The moment the congressman finished speaking, Albert instinctively held his breath.

These words instantly stirred up some "painful" memories in him.

Back then, at a United Nations conference, this old man said the same thing.

"Congressman Albert?"

The old man's voice suddenly rang out behind him.

Albert's body trembled violently.

He subconsciously unfastened the electromagnetic adsorption device on the chair, quickly stood up, and looked behind him.

The councilor, with a meaningful smile on his face, stared directly at him: "Do you have any objections?"

Albert's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he swallowed hard.

He really wanted to offer his opinion.

For example, cast a vote for yourself.

But thinking of the decisive and efficient methods the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly had used since the SUPP was established, he hesitated.

"Congressman Albert?"

The smile on the old man's face gradually disappeared, and his voice rose an octave.

“No, I have no objection.” Albert shook his head slowly, a hint of bitterness on his face.

The Speaker of the Council gave Albert one last, deep look.

"I hope you don't."

Albert lowered his head, avoiding the Speaker's gaze.

"Alright, sit down."

Seeing Albert's state, the councilor didn't say anything more. He gently patted Albert's shoulder and whispered, "Just focus on your work."

...

The election rally concluded quickly under the chairmanship of the parliamentarian.

Unsurprisingly, Hung Chi-ming was elected as the second Speaker of the Legislative Council with a unanimous vote.

The Speaker of the Council... no, the former Speaker of the Council gave up his seat and sat in the seat that Hung Kai-ming had originally occupied.

Perhaps because he had finally put his mind at ease, the old councilor smiled as he looked at Councilor Albert sitting opposite him.

"Albert, we're on equal footing now."

Albert: "..."

"Old Speaker, what are you saying?"

Looking at the smiling old man in front of him, Albert said with a frustrated expression, "In my heart, you will always be the Speaker of the Council."

The old man didn't speak, but smiled noncommittally.

He then turned his gaze to Hong Qiming, who was sitting in the head seat.

“Chairman Hong, I propose that the term of office for councilors be extended to 100 years.”

The moment he finished speaking, the meeting room erupted in an uproar.

"100 years?!"

"Speaker of the council...isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Old Speaker, a 100-year term... how is that any different from a hereditary system?"

Seeing numerous members of parliament raising questions and inquiries about him, the old legislator's lips curled into a faint smile.

Before he could speak, Hong Qiming, who was sitting in the head seat, coughed lightly.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

After attracting the attention of others, he reached out and pressed a switch on the conference table.

A holographic image appeared directly above the conference table.

The image shows a silver-white medical pod.

Judging from the surrounding layout and facilities, this medical pod was placed in the former Speaker's office.

"Now, I would like to introduce a new technology to you."

"The latest research achievement of the Chinese Academy of Sciences - the longevity enzyme."

"..."

"In conclusion, the human lifespan limit will be increased to over 600 years."

"Compared to that, a 100-year term is not long."

The meeting room was completely silent.

After a brief silence, an incredibly noisy discussion erupted instantly!

Albert's eyes were slightly red, and his breathing was heavy as he stared at the holographic image in front of him. He asked in a low voice, "Old Speaker, is this real?"

The old councilor chuckled and pointed to himself.

"Can't you tell whether it's true or not?"

Albert's breathing became even heavier again.

At that moment, he understood everything!

No wonder I haven't seen the Speaker of the National Assembly for a whole month; no wonder his health has visibly improved!

Longevity has been a pursuit of humankind since ancient times.

As Albert entered his old age, he was no exception to the trend!

"Speaker Hong, when can this technology be rolled out?"

Albert, unable to contain himself, quickly turned to Hong Qiming and asked him a question.

He's not young anymore.

Albert could clearly feel his physical functions declining day by day.

Faced with Albert's clearly purposeful question, Hong Qiming shrugged.

"At present, the specific launch time is unknown."

"How...how could this happen?!"

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Albert's face instantly flashed with anger: "Is this some kind of privilege reserved for the former Speaker?!"

"This is discriminatory treatment! I protest!!"

As Albert's voice rang out, several older members of parliament echoed his sentiments.

The old councilor remained silent, even watching the scene with great interest.

He wanted to see how Hung Kai-ming would resolve the incident.

Faced with protests from members of Congress, Hung Chi-ming remained calm and unhurriedly said, "This is not my decision."

“You can go and protest to Professor Lü.”

"..."

The previously noisy conference room instantly fell silent.

Albert's expression was rather unpleasant.

Should we protest to Lü Yongchang?

Are you kidding me?

The Academy of Sciences and Parliament are on equal footing, and at certain times, Parliament may even have to follow the arrangements of the Academy of Sciences.

How could he possibly protest?!

Hung Chi-ming softened his tone slightly: "This technology is still in the biological experimental stage, and its use by the Speaker of Parliament is also due to various considerations."
