"Ah... This head looks really aesthetic hanged up on that spot, what monster or demon is that?" Mr. Thomas asked, a bit swayed too far from their original purpose of the meeting.
"Oh, that head belonged to a Hua Pi Yao, it was brought back by one of our princesses. Seriously, I still can't accept such a fine lady as her would hug a bloody severed head to sleep." said Chris who doesn't seem to have any intention to pull the conference back to track.
"A Hua Pi? That's quite rare. But if it's really a Hua Pi's head, that fine-looking face of it should belong to its victim, what a disturbingly beautiful piece of art." said Mr. Thomas.
"I know right? Anyway, back to what we discussed just now... You don't seem to be quite agreeing about it, care to tell me your opinion? Maybe we can adjust it a bit." said Chris, finally back to the main purpose of the conference.
"Well... I understand your concern, but I believe you are aware that everything has two sides right? Same as the issue we are discussing right now. In order to ensure the right of the cell donor for the clone production, the previous chairperson had signed a permanent written agreement to not treat a clone as a separate unique individual, and instead, they will be treated as an object with no basic rights. I thought you were supposed to know about that." said Mr. Thomas.
"Yeah, I know but did you not remember why the previous chairperson got demoted? And you certainly know that I am against this whole clone things since the beginning, and only compromise so that the existing clones wouldn't get mercilessly 'discarded', right?" said Chris, in a stern tone while remained his composure.
"Yes, I am well aware of that and I can guarantee to you that I disagree with the deed of the previous chairperson for creating a clone factory to produce clone army squads. However, after all those years, these clone armies had became the main military power of Alliance and it is impossible to demolish the whole thing in a short time frame. While for the right of the clone, we had been doing our best to ensure that they are getting a better treatment but at the same time we need to ensure that it doesn't clash with the right of the original cell donor." said Mr. Thomas.
"I understand your difficulty, which is why I called you here for a proper meeting to see if I could help you with these problems you are facing right now. For the military issues, I wouldn't mind sending a whole squad of our elite fighters from the Kingdom for Alliance to slowly replace the clone army production. As for the right of the existing clones... Well, as long as you have the name list for the original cell donors, it shouldn't be that hard to solve, with the influence of the Kingdom, that is if you don't mind some intervention from the Kingdom towards Alliance." said Chris, who sounds like a scheming tyrant, even with that orange shaped eye patch on his right eye.
Hearing Chris's suggestions, Mr. Thomas remained silenced without saying anything, he looks a bit troubled.
"It's okay, you don't really need to give me the answer for now, but please consider my suggestion, I'll be looking forward to our collaboration in the future. Now then, let's talk about something lighter. I heard that the technology team in Alliance is currently researching on a nanobot project, are you generous enough to tell me a bit of it?" said Chris, switching the topic really fast.
Mr. Thomas nodded and followed the flow of the topic changes...

Meanwhile, Quill Town, Cathedral.
Maria and Dominic have got out of the basement and are now having some casual talk.
"Hmm... It's rather hard to believe that you actually won the battle arena tournament along with Chris and his friends. Is Chris alright now? I remembered the special news for the tournament reported that he was badly harmed by a cheating member." said Dominic.
"Uncle Dominic, don't worry, he had fully recovered from that injury. But seriously, I really never expected that you would actually pay attention to such an entertainment type of things." said Maria, kind of curious.
"Well, a lot of issues have been raised from that tournament, so I have no choice but to pay attention to it. But it's still quite fascinating to find you all participated in that tournament and won the first place... Hmm? The teapot is empty." said Dominic as he tried to pour some tea from the teapot but found out it was empty.
"Uncle Dominic, do you want some tea? Let me brew a new pot for you." said Maria as he stood up, took the tea pot, and left the room.
A few minutes later, Maria returned to the room with a pot of newly brewed tea.
"Uncle Dominic, your previous assistant had been brought away by the Kingdom for some time now, don't you plan to hire a new assistant?" Maria asked.
"Well, I have thought about it but can't find any suitable candidate that is competent enough for all the assigned jobs." said Dominic, rather troubled.
"Hmm... This can be quite troublesome. Hey! Uncle Dominic! I have a suggestion. How about we held a recruitment session to find a qualified candidate for your assistant?" Maria asked, who sounds slightly excited.
"Uhm... Is that even necessary?" Dominic asked.
"Don't worry, Uncle Dominic, I am good at organizing this sort of event, you only need to choose a suitable candidate from all the potential participants, I promise." said Maria, who sounds like an extrovert that was trying to convince an introvert to attend a public event.

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
