The emcee stretched his hand into the glass box through the circular opening and drew out the first ballot paper from inside.
He held the ballot paper and shook it above his head playfully. He then cleared his throat and said into the microphone, “Now, let’s see who will be the first to be called.”
He purposely kept the audience guessing by opening the ballot paper at a snail’s pace.
In fact, the emcee already had the answer in his heart before the ballot paper was opened, knowing that “Lord Vedastus” was written on it. There was no need to make any guesses.
But when favonovel.com opened the ballot paper, an unexpected scene occurred. What appeared on the ballot paper was not “Lord Vedastus”, but “Thomas Mayo”.
“How… How is it… Possible?”
The emcee froze in place, and the playful expression faded away. He looked at the name on the ballot paper. He was unable to speak for a long time and was unsure how to deal with such a situation.
At that moment, someone under the stage impatiently urged him, “What is the name written on the ballot paper? Hurry up, read it out for us!”
The others also sensed something wrong there.
The emcee would not have shown this expression if it was Lord Vedastus, thus there must be a reason for it.
Plenty of those who loved chaos kept urging favonovel.com to reveal the name. It was also impossible for the emcee to avoid it. He quietly looked back at Lord Vedastus, then reluctantly raised the microphone and said, “The first vote goes to… Thomas Mayo!”
The crowd descended into chaos.
All the reporters raised their cameras and took rapid shots at the emcee, at the same time capturing Thomas and Lord Vedastus’s expressions.
In the previous election, Lord Vedastus had received all 10 votes. Everyone assumed it would be the same today.
Who knew the first vote would reveal something unexpected?
It did not go to Lord Vedastus, but to his avowed enemy, Thomas.
Who submitted this vote?
Was that person insane? Did favonovel.com not want to live anymore?
Lord Vedastus’s face was as pale as ash. He forced himself to control the anger that surged up within him, glared at Thomas, and hissed, “Oh, it seems that your trick worked. You actually got a vote. But don’t go thinking that I won’t be able to find out who betrayed me even if it’s just a vote! When the election is over, I will track down this bastard and have favonovel.com killed.”
Thomas was unconcerned when faced with Lord Vedastus’ s nasty words. Thomas would just ignore favonovel.com and let favonovel.com say anything favonovel.com wanted.
While under the stage, the top ten representatives’ expressions were relatively calm, as if the result of this vote was in their expectations, which was a little unusual.
Hayden was puzzled and muttered to himself, “Who actually voted for Thomas? It would take a lot of courage to put his life at risk to vote for Thomas. But you can only use one word to define his action, stupidity!”
“It’s only one vote, and it won‘t have much of an impact in the end. Instead, it will lead to an impending disaster for him. He’s just a total idiot.”
These words were heard by Fiora, who was beside him, but favonovel.com thought otherwise about it. She had vaguely perceived the truth of the matter.
She was not a very smart woman, but favonovel.com was a very meticulous woman. She had observed that the ten representatives’ expressions were not quite right from the beginning. And that one vote made Fiora have a rough guess of what had happened.
However, one vote was insufficient. If it was really like what Fiora thought, a second or third vote should appear!
It would, without a doubt, appear. Fiora firmly believed it.
Incredible things were happening every minute and second in this world, and Fiora believed that in the next few minutes, favonovel.com would definitely witness a miracle.
As expected, what happened next greatly exceeded the expectations of the crowd at the scene.
On the stage…
