Leo listened quietly, disappreciating Cass Langton, who thought that even without him, with the power of Jason's current president of the porters' union, coupled with the Nelsons' position in Port Set, it would be enough to easily solve Cass Langton's threat.

Despite this, Leo asked briefly and said, "Do you need me to help you solve this problem?"

"No, no, it's just a minor nuisance. Lisa quickly shook her head, rejecting Leo's offer.

Since she got along with Jason, she had heard all kinds of deeds about Leo from Jason more than once, and knew that Leo was a person with special skills, just like some of the weirdos she had encountered in her tavern, but she didn't think that Leo could solve Jason's current troubles very well.

In her opinion, Leo's solution to the problem is to solve the troublemaker, but it is not the best way to solve Cass Runte, but it will cause Jason a lot of trouble to become the manager of the large freight terminal.

Because now almost everyone who cares knows that Cass Runt is now looking for trouble with Jason and is ready to kick out what he thinks is the weakest candidate on the list, and what happened to Cass Runt at this time will definitely be considered Jason's doing.

While this doesn't necessarily disqualify Jason from being a candidate, it certainly does affect the perception of decision-makers, as no city manager likes to see a subordinate use such drastic tactics to solve their competitors.

Leo easily saw through Lisa's thoughts, and he didn't have the idea of explaining, just smiled indifferently.

Perhaps because she thought that her refusal was too direct, Lisa felt that Leo would be displeased by this, so she asked Leo about his current situation in a wordless manner, so as to alleviate the somewhat dull atmosphere in the room.

In this regard, Leo did not think about alleviating the atmosphere, and always answered Lisa's inquiries very simply, which made the atmosphere even more dull and even a little embarrassing.

"I'll go see if he's here. In the end, Lisa could no longer find a suitable topic to talk to, so she stood up, made a casual excuse, and hurried out of the room, leaving only her two men in the room that embarrassed her.

Leo didn't say anything, sat down calmly in his chair, looked at the furnishings in the room, and his eyes fell on the newspaper shelf next to his desk, so he got up and took a few newspapers and flipped through them.

As one of the largest port cities in the Kingdom of England, Port Set is the city with the most contact with the outside world, and it is also the city where foreigners settle the most and come and go, and a large number of foreign businessmen come to Port Set every day and leave Port Set, so as a world-class port city, the city newspaper naturally appears to be diverse, the same newspaper, there are English, French, Sigma and other versions of different world languages, and each version records different contents, involving all kinds of things in almost all countries of the world.

For example, Leo read from a newspaper that there was a workers' riot in the Mares Kingdom half a month ago, which affected the entire Maris Kingdom and had a great impact on the kingdom's industry, and what was worse was that the Mares Kingdom was not able to quell the rebellion in the first place, so that the rebellion gradually expanded, and batches of workers' armed forces had been formed.

The Mares Kingdom is the largest industrial kingdom in the world of Veron, and the latest steam engines are all produced and manufactured by the Mares Kingdom, and the workers can be said to be the cornerstone of this country, but the status of the workers in the Mares Kingdom is not high, and it can even be said that it is very low, and some of them are not even as good as the private serfs of some noble lords.

Every day, the workers will do far more heavy work than ordinary people, live in small and dirty places, eat even moldy and expired things, the emotions of the entire group of workers have been accumulated to the limit, like a volcano that will erupt at any time, just waiting for a crack to appear on the top of their heads, and this workers' riot is the best opportunity to detonate the entire group of workers in the kingdom of Mares.

For the ordinary people of Port Set, they only see the chaos in the Mares Kingdom, just like reading a book, and forget about it after reading it, and they will not pay too much attention to what is happening in the Mares Kingdom, after all, the Mares Kingdom is too far away from the Inge Kingdom.

For merchants, the chaos in the Mares Kingdom has made them see various business opportunities, because as the largest industrial kingdom in Vilon, the workers' rebellion means that the factories are suspended, so that the demand for various industrial products related to the Mares Kingdom will inevitably exceed the supply, and the prices will definitely skyrocket, so they will all think of hoarding a sum of goods immediately, waiting for the price to rise to the top, and make a fortune.

And the war merchants among the merchants will become even more excited because of this news, because now the Maris Kingdom will inevitably fall into war, all strategic materials, whether it is medicines or weapons, are profiteering commodities, they are already gearing up, ready to scrape a hard blow from the warring sides of the Mares Kingdom.

Those who are not satisfied with the peaceful world will be glad to see this news, and they will gather around the war, fight for their own ideas, and also use war to gain money and power.

However, after Leo saw the news, he had a very subtle feeling that although the workers' riots seemed to erupt suddenly, the aftermath of the workers' riots seemed to be guided by a pair of big hands to guide things in a direction that was getting out of control.

For example, the riots began when a worker died unexpectedly at work, and a workers' mutual aid group demanded some pensions from the factory owner on behalf of the worker, but the factory owner refused the group's request and had the factory security guard drive away the workers and other onlookers, causing conflict.

It stands to reason that such a conflict would not cause much chaos, because the factory owners of the Kingdom of Mares have a lot of experience in dealing with such things, and they only need to buy off the leader of the workers' mutual aid organization, and then get rid of some of the people who are making trouble among the workers, and the turmoil will quickly subside.

But there was an accident that night, the factory owner was attacked at home by masked workers, including the factory owner's family, the family's bodyguards and servants, more than 30 people were killed, and the factory owner's family was subjected to very cruel abuse before his death.

If the deceased had been just an ordinary factory owner, the local town hall would arrest some of the workers who had set up the trouble, and whether they were guilty or not, they would be judged guilty and executed, suppressing the workers' will to resist.

