A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

Chapter 221 165. Cooperation reached
"The purpose of the strike, in my plan, was just to give us a voice once everything was done, so that the people in power would know how to stop it," Mr. Fortes continued.

"And the real outcome will be decided before the strike."

"You mean..." Levi couldn't help but ask questions.

"I was going to kill Harrison," Fortes replied bluntly.

……

Killing Harrison made sense, as a group of enslaved workers wanted to hang the culprit capitalist, which is what they did in Suno.

But the problem is that this is the United States, the pinnacle of capitalist development, a country controlled by groups, chambers of commerce, and capitalists. Here Fords and the others must consider how to get such a country to allow them after killing Harrison. The presence.

However, Levi did not make a sound. He rubbed his chin and motioned for Mr. Fortes to continue. The other person was not a reckless man who spoke without thinking. Since he planned to do this, he must have thought up a complete plan.

"To be precise, it was not me who killed him, but Gray, who killed him in the name of 'Ely the Butcher'." Fortes continued to say slowly.

"Since Butcher Eli has already gained a reputation, and Gray's witchcraft is exactly the same as Butcher Eli, then when she kills Harrison, the outside world will think that it was Butcher Eli who killed Harrison."

Levi opened his mouth in surprise: "Does Miss Yili agree?"

Levi glanced at her. Gray's expression was calm. He used the Eye of True Sight to peer inside. The ball of light representing the soul also had no ripples, with only a ray of light blue hovering above it.

"Besides, I have wanted to leave the United States for a long time, and it is not that painful for me not to be able to stay here."

"It would be better to say that this is the plan I proposed." Gray looked over and said, "This is the simplest and most thorough method, and there will not be much risk to anyone except me."

"It is impossible for a notorious murderer to be enthusiastic about the cause of improving the lives of workers. Although it is cruel to say so, we can easily distance ourselves from her by then, and then 'coincidentally' after Harrison's death, Lausanne When the political situation in the capital was in chaos, a strike was launched."

"Because in fact, the Lausanne Metropolitan Government does not want steel companies to take root in this city." Mr. Fortes looked out the window.

"At this point, the Lausanne Metropolitan Government, which has lost UPI, has only one choice left, which is to agree to our request. Even if we don't take the initiative to mention it, they will automatically show that they care about the working class and Continue to drum up votes this way.”

After finishing speaking, Ford paused, looked at Gray, and spoke again: "After all this, we will arrange a ship to take Gray to Toltec or Lafite and let her stay there for a few years. Stay out of the limelight and wait until this is over before returning to Phoenix."

"But, Mr. Fortes, Harrison is just a person in charge, and the headquarters of United Steel is not here. How can you think that after killing Harrison, they will not send a second Harrison?"

"You should know the characteristics of this city."

Levi recalled it in his mind and remembered what Field had said to him.

"Movies and music?"

"Yes, for the city government, the emerging product called movies obviously has more investment potential than steel, which has shown signs of weakness after the World War. What's even worse is that the production of steel will also pollute the environment here. This will Lowering the film value of Lausanne." Mr. Fortes said, "It's just that due to the influence of Hezhong Steel, the Lausanne Metropolitan Government has been unable to take initiative." "That's it..." Levi suddenly understood Mr. Fortes. It means that everything they did before was to confuse the public, and the real purpose was always to kill Harrison.

And the strike just gives everyone a step up.

"So you said the plan is going to change, what are you going to do next?" Levi asked.

"Roughly the same as before, Harrison must die. As long as he is alive, United Steel can find a way to clear his name." Fortes said, "It's just that I hope that you can try to prove that it is the case as a BOI investigator. 'Ely the Butcher' killed Harrison, and at the same time found the out-of-control Gray stand-in that Harrison had raised, Eli the Butcher, as evidence."

"You mean." Levi thought for a while, "You still let Gray get rid of him, but put the blame on a monster to save Gray from being wanted?"

"But we already know that 'Angel' and 'Butcher' are related. Even if I can get my teammates to separate them and look at them, the things Miss Erie did before cannot be covered up."

"In any case, this is at least better than letting Gray bear the identity of Eli the Butcher and the Angel at the same time." Fortes shook his head and said, "And it can also block the cooperation after confirming that his death was self-inflicted. The mouth of Zhongsteel tells them to stop here and stop using the topic. Raising monsters privately will involve the BOI's territory. You should know that even the president in the United States does not dare to easily confront your bosses."

“The city government will pay less Philippine dollars as a result, and maybe it will be easier for us to negotiate terms with them.”

"I understand." Levi smiled, "You recruiting me should be considered... the icing on the cake? This is a Siris saying."

"I can probably understand the meaning. We really don't want only blood to be left on this piece of silk." Fortes raised his right hand and reached out to Levi.

"Pleasant to work with."

"It's a pleasure to cooperate. Now we are comrades." Levi smiled, stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and then looked at Gray, "And you, Miss Eli."

"Just call me Gray." Gray said softly with her hair moving slightly.

After doing all this, Mr. Fortes pushed open the glass grille door of the balcony. At this time, the sunlight outside the window had not weakened, and the voices of the children reading words that Levi and the others heard before were still noisy.

As the sun shone in, he looked at the building opposite and smiled slightly.

"Now that work is over, do you want to talk about something relaxing?"

"Good suggestion. I'm curious about how you built a school here. According to Miss Gray, the former Dog Street was a warm nest that breeds evil." Levi stood up and walked to the balcony with a smile. side.

"Ha, most of these are due to Gray. Before I came, she was already thinking of ways to change this place." Mr. Fortes recalled looking out of the balcony.

"As for me, I can only try my best to be a teacher full of loopholes."
