No one answered. Someone counter-questioned, "Councilor Groot, what's your opinion?"
Groot, this year's representative councilor of the Federal Commerce Association, and at the same time, an important member of the Marshall family.
In this Federation of Hundred Cities, he still commands a certain level of influence and status.
Groot pondered for a moment, then spoke up, "The nominee is Fang Hao from Lyss City, but as everyone is well aware, it's actually Rebecca. Disregarding whether she poses a threat to the Federation, once she enters the upper house, the entire assembly's situation will change, and everyone will be affected."
With that said, everyone present understood.
Groot intended to prevent Rebecca from entering the upper house.
And rightly so, at last year's autumn assembly, Groot publicly accused Rebecca of over seventy offences.
Only, there were oversights at the time, and no valid evidence was produced.
The charges did not stick.
