The common people's house had no dedicated living room or study for conversations, so Camille hurriedly cleared the still-untidy dining table to use as a meeting point.
Shire glanced at Gallieni. He was a person who didn't care much about his appearance; his glasses sat unevenly on his nose, his white mustache was unkempt, and his suit didn't fit well. He looked like a disheveled and frail old man, hard to imagine he was France's most militarily talented general.
Before Shire and Dejoka could speak, Gallieni preemptively said, "You must be wondering why I want to talk to you in secret, right?"
Dejoka nodded, but Shire remained calm.
Gallieni was somewhat surprised by Shire's reaction. He asked, "Have you already guessed?"
"You don't want those capitalists controlling the Senate to know!" Shire replied.
