Bandit Gathering(4)
For a few seconds after Daneel made this statement, only silence could be heard from the thousands who were in attendance.
Then, a menacing growl brought everyone back to their senses.
"You m*****f*cker! Stop spouting bullsh*t! Noone's dumb enough here to believe everything you say! Everyone, there isn't a smidgen of truth in what this guy is saying! Don't believe him! I'm not willing to share leadership with him, either!"
At this point, the main problem with a Gathering that was being out in this fashion was displayed.
Because only audio was available to the thousands of bandits, they had only the voices and tones of those speaking to study and judge on before making decisions.
A claim so absurd…would definitely have been thrown out the window, normally, if it was brought up by any bandit.
Yet…Daneel wasn't basing this on nothing.
