Chapter 310: Chapter 295: The Birth of Nasir City!
A few days later.
In the public square of Nasir City, nearly ten thousand people gathered around, anxiously waiting, as they looked at the white-haired yet still vigorous Byrne Fischer on the stage.
Until today, that man had nearly become the spiritual leader of the many Cyart people on the East Coast. Now, Byrne stood tall on the stage, holding his speech in hand and looking at every citizen around him.
Finally, he spoke very solemnly,
“Today! The Fischer family will officially announce a piece of news, the esteemed Cyart King has already issued an order of approval, from now on, Nasir will cast off its status as a town and officially become a new city in the East Coast Province!”
“We all firmly believe that Nasir City will develop better and better, and every Cyart person will feel proud of this city!”
“From now on, every year on this day, our Fischer family will hold a city celebration for Nasir! People will forever remember this historic and great day!”
After the approval of the Cyart King, Nasir finally shed its title as a town and officially became the third city of the East Coast Province.
In the streets and alleys of the city, people cheered with great enthusiasm.
They excitedly waved flags that symbolized Cyart, fully engaged in the celebration activities, an atmosphere of sheer joy permeating the air, with laughter and cheers weaving into song.
Young people beamed with radiant smiles, they sang and danced, linking arms and joyfully forming circles to sing out loud. Children ran about cheerfully, scattering colorful paper confetti, weaving in and out of the crowds in play.
Every corner of the city was brimming with boundless joy, and even the street vendors joined in the celebration, setting out special promotional products to share the happiness with even more people.
From sunrise to sunset, this city was filled with vitality, its citizens greeting the promise of a wonderful tomorrow with cheers and exuberance.
When night arrived, the festivities were still underway, and Byrne Fischer quietly left the open-air banquet.
“Let’s go.”
He sat in the carriage, with the aging Theo as his coachman.
The carriage moved out.
Night had completely fallen, but Nasir was still celebrating its birth.
The two of them arrived silently at Fischer Manor.
In the great hall of Fischer Manor, most of the family members were already gathered, and seated in the center among everyone was Chris’s daughter, Christine Fischer.
She wore a black dress, sitting in a wheelchair, with Andre standing by her side, alongside those three Purgers.
Andre’s features bore some resemblance to Bast, and Byrne unconsciously glanced at him, shaking his head slightly.
Darren complained, “Do we really have to hold a family meeting today? Isn’t it the city’s celebration day?”
Christine immediately said, “It’s precisely because today is special, and family members will return in full force, that I chose this day to clarify the issues that we’ll be facing next.”
Byrne nodded as well, saying, “I think it’s very necessary.”
“Christine has discovered some issues over the years, issues that our family has overlooked. If it weren’t for her investigation, those problems would have continued to go unnoticed.”
He paused for a moment, then continued, “Today, we gather everyone here to resolve those issues.”
Christine said, “At the end of the day, it’s because we developed too quickly and the corresponding management systems haven’t caught up.”
Vanessa nodded gently in agreement, indeed it was so.
The East Coast had a population of over a million, and they had been in actual control of the entire province for less than a decade; it was natural for various oversights to occur.
Looking at everyone who had arrived, Christine then said to the lead Purger,
“Bring the person over.”
“Yes, Miss Christine.”
The head of the Purgers nodded and then left with the other two. After a little while, they brought an old man who was approaching sixty.
“Who is he?”
“I don’t recognize him at all.”
“Does anyone know who this person is?”
Aside from Byrne, who possessed “Profound Memory,” no one in the Fischer family had any idea who the old man was.
Byrne calmly said, “He is the grandson of John.”
After saying that, he too was slightly stunned; the sea merchant John’s grandson had also become an old man with graying hair, time indeed passed too quickly.
Most people vaguely remembered who John was; their sea merchant family was one of the many smaller families that now followed the Fischer family. The descendants of sea merchant John had never become Proselytes.
As their family had rich experience in sea commerce, and due to the friendship between Byrne and John from years ago, the Fischer family left some of the less important sea business to be managed by people from these smaller families.
