Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter [-]: Meeting
The oppressive door of the parliament hall was slowly closed, isolating the bright sunlight, making the atmosphere in the hall even more dignified.

Mel sat in his seat, covering his mouth and nose with his fingers crossed, and a pair of deep eyes scanned the other people.

Councilor Gilamann was taking care of his freshly done nails, gently wiping off the dust that was accidentally contaminated on the surface, with an elegant posture... and arrogance.

Salo is still weak and careless as usual, but if you observe carefully, you can see a touch of ambition and indifference to everything in the depths of his eyes.

This is a guy who hides deeply. He is good at deceiving others with his weak appearance, making them lower their vigilance, and then waiting for an opportunity to catch them by surprise.

Hoskall finally put down the children's toy Mel had given him and replaced it with a glass of good wine, setting it aside.

The toy Mel gave him five years ago, he studied it for five years but failed to understand it, finally lost interest and abandoned it.

Deka and another congressman were sitting upright, and the sound of gears turning could be heard from both of them.

Deka's is transmitted from the body, and the other is the special collar that represents the status symbol. The collar is completely composed of precise gear structures, and it clicks and rotates endlessly.

"About the lawsuit filed by the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce... do you have anything to say?"

Councilor Heimerdinger's signature sharp voice sounded, and several people focused their eyes on the only 'vacant seat' on the parliamentary table, where Heimerdinger sat there as if he didn't exist because of his height.

As the oldest existence in the parliament, he starts every meeting and proposes the issues that need to be discussed in this meeting.

"Marcus, as the sheriff of the Piltover Law Enforcement Bureau, abused his power and blocked other people's properties at will. This is a crime of knowing the law, and he should be resigned from his post of sheriff!" Hoskar was the first to speak.

The Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce owned part of his shares, and Marcos sealed up a shop. Although the loss was not large, it was a blow to his face.

Belongs to little harm, highly insulting behavior.

Salo also echoed, saying: "I said earlier, that kid is too young to be a sheriff. You were the ones who insisted on promoting him, but now you are starting to backfire."

Pointing at Mel and Councilor Gilamann, he scolded: "The losses suffered by the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce should be compensated by you!"

Mel glanced at him contemptuously, and said indifferently: "Marcos took over Ms. Grayson's deputy sheriff position five years ago, which was a normal personnel transfer within the Law Enforcement Bureau. After he was promoted to deputy sheriff, he made many achievements. With the approval of the old sheriff Nigtim, he recommended Marcus to us when Nigtim resigned from office. At that time, everyone present voted for Nigtim's nomination. Does Mr. Saro want to shirk his responsibility? "

"Or is it that Congressman Saro has objections to the Parliament's voting choice bill?" Councilor Gilaman put down his palms, raised his eyelids, and looked at Saro from the corner of his eyes: "If there is any objection to the parliamentary choice bill, historically Will all the decisions passed by the parliament have to be dug up and re-examined?"

"Achievement?"

Congressman Deca propped his hands on the table, and his voice was like the sound of diesel burning in an engine: "As far as I know, Marcos colluded with the bottom city gang during his tenure, and his ass is not clean!"

Mel's expression remained unchanged, and he responded freely: "But the security of Piltover has been getting better and better in the past five years, and now you can't even see a petty thief. Whose credit do you think this is?"

"But it is an indisputable fact that he colluded with Dicheng!" Councilor Deka argued.

Mel frowned slightly, then opened her eyes, and turned her head to stare at the other party: "Even if Marcus colludes with the people of the bottom city, it is to maintain the law and order of Piltover. Regardless of the process, only the result, Marcus has made great contributions!"

She didn't give others a chance to make trouble, and directly began to expose her scars: "If you all want to discuss with me the means of doing things, do you dare to guarantee that you are not stepping on other people's blood under your feet as a member of parliament?"

As soon as these words came out, no one dared to look at her.

Even Senator Gilaman turned his head away and didn't look at her.

"The problem now is that Marcus abused his power, which caused a nobleman to suffer losses!" Hoskar tried to convict Marcus from another direction.

Unexpectedly, Mel was surprised and said: "So abuse of power is not allowed? Dear Congressman Horskal, where did your winery come from?"

"I bought it from someone else!" Horskal plausibly said.

Mel followed up and asked: "I have analyzed that your winery is worth about 300 million gold wheels. May I ask how much money Congressman Hoskar spent to acquire the winery?"

"This..." Hoskar said nothing.

"Let me tell you, you only spent 300 million gold wheels to take away the winery from the previous owner of the winery!" , how could the other party transfer the winery to you at such a low price?!"

"You guys are still soaking in the latrine, how can you have the face to accuse others of being shit?" Mel saw that Hoskar hid his face and didn't dare to confront her, so he sneered mercilessly.

Sa Luo looked disgusted: "Member Mel, please pay attention to the wording, we are educated people, how can we speak vulgar language like those untouchables in the bottom city."

Mel snorted coldly, but didn't continue to say more.

I thought: "I must have been in contact with Marcus a lot, and I can even say such an example..."

"Marcos offended a nobleman this time, and this matter should not be underestimated." Councilor Deca said, "Pil City needs huge funds from the nobles to hire those inventors to generate value. Once today's incident angers other Nobles, it will be a disaster for Piltover."

"Then, do you have any good suggestions for the punishment of Marcus?" Heimerdinger was afraid that Mel and the others would quarrel again, so he hurriedly made a conclusion.

Hoskall yelled, "Resign him as sheriff, and replace him with someone competent enough!"

First of all, Marcos's public office was given away. Without the identity of the police chief of the Law Enforcement Bureau, Marcos was at best a private entrepreneur. How could he fight them?
"So is there any suitable candidate for Congressman Horskal?" Heimerdinger asked.

"Pan Han and Logan, the two former deputy sheriffs are not inferior to Marcos in terms of seniority and merit, but they were dismissed by Marcos because of some conflicts between them. I think they can be restored to their original positions and then choose from among them. One took over as sheriff," Hoskall said.
