Chapter 219: City Master Selection, Concerns
Chapter 219: City Master Selection, Concerns
The City Lord’s Mansion, inside the courtyard.
Waves of ghosts arrived and stood in the yard.
Among them, many are well-known figures in Gray City.
When they went to the major streets, ghosts such as street managers would greet them respectfully and keep their heads down.
There are many ghosts like this here.
There are also some powerful ghosts that exude a terrifying aura.
They are the masters of the Caigui family, and each of them is very capable.
Most of them, compared with the ghosts in the Half-Ghost Organization, are only inferior to the strongest Chun Ye and Monkey Uncle.
The most powerful group, their strength is no weaker than Chun Ye and Monkey Uncle.
This is the foundation of the Caigui family.
If the ghost of wealth had brought a few ghosts with him to protect him, he would not have been assassinated in the street.
Inside the city lord's mansion.
The old city lord kept tracking the time and saw that half an hour had passed.
He asked the secretary ghost: "How many ghosts from the Wealth Ghost Family have arrived?"
Secretary Ghost said, "I have a total of 539 ghosts, 503 of which have arrived, and 36 ghosts have not yet arrived."
The old city lord snorted coldly: "Ha! After so much time, even if it's on Ninth Street, you can still come back here."
The Secretary Ghost whispered, "Most of those who haven't arrived are the former subordinates of the Fortune Ghost."
"There are ghosts from our family, and there are also strong ghosts that have just been recruited from outside and have not yet been fully integrated into the family."
"According to our investigation, they are very likely related to the death of Caimou Gui, so they dare not come."
"There are a few more, from the two people who rushed down the car outside the city just now."
The old city lord sighed and said, "I know they probably don't have enough brains and are being taken advantage of."
"If they come over, it means they still care about me as the head of the family and have the intention to repent. I can let bygones be bygones."
"But if they don't come, then there will be enemies behind them. I will announce that they will be expelled from the family in a moment!"
The secretary's expression changed slightly: "Is this too decisive? Otherwise, give them another chance to turn back?"
The old city lord: "This is the path they chose themselves. There is no chance anymore."
These ghosts must be eliminated, otherwise if they are allowed to cause trouble within the Caigui family, this place will soon become a mess.
The Caigui family had no experience in dealing with this kind of internal enemy.
After tidying up his appearance, the old city lord walked towards the city lord’s mansion.
Soon, the originally noisy courtyard became quiet and began to wait for the old city lord to speak.
The old city lord said in a deep voice: "Now, the situation in Gray City has reached a critical moment of survival."
"Those ghosts hiding in the dark are not only powerful, but also able to assassinate the wealth ghost and then escape unscathed."
"And he is smart and is spreading all kinds of rumors to undermine the internal unity of our Caigui family."
"Under such circumstances, we must not fight among ourselves and must maintain unity. Otherwise, our Caigui Family may face a catastrophe!"
"I am definitely not exaggerating!"
"Just like today, even though I issued the order from the head of the family, thirty-six ghosts from our Caigui family didn't show up at the scene!"
"Among them, some are victims, but some betray us..."
As the old city lord continued his speech, the geniuses in the yard began to realize the seriousness of the problem.
Unexpectedly, the situation had developed to such a dire state without us noticing!
Originally they thought that the Caigui family was still the giant family that no one in Gray City could rival.
Unexpectedly, within just a few days, a force capable of challenging the Caigui family emerged!
Most ghosts still have a sense of belonging to the wealthy ghost family.
Moreover, they also enjoy many benefits by virtue of this identity.
They naturally wanted to maintain the status of the Caigui family. Only in this way could they enjoy the coolness under the shade of the trees.
Finally, the old city lord talked about the most crucial content: "The most important thing now is the selection of the next city lord. I believe this is also something that many ghosts are concerned about."
"Originally, the position of city lord belonged to the Fortune Ghost, but unfortunately, the Fortune Ghost met with an unfortunate death."
"At the same time, the money-grubbing ghost was also killed."
"Then, the next city lord will be chosen from among the other ghosts."
"The city lord will be selected through voting this time."
"Now, anyone who is willing to run for the city lord can sign up. We will vote on the spot to select the next city lord!"
"This is the fairest choice for the current situation. I hope that no matter what the result is, everyone in the Caigui family will accept it." "Everyone will do their best to assist him, help him, and protect him."
"I believe that even if he has some shortcomings, he will eventually grow into a qualified city lord!"
The ghosts from the Caigui family never expected that the old city lord would play such a trick.
They actually chose to use voting to determine the next city lord!
This kind of thing is quite rare in the Caigui family.
The head of the wealthy ghost family and the city lord are usually appointed by the previous head of the family and the city lord, and other ghosts can only accept them.
Unexpectedly, the old city lord did not make a direct appointment this time!
Soon, a lively voting election began in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
I worked for most of the night before I finally decided on the final result.
……
……
Real world, Lucheng.
Three days have passed since Zhan Shen left the "Shared Rental" copy.
At first, the members of the Countermeasures Bureau thought that Su Ming would come out soon.
Because the interval between Zhan Shen and Zhang Tieshu coming out was very short.
After Zhang Tieshu and the anxiety patient came out, Zhan Shen came out the next day.
What they thought was that Su Ming would most likely be able to leave the dungeon the day after Zhan Shen came out.
As a result, there was no news the day after Zhan Shen left.
On the third day, there was still no news.
Until the fourth day, when the branch meeting started, there was still no news of Su Ming's return.
This made the members of the Lucheng Countermeasures Bureau increasingly worried.
This matter was mentioned every day during the three-day meeting.
Today, the think tank members asked again: "Three days have passed. Did Boss Su Ming encounter any difficulties in the dungeon?"
"According to nationwide statistics, more than 90% of nightmare-level challenge dungeons will not take this long."
"Zhan Shen, Zhang Tieshu and Li Si, have you recalled more details during this period of time?"
Facing the familiar questions again.
Zhan Shen and the other three felt helpless.
In just three short days, they have been asked this question no less than ten times by different people.
They had already recalled in their minds countless times what had happened in the copy.
Everything that can be said has already been said, and there is really nothing new to say.
Zhan Shen could only answer again: "I really can't remember anything."
"We are just as concerned about Boss Su Ming's situation as you are."
"However, we still believe that Boss Su Ming will definitely not fall in this instance just like that."
"I guess he is definitely trying to find a way to complete this nightmare-level challenge perfectly and completely resolve it."
"If it's just a matter of clearing the customs like we did, it wouldn't be difficult for the boss at all, and he would be able to get the ticket easily."
"If the boss sees that the situation is not good, he will definitely find a way to leave."
"So, there is no need for you to worry too much. No news is the best news."
Zhao Benkuan took a deep puff of the cigar, swallowed the smoke directly, and exhaled it through his nose.
Then he said, "Zhan Shen is right. It's no use for us to be anxious here."
"Let's still have some confidence in Su Mingduo."
"If you are really anxious, then make more plans and prepare for failure in the dungeon raid."
"This way, even if a worse situation occurs, we won't be caught off guard."
Chen Jiu from the think tank continued: "We have already prepared the relevant plans and have performed them many times."
"For things that we can control, we will definitely strive to do our best!"
