Chapter 194 Aroma
Chapter 194 Aroma
"I think we should change someone to be the leader."
After taking a look at the vacant main seat, a middle-aged man with a somewhat plump figure looked around at the people around the long table, and then said with a smile:
“Although this organization was founded by Mr. Nathan and we were brought together by him, everything will change.
In my opinion, Mr. Nathan is no longer suitable to lead us. What do you think? "
"What are you thinking? I don't think about anything!"
After the wealthy middle-aged man finished speaking, the bald woman who was playing with the slingshot snorted and said with dissatisfaction in her eyes:
"The leader is always the leader. He saved my life and helped me get my abilities. I don't care what others think of me. I only recognize him!"
"Normal. Very normal."
The wealthy middle-aged man was not surprised by the bald woman's attitude. He nodded at her and then explained with a smile:
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to deny Lord Nathan’s achievements. All of us have benefited from him to some extent, even me who hopes to find a new leader.
But whether you are willing to admit it or not, Mr. Nathan has grown old. In the past two years, he is no longer as perfect and always right as he was in the past. Instead, he has started to make stupid moves frequently. "
When he said this, the smile on the wealthy middle-aged man's face faded slightly, replaced by a somewhat sad expression, and said in a depressed mood:
“We were all fine in the past few years, but after the failed assassination attempt on the prince at the beginning of the year, Samantha was arrested and the anomaly bandage was taken away by the Cleanup Bureau.
Then, Barton, who was lurking in the BIA, was blocked in the BIA by a cleaner named Leon Ryan in order to cover the evacuation of Samantha and the others, and he never came back.
Later, Lord Nathan led his men to seek revenge and sent David to sneak into the ceremony of inheriting the title, intending to use [Heart-Stirring Moment] to launch a surprise attack on Leon Ryan, but in the end he was also defeated by the Cleanup Bureau and it is estimated that he will never be able to come back.
Compared to the past few years, after losing three companions in a row, this originally crowded long table has now become empty in a corner. "
"..."
Unlike before, this time after the wealthy middle-aged man finished speaking, he looked at the three empty chairs around him, and the rioters around the long table suddenly fell silent. Even the bald woman who was the "leader" did not speak out in opposition at this time.
"Everyone, I admit that Mr. Nathan has indeed contributed a lot in the past, but is our contribution less?"
After waiting for a while, he felt that the crowd's attitude seemed to have loosened a little. The expression on the wealthy middle-aged man's face changed again. He pointed at the old woman and the little girl opposite him, and slammed the table in anger and said:
“No one else will tell you how much Lucy and Phoebe have sacrificed for everyone over the years.
When they first joined us, they were all young and beautiful, but because of frequent use of their abilities, they have been deteriorating as they get older. Their intelligence is not even as good as that of a five or six-year-old child, and they can't even speak a complete sentence clearly.
Although Lucy is better than her, she has become an old woman now. She is not even thirty years old, but her physical fitness is not as good as that of people in their seventies or eighties. If we really talk about their efforts, are they less than Nathan? "
"Okay, stop beating around the bush!"
As everyone around the long table remained silent, a man covered in burns snorted and said impatiently:
"Oliver, why don't you just say that you want to replace Nathan and become the leader yourself!"
"I do have that idea."
After hearing what the burned man said, the anger on the face of the wealthy middle-aged man disappeared, revealing an expression of joy that could not be concealed, and then said excitedly:
"Do you remember? When we first joined, our goal was to take revenge on everything that had driven us to this dead end! To destroy this kingdom full of rotten sores! To prevent our tragedy from happening again and again!
Instead of wreaking havoc everywhere for no apparent reason, fighting with the military, the House of Representatives, the nobility, the Chamber of Commerce, and other tough guys one after another! Nor was it to provoke that extremely troublesome cleanup bureau!
So everyone, now is the time to change," said the middle-aged man, after his expression went through a cycle of "joy-sorrow-anger-joy" and then returned to his cheerful look at the beginning. He stood up and suggested with a smile:
“I feel that Lord Nathan is no longer the same person he was in the past two years, and is even less suitable to be our leader.
We must make changes now while there is still time! If we allow Lord Nathan to act recklessly, it will be too late!"
"I agree!"
As soon as the wealthy middle-aged man finished speaking, the burned man who had just been impatiently confronting him raised his hand without hesitation and was the first to express his support.
"I don't agree with Oliver being the leader, but I agree with someone else taking the position."
Facing the surprised looks from the rioters, the burned man licked his lips and squinted his eyes and said:
"I don't care whether it's changed or not, or whether it's too late or not. I think Nathan is not fit to be the leader, mainly because compared to when I met him, he no longer has that scent."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
After glaring at the burned man who was even more stupid than her, the bald woman stood up and scolded with a dissatisfied look on her face:
"What kind of fragrance does the leader have? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Of course!"
After glancing at the bald girl with disdain, the burned man snorted and said:
"It's normal that you can't smell it. That's the scent of the strong! Naturally, only powerful people like us can smell it!
This fragrance belongs to the strong, the kind of smell that believes that as long as he is still alive, even if all his bones are broken, he can still stand up again and bite his opponent to death with his teeth!
The reason why I joined was because I was attracted by Nathan's style. I felt that he could definitely do what he said, so I was willing to listen to him! "
“But in the past two years, every time we carried out a big operation, he would be alone for a while, and when he came back, the smell on his body was a little weaker, and he became more and more hesitant and decadent.
After the succession ceremony, his smell changed again. Now he smells like a young antelope that was abandoned before it was weaned! Weak! Stinky! "
"..."
After listening to the burned man's somewhat confusing speech and barely understanding what he meant, the rioters couldn't help but look at each other. Even the bald girl put away her annoyance, bit her lip and sat back in her chair.
The "smell of strength" that the burned man described should probably be called confidence if it were described in a less "fauvist" way.
Compared with the confident leader in the past, the current Lord Nathan seems to reveal an inexplicable sense of decadence.
Just like the giant in the myth who pushed the stone to the top of the mountain, but watched the stone fall back into the valley again and again, the current leader seemed to have really lost the confidence that he could change everything compared to the past...
Is it really time to get a new leader?
……
"Suck……"
Just as the rioters fell into silence, a loud inhalation sound suddenly came from the house.
After stretching his nostrils that looked like two black holes and greedily sniffing the air without any change, the burned man kicked away the chair, stood up, and looked outside with squinted eyes.
"Tiger! A tiger looking to hunt has come in! It smells so good!"
