"That's right. We have to atone for our sins. What we did before was far too wrong."
The Speaker nodded again. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Gather the councilors and prepare for a meeting. Confirm Kara's status as the supreme leader, and prepare a press conference to announce it."
His confidant reminded him, "Speaker, the other councilors may not agree. They may even oppose it."
"Remember the original website domain "
"They will agree. How could they refuse something so righteous? If they refuse, then don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll purge every last one of them."
The Speaker said with a fanatical expression, "They're not good people anyway. Killing them would also be atonement."
Although the confidant's temperament had changed drastically, he was still somewhat speechless at those words. Those people truly were no saints, but the power in their hands was very real. Though the Speaker was nominally the supreme leader, he could not possibly suppress all of them.
The relationship between the Speaker and the councilors was not that of an emperor and his ministers, but of a King and feudal lords. If the King acted tyrannically, the lords could join forces and overthrow him in minutes.
In fact, even an emperor could not simply decide who lived and died among his ministers. Otherwise, why would emperors need to marry so many wives? Was it not all to win over their officials?
"Speaker, why not invite Ms. Kara over and have her and the other superheroes hold the fort? With their help, the councilors won't be able to stir up much trouble."
The confidant suggested this. After considering it, the Speaker said, "That will do. You needn't worry so much. What we're doing is righteous; even heaven will help us. We will definitely succeed."
