The orchestrator of all this, Shawn Lee, urged Sean Carter, "Why is it so slow, haven't the results come out yet?"
Sean Carter looked at Nathan Perry, but without any instructions, he could only say, "They have come out."
After a brief arrangement, Sean Carter raised his voice.
"Now announcing, the voting results of the candidates—"
Everyone held their breath in anticipation.
"Fifteen votes for Richard White, Mr. White, to go to Australia."
Sean Carter swallowed, paused for a moment, "Two votes for Oliver Bloom, young Mr. Perry, to go to Australia."
"The remaining eighteen votes are abstentions."
Thirty-five votes in total, it could have been a twenty to fifteen victory, how did it suddenly become two to fifteen?!
The terrifying thing to think about is that within the royalist faction, those who voted for Oliver Bloom were only Richard White and Nathan Perry; the remaining eighteen actually abstained!
