Chapter 1002: Chapter 617, Gradually Calming Down
After “Palmer” turned around and walked away, members of the Lower House finally reacted.
The seats below suddenly erupted with noise.
Everyone started discussing.
“What does this mean? A new nomination?”
“Isn’t it that within three years, re-nomination to the Upper House isn’t permitted?”
“What exactly did Rebecca do to make Dordy and the others compromise?”
...
“Surely, Rebecca used the Upper House as a bargaining chip, after all, they still need her for the Blood Clan’s affairs.”
“Finding Rebecca, good, good.”
“Rebecca is too arrogant, even if it’s a second review, she sent a representative, and she didn’t even show up.”
“Indeed, Rebecca is really too much, entering the Upper House and she didn’t even show up.”
“Women are women, acting on impulse.”
The attendees, not necessarily the sharpest humans, but the rules of the whole council are very clear to them.
Nominating the Upper House again within a day.
Even without any news coming down, everyone realized the issue.
The five giants of the Upper House silently acknowledged Lyss City’s entry to the Upper House.
Otherwise, there definitely wouldn’t have been a second vote.
Members of the Lower House discussed quietly.
Although they could comprehend the intricacies, Rebecca herself wasn’t present.
The representative spoke less than 20 words, and this attitude was still somewhat unpleasant to see.
After all, you should show up and say a few words.
Facing the discussion below.
The people of the Upper House were much calmer.
Thinking to themselves, you feel it’s too much because she isn’t present?
In the morning, Rebecca almost fought to the death with Dordy, and now she was already giving face by sending a representative.
Dordy tapped the table lightly, signaling everyone to quiet down, “Okay, let’s start voting.”
The lawmakers looked at each other.
None of them were fools; they knew how they should vote.
All the lawmakers lined up and cast their votes at the ballot box.
Soon, the voting ended.
Dordy glanced quickly, then announced, “Okay, the results are in, 274 votes in favor, 15 abstentions, the Lower House has passed it.”
Putting the results aside, Dordy continued, “Does anyone in the Upper House object?”
Instead of taking a vote, he directly asked.
No one from above responded.
Dordy announced directly, “Alright, I now declare that Lyss City is officially entering the Upper House through the council election, effective immediately with the rights of the Upper House. A new seat will be custom-made, for now, use the previous seat.”
Lawmaker “Palmer,” standing not too far away, nodded calmly.
There was no expression of surprise or joy on his face, just standing there calmly.
“Okay, the council is adjourned. If there are any updates about the frontline, everyone will be notified,” Dordy called out loudly.
The lawmakers stood up and walked out one after another.
As they exited the council hall.
Without lingering, they hastily boarded their carriages and rushed back.
With Lyss City entering the Upper House, if the Federation wasn’t annihilated by the Blood Clan, then the entire structure of the Federation was bound to change.
The five giants had become six, and moreover, judging by the attitude of Lyss City.
It was very likely to overshadow the three other Upper House City Lords.
This was not good news; they must inform their respective powers as quickly as possible.
The lawmakers dispersed in a rush.
Carriages left swiftly, rushing back.
At the council hall.
Dordy, looking towards the tall, slender “Palmer,” said,
“Inform Rebecca about this side of things, the longer the delay, the worse the situation at the front will get.”
Before the vote, Dordy had traveled back and forth to Lyss City several times.
Trying to get Rebecca to ease the conditions.
But this time, Rebecca’s firmness was beyond everyone’s expectation; she was not willing to back down at all.
With urgent wartime conditions, Dordy had no other choice but to compromise.
He immediately convened the council, allowing Lyss City to enter the Upper House.
As for the rulers of Lyss City, Fang Hao and Rebecca, neither were present.
This was also for safety concerns. They feared that going there would mean being detained by Silver Wing City.
“I have already notified Mrs. Rebecca,” Palmer replied calmly.
“Good, then I’ll head over now.”
…
An hour later.
Lyss City.
In the hall.
Dordy, sitting on one side, looked expressionlessly at Rebecca beside him.
Ignoring the served refreshments, he said, “Rebecca, Lyss City has now entered the Upper House, and we will also gradually fulfill the rest of the agreements. Can we contact the Blood Clan now? Don’t be impulsive anymore.”
Rebecca nodded and said, “Yes.”
She gestured, and someone brought over a Sound-transmitting Shell.
On the shell, there was a label reading ‘Blood Clan.’
“I’m not sure we can get through to the Blood Clan, and even if we do, whether the issue can be resolved depends on your own negotiations,” Rebecca emphasized again.
Showing that she was not confident, setting expectations upfront.
“Okay, we understand that,”
Rebecca didn’t say more and picked up the Sound-transmitting Shell, saying, “I am Rebecca from Lyss City, wanting to contact the Blood Clan.”
The Sound-transmitting Shell did not respond, falling silent.
Whether it was Dordy or the accompanying lawmaker.
They all anxiously waited as time passed, sweat increasingly beading on their foreheads.
