"You're right. When Chief Inspector David arrives later, I think you should take the lead, Mr. Beisemai!"
"Agreed."
"I concur..."
Charlie's words had the representatives of the other major families nodding in agreement.
"No no no... In the realm of finance, your family has more say, Charlie. I think it would be most prudent for you to take the lead."
Mr. Beisemai continuously waved his hands in refusal.
He wasn't a fool; considering David's personality, messing with the Federal Reserve was very much a possibility.
And if he were to raise this issue now, what if it irritated David? What then?
He certainly did not want to engage in anything that might provoke bad luck.
"Mr. Beisemai, you brought up the idea. Shouldn't you be the one to lead the discussion?"
Charlie was also unwilling and hurriedly declined.
Thus, a back-and-forth ensued among the representatives of the major families, but they still couldn't reach a conclusion after a long while.
