If Su Li does not pay the bribe, how can he expect others to pay? If no one pays, how will they complete their tasks? If everyone refuses to pay the bribe, what is the point of the Electorate Council expanding the Border Prince's Territory?
Every act of corruption is not merely an individual's choice; it involves massive political interests behind it.
Therefore, they act fearlessly. This year, the number of Pioneer Lords stuck without noble promotions in the Border Prince's Territory has increased dramatically, possibly approaching a hundred.
Su Li is just an ordinary member among these hundred people, while Helmuth, for the sake of face, conceals his humiliating experience in Hesse Territory without detailing Su Li's specific response to him.
Others merely believe Su Li to be a common issue-plagued Lord, just unwilling to bribe.
