I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 820: Modified - 514 Writing the Prologue (Request for Monthly Ticket!)
Chapter 820: Modified: Chapter 514 Writing the Prologue (Request for Monthly Ticket!)
Malek and the other two’s faces were as dark as water, sitting down without saying a word.
The Speaker’s words marked the end of this "trial."
No matter how dissatisfied they were, the fact that Jack could continue to stay in the Senate unscathed was undeniable.
"Next agenda item."
The Speaker Azjiluo raised his hand to signal.
Malek and the other two exchanged glances, remaining silent.
Kingsberg and the others had no issues to discuss, resulting in a brief silence. At this moment, Chen Lun, seated in the tenth seat, spoke up:
"Mr. Speaker, I request to be transferred out of the Royal City Church district."
"Hmm?!"
The expressions of all the Governing Officers changed involuntarily.
Malek and the other two widened their eyes, full of disbelief.
The position they had been coveting as the head of the Royal City was being easily relinquished by the other party? Then why did they rush to compete for it in the first place... Was Houston’s death too unjustified!
"Jack, do you want to reconsider?"
Kingsberg said in a deep voice.
Not only him, but the four Governing Officers beside him, Mulenga, Bindu, Yasmin, and Peggy, echoed his sentiments with concerned expressions.
The Generous Council’s position in the Empire’s Six States, particularly the position of the head of the Royal City, was the most valuable. After all, it was located in the Empire’s heart, Bixie Crost, engaging with the Royal Family and the core upper echelons of the Seven Gods Church, which meant heavy responsibilities and naturally elevating one’s status.
Whether in terms of influence within the council or resource allocation, there would be significant improvements.
"Sorry, everyone... It’s not that I don’t want to shoulder the council’s responsibilities, but upon rising to a higher position, I’ve become clearer on what I truly want to pursue."
Chen Lun said calmly.
"The head of the Royal City should be undertaken by a more outstanding Governing Officer in the Senate. The tenth seat, Jack Spett, requests to be transferred to the Empire’s northern border. I request your approval, Mr. Speaker."
He certainly wouldn’t say it was because he sensed the deep waters of the Royal City, not wanting to stay under the Sun King’s watchful eye and get caught in a terrifying whirlpool.
The Speaker Azjiluo quietly stared at him for a few seconds, then nodded.
"Since that’s the case, I won’t insist..."
He then looked at the other seated Governing Officers, thought for a moment, and gave the result:
"Peggy."
"Present."
The named female Governing Officer Peggy showed a surprised expression, followed by joy. Kingsberg and the others also smiled. However, the Speaker’s following words made their smiles freeze:
"You will be transferred from your current Lin State area to the Insect State area managed by Randa... And Randa will take Jack’s position, heading to Bixie Crost in the Royal City."
The Speaker said slowly.
Randa was initially stunned, then his eyes flickered with surprise.
Under the excited gaze of Malek and Mide, Randa quickly got up to salute the Speaker and expressed gratitude:
"Thanks for your trust, Mr. Speaker. Randa will certainly not fail his duties."
The three did not expect such a turn of events; the position of the head of the Royal City still fell into their hands.
Kingsberg and the others frowned slightly, but they dared not question the Speaker’s decision. However, this development was not good news for them.
"Jack, now that you have ascended to the Holy Rank, I think it’s time to officially appoint you as a Governing Officer from the reserve status..."
The Speaker smiled.
"My King has once again delivered the Oracle of Slaughter, commending you. Peggy’s original Lin State area will be assigned to you... The main city of that area, Cold Leaf City, is located in the Empire’s northern border, adjacent to the far northern Byron Kingdom. It’s relatively peaceful and suitable for you to pursue what you desire."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, thank you for your support."
Chen Lun clasped his chest in greeting.
The other eight Governing Officers all showed astonished expressions. They had just heard from the Speaker that King of Slaughter Conrad had delivered an Oracle, expressing commendation for Jack?!
No wonder the Speaker had always been so keen on Jack!
Kingsberg and the other Governing Officers turned to look at Malek and the others, whose faces still held looks of astonishment... They surely understood now that Jack had killed Houston, yet faced no punishment. While part of the reason was justified, the more crucial factor was the King of Slaughter’s favor!
No wonder the Speaker had been partial...
In the hearts of the Governing Officers, they unknowingly elevated Jack’s position in the council by several levels.
A moment later.
The Speaker announced the end of the confidential meeting and quietly disappeared.
Malek and the others didn’t want to stay a moment longer; they stood up and hurriedly left the chamber. They had obtained what they desired and were content.
Kingsberg and the other five Governing Officers, along with Chen Lun, remained.
"The reason the Speaker assigned the head of the Royal City to Randa is largely because of significant changes within the Senate..."
Mulenga said with emotion, sitting in his chair.
"Houston is dead, Jack has risen to high rank... The Speaker worries that the few of us will dominate the Senate’s resolutions henceforth, so he has weighted Randa and the others to keep the balance."
"That’s true, but it’s still somewhat regrettable."
Bindu shook his head.
"There’s no point in discussing this any further. Let’s first congratulate Jack on his ascension... We now have another Saint amongst us!"
