Chapter 993: Chapter 613, You Really Think I’m Begging You_2
Another person stood up, “Fang Hao, the City Lord of Lyss City, is the power in your hands, or is it in Rebecca’s hands?”
“City Lord Fang Hao, after entering the Upper Council, what is the first thing you plan to do?”
“You’ve been the City Lord for less than a year, what makes you think you’re capable of entering the Upper Council?”
“…Rebecca is a half-elf, and you are a transmigrator, can you guarantee that these won’t be problematic?”
Fang Hao answered each question, but his eyebrows were already furrowed.
It was evident that some people had already prepared to target him, asking tricky and spiteful questions.
...
Moreover, the order of the people asking questions was one after another.
After answering one, the next question followed closely behind.
To say they hadn’t prepared, not even a dog would believe it.
Bang bang!!
He had answered more than twenty questions in a row.
Only then did Dordy reluctantly knock on the desk to quiet the scene.
Looking towards Fang Hao, “City Lord Fang Hao, is there anything else you would like to add?”
Fang Hao shook his head, “Nothing else.”
“Alright, then let’s start the voting.”
The voting here was also very simple.
There were no high-tech elements involved, each council member had one vote, agreeing means tossing the vote into the ‘agree’ box, disagreeing, into the other one.
Everyone proceeded to enter the room and began dropping their votes into the boxes one by one.
Standing to the side, Fang Hao could tell from the number of people, there seemed to be more opposing than supporting.
Finally, the voting ended.
Some staff began to check the vote count.
Dordy spoke, “Alright, I declare the result… Lyss City does not meet the number of votes required to enter the Upper Council, and thus cannot enter.”
Whoosh!!
A buzz arose from below, with some rejoicing and cheering, while others showed disappointment.
Fang Hao glanced down, then at the Upper Council above, feeling a surge of anger in his heart.
They hadn’t even reached the step of voting in the Upper Council before being outright rejected by the Lower Council.
It seems his terms failed to sway the Upper Council.
Otherwise, even if there were oppositions, they wouldn’t have resulted in today’s chaotic situation that was almost like a street brawl.
Dordy, then looking to the side, said: “City Lord Fang Hao, I regret to inform you that you did not pass. Do you have anything else to add now?”
Fang Hao still smiled, “Nothing.”
“Good, then the council is adjourned.”
The five giants left the scene, and others also got up amidst discussions, walking out in groups.
“See, I told you they wouldn’t succeed.”
“What a pity, such a rare chance to enter the Upper Council.”
“Forget the Lower Council, the Upper Council would never allow them.”
“Exactly, Dordy just casually mentioned a nomination, and they took it seriously.”
Hubert and Groot were walking out together.
Groot, not bothering to lower his voice, announced loudly, “Gentlemen, today I suddenly recalled a happy matter, I have reserved a feast at ‘Dragon Ascend Banquet Hall’ and would like to invite everyone to join me in celebration.”
As people walked out, they stopped in their tracks.
Laughing as they turned back, “Of course, it’s a joy for all of us.”
“Just now, I also remembered something joyous.”
“We must celebrate properly, hahaha!!”
…
Listening to everyone’s taunts and jeers.
Fang Hao walked expressionlessly to a corridor on the side where Rebecca was waiting for him. Seeing Fang Hao, she immediately took his arm.
Gently consoling, “It’s okay, it’s just a nomination. It doesn’t matter whether we’re in or not.”
Before, it was Fang Hao comforting her, and now it had turned around.
The attitude of everyone just now, and the mockery of Groot and the others in the hall.
She heard it all and worried it might infuriate Fang Hao.
Fang Hao looked outside and said, “They dare to make such a scene only with the Upper Council’s tacit approval, thinking I’m really begging them.”
Embracing her waist, he said, “Let’s leave Silver Wing City today.”
The two hurried out, ignoring the ridicule from people along the way and went straight into the carriage.
Heading towards their residence.
Back at their place.
Rebecca’s face was still ugly.
They had spent so much time, so much effort.
In the end, it was all a joke.
Not even passing the first step, the Lower Council vote, let alone the vote of the five giants.
“Should I say goodbye to ‘Olivia’ before we leave?” Rebecca suggested.
Regardless of the outcome, her best friend had sincerely helped her.
Fang Hao shook his head, “Just say it through the Sound-transmitting Shell, let’s leave now.”
After quickly packing up,
He took Rebecca by the hand, directly boarding the carriage.
Under the protection of a few Lionheart Knights, the carriage left Lyss City, heading towards Li Rong’s city.
There at Li Rong’s place, after briefly explaining the situation,
They used a teleport spell to return to Lyss City again.
As soon as Fang Hao’s feet touched the carpet of Lyss City,
He opened the Book of Lords and sent a message to Dong Jiayue.
“Tonight, lay siege to the Federation’s Fort of Santierre, and reject any form of communication or negotiation with the Federation.”
After a few seconds, Dong Jiayue replied with a single word, “Oh.”
…
Fort of Santierre, at the border.
The pitch-black sky was void of any stars.
As if someone had covered the entire land with an opaque veil.
Although the war had ended, the human alliance forces were still on the border, having drawn a long line of vigilance.
Numerous troops were stationed here, preventing any possible danger.
To humans, the Blood Clan posed a threat no less than the Undead.
