Live speech? Interesting.
Nia looked at the proposal from Arthur and muttered to herself.
Normally she wouldn't look closely at something like this, but after all, it was Arthur who proposed it, and ignoring the Speaker's proposal didn't seem like a proper attitude.
Well, let's take a closer look.
Thinking so, Nia began to browse the document submitted by Arthur page by page.
"...seems pretty good?"
Arthur's document was not long, and its arrangement and meaning were simple.
In November, Hope City had just suffered a large-scale invasion by a tide of beasts. Although a speaker had appeared, there must be some novelty in the new year.
Arthur hoped that on December 31st, all the members of parliament, including himself, would go to the auditorium for the awarding ceremony to give a speech. There was no need to really plan the content, as long as it was generally positive.
Nia had never paid attention to this kind of thing before. In fact, in Hope City, the last day of each year and the first day of the new year are actually no different. Everyone still has to go to work and go home, and work hard for a living.
This was the first time she had heard of such a celebration.
Seems good...
Nia thought for a moment, felt that she should write a good speech, and then marked the document with the "approved" mark.
Similar scenes also occurred in the offices of other congressmen. They were either busy dealing with some matters or enjoying life. In short, everyone received this message.
Councilman Sharma was, as usual, tasting the food for which he had himself proposed an improvement plan, and Councilman Zhong Ding was calculating the profits that the tidal power generator had brought him over the past period of time, but their attention was soon attracted and they began to think about the feasibility of Arthur's plan.
The old congressmen trapped in their chairs also received the prompt and everyone fell into deep thought about this plan.
Could this be a trap set by Arthur?
It's possible, but it seems unnecessary.
They have reached a certain degree of balance with each other, and it stands to reason that now is the "honeymoon period" for both parties.
If Arthur himself didn't participate in this live broadcast, they would still have doubts, but Arthur himself went...
【approve】.
Half an hour later, the application result was returned to Arthur's terminal via the network.
【Approval result: passed
Votes: 10/10】
An ambiguous smile appeared on the blond man's face. Things were going more smoothly than expected and it seemed that a good show was about to begin.
"Come in."
Arthur, who was staring at the terminal, heard footsteps disappearing in front of his door. He knew someone was coming to visit him, so he responded before the other person knocked on the door.
"Disaster Core" walked into the room and saw Arthur looking at him gently, as if he had expected this visit.
"Tell me the results of your discussion."
Arthur smiled and signaled the other party not to be nervous:
"No matter what choice you make, even if it goes against me, it doesn't matter. I will only do things within the rules."
"Please allow me to ask you a question first."
"Sit down and talk."
"Disaster Core" felt the sense of security. He walked forward and sat on the chair opposite Arthur's desk, while subconsciously looking around at the Speaker's personal space.
As a result, this place is simply mediocre.
It was not as magnificent as imagined, nor was it so solemn that it was difficult to enter. It was just as simple as an ordinary single dormitory. If it were not for the view outside the window that could overlook most of the inner city, I am afraid that the "disaster core" would have thought that he had come to the wrong place.
Unexpected, but also extremely reasonable.
Arthur looked at the "disaster core" that was looking around subconsciously, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to have a sense of seeing through it but not saying it out loud.
He waited until the other person sat down in the seat in front of him before he slowly asked:
"Ask whatever you want."
The Disaster Core took a deep breath, as if not wanting to face a possible answer, but finally mustered up the courage to speak:
"Do you know... or have you ever heard of the name Luke? He is..."
"Lucas's child, adopted."
Arthur said calmly,
"We met a few times. He was investigating me at the time and I set a trap for him."
The expression on the face of the "disaster core" changed several times, which seemed particularly exciting.
"So how did you...deal with him?"
Arthur thought for a moment:
"I told him about the evil deeds of the Council and helped him remove the device in his arm."
The device in the arm... "Disaster Core" certainly knew what it was. On the one hand, he was relieved that Luke was alive, and on the other hand, he was excited because the Speaker seemed to have a plan to remove the device:
"How? I mean, how did you do that?"
Arthur smiled:
"I cut off his right arm and placed it in a culture medium to keep it alive, pretending everything was normal until the council discovered something was wrong and took the initiative to disable the device."
“…”
The "Disaster Core" was stunned and speechless for a moment. Arthur's straightforwardness exceeded his imagination, and the way to break the deadlock was equally shocking.
"Then his disappearance..."
"He left on his own, but I also happened to receive new news today."
Arthur took out a piece of paper, wrote an address on it and pushed it in front of the "disaster core".
"If you want to see him, you can wait here tonight."
At this moment, the "Disaster Core" was already shocked beyond words. In his opinion, it was already good enough that Luke was able to survive. He did not expect that the Speaker could still keep track of his whereabouts at all times.
He hesitated for a long time, but finally did not take the paper.
On the one hand, Arthur's credibility was reassuring enough; on the other hand, if the operation failed, the meeting with Luke would definitely be exposed, and then the child would be harmed...
Thinking of this, the "Disaster Core" breathed a sigh of relief:
"We all trust your credibility, so as long as the child is safe, there is no need to meet."
As he spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply to Arthur in front of him:
"In this case, on behalf of the First Team, I would like to accept all the arrangements made by the Speaker."
Arthur nodded in satisfaction, walked around the other side of the table to help the "Disaster Core" up, and said to himself half comfortingly and half emotionally:
“I know your concerns. A long time ago, I also believed that we should give up our selfish desires for the survival of mankind. But after so long, I found that this creed can be used to restrain myself, but not to restrain others.
“So it doesn’t really matter whether one has selfish motives or not. I want partners whose selfish motives won’t affect the overall situation.
"Go back and tell them the news. I wish you a smooth retirement."
