Chapter 152: Business Ideas, Trial Results, and Thousands of People

"We're friends!" Lance reaffirmed this view, "Friends should help each other out!"

Vaughn nodded in agreement, "Yes, friends should help each other out." He paused and appraised Lance seriously, who generously presented himself.

"You seem somewhat different from before, there's a change, Lance, I don't know how to put it..." A storm was forming in Vaughn's mind, wildly stirring his thoughts, "it's like... you're more noticeable than before, more confident, more..."

His hands made some emotionally progressive gestures, "in short, you're better than before!"

Lance, however, accepted the comment quite calmly, "Because we've all grown."

He leaned back on the couch. Once Vaughn had the money, he didn't need to add that kind of pressure to the atmosphere.

This was an important watershed in social interaction. If, after someone complied with your pressure, you keep applying it, they would question the validity of their compliance and doubt their actions.
