Chapter 389 Griffiths' Hostility
```
After the morning's Round Table Hall meeting ended, the ministers simply had a quick lunch before secretly gathering again.
This was not an official Privy Council meeting.
Publicly, they all belonged to the ancient "Chocolate Club," united by their love for chocolate. But in reality, this was a small meeting of only a dozen or so ministers, including the Prime Minister and Trade Minister.
Before and after the Round Table Hall meetings, those knights with common interests or good relations would gather to align their thoughts and suggestions to avoid conflicts at the Round Table meetings.
Although not as divided into two clearly opposing factions like the Irisflower People, they were indeed forming cliques.
The difference was that these knights were well aware that theirs was not the only such small meeting. At this moment, knights surprised by what they had seen and heard must have been clustering in groups, discussing matters among themselves.
