Francisco did not oppose this teaching method, and indeed, he couldn't do without Alberto now, and he was growing rapidly.
Sarif clearly understood this too, so from the beginning, he never considered consulting Francisco's opinion, instead directly focused on Alberto.
He hoped Alberto could persuade Lance; he wanted to take out Rick, but he didn't want to provoke Bandy.
Alberto turned to look at Lance, and the two exchanged a glance, "Let's deal with Rick first, then consider other matters."
"It's too early to discuss these things now, we haven't even dealt with Rick yet!" The first half of the sentence was directed at Lance, the second half at Sarif.
Neither of them raised any objections, and the matter was basically decided this way.
What followed was a discussion on how to deal with Rick. Sarif was quite familiar with Rick; after fighting for so long, if he wasn't familiar, he'd be done for.
