Just as Ves anticipated, public opinion completely turned around after the dramatic press conference.
A day later, Gavin reported the good news.
"I knew you would turn our situation somehow." He lavished his superior with praise. "Even though you're called the Devil Tongue, it still surprises me how receptive the public can be towards your speeches. No matter if they are aware of your moniker, they still think that you are completely sincere when you address the public."
Ves threw a pointed look at his assistant. "I am always sincere, Benny. That's part of my charm."
