Chapter 1008 The Villain Succeeds
Thinking of such huge benefits, Hubert couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster. However, he did not get carried away. He calmed down a little and said: "Once this proposal is proposed, it will definitely be strongly opposed by Speaker Anduin and the group of MPs headed by him. With what we can control now Voting rights, I’m afraid it’s not easy to pass this proposal.”
It's not that it's not easy, it's very difficult. If Northam can really get this proposal passed easily, then he can also remove the subtitle and replace Anduin as the real Speaker of the Supreme Council.
Northam was naturally aware of this issue, but if he missed this opportunity and allowed Lin Li to gain a firm foothold in the Supreme Council, it would be even less likely that this proposal would be passed in the future, so he asked Hubert: "Indeed, it is not easy. , based on your ability, how many tickets do you expect to be able to take out tomorrow.
Hubert is a high-ranking member of the Supreme Council second only to Aldwin, and he also has certain connections. He pondered for a moment, and went through the names of those congressmen who followed his lead. He also considered those who had some friendship with him and might be able to win them over, and finally reported a number to Noson. Nineteen votes, this is the number of votes that Hubert can get, excluding the people that Northam can influence.
However, this answer did not satisfy Noson. He shook his head slightly and said: "It is not enough. Even if you add in the votes of the centrist members that may be obtained, it will not be enough to push the proposal through."
"If I promise some benefits after success, I can win the support of three more people, but even so, I am still far away from half." Hubert is also very embarrassed. After all, it is impossible to bribe all the members. Maybe if it's exposed, Noson doesn't know that he, a high-ranking member of parliament, can't hope to continue his career.
Moreover, even if it is bribery, how much price must be paid so that people will not care about Anduin's identity as the Speaker. After all, this proposal is clearly intended to offend Anduin.
No matter how great the benefits that proposal can bring, if it cannot be passed, it will just be a beautiful painting. The atmosphere in the room seemed a little dull for a while. Neither of them spoke anymore. Only Noson's constant tapping on the table sounded particularly clear and harsh.
Grosso stood outside the door, his face flushed with excitement, even the slap marks were covered up, and his breathing became uncontrollably faster and faster. I thought that I was extremely unlucky and had offended someone I shouldn't have offended, causing me to be scolded by the teacher. Unexpectedly, my luck turned out to be here. I didn't even have to ask for it. The deputy speaker, Mr. Northen, was already preparing to deal with that Fei Lei. .
Grosso had already arrived, and he was originally worried about how to persuade Northam to vent his anger on his behalf, but he didn't want to hear the conversation between Northam and Hubert. Judging from the content of the conversation, this was no longer a simple lesson to that boy Fei Lei, but a plan to cut flesh from that boy's body.
Only after hearing this, Grosso also knew that Northam and Hubert had encountered a problem. If you want to push for the passage of the proposal, you must obtain the support of at least half of the members of the parliament. If you are not sure that this standard is met, then there is no need to submit the proposal, otherwise it will only damage Northam's prestige.
Hearing the sudden silence in the room, Grosso became anxious. This was the best opportunity for revenge. If he let it go, he would never be able to take this breath again, even between Mason and Ou. You will no longer be able to lift your head before the spirit. Isn't it just that there are not enough votes? His teacher is also a member of the parliament and is well-connected in the parliament. He must not be willing to let this matter go, not to mention that he can take the opportunity to build a relationship with the deputy speaker!
Thinking of this, Grosso felt a rush of blood rushing to the top of his head. He couldn't care anymore. He stretched out his hand to push the door open and rushed in. His face was full of excitement and he shouted: "Speaker Northam, I..."
Northam and Hubert were having a headache over the proposal, when they heard the door open with a bang, and then a figure stumbled in. Although both of them were legendary strong men, they were also startled by this sudden situation. When they saw clearly that the person who came was actually a great magician, they couldn't suppress the anger in their hearts.
Northam is the deputy speaker of the Supreme Council. Even if Anduin comes to see him, he must ask outside first before coming in. The enemy is an enemy, but this necessary etiquette still needs to be observed. It was precisely because of this that Noson did not arrange for anyone to guard outside when he was talking to Hubert. In the entire Supreme Council, Northen really couldn't think of anyone who would dare to eavesdrop on his conversation.
But such a person happened to appear, and he was a little great wizard. Looking at Grosso who had just barged in, Noson's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy. Without waiting for Grosso to speak, he sternly scolded: "Sneaky thing, don't you understand any rules? You are here too." This kind of thing just wanders in!"
Following Noson's scolding, a huge pressure burst out instantly, filling the entire room, as if even the space was solidified. After Grosso broke in, his face was full of excitement. He was about to tell Noson the reason for his visit, but his expression changed drastically when the pressure came on him. He felt as if the sky was collapsing, and he was pressed heavily. on myself.
What frightened Grosso even more was that from Deputy Speaker Northam, he could clearly feel a cold murderous intention that penetrated deep into his soul, making him have no doubt that the other party would really kill him at this moment. Under this kind of oppression, Grosso's spirit was about to collapse. He felt that his legs had lost all feeling, and his body suddenly fell to the ground and trembled uncontrollably. He couldn't think of anything to say.
In fact, at this time, not to mention Grosso, who was just a great mage, even Hubert, who was already a legendary mage, was frightened by the coercion erupted by Northam. However, after sensing Northam's murderous intent, Hubert did not dare to be lazy and said quickly: "Sir, please calm down and listen to his explanation first, and then deal with him."
This is the Sky Garden after all. Although Northen is the deputy speaker, killing a great wizard casually is not something that can be easily covered up. What's more, since this person broke in instead of snitching secretly, it means that at least he is not from Anduin's side.