But the problem is that the owner of the factory is still a member of the municipal council, and his wife, who is one of the deceased, is the daughter of a great nobleman of the kingdom of Mares, so the matter becomes a little different.

The city hall sent the army and the police to arrest all the workers of the factory without any purpose, whether the workers were guilty or not, and selected more than 100 of the most prestigious workers, and quickly tried and sentenced them to death, and the other workers were sentenced to mining in the mines, which was even more cruel than the death penalty directly.

When this sentence was handed down, the workers of the whole city were enraged, and then several prominent workers raised their arms and led the workers in raiding the city's arsenal and barracks, quickly armed, stormed the prison, and rescued the imprisoned workers.

Originally, the workers' leaders were prepared to stop there, negotiate with the factory owners who had formed, and then decide 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, and their success seemed to other wait-and-see workers' organizations as if they saw an opportunity. Ravaged and finally killed, not only the factory owners but also the ordinary merchants in the whole city were not spared, so all retreats were blocked by this out-of-control riot.

The most strange thing is that the news of the workers' revolt spread throughout the Maris Kingdom in a short period of time even though the news was blocked by the Mares Kingdom, and finally turned a small riot in a city into a big riot enough to subvert a world power.

When Leo read this report, he already had in mind that there was someone behind this matter, and he also thought of the two people or countries that were most likely to do it, the French Empire and the United Kingdom of France, Louis X and Rupert Fitz.

With the split of the French Empire, the crown of the first land power that has been worn on the head of the French Empire for many years has been crumbling, although the army of the French Empire has not suffered much loss because of the split, and still has a strong army, but without the support of merchants and industries in West France, the French Empire has been unable to support such a huge army military expenditure, and there have been voices within the French Empire to reduce the army and reduce the financial burden.

There is no doubt that once the French Empire dismantles the army, then the crown of the first land power will definitely be transferred to other countries, and among the more than 20 large and small countries in the world of Veron, the most likely to bear this crown is the industrial power Maris Kingdom.

Therefore, the French Empire is definitely the country that is most willing to see the Kingdom of Mares fall into turmoil, and will do something to make the Kingdom of Mares fall into turmoil, such a turmoil is enough to shake the foundation of the Kingdom of Maris whether it succeeds or not, and the surrounding countries will also take this opportunity to weaken the Kingdom of Mares, and the final result will only be that the Kingdom of Mares will withdraw from the list of great powers, and it is no longer qualified to bear the title of the first power on land.

As for Rupert Fitz, there are enough reasons to manipulate this matter, a long time ago, Rupert Fitz had planned to let the workers' organization he secretly controlled enter the kingdom of Mares, but the result ended in failure, and the entire power layer of the kingdom of Mares, even those who accepted Rupert Fitz's bribes, all opposed this matter, which made the world's largest workers' kingdom have no unified and complete workers' organization, only some workers' mutual aid associations limited to a certain factory.

This incident has always been recorded by Rupert Fitz, and has been mentioned from time to time in some public occasions, taking the opportunity to show concern for the poor treatment of the workers in the Maris Kingdom, and from time to time mocking the Maris Kingdom as a mutant slave country.

It is also because of some of Rupert Fitz's excessive words, which also made some factory owners and nobles of the Maris Kingdom, with the tacit consent of the state, use some extraordinary means to deal with Rupert Fitz, including an assassination, and even almost killed Rupert Fitz, so Rupert Fitz and the magnates of the Maris Kingdom can be said to be mortal enemies, and they will never let go once they have the opportunity to deal with the Maris Kingdom.

Judging from the timing of the riots in various parts of the Mares Kingdom, it is clear that there is a connection between them and that they have planned in advance, and judging from the history of their riots, they are all purposefully attacking arsenals, barracks and police stations, controlling the violent organizations and weapons of the entire city, and then taking over the entire city, with the same methods, there is no doubt that there must be a big force in the shadows.

Being able to have a very strong influence among the workers, and quietly establish an underground force that extends to the entire kingdom of Mares, it is almost impossible for anyone else in the entire world of Velen to do it except Rupert Fitz.

Leo is not interested in where the Maris Kingdom will go because of the labor movement, he is concerned about what adverse effects the chaos in the Maris Kingdom will have on the old man Rembrandt, because in addition to his own funds, the old man Rembrandt's expedition into the wasteland of the Moisan continent has several main sponsors, all of whom are from the Kingdom of Mares, and even most of the members of the adventure team and bodyguards are from the Kingdom of Mares.

Now the news of the turmoil in the Kingdom of Maris may not have reached such a remote place in the depths of the Moissanite Continent, but this news will reach there sooner or later, and there will definitely be some chaos in the expedition at that time, and the old man Rembrandt will be more or less affected, and if those adventurers and treasure hunters who are interested in the contents of the monuments take the opportunity to make trouble, the old man Rembrandt may encounter some dangers.

It's just that thinking of the old man Rembrandt, Leo couldn't help but look at the feather in his storage space, he didn't like the feeling of debt, so that he had another impulse to go to the Moisan continent, find the old man Rembrandt, give him the feather, and settle the debt, but in the end he still endured this impulsive emotion, followed the original choice, and stayed in Port Set to rest for a while.

Just when Leo was looking at the newspaper in his hand, a rush and heavy footsteps came from outside the door, and then the door of the office was rudely pushed open, Jason's huge body appeared at the door, and the bearded and majestic he showed a childlike smile after seeing Leo, strode forward, hugged Leo hard, laughed and said: "I know, I know you'll be fine!"
