Politics is, by nature, the art of compromise.
If we can reach a result that satisfies everyone, then that would, of course, be the best outcome.
Therefore, upon realizing that trading with Qiu Tu could indeed bring greater benefits, the vice chairmen all changed their minds as well.
Vice Chairman Baron's emerald eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke slowly, "If our 'Order Faction' can indeed be re-elected, then I think making a deal with Qiu Tu is also acceptable."
"After all, this would be a triple-win transaction."
"However..." He paused at this point, glanced at everyone present, and reminded them, "We absolutely cannot compromise on our core interests."
"Even though this deal is being made between the Third Shelter and Qiu Tu, the only party from the Third Shelter actually paying a price is us. That is, the Heavenly God 'Candle Dance.'"
"This will weaken our strength in the short term, potentially making it impossible for us to suppress the other factions."
