System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1180 - 323: Kill Bishop Semo (10,000 Words)

The words fell.

Seeing no response from anyone, others cast him strange glances.

The plump wealthy merchant, his eyes wide open, retorted somewhat indignantly.

"What are those looks for?"

"Why?"

"Do you think that by electing a new leader, it means I, Jill Durant, want to become the leader of Kakasong City?"

"Let me clarify!"

"I am a businessman, all my daily time is invested in managing trade in my personal business firm."

"I don’t have the time to manage other affairs."

"Compared to becoming the Lord of Kakasong City, as a businessman, I need a stable and safe environment more!"

"This is the only demand I have for coming to this meeting room!"

Listening to Jill’s emphatic explanation.

The people seated on the wooden chairs around the conference table began nodding in agreement.

From Jill’s words, they sensed sincerity.

Simo, standing at the head of the table, spoke in agreement.

"Indeed!"

"A stable and safe living environment is not just the demand of businessman Jill."

"It is also the demand of all residents of Kakasong City!"

"No one desires war, and no one wishes for war to befall Kakasong City."

Perhaps due to Simo’s identity as a Church Bishop.

The free nobility and wealthy merchants on the wooden chairs nodded to show their response.

Simo continued: "However, war does not stay away just because we don’t wish for it!"

"Even as the worldly agents of God—the Church."

"We have also recruited and formed a fully armed ’Temple Knight’ to protect Church Officials, to discipline heretics or demons from the Abyss..."

"If Kakasong City wants to have a stable and safe life, we must unite and organize all our powers."

"And select a competent person to act as a leader."

"To command all of us and defend Kakasong City!"

At this point.

Simo’s words paused, his gaze turning, scanning across the faces of each free noble and wealthy merchant.

"Who agrees? Who opposes?"

The people exchanged glances, trying to gauge each other’s thoughts.

As they hesitated.

Jill, seated in a wooden chair, suddenly stood up and responded to Simo at the head of the table.

"I, Jill Durant, agree with Bishop Simo’s proposal."

Hearing Jill’s response, everyone’s eyebrows slightly arched.

After a few seconds of silence.

One after another, voices of agreement echoed from their mouths.

"Seconded!"

"Agreed."

"I consent."

"..."

Simo nodded with satisfaction.

The meeting finally entered the process he envisioned.

As long as these free nobility, wealthy merchants, handicraft masters, and scholar physicians in special groups.

Agree to select a highly respected person.

As the leader of Kakasong City.

Then.

As a Church Bishop, having worked hard for the residents and believers of Kakasong City for so many years.

He was naturally the most authoritative and respected figure.

Besides selecting him to become the new leader of Kakasong City.

Simo could not think of anyone else to replace him!

Suppressing his inner thoughts temporarily, Simo spoke to everyone.

"Since everyone believes that Kakasong City needs a new leader..."

"All of you here are dignified figures of Kakasong City."

"As long as you express your stance, you can represent the entire Kakasong City!"

"Given the current situation of Kakasong City, I suggest that instead of choosing another day, let’s make the selection today, how about it?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Jill, sitting in the wooden chair, stood up again and spoke to everyone.

"Everyone, some of you might know my personality, Jill Durant, so I’ll get straight to the point."

"Bishop Simo, as the Church Bishop of Kakasong City, is highly respected, deeply trusted by the city’s residents, and possesses strong management capabilities."

"I believe Bishop Simo is the most suitable candidate to become the new leader of Kakasong City."

"That concludes my statement."

Listening to Jill’s words, Simo smiled gently and said.

"Mr. Gill flatters me, I’m just fulfilling my duties."

With those humble words.

Simo’s gaze again swept over the attendees seated at the conference table, and he continued.

"Mr. Gill’s words only represent his own thoughts and opinions."

"If you have suitable candidates in mind, feel free to speak up."

"We can fully discuss and eventually find the right person to become the new leader of Kakasong City!"

Listening to Simo’s poised and unwavering words, everyone nodded once more.

A middle-aged man in a scholar’s robe proposed.

"I think Monk Ed Nek, who is writing a chronicle, could be elected."

"He is knowledgeable, well-versed in history..."

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking.

Simo, who sat at the head of the table, interrupted him directly.

"Indeed, Monk Ed Nek is knowledgeable."

"But I think compared to managing and governing Kakasong City."

"Monk Ed Nek should focus on writing the chronicle!"

"Only when the chronicle is completed can all events in Kakasong City be preserved in history."

"What do you all think?"

The people seated on the wooden chairs nodded once again.

A young man in a silk satin robe, Harry Cohen, proposed.

"I think we could have Sir Ludovico Dons become the new leader of Kakasong City!"

"Sir Ludovico has his own armed soldiers and also possesses experience in military operations and commanding troops."
