Or else, like now, you're just giving yourself away. And I know your weak point and can further exploit it whenever I deem necessary.
Also, know who's important and who's not. That should be your first priority: knowing who to manipulate. Or, like now, I will say: Sir Gar told you that? I don't even know who that is, but they obviously doesn't know how it really works around here. Your business is our business. We don't want the liability of wild cards.
