Chapter 1768 Nostalgic
The air grew prickly.
Her expression grew ugly. "I-"
"Children."
His declaration was firm.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
He narrowed his eyes, glaring at Chairwoman Veros. "Is this how a cabinet merchant ought to conduct themselves? Complaining like spoiled children every time someone else does it better than them?"
He closed his eyes, shaking his head. "As much as I disliked the late Chairman Deacon, I at least respected him more than I respect any of you. He most certainly would not have sat here complaining. He was a man of action; he would have fiercely gone all out and persevered till he overcame his problems."
He opened his eyes. "I commence the voting process on this agenda. All in favor of motion D48?"
Out of the hundred cabinet merchants, forty of them raised their hands.
Guildmaster Bradt's eyes narrowed. "All against?"
Sixty hands, including Chairwoman Veros', went up.
Guildmaster Bradt closed his eyes, shaking his head softly. "...This cabinet votes against Agenda D48. With no more agendas on the docket, this Cabinet Assembly comes to an end. Meeting dismissed."
Guildmaster Bradt shortly left the Cabinet Assembly Hall, followed by two Martial Masters as he headed to his own office in the guild headquarters.
His eyes narrowed as he found Chairman Decker and his two Martial Senior bodyguards waiting inside.
"Tough luck on that proposal." Chairman Decker remarked as Guildmaster Bradt entered his office.
CLACK
He closed the door behind him. "I don't recall an appointment with you."
Chairman Decker smirked mischievously. "Yes, but you can either kick me out or take a moment to hear out my proposal to you regarding Prince Rui."
Prince Rui Quarrier Kandria went on to become the youngest Martial Senior in history and had reportedly already become a high-grade Martial Senior. He had made enormous contributions to the Martial Union, earning him the position of Senior Ambassador and a seat on the Martial Fiscal Committee of the Martial Union.
While that was alluring in and of itself, he had wanted to wait until Rui at least became a Master.
Now, however, he had changed his mind. With Rui being revealed as a royal prince and clearly the most powerful candidate for the throne, there was no doubt that this was the best moment to try and cash in that favor for some absolutely game-changing benefits for himself exclusively.
Just the thought of it made him inordinately excited
When was the last time he had felt this excited?
'Ah...' An old memory resurfaced in his mind. 'It was when the Voider proposed a partnership that allowed both of us to dominate our respect battles.'
It was rather profound that ten years later, he would feel the same sense of excitement from the exact same person.
"Rui Quarrier Kandria..." The man murmured.
"Hm?" Decker tilted his head.
"Nothing," Guildmaster Bradt shook his head, his attention returning to the proposal by Decker.
He had already made up his mind
"I approve."
"Nice," Decker grinned. "Let's start setting up then."
Guildmaster Bradt nodded. "I'll leave the administrative and managerial establishment to you; I'll lobby the forty cabinet merchants to join the proposed guild."
"Makes sense," Decker nodded. "Let's keep each other posted with standard progress reports. I suppose we have a deal then."
The two men got up, shaking hands before Decker left the room eagerly, ready to immediately begin working on setting up the guild.
Guildmaster Bradt also got to work, determined to make the most out of a lifetime opportunity.
