"If you miss this opportunity, do you think you can find a proposal more aligned with your interests?"
Suddenly, a marquis from the Williams faction looked up at Duke Slode and said:
"My intelligence department received news that as early as half a month ago, someone was lobbying members of the Slode faction to abstain from voting."
He said coldly, "Don't forget that at this critical moment, any dithering we do will cause adverse effects to be magnified tenfold, a hundredfold compared to usual."
He hesitated for a moment and then brought up a matter:
"Don't forget the matter of the God of Love Church."
— Clearly, he was referring to the internal split within the God of Love Church earlier and the series of impacts caused by the backdoor scheming of the Love God's dark organization.
Someone understood the marquis's implication.
He suspected that someone in the Slode faction had been bought by external forces.
