A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

Chapter 220 164. Spearhead
It looked like a door similar to any other room in the building. The green paint had peeled off, making it look like a door in an honest residential building.

"Do I need to knock on the door?" Levi asked sideways.

"No, let's just go in." Gray said and opened the door. The door bolt turned and made a sour sound.

Different from the dim light in the corridor, after opening the door, Levi saw bright light coming in front of him. It took his eyes a few seconds to adapt before he could clearly see what was in the room.

There is a simple desk with these things stacked on it. There are two large cabinets opposite the desk. The door at the bottom of the cabinet is open. Inside are not file bags and confidential documents, but deflated footballs, basketballs and Stacked poles and barricades. There is a bicycle leaning against the wall.

On one side is a balcony with a glass grille door. Sunlight shines in through the glass lattice of the grille door, wrapping half of the room in air with floating golden edges.

Behind the desk, Mr. Fortes, wearing his usual dark blue pilled woolen sweater and jacket, was holding a pen and writing something.

"Oh, Mr. Li, please sit down." Fortes saw Levi coming in, capped his pen, stood up and stretched out his hand, "Gray, you too."

"I'll just stand, sir." Gray leaned against the door as always.

Levi was not polite. He glanced at Mr. Fortes, pulled over a round stool, and sat down.

"why?"

"There I feel a greater sense of crisis, but here I can't help but be content in this fragile bubble." Mr. Fortes said, taking out a pack of Mangy Dog cigarettes from his pocket.

"Do you need one?"

"No, on the contrary, I have a good impression of this place." Levi crossed his fingers and raised his head, "What are you writing? It doesn't look like a document."

Fords said in a relaxed tone: "The bookcase contains the children's old rubber balls. Recently we bought some new ones, and these ones that are almost broken are placed here... That bicycle is my favorite car, and the name is Called Pegasus."

"When you have time, please correct the children's homework. It's mathematics. Only me, Miss Kagome and Gompers know equations here. Unfortunately, Gompers is not very interested in this place, and Miss Kagome has too many things to do. , we can’t leave everything to her to change.”

"Perhaps this will make it appear that we are a bit pompous, but at least it can show us that we are not the real us in the newspaper." Mr. Fortes put down his pen and waved his hand in front of him. "The environment is a bit simple, but this It’s our daily environment...you don’t seem to mind?”

"Is this your office?" Levi asked.

"Sorry, I don't smoke...really." Levi politely refused.

"Perhaps I should say good afternoon, sir, Miss Eli took me a long way." Levi joked with a smile, but there was no malice in his eyes.

"Yes, but I prefer to stay in the pub." Mr. Fortes nodded.

"I understand." Mr. Fortes didn't say what he understood. He picked up a match and lit it. Gray naturally helped him open the glass grille door to let in the outdoor air.

"Miss Gray should have taken you around, right? What have you done?"

"Helping Mrs. Kalai dry the clothes, helping Mr. Schultz carry the goods, and helping Granny Sid sweep the fallen leaves at the door." Levi sighed deliberately, "I thought I was not here to be a volunteer at first." Haha." A rare smile appeared on Mr. Fortes' profound face, "Are you influenced by Gray? You are becoming more and more like one of us."

After hearing this, Gray opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Levi raised his hand to stop her.

"Broadly speaking, my views are closer to Mr. Gompers, at least I think..." Levi circled his fingers.

"A good doctor will think about his patients, but in the process, his actions will also bring him good benefits."

"I sincerely want to be promoted within the BOI, because if I find out that the person in charge of Hezhong Steel is related to the wizarding world, I will receive extremely high merit; at the same time, I sincerely hope that you can pull Harrison down. Because I am a Serisian, no one understands better than me what will happen to tens of thousands of workers in Lausanne when he takes control of their lives," Levi said.

"So, at least for today, we can be a trusting alliance."

Fords thought about it for two seconds and nodded his cigarette: "In this case, the second half of the question I originally planned to ask, 'What are the benefits to you of helping us?' It seems there is no need to ask."

"I think we can trust you, and I can see that unlike other police officers, federal agents, or gunmen, you are motivated by something other than Philippine dollars."

"We will help you, but you have to understand... In addition to me, there is another person in the association who has the right to speak, that is Gompers, and he has always disagreed with my approach."

"So there aren't many people here who can really help us."

"Yeah, I understand." Levi said, "Will Mr. Gompers stop us?"

"Of course, and I can't tie him up. But we can avoid him. There are no wizards around him, so it's not difficult not to be affected by him." Fords said, then turned to look at Gray.

"Miss Grey, we have to change our previous plan."

"Previous plan?" Levi caught a suspicious word in confusion, "Don't you hope to create chaos and take the opportunity to strike?"

"Yes, but not all." Mr. Fortes put out his cigarette and looked at Levi.

"Gompers has repeatedly emphasized to me that the power of workers is still extremely weak. Due to the lack of financial resources - even if I find a way to get some, it is still not enough. This will cause our purpose of interrupting the operation of society to be unachievable, just like a wooden The stick tries to jam the running gears, but in the end it will only be broken by the force of the machine.”

"Then, we have only two ways, either to harden the stick, but this is impossible in a short time...or to block the source of the machine's power." Fortes explained calmly.

"In Lausanne, the government does not resist our demands. What they want is votes. They will support anyone who can give them votes."

"To this day, United Steel is their largest vote bank. I think everyone already knows too much about how United Steel manipulates votes, and there is no need to waste time on it."

"Then since only United Steel is firmly opposed to the strike in Lausanne, we will target them."
