There wasn't enough time. With so little time left, there was no way to secure the support of any of the five great nations.
Cheadle quietly listened to their conversation. Her anger had already faded, and she stiffly sat back down.
She sighed silently, her thoughts a tangled mess.
Unless I hand my copy of the [Agreement] over to him, Dio definitely won't have time to obtain [Support]-
Though I don't know why, if he insists on becoming Vice-Chairman, at least he'd be better than Pariston.
Cheadle began seriously considering what Dio had said.
