It was now noon, and officials came to Pandemonium one after another. Some of them were holding a large stack of documents, while others were chatting left and right.
Today, in 2013, the 504th Presbyterian Assembly was held. Twelve great elders gathered together to discuss the National Assembly. Journalists were already everywhere at the exit. Hell's traffic had increased by a rare 15% today.
Elder 5, representative of the opposition, entered the conference room with the other elders of his faction. Even for such an important meeting, everyone in the opposition was absent-minded. They didn't care about the other party's statements at all. They would not be approved. It seemed that the victory was in hand.
The 11th was a representative of the neutral faction. He and the remaining 2 were neutral elders present. They greeted each other kindly between the two factions. Rather than being a war between the right and wrong, it was more like a choice for them. A perfect choice. They were not the ones who suffered no matter how they did it. They could also profit from it.
The secretary and clerk were also here. They were responsible for recording the meeting and declaring the results.
Within 10 minutes of their arrival, Phenex and his team were delayed. Elder 5 was already impatient. His people began to joke that the enemy was fleeing in the face of danger.
The secretary was also a bit anxious. She was only one minute away from the meeting and occasionally looked at the clock.
"Clap, clack, clack," the hallway outside remembered the sound of heavy footsteps.Suddenly, everyone held their breath and brushed the landlord towards the door.
"Stand up!" said the secretary.
"Long live Satan!" the elders said.
"Long live Satan!" Phexe said.
Finally, President Elder Phexe arrived. Next to him were Britain and Samigina.
"Looks like you got your fish, Samigina," the 11th elder said.
"Luck is prepared for one who prepares,"Samigina said.
"Today ,Lucifer 2014,I declare that the 504th Presbyterian Assembly has officially begun. Please invite representatives from all parties to speak," the secretary said.
"Phexe, have you seen Kassifa's campaign? It was pretty fantastic. I believe in him," the 5th said.
"Beauty comes from danger. You don't know that?" Bratin said.
"Ahh, who the shit are you, Bratin? A dog licks your master's feet. I know what I'm doing,"the 5th said.
"Do you?" Samigina asked.
"Then you, Samigina. What will they promise to give you? You clearly know how powerful Kassifa and Vassago are. Your idea is going to kill us!"
"We are trying to save you! Kassifa controls the government,Vassago controls the military. They both will replace us," Bratin said.
"So what? You know their power. If we find a way to sanction them, how can we win?" the10th said.
"He is right. Let's take a step back and honestly make room. It will be convenient to get along with them in the future. We need to hold back a trick or two," the 3th said.
"If we can find a way to confront them and win, we can certainly agree to your suggestion," the 11th said.
In the corner of the audience, a loud voice was heard, immediately attracting the attention of the entire audience," One piece discarded in order to preserve the overall situation."
"Who's that?" the 5th looked around and asked.
"Hey, hey, hey...."Samigina smiled maliciously.
"The victory of a chess game depends on the utilization of your pieces. It is obvious that Vassago and Kassifa, although they have made significant contributions, pose a threat to our interests. Anyone who dares to threaten our interests will pay the price!" Eligor said.He stood up from the crowd, organized his leader, and walked forward gracefully. He spoke fluently and confidently.
"Who allowed you to enter this place, Eligor?" the 5th said.
"I'd like to hear Mr. Eligor's viewpoint,"Phenex said. His face seemed to become sharper and longer as he spoke. Those bright red eyes were sparkling with energy. His words were sonorous and powerful, and his powerful aura instantly silenced the entire audience once again. Even the fifth elder of the opposition was shocked.
"Thanks, my lord, I have to say that those cowards are no longer suitable for this world. The enemy's teeth are biting your heads, but you are still begging for mercy. I tell you, from now on, half of this hell will be named Kassifa and Vassago! You will be crushed underfoot. You will be forgotten. This world cannot accommodate losers. And I don't want to be familiar!"
"I, cowards? How dare you! I...." the 5th said.
"That's correct! You are not a coward. So is everyone who sits here. Everyone has been fighting in the political workplace for many years, and the truth is clear. Everyone is not against it, we just need a better deal. A business that won't lose or make a profit. Everything comes with a price."
The 11th said, "You mean you have a plan that will bring us a better deal?"
Eligor smiled darkly and said,"I say we kill them!"
His words immediately sparked a fierce argument, and the entire conference room was in chaos. Phenex remained silent, quietly waiting for Eligor's performance.
"Absurd! Kill them? Do you think this is some kind of gang? Can we secretly eliminate our opponents at will? Even if we dare, Vassago holds a heavy army, who is able to kill him?" the 3th said.
"You're right. We killed them. How to explain to Satan and the people?" 11th said.
"Then we do it openly," said Eligor.
"Openly? I am starting to get interested in you," the 11th said.
"Please take a look," Eligor took out a slightly wrinkled piece of paper, with secret hemp names written all over it. Several of them are highlighted in red circles.
"It's a list!""Who are they?" asked "I know!They are Vassago's soldiers,"elders said.
The elders watch the list and talk. "We slander Vassago for treason. This is the spy list of the rebel army. I have already investigated. Those circled names are indeed rebels. I can suspect Vassago's connection with the rebels. You see, most of his important subordinates are spies.The public will naturally believe. And Satan himself certainly does not want one side's influence to be too grand. He likes us to divide our forces equally and constrain each other."Eligor said.
Samigina's mouth involuntarily raises. He looked towards Phenex. Phenex smiled proudly and threw a complimentary look at him. Elder 5 was so angry that his veins erupt and he was stunned. His handed trembled uncontrollably, his lips wiggled slightly but he did not know what to say.
"Now that we have a suitable reason, how can we implement it?" the 11th asked.
"The competitor of Kassifa, Shadow Prince Sitri. We elect him to become a pro guard. He will Lead troops to attack. Vassago has a commander, a talent, but is not highly valued. His name is Paimon. Now he replaces Vassago to command the front line to resist the rebels. Vassago has most of his troops at his disposal. He must be happy to take the position of general. This ensures that there will be no support troops.With these two people, what belongs to us will return!" Eligor said.
Elder 11 applauds excitedly, along with Phenex. The others applaud as well. Elder 11 turns around to look at Phenex while everyone applauds. He nodded and made eye contact with Phenex. It seems to be telling him that you have won this battle.
Next, Elder 11 walked forward and came to Eligor. He looked admiringly at the hungry hunter in front of him. He asked,"Then what did you win?"
"My request is very simple. Promote me to the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs. I am responsible for persuading Sitri and the commander. You just need to vote," Eligor anwsered.
At first, it was a chattering and whispering discussion, then it turned into a normal conversation, and finally it evolved into a fierce argument. Many people looked at Eligor with uncertain eyes. They hesitated and refused to do anything.
At this moment, Elder 3 looked at Phenex again and understood. He stood up. The massive body almost reached the ceiling. He passed through the elders, as if a gust of wind had struck. Everyone stopped discussing and focused on the three people.
"Good deal is it?" Phenex said.
"Deal?"
"I agree!"
The secretary quickly reacted and stood up. As a result, the manuscript was read out loud:
"Elders, please vote on the promotion of Eligor as Minister of Foreign Affairs and the election of Sitri as pro guard."
"Agree."
"Agree."
"Oppose."
....
"Oppose."
"Agree."
"The voting is over. The voting results were now read out. There are a total of 6.5 affirmative votes and 6 negative votes. The majority of affirmative votes are invalid, and the opposition is invalid. The 504th Presbyterian Assembly has ended."
