This incident was a crisis, but also an opportunity, a chance to stabilize the pinnacle of power in Golden Port City!
Councilman Williams quickly left, and after he left, Alberto asked Lance, "What were you just talking about?"
Lance glanced in Paul's direction who also happened to be looking over. Including nodding with a smile as a greeting, Lance responded, "Nothing much, just discussing some unspeakable secrets, but you'll know soon enough."
Alberto didn't insist. He knew if Lance said he couldn't talk about it, there must be a reason why.
After a brief embrace and exchanging words of farewell, they hurriedly parted ways.
Paul asked Alberto what Lance and Councilman Williams had discussed in the room, but Alberto said nothing. He could only pretend it was a casual question and moved past the topic.
On the way back, Lance lit a cigarette, "I remember we still have two undercovers there, right?"
