The mayor of Valley City deliberated for a long time to ensure his plan was flawless.
After confirming that his plan would at least succeed in its initial stages, the mayor finally began to take action.
The first part of his plan was, of course, to figure out a way to get Jeremy to target Kean's subordinates.
He started by seeking out Kean's subordinate.
When the mayor approached him, Kean's subordinate was still visibly furious. He didn't even bother to look directly at the mayor.
"Are you still upset with me? Do you honestly think there's anything wrong with what I said?" the mayor asked, his tone slightly casual.
"Of course, there's nothing wrong with what you said. How could someone as clever as you possibly say anything wrong?" Kean's subordinate replied, his tone laced with sarcasm.
Though his words seemed to agree with the mayor, in reality, they were mocking him.
