Chapter 259
The aides to the councilor who had been tossed into the sea were shouting towards the water in shock, though it was obvious the man was not coming back.
"Alright."
I turned to the crowd that had followed me. The politicians who had come up were frozen in place, especially the female councilors like Kim Eun-ji, who were visibly trembling with pale lips.
"Does anyone else need to return? I must follow the party's orders and return no matter what," I said, raising my right hand as an example. Yet, everyone kept their mouths shut and hands down.
"Former Councilor Kim Eun-ji?" "Huh?! I, I—" "You seem quite cold, shaking so much."
I pulled her into an embrace under the pretense of warming her up, casually caressing her here and there, while she just shivered.
"Kim Eun-ji said earlier she would stay. What about the rest?" "We, we’ll stay too...."
A female councilor spoke up on behalf of the group, and the rest nodded. Their faces were filled with fear.
That's more like it. This is the reaction I expected.
"Right? It would be quite rude to leave such an enjoyable party midway. I've put a lot of effort into preparing for this day. It would hurt my feelings if you said something disappointing."
Fortunately, all the councilors decided to stay. I nodded generously, still holding Kim Eun-ji close, enjoying the feel of her.
"Soo-ah." "Yes." "If you see the AV the party mentioned, just shoot it down." "Understood." "Why keep challenging me?"
