"It is now your time for your matters," the governor said before turning to Aria and Vernon. "Kugelblitz first."
"Thank you, sir," Vernon said with a smile while standing up.
"The number of people paying their contributions via their blood has dropped by 2.4% this year," Vernon said. "While that is a great matter for the health of the city, it makes it more difficult for our Heroes to grow stronger."
"At the same time, according to several studies Kugelblitz has performed, the objective value of a credit has decreased by almost 4% within the last year."
"Therefore, we would like to ask the city to increase the taxes of the outer layer of the Outer City by four to five credits," Vernon said.
Nick's eyes widened, and he almost felt like he had been thrown into an icy cold pool of water.
Vernon had just asked the governor to raise the taxes for the people of the Dregs!
