Chapter 361: Chaos In The Cabinet
"Let us proceed with the penultimate meeting for the resolution of the status of the city lord, Noah Bergs."
Earlier that day, by 9 am, under the regulation of the cabinet premier, the meeting everyone was looking forward to had begun.
The cabinet meeting was held in Assembly of the People, a large conference building built by the government specifically for such activities. Similar to large arenas and conference halls, the hall inside of the building was wide and large. The seats were arranged in a semicircular pattern facing a rostrum where the cabinet premier and the secretary sat. Unlike the premier, the secretary wasn’t one of the representatives but was appointed by the premier and approved by the other representatives.
As soon as the meeting began, a representative abruptly stood up.
The others glanced in his direction, wondering who it was that was in such a haste.
Of the sixty representatives, twenty came from the top four families, another twenty came from Baylands city-state’s top forces, while the remaining twenty were voted in to represent each of the city-state’s twenty districts. Since this meeting would be one to decide the status of the city lord position, many believed that those directly involved —the top four families— would finally speak up and be the first to have their voices heard; rather than maintaining the silence they had kept in the past.
Unexpectedly however, the representative who spoke up was from neither of the top four families.
The representative who currently remained standing was representing the North Wave district, one of the five districts that made up Baylands City.
Due to the related importance of the districts, the representatives from the five major districts weren’t treated the same as with the fifteen other districts. On the contrary, they were rated a bit higher.
"My fellow representatives, today, we decide on the status of the city lord. However, I stand on this stage today to ask you, is there a reason why we must do so? His Excellency, Noah, had spent a good number of his prime years in office, ensuring the safety of the people. He stabilised the economy and improved security. Despite all of that, this is how we reward him? By ousting him from the seat of power that he truly deserves?"
"Sit down, you fucking retard!"
A representative shouted from the other end of the hall.