Of course, Northen also knew this. He was just troubled by the proposal in the first place, and when such a thing suddenly appeared, anyone would be angry. However, after hearing Hubert's persuasion, Nossen suppressed his anger slightly, looked at Grosso lying on the ground, and asked coldly: I'll give you a chance to explain, if you can't satisfy me...
At this time, Grosso's whole body looked as if he had just come out of the water. Even the place where he was lying on his stomach was wet. If Northen hadn't calmed down a little, he might have peed out in the next moment. .
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, it's me. Don't you remember me? Your student Gryffindor is my brother." Grosso was still lying on the ground, his body so weak that he couldn't stand up at all. He just held his head with difficulty. He lifted it up and looked at Noson.
"This is not what I want to hear." When he saw Grosso's appearance, Northam had already remembered such a person, but his attitude did not ease at all.
When Gryffindor was recommended to Northam, Grosso was actually one of the recommended candidates. But at that time, Northam realized that although Grosso had some magic talent, he was by no means a talent, so he only accepted a Gryffindor student. He didn't have the ability of a genius, but he had the arrogance of a genius. For such a person, Northam simply looked down upon him. This was the case in the past and it is still the case now.
The bone-chilling chill in Northam's tone made Grosso shiver again, and he no longer dared to hope for a relationship. He quickly said: "Sir, my teacher is Congressman Readings, and there is also someone in the parliament. With a little bit of connections, if you need it, I may be able to pass on a message for you, and I believe my teacher will be happy to help you.”
At
Upon hearing this, Nuosen's expression finally softened a little, and at the same time he put away the huge pressure that filled the room, and asked calmly: "Really, how many people can your teacher support? "
The crushing pressure finally disappeared. Grosso secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he continued like this, he would really go crazy. After the nightmare experience just now, Grosso did not dare to neglect Northam's question at all. While thinking about it, he said: "There are Congressmen Kemit, Congressman Chiara, Congressman Saga..."
As Grosso said each name one by one, smiles gradually appeared on the faces of Noson and Hubert. Just now, they had calculated the number of votes they could control, and now when they added these, they immediately had the answer in their minds.
If Grosso can really do it and win over the congressmen he talked about, then the number of votes Northam has will exceed half of the parliament. If nothing else, it will be enough to push the proposal through.
Moreover, the content of this proposal was originally beneficial to the Supreme Council, but it only harmed the interests of an emerging magic union. I believe that many members who have always remained neutral and put the interests of the Supreme Council first will be tempted when faced with this proposal.
"Very well, if you can do this well, I can forgive you for your rudeness this time. Remember, before the meeting starts tomorrow, I want to get a definite answer. You go." Northen warned coldly. Grosso said, waving him away.
In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. Outside the library of the Supreme Council of the Sky Garden, Grosso and several young magicians were dancing and talking. His expression could not tell the impact of yesterday's events on him.
These young great magicians all came to the Supreme Council to learn from their respective teachers. And their teachers were the legislators who Grosso had promised Northam to support Northam's proposal at the meeting.
When Grosso reported to Northam, he also felt from Northam's attitude and tone that after the meeting, Ferre, who had crippled his brother and made himself look embarrassed, was definitely going to be in bad luck this time. .
And Grosso was not only happy about this incident. This time, his teacher Readings had established a relationship with the deputy speaker, and he praised himself even more. He even said that he would be in charge of the Crescent City Magic Union in the future.
When your enemy is in bad luck and you are lucky, this is simply the most satisfying thing in life.
How could such a wonderful thing not be shared with anyone, but sharing it with only these few guys around me still seems to make people feel a little lacking. At this time, Grosso looked past the little brother in front of him and looked into the distance. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. The person in the distance who was walking towards the library was none other than that boy from Masson!
"Hey, isn't this Ma Sen? Why can't you see your great supporter?" Grosso, with a few companions, blocked Ma Sen's way.
"Grosso, what, the lesson learned yesterday was not enough?" Mason stopped and looked at Grosso and others warily.
"I'm really afraid of teaching you a lesson..." Grosso shivered exaggeratedly, then raised his chin and said with a proud face: "Let me tell you, your big backer can't even protect itself now. . What a pity. You should have asked him for some magic crystal cannon earlier. After today, he may not even be able to afford a magic crystal."
Grosso's words and exaggerated expression immediately caused the great magicians to laugh.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Get out of the way, I'm going to the library. - Mason knows that people like Grosso who bully the weak and fear the strong, after yesterday's lesson, if they don't have something to rely on, UU Reading www. uukanshu.net would never dare to be so arrogant today. Therefore, he didn't want to get entangled with Grosso and the others anymore, but hurried to the library to remind Lin Li who had arranged to meet there.
However, Grosso was not satisfied yet. How could he let Mason go so easily? He said with disdain: "Go to the library? It's a waste of time for a waste like you. It's useless to memorize any spells." . Let me see, you’d better go back to your fishing village and be a fisherman honestly, haha!”
Mason's face suddenly turned red, and the blood vessels on his temples bulged. He clenched his fists tightly and his body was trembling slightly. He suppressed his anger and roared: "Grosso, don't go too far. Don't go too far." Think I’m really afraid of you!”
"Really? I don't know who the person I always knocked down before is. What else can a waste like you do besides hiding behind that Feyre? It's simply a discredit to the profession of magician." Masson's look made Grosso feel very happy. He felt that he had finally gotten back some interest after suffering yesterday.
"Mason, do it, you can still bear this, aren't you a man?"
"Ha, he alone is worthy of fighting against Brother Grosso. Last time he was blown away by an air blast. He couldn't get up after crawling for a long time. That was so ridiculous." (To be continued.)
