In Golden Port City, very few locals have attended Councilman Williams's dinner; even the Mayor has never been.
Lance is well aware of William's intentions in bringing him, and Councilman Williams is also willing to partake in a certain degree of cooperation with William.
After all, there are only eleven councilors in the city; gathering more allies would enhance their power in opposing the Bay Area.
The Bay Area isn't easy to deal with; otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to cooperate with Lance. When these people control one-fifth or even one-third of the jobs of the city's residents, things become even trickier.
Fortunately, Lance will assist him.
At the dinner table, Lance saw Councilman Williams's current wife.
The term "current" placed before "wife" carries a rather particular flavor. Nevertheless, most men are like this; their tastes generally remain fixed.
