-called "non-violence and non-cooperation" naturally can no longer deceive people.

"Mr. Levi, I suggest you agree."

Mel came to Levi this time to discuss this important issue with him.

Her opinion is that the current strength of the Wind Leader is still relatively weak, and the faith of Goddess Janna still has a lot of room for development in the Twin Cities.

The Piltover Conglomerate, especially the Noxian forces behind it, still poses a huge threat to the Wind Leader Association.

"So, we still need to hide our capabilities and bide our time, and we still need to continue to compromise with the enemy."

Unknowingly, Mel was already speaking like a leader.

She naturally calls her own class the enemy and says:

"Temporarily return the shares to these Piltover plutocrats and continue to share the profits from Zaun with them. In this way, these old wealthy people who are still waiting and hesitating may not be able to make up their minds to completely fall out with our leaders. .”

"Exchange money for time and use time to develop. This is a business that does not lose money."

Mel's analysis is correct.

but...

"I refuse." Levi shook his head firmly.

"Why?" Mel frowned slightly, but still listened quietly.

Years of experience in business discussions have enabled her to develop the habit of not rushing into arguments but patiently listening to the other party's opinions.

At this time, only Levi explained: "In Piltover, I can cooperate with them. But in Zaun, in our own base, I still hope to clean the house before treating guests."

The reason is actually very simple.

It's not that Li Wei doesn't want to continue to compromise and continue to hide his capabilities and bide his time.

It was only after he took over Takeda Saito's family business that he discovered that PiCheng Capital accounted for too much of the comprador's group shares.

If he accedes to the request of the Piltover chaebol, returns the huge amount of shares and assets, and then acknowledges the various unequal trade treaties that Takeda Saito and Piltover signed in the past...

Most of the profits generated by the leader's future construction of Zaun will be taken by the Picheng guy.

"We do have money now, but Zaun is full of waste and needs us to spend money in many places."

"If I admit that unequal trade treaty and hand all the profits to the Piltovers - how can we have the money to vigorously support Zaun's industrial development, build Zaun's infrastructure, and improve the lives of Zaun people? level?"

"Furthermore, Mel, you also know that the Piltover people have always had systematic national oppression of the Zaun people, and the contradiction between the two is deep."

"Our movement in Zaun will largely need to channel and capitalize on this nationalist sentiment."

"If everyone knows that we, like Takeda Saito in the past, are secretly helping Piltover absorb the blood of the Zaun people, it will probably have a very bad impact on the spread of Janna's faith."

Levi listed a series of reasons. These reasons are also very powerful.

Anyway, his opinion was: "We need to clean the house before we treat."

Mel listened thoughtfully and nodded in agreement frequently.

But she was still hesitant: "If you refuse to return the shares, it may mean war for the Piltover Conglomerate."

"Also, the Piltover Council's weekly meeting will be held tomorrow."

"They will definitely discuss this at their regular meeting."

As he spoke, Mel also specifically added: "I heard that the Gray Lady of the Philos family also rarely expressed her intention to attend the parliamentary discussion this time - it seems that she can no longer sit still."

"Camille?" Levi was also a little concerned.

The Philos family was the first Piltover plutocrat to show hostility to the Wind Leader.

Through the "insurance contract" secretly reached with Stevan, he had temporarily stabilized the Philos family.

But Camille's voluntary public appearance this time seems to indicate that the Philos force she represents that opposes the Wind Leader can no longer suppress even the head of the family, Stevan.

I don’t know how well prepared Stevan is. Is the plan to kill his sister still in progress?

"Don't be afraid." Levi was still quite optimistic.

"Comrade Mel, you also know that Zaun is almost completely under our control."

The three strongest forces in Zaun are Silko, Lenata, and Takeda Saito. The remaining alchemy barons, large and small, are obviously inferior to them.

Now the Wind Leader Association has swallowed up Takeda Saito in one go, and has "built the core" in a short period of time, completing the digestion, absorption, integration and control of its territory.

