Chapter 375 - Appointing

“With Qiu Zi dead, we can let this powerful player take his place as leader of the village. He can be our new leader to manage the day-to-day operations within the village!” Zhao Nan Shan looked across the stage at Liu Gan.

Zhao Nan Shan needed a functional society. As long as the society of the village returned back to normal, then it didn’t matter who was leading the village, even if the leader was this player named Liu Gan. His conduct and speech were within reason. His qualities were suitable for a leader, with overwhelming aggression, but controlled emotions.

If this person was willing to remain in the Beginner Village as the leader, then Zhao Nan Shan would have an easier search. The alternative would take a lot longer, since it would involve retraining a new leader.

“You want to let him take over the leader’s position?”

Third, Fourth, and other high ranking Elders were shocked. They were thinking that their Second Elder must have hit his head, so he wasn’t thinking straight. From suggesting to letting the enemy go, to fulfilling enemy wishes, and now this new proposal to appoint him as their leader! That was the tipping point! Who in the right mind would ask the enemy to be their leader? What was he thinking?

With their leader Qiu Zi dead, every player in the village thought that their Second Elder would take up the challenge to go against the intruder. Since Second Elder refused to stand up to avenge Qiu Zi, no one else could overturn Second Elder’s decision to appoint the intruder.

Based on their actions toward this intruder, they feared repercussions once the intruder became the new leader. It wasn’t too long ago that they were still threatening to kill the intruder, and now, there was an abrupt offer to appoint the intruder as the new leader.

“Ah. If it’s like that, then I will head up to greet the player as the new leader! If you want to follow along, then come. I won’t force you to do something against your wishes.” Zhao Nan Shan easily hopped onto the stage. Smiling, he walked right up to Liu Gan.

The discussion between Second, Third, and Fourth Elder were done in private. So no one in the audience knew what to expect when they saw Zhan Nan Shan walk up to confront the intruder. All of a sudden the plaza quieted down as they watch the confrontation and expected a fight.

“Second Elder!” LuLu quickly stood up to greet Zhao Nan Shan.

The true strength of Second Elder was still unknown. Second Elder had always been a mystery to others, since he was rarely seen speaking in public. However, in the situations where Second Elder did speak, even Qiu Zi had to be respectful. So when LuLu saw Zhao Nan Shan, she felt an indescribable episode of shock.

“May I ask for this gentleman’s name?” Zhao Nan Shan ignored LuLu as he greeted Liu Gan respectfully.

“Second Elder, right? You are giving me too much respect. My surname is Liu. As I’ve said countless times before, I am here to save a few friends. As for the tragic events that followed, I didn’t plan for them. Since everything has already happened, I can only express my regret, although I will still need to take my friends with me. So if Second Elder can step aside and make it more convenient for me,” Liu Gan smiled. With kindness and respect shown to him, Liu Gan reciprocated the same attitude. Liu Gan didn’t want to provoke Zhan Nan Shan with any malicious intent.

“Lord Liu has a noble character and gentleman’s integrity. You acted upright and it was our Elders acting rash. I, Zhan Nan Shan, will apologize to Lord Liu! Please forgive us for our offenses!” Zhan Nan Shan starting to speak more formally and modestly.
