"I heard Commander Hawthorne and Councilman Gordon never got along. They often argued over political matters, and there were even rumors they got physical!"
"Is it true they were on good terms?"
"What do you know? Now that Commander Hawthorne is dead, even if they weren't on good terms, no one would admit it!"
"But now the Hawthorne Family's assets are going to fall into Councilman Gordon's hands. Do you think Commander Hawthorne will rest in peace knowing this?"
These people were deliberately arranged by Jared Quinn, with the aim of revealing Weston Hawthorne's discord with Councilman Gordon before he died.
The discussions in the crowd grew increasingly unpleasant, and Councilman Gordon wished he could kill them all as he strode towards the podium.
"I heard everything everyone just said. Although Weston Hawthorne and I had political differences and occasional misunderstandings, it wasn't as exaggerated as everyone claims. Privately, we were on decent terms!"