The other two, Hilko and Renata, are still fighting against the Wind Leader Association on the surface, but in fact they are either secretly cooperating with the Wind Leader, or they are secretly controlled by the Wind Leader.

"Even if the Philos family takes action, with our current strength, we don't actually have to fear Piltover anymore."

"What we really need to worry about is what Mel you mentioned, the various Noxian forces behind the Piltover Conglomerate."

"But Noxus, to put it harshly..."

Levi looked at Mel, who was born in Noxus, embarrassedly:

"Noxus is a mad dog now."

"If they are persuaded by the plutocrats in Piltover and want to go crazy and bite people, how can we avoid being bitten by keeping a low profile and bowing our heads?"

Mel heard a moment of silence.

She knows Noxus very well.

Levi was right, Noxus is now a mad dog that bites everyone it sees.

If we continue to "hide our capabilities and bide our time", can we still beat Ionia? Ionia, sitting at home eating hot pot and singing songs, got bitten while doing nothing.

So if you want to avoid being bitten by a dog, it is useless to give in.

You have to raise your fists and show your muscles to let the dog know that you are too strong for him to bite.

"But we are not yet capable of dealing with Noxus." Mel was worried.

"But we can show that we can deal with it." Levi said: "Don't forget, the goddess Janna is real."

"And no one knows that the goddess Janna is no longer in the mortal world."

In fact, Levi has already used the "strategic intimidation" trick.

He has never told anyone the truth that Goddess Janna is just a "waste bird".

The explanations he and his close comrades like Mel and Victor, and even his own sister, gave were:

"Goddess Janna is currently traveling in the universe and cannot return to the mortal world yet."

Although Janna herself doubted how she could travel the universe.

However, the goddess Janna has not appeared in the mortal world for many years, and there has never been a battle record. It is difficult to make a specific comparison of combat power.

As a result, in today's era, almost no one in the world knows Janna's true strength.

So Li Wei blew to the sky with confidence.

In everyone's impression, Janna is still the terrifying existence that could hold up an ocean with storms 200 years ago.

Those who have this wrong information naturally include the Piltover Conglomerate and the Noxian forces behind them.

"This..." Mel was slightly startled.

"You mean..." she asked thoughtfully: "Change your thinking, show your strength, and use force to scare the enemy?"

"That's right." Levi nodded with a smile.

"But isn't the goddess herself still in the void plane and won't be able to come back for a while?" Mel asked.

"It's just acting, why do we need the goddess herself? Let's show our hands a little bit, and they will figure out the rest by themselves."

As he said that, Levi looked at Mel subtly: "Comrade Mel, is tomorrow the weekly meeting of the Parliament?"

"Yeah." Mel nodded without knowing why.

"How are your acting skills?"

"I..." Mel seemed to understand.

As a business elite, her acting skills are of course perfect.

But her strength is not good enough.

"Mr. Levi, do you want me to come?" Mel spread his palms and used magic to summon a weak wind.

This wind... to put it harshly, is it enough to do anything?

Who can be scared?

"It's okay." Levi smiled and stretched out his hand, slowly took off the cute blue bird standing on his shoulder, and held it firmly in his palm.

"This is...the blue bird incarnation of the goddess?"

Mel knew that the goddess Janna could transform into countless bluebird incarnations.

Believers only need to use divine power to summon the blue bird that represents Janna's will.

Take the Leader Patrol, for example. Almost every squad of them is now equipped with a "Blue Bird Radio".

"However, this incarnation of the blue bird seems to have only symbolic meaning, and it does not have much fighting power, right?" Miss Meyer questioned.

"No, she's different."

"Incarnation and the power of incarnation cannot be generalized."

Janna gave her summoner a dissatisfied peck.

Levi handed the blue bird Janna to Mel's hand and continued to talk nonsense without changing his expression:

"My 'blue bird incarnation' was specially matched for me by the goddess Janna——"

"Great energy."
