Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

"Even if you become the Minister of Internal Affairs and stop the Peace Church and the Steam Council, can you stop these things from happening?"

In order to get Randy to cooperate, Wu Chang planned to use moral coercion against Randy.

Randy was the first-generation leader of the Secret Magic Knight Order, a descendant of the old Anderson, whose moral caliber could illuminate the entire Saint George’s Church with the Lake Light Holy Sword in hand.

If the Lake Light Holy Sword symbolizes purity, honor, and perfection, then the old Anderson is the perfect template of knightly spirit.

As a descendant of the old Anderson, Randy’s family, though sealing away Extraordinary Power, inherited Anderson’s moral purity and upholds the pure knightly spirit.

It was the powerful sense of justice and the mission to help the weak that kept Randy confined in the Moonlight Sanatorium, refusing to abandon the townspeople.

Such a person is best suited for moral coercion.

Wu Chang’s words made Randy downcast; he said helplessly, "Even Prime Minister Ron and Her Majesty Olivia can’t solve these problems, what can I do?"

Wu Chang waved his hand, saying, "What you can do isn’t important; whether you want to solve all this matters."

He revealed the situation speculated on with Raventon, directly presuming the Conservative Faction as suspects in the Prime Minister’s assassination to Randy.

"Randy, whether it’s the Liberal Party or Conservative Party, old nobles or new nobility, they all treat the lower class as tools, tools for extracting wealth or partisan struggles, and no one truly cares about their future."

"So, now answer me, do you want to change all this that you see?"

Randy hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to change all this."

Wu Chang pretended not to hear and said, "Mr. Randy, what did you just say?"

This time, Randy didn’t hesitate and said, "I want to change all this."

Wu Chang shook his head, saying, "If this is the volume you use, your determination won’t be apparent."

This time Randy shouted, his voice venting his unwillingness, "I want to change all this!"

According to the original flow, Wu Chang should have added, "Didn’t you eat? Voice so small yet you want to change everything?"

But Randy’s voice was so loud that it buzzed his head, and Raventon was rendered temporarily deaf, digging at his ears with his fingers.

Seeing this, Wu Chang could only shout along, "Good, very spirited!"

"But determination alone is not enough; Julie said it right. If you want to do something, you must first acquire the Power that matches it."

"Only by becoming Prime Minister can you have the power to change all this."

Talking about running for Prime Minister, Randy’s emotions cooled slightly, and he said:

"You’ve been in the New World for too long, you don’t understand Stilan; running for Prime Minister is not that easy, I..."

Wu Chang interrupted: "Now the Liberal Party and Conservative Party are clashing fiercely, and under Conservative manipulation, your biggest competitor, Prime Minister Glad, has already declared defeat in advance."

"In front of you, the only competitors left are among the three ministers: the Foreign Minister, backed by the Conservative Faction, and the Chief Justice."

"Both the Foreign Minister and Chief Justice lean towards the Conservative Faction; to avoid being completely overpowered by the Conservative Faction, once Glad’s election hopes are dashed, a significant part of the Liberal Party will opt to support you."

"Moreover, I’ve reached an agreement with Her Majesty Olivia; I exchanged my accomplishment of stopping the great stench for Her Majesty’s support for you as Prime Minister."

Randy was stunned after hearing this, not knowing how to respond, "Why did you..."

Wu Chang’s expression turned serious and said, "Because I believe only you can change Stilan. Randy, now answer me again, are you willing to run for Prime Minister."

Seeing Wu Chang’s strong belief in him, going to such lengths, Randy was filled with emotion and immediately said:

"I am willing to run for Prime Minister!"

Wu Chang said contentedly, "Very good, say it again altogether, are you willing to run for Prime Minister, do you want to change all this?"

Randy shouted, "I am willing to run for Prime Minister! I want to change all this!"

Wu Chang said, "Very well, once more, with determination!"

As Wu Chang and Randy shouted energetically, Raventon looked at the scene reminiscent of a cult rally, covering his ears and doubting life.

To his impression, Randy was always unsmiling and mature, never had he seen Randy so thrilled and excited.

Raventon begrudgingly suspected whether Wu Chang had requested that miraculous pharmacist who could resolve the great stench to concoct a potion that controlled people’s minds.

Covering his ears, he backed out of the room.

No matter what potion Wu Chang gave Randy, if he didn’t leave soon, he would have to find that Divine Tongue to concoct a medicine to heal his ears.

While Wu Chang built Randy’s confidence and increased his resolve to run for Prime Minister, the Conservative Party on the other side wasn’t idle either.

In an unassuming vacation estate in the Grimland West District, Nestor sat in the study, awaiting the upcoming meeting.

The estate owner was the Marquis Robert Gascogne; Marquis Gascogne had another identity, the current Chief Justice of Stilan.

Of course, as Chief Justice and the most promising Prime Minister candidate presently, Gascogne wouldn’t risk meeting with Nestor.

As the study door opened, Brook, a core Conservative figure who once served as Colonial Affairs Minister, walked into the room.

Brook smiled at Nestor and said, "Mr. Nestor, you’ve done very well, not failing Mr. Gascogne’s long-standing support."

"But now is not the time to rest; you must rouse another large strike, forcing Glad to make a choice."

Nestor was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and then said:

"No, we’ve done enough for you; unless you acknowledge the Charter Movement’s request first, we won’t help you do anything."
