The Disqualified Young Master Will Not Bow to the Villainous Female Lead

"Where have you been these past two days? The congressmen all said they haven't seen you much."

Almost at the same time.

What Crest heard and saw was completely connected with this puppet.

Grand Speaker Milgrom was essentially dead. At this point, his every move, every word, and even the magic power he exuded were all controlled by Crest himself with his spiritual sense.

The object of manipulation was the blood contract that Elliot had just seen.

Puppets that are made to the highest standards and are most lifelike, this level of technology is actually not difficult to find in the Arcane Ring where all things are gathered.

There are many more powerful things in the forbidden art of Curry than this.

Kleist frowned.

Controlling the Grand Chancellor's perspective, he looked at him.

The grandson of the Grand Speaker in front of him, the young congressman who once gave Crest a headache, no longer posed any threat.

As for him, Kleist had already figured out what to do.

Not only does it not pose a threat to oneself, but it will also be beneficial to the next plan.

Then, Elliot naturally started chatting about family matters.

It mainly talks about how much effort Angelina put into pursuing her boyfriend.

"I remember when she was learning the ninth element, she didn't work as hard as she does now."

The councillor smiled wryly.

Then he talked about his own troubles.

He said that he had a new partner. Although the business cooperation was going well, he was always worried about this partner. This feeling was like a thorn in his flesh.

Although the other person's attitude is very positive and friendly, he is also a very talented person.

But there were some things that made me doubt him.

These kinds of casual topics were something they used to chat about.

The old man, who is admired by thousands of people, will take off the cloak of a powerful person at this time and talk about his wisdom in detail.

This is also the reason why Elliot admires the old man even more.

Although he has been at odds with Milgrom recently, he still admires this grandfather who is worthy of being recorded in history from the bottom of his heart.

The same goes for Milgrom. When faced with this outstanding descendant, he would praise him generously.

However, Kleist did not intend to do so.

This serious look reminded Crest of himself when he was young.

It seems that he is also such a cautious, suspicious and ambitious young man.

The parliamentary reforms, policy improvements, etc. that this young man actively promoted are very similar to himself back then.

If I were a hundred years younger, I might really support him.

But it's not possible now.

Kleist is no longer an ordinary old man.

He was a man of steel who withstood the contamination of two Chaos Gods and used ruthless tactics to sever obstacles on the road to power.

Unrealistic fantasies were wiped out of his bones a hundred years ago.

What remains is only the ambition to make the country strong at all costs.

He controlled the body of the Grand Chancellor and sighed heavily:

"Elliot, there's something I have to tell you."

"what?"

"I am old and no longer fit to attend the council. My momentary confusion in the future may ruin the future of the Arcane Ring."

Elliot, who was about to start complaining, froze.

The whole person was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

What's the meaning......?

Too old.....no longer fit to attend Parliament?

But hasn’t the old man already stepped down and stayed behind the scenes?

Does this mean that he wants to retire completely and no longer be involved in the affairs of parliament?

Elliot's first reaction was to immediately ask about his physical condition.

Are you seriously ill?

Crest was a little surprised that he didn't ask whether the position of Grand Speaker would be passed on to him.

But all of Elliot's speculations were denied.

"Then... why?"

"With your body, wouldn't it be easy for you to work for another 20 or 30 years?"

He had political conflicts with Milgrom.

But now, in the entire parliament, only he, Milgrom, can suppress the group of more pedantic old wolves.

Of course, it is precisely because of the old man's appearance that I can express my own thoughts.

If the old man retires and doesn't care about anything, then I will definitely be targeted in parliament.

Elliot then continued: "Then the successor you designated is..."

"It's Kleister."

The hoarse voice of the Grand Chancellor was like a wind organ with sand in it.

His decision was even more unbelievable to Elliot.

"Why?! Haven't you always been worried about his ambitions?"

"What about me? Didn't you say that my current abilities are no worse than any of them?"

"Didn't you say that you would eventually convince other members to elect me as the next Speaker?"

Elliot argued excitedly.

If Kleist is elected, the consequences will be devastating.

Under his rule, the parliament will not have the slightest chance of winning.

"Most members of the current parliament are not enterprising and do not have sufficient awareness."

"As for you..." The puppet glanced at him and shook his head.

"You are still too young. Those words I said before were to coax you and make you confident. In fact, you are still too young. Your empty thoughts will only harm the country."

"The only one who can afford it is Crest."

"But!"

"No buts, I've already made up my mind."

No words could describe the devastation Elliot felt at this moment.

He always thought the old man was proud of him...

Mingming rejected all support from the old man and climbed to his current position with his magical attainments and academic achievements.

But now, he was denied so easily...

Seeing Elliot's stunned look.

Crest just sneered.

This is just the first step, and the torture of this young man is far from over.

Elliot is smart and capable, but unfortunately works against himself.

Then, it can only be regarded as an obstacle on the road to progress.

If he encounters an obstacle, even if he is not killed to silence him, his arms will be crippled so that he can no longer stir up trouble.

As for Elliot, no matter his guild was destroyed or his industry was closed down, he would always be able to make a comeback with his ability.

Just like myself.

So Kleist also knew what was most fatal to him.

The best way is to break his will.

For these idealists who are both capable and motivated, their will is their most powerful asset.

Next, the plan proceeds to the second step.

Kleist controlled the puppet and turned away.

"Kleist, show the guest out."

At this time, Elliot was still in shock.

Although the old man was a bit pedantic, his illness was not too serious. With his extremely high international prestige and political means, there had not been a war or even a conflict in the Arcane Ring for nearly two hundred years.

He visited many countries and shared some of his secret magic in order to increase his international popularity and consolidate the status of the Arcane Ring.

Each of the congressmen is a tough guy, and in order to keep them in check, the old man can be said to have used all his power.

He couldn't imagine what the scene in parliament would be like if the old man retired.

So why pass power to that Kleister?

Why.....

....not myself.

Chapter 13: The Boss Lady

Why not yourself?

Elliot couldn't understand it.

His fists were clenched tightly and his legs were so limp that he couldn't stand up.

After a long while, his hands loosened and the congressman looked at the ceiling weakly.

Elliot has been with Milgrom since he was a child.

Since their parents met with misfortune, Milgrom has become the sole guardian of the siblings.

Elliot knew very well what Milgrom's character was like.

If power is handed over to Kleist, the parliament will be in turmoil. The old man cannot be unaware of this.

Why would he do such a ridiculous thing?

Elliot even had some doubts as to whether this was really a decision the old man could make.

Is it really because my growth has failed to meet his expectations?

The shocking news confused his mind and almost overwhelmed him, so much so that Elliot couldn't help but think that he was not capable of it.

After thinking about it, this is really the only explanation...

to the end.

Elliot even forgot how he walked out of the Speaker's office and was in a daze.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he bumped into Alves who was walking towards him with documents in his arms.

This brought Elliot back to reality from his trance-like state.

Both of them just stumbled and it wasn't a big deal.

But the information in Alvis's hand was scattered all over the floor.

He quickly bent down to pick it up.

This was nothing.
