Chapter 1856 - The Opportunist (2/2)
At this rate, even if Councilman Nan did win the election, the leaders of the city would still be against Councilman Nan. They would have trouble passing the motions for their proposals, unless Councilman Nan was somehow able to convince even more people to join his side!
The rest of the votes were cast as the people finally made up their minds. Councilman Nan was supposed to win the election by five votes, but after the two votes from Mo Fan, the betraying vote from Lu Bin, and those from a few others who changed their minds…
The final outcome was… Councilman Nan had fourteen votes, while Councilman Ming Jian had sixteen.
Councilman Ming Jian had won by two votes!
“I”m sorry, when I recall how the Honorable Councilman stepped forward when the city was in grave danger, I could not help but put my trust in him,” an aged Hunter bowed to Councilman Nan as he spoke.
Li Dong was initially standing behind Councilman Nan. He was hoping Councilman Nan would teach Mo Fan a lesson on his behalf, but for some reason, he was slowly moving toward Mo Fan instead.
“I still have some evidence with me. It might not be conclusive, but you might find it useful… Brother Mo Fan, I’ll give you the evidence if you need it. I can give you a ride back too if you need,” Li Dong spoke to Mo Fan softly.
Mo Fan glanced at the fawning smile on Li Dong’s face. He was seriously impressed by how shameless the man could be as an opportunist!
“Councilman Nan, there’s no need to hold back. Emotions are meant to be displayed on your face. Otherwise, what’s the difference between your face and your butt? You don’t have to pretend you’re enjoying it when you’re slapped in the face…” Ming Jian rose to his feet and patted Councilman Nan on the shoulder.
Regular expressions were no longer suitable to describe Councilman Nan’s face. The man’s face was on the verge of crying, raging, and exploding. It was twisting out of shape. Everyone could tell he was about to lose his mind, like he was being driven crazy!

Mo Fan let out a relieved sigh after leaving the building.
“Honorable Councilman, thanks for upholding justice. Please let me know if I can be of any help,” Ming Jian said while they were going down the stairs.
“Just don’t mess the city up,” Mo Fan replied.
“Don’t you worry about it, if you aren’t pleased when you come back for an inspection, you can impeach me at any time. I will not complain,” Ming Jian declared.
Mo Fan nodded. Meanwhile, Wen Xia quickly caught up to Mo Fan and said, “Someone is looking for you. It sounds urgent!”
Mo Fan took over the phone with a confused face. He immediately heard Lingling’s voice on the other end.
“Mo Fan, the military took all the Manta Ray Evil Birds away!” Lingling said.
“Took them? Weren’t they supposed to eliminate them!?” Mo Fan blurted out.
“I have no clue, the soldiers said it’s an order from their superiors to capture the Manta Ray Evil Birds instead… Those guys haven’t given up on taming those corrupted creatures. Damn it, I wouldn’t have used the Anesthetic Seaweed if I knew beforehand!” Lingling swore.
“Those Manta Ray Evil Birds even turned against the Bird Emperor. There’s no way they can be tamed… damn it, I’ll drag Councilman Nan over and ask him in person!” Mo Fan said.
Mo Fan was seriously mad. The threat of the Manta Ray Evil Birds was supposed to be taken care of. To his surprise, those people still thought they could use the corrupted species. The Manta Ray Evil Birds were obviously untamable and invasive!
