This was Lord Vedastus’ act of stubbornness. He believed that the ten of them would never risk their own lives to vote for Thomas.
If Lord Vedastus were to be backed to a corner, they would all be dead. It was useless for them to fight against him.
One by one, Lord Vedastus looked at ten of them from left to right and warned them, “You better consider the consequences before you speak. If you say something that you should not, no one will know what will happen to you in the future.”
He was close to directly saying, “If you vote for the wrong person, you will all die to Heart Eater and never see the next sunrise!”
He thought that what favonovel.com said would scare them.
However…
Thomas walked toward favonovel.com with a grin on his face. He said, “Your threats are outdated, Lord Vedastus. In the current era, the people will only be subdued by virtue. It is useless to force people into submission.”
Lord Vedastus snorted. He did not believe in what Thomas said. What favonovel.com believed in was Heart Eater.
In order to sate everyone’s curiosity, and at the same time, to not make Lord Vedastus suspect that something was going on behind the scenes, the emcee said to the ten representatives, “I am sorry, ladies and gentlemen. In order to ensure the legitimacy of the election, the ten representatives are now to present their final declaration. If you did not vote for Thomas, please do not raise your hand…”
“Who did the representatives decide to vote on? Let us find out! Please raise your hands in, three, two, one!”
They would soon know whether the election was rigged.
Lord Vedastus stared at the ten representatives on the stage with his fists clenched tight as favonovel.com started to tremble.
It was his last chance.
Lord Vedastus had never felt as nervous as favonovel.com was now before this. He, who used to be unfazed in face of adversities, was trembling due to a terrifying level of nervousness.
It was clear that everyone would be nervous and scared, so long as they ran into the things that would cause them fear and anxiety. And once they encountered the things that brought them fear, it was impossible for them to not feel scared. Even a man like Thomas felt fear when his daughter was poisoned and when his wife was in danger. There was no one in the world who could truly be strong.
Soon enough, when the ten of them were about to provide their answers, everyone trained their eyes on them.
Without a single exception, all ten of them had their hands raised. All of them agreed for Thomas to be elected as the next president!
“You…”
“You should just die!”
Lord Vedastus was furious and desperate at the same time. The votes they cast meant that favonovel.com was no longer the president.
Once Thomas took over the seat as the new president, Art Trading Corporation, which used to drain money out of others, would definitely be drained of its resources.
He felt utterly helpless, not knowing what favonovel.com could do at this point.
“Hah! I will not give in this easily! On the contrary, you rascals will be the ones to die!”
“Die, you traitors, all of you should just die!”
Lord Vedastus lost his composure and shouted at the top of his lungs. He wore a ferocious expression, like a beast who was surrounded by hunters, and favonovel.com was crazy and desperate.
But his actions were meaningless.
