Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 990 - 612, The Last Day_2

Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be a chance to schedule an appointment.

Rebecca glared at him, beginning to doubt his relationship with Li Rong.

"By the way, what’s the name of this association president?"

"Grigorya, a Fire Elemental Mage with great prestige in the city."

Fang Hao frowned, feeling that this name sounded very familiar...

The carriage proceeded on its way.

It eventually stopped in front of the Mage Association.

Guided by an Attendant.

In a study piled with all kinds of books, they met the Mage ’Grigorya’.

In his fifties, wearing a dark red Mage’s robe with the symbol of the Mage Association on his chest, flames patterns could be seen around the chest and collar.

Fire-red hair showing a few strands of silver, but with eyes that were still sharp, exuding an aura of intimidation.

[Crimson Flame Demon Rider - Grigorya (Orange Tier 3)]

Another Orange-tier hero.

If the Archbishop is also the Orange tier as he guessed.

Then Silver Wing City would indeed have three Orange-tier heroes stationed there.

That sort of prestige wasn’t low at all.

"President Grigorya," he collected his thoughts and greeted with a smile.

"Hmm, take a seat," Grigorya put the book he was holding to one side.

At this moment, an Attendant brought over pastries and hot tea.

Grigorya continued, "I’ve heard about your matter from Li Rong. You hope that the Mage Association will cast its vote for you, right?"

"Yes, President Grigorya, I hope the association will cast this vote for us at the right time," Rebecca said.

"Actually, the association isn’t keen on adding another person to the upper council," Grigorya said bluntly.

Rebecca’s expression changed to an unnatural one in an instant.

But she still said, "Lyss City entering the upper council isn’t detrimental to the association, and we’ll remember the assistance provided to us."

Grigorya thought for a moment, then continued, "After entering the upper council, what do you feel the Mage Association would gain?"

"A lot, naturally. Firstly, an ally in the upper council, the proposals submitted by the association, we will fully support them, and I will, in terms of authority..."

Rebecca and Grigorya began to discuss back and forth with each question and answer.

Meanwhile, Fang Hao sat quietly to the side, not interfering with their discussion.

He recalled in his mind where he had heard the name Grigorya before. During a previous mission? Or in a broadcast?

He had the name in his mind but couldn’t remember.

It was quite a while before Grigorya spoke with an apologetic tone, "Rebecca, I can’t give a definite promise to cast this vote; it will have to depend on the situation at the scene."

Rebecca looked helplessly at Fang Hao.

Promises had been made, and a financial offensive had been suggested.

Still, Grigorya hadn’t made a clear stance, and they were out of options.

Everyone’s stance was different. Perhaps, for the Mage Association, they really didn’t want to see a new upper council member arise.

Fang Hao nodded at Rebecca.

Rebecca forced a smile and said, "That’s alright, then. We won’t disturb you any longer."

"Hmm, take care," Grigorya replied indifferently.

The two of them stood up and left the Mage Association.

...

After exiting the main gate, they boarded the carriage.

Rebecca’s smile turned to disappointment, "Another failure."

"We’ve done our best. If we really can’t make it into the upper council, so be it. We can still develop well internally," Fang Hao consoled.

"You’re both Fire Elemental Mages, but why are you so different in temperament? She’s too difficult to approach," Rebecca muttered.

Fang Hao gave an awkward smile. It’s not the same, he thought. We are candid with each other, naturally easy to approach.

It’s not strange for her not to agree since she hasn’t met you more than twice.

Suddenly, a thought struck Fang Hao.

Ah!! A Fire Elemental Mage... He suddenly remembered where he had heard the name Grigorya before.

...

In the room next to the study.

"President Grigorya, your decision is truly wise," praised Groot loudly beside her.

"Exactly. Her entry into the upper council wouldn’t benefit the Federation whatsoever."

"Yes, I knew President would agree with our stance," added another.

The other councilors nodded in agreement.

Before Fang Hao’s arrival, these people were already there.

They came to discuss the same matter with Grigorya, but their goal was the opposite- to persuade Grigorya absolutely not to approve Rebecca’s entry into the upper council.

They were mid-discussion when Fang Hao and his companion arrived.

Grigorya, in the next study, received the two of them.

Groot and his companions quietly overheard some of their conversation and knew that Grigorya hadn’t agreed to the request.

Even though the conditions Rebecca offered were quite tempting for them as well.

Grigorya glanced at them and said, "Whether she can enter the upper council mainly depends on what the Big Five say. It’s not much related to us, the lower council members."

Compared to Rebecca, Groot and the councilors’ families were more familiar with Grigorya.

The intertwining interests between nobles are complex and hard to unravel.

They all reside in Silver Wing City and naturally interact at times.

Internally, they were more inclined toward Groot’s side rather than Rebecca’s.

"Hmm, I’ve heard a bit about that too. Rebecca has offered benefits to the Big Five of the upper council in exchange for their support," Groot stated.

"Oh? Has anyone agreed?" someone asked.

Groot shook his head, "It’s hard to say. It seems that none of them have outright agreed, but they’re all somewhat interested."
