The words fell.
Seeing no response from anyone, others cast him strange glances.
The plump wealthy merchant, his eyes wide open, retorted somewhat indignantly.
"What are those looks for?"
"Why?"
"Do you think that by electing a new leader, it means I, Jill Durant, want to become the leader of Kakasong City?"
"Let me clarify!"
"I am a businessman, all my daily time is invested in managing trade in my personal business firm."
"I don't have the time to manage other affairs."
"Compared to becoming the Lord of Kakasong City, as a businessman, I need a stable and safe environment more!"
"This is the only demand I have for coming to this meeting room!"
Listening to Jill's emphatic explanation.
The people seated on the wooden chairs around the conference table began nodding in agreement.
From Jill's words, they sensed sincerity.
Simo, standing at the head of the table, spoke in agreement.
"Indeed!"
