Infinite Travel: I know a lot of goddesses

Chapter 1043! Adding fuel to the fire

(The chapter I owed yesterday has been completed)

……

Facing Charles's exasperated questioning, Morgan said, as in the original plot: "Mark has devoted his life to the Lighthouse. Isn't this the arrangement of the Lord of Light and Shadow?"

Just such a short sentence made Charles speechless. After all, Morgan brought out the Lord of Light and Shadow, and he was the head of the Church of Light and Shadow. If he objected again, how would the believers of the Church of Light and Shadow view him?

In fact, regarding this scene, or regarding Morgan giving the position of city lord to Mark, Shen Ye always believed that Morgan was fair and just at this time. Although Morgan sometimes favored his son and, together with others, formulated the three inhumane laws, he was indeed thinking about the future of the lighthouse.

So this is why later, when Mark was being targeted everywhere, he would risk going to the ground to find medicine to save Morgan. He still very much recognized Morgan's contribution to the lighthouse.

However, if it weren't for the little yellow-haired Charles, Mark's succession to the position of city lord would be a foregone conclusion. After all, with his prestige, he is the only choice for the city lord.

But the little yellow-haired Charles is a person with a strong desire for power and a great need for recognition from others. Since he was rescued by the so-called Lord of Light and Shadow, he has always believed that he is the savior. However, Mark's performance is too outstanding, resulting in others thinking that he has always lived in Mark's shadow...

Of course, maybe that's what he thought.

A person who is extremely eager to be recognized by others will usually become inferior due to his or her ability, and then begin to envy people who are more capable than him or her, which will gradually make him or her narrow-minded.

"I am the savior of mankind, Mark, he is nothing."

Although Morgan blocked his mouth with the Lord of Light and Shadow, he became more and more angry, and his face began to become distorted. He shouted in his heart while staring at the city lord Morgan.

At this moment, Shen Ye, who was watching the excitement among the wasteland hunters, noticed his expression. Originally thinking of watching the excitement and getting involved, or perhaps just wanting to piss off Charles, he suddenly shouted, "I support Mark to be the city lord."

His sudden shout immediately silenced the platform, and then...

"I also support Captain Mark to be the city lord."

"Captain Mark has been leading the wasteland hunters to collect supplies on the surface for many years. No one is more qualified than him."

"You're right. Captain Mark becoming the city lord is absolutely what everyone wants."

"Support Captain Mark."

"..."

With Shen Ye taking the lead, many people also started shouting. At first, it was only the wasteland hunters, but later, many superiors from other departments, and even some superiors who joined the Light and Shadow Association, also voiced their support.

When these voices supporting Mark reached Charles' ears, a ferocious look appeared on his already distorted face.

But it must be said that although he was narrow-minded, he was also a very rational person. After noticing that Morgan, who had been looking down at him on the podium, had a strange expression on his face, he actually forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.

He looked up at Morgan, his eyes showing neither joy nor sadness. "Lord, may I ask when Captain Mark will take over as Lord?"

Morgan looked at Charles, who had suddenly regained his composure, with a flicker of surprise in his eyes, but he still answered his question: "If there are no objections, the City Lord succession ceremony will be held in seven... well, ten days."

"Ten days?" Charles lowered his head, hiding the gleam in his eyes.

"Ten days is enough."

“Mark, I will never let you take the position of city lord.”

"And those who support you, I won't let any of them go."

"Then... let's start with the guy named Shen Ye."

……

The news that Mark was about to succeed the city lord quickly spread throughout the lighthouse, so that when people saw him, whether they were ordinary people or common people, they would stop and greet him respectfully.

If Elon had not just left the lighthouse for the journey ceremony today, the hunters who supported Mark the most might have celebrated, but even so, they could not suppress the smiles on their faces.

But when some are happy, others are sad... No, it should be jealousy.

After returning to the law firm of the Church of Light and Shadow, Charles yelled like crazy in his office.

"Why, why, why."

"What kind of person is Mark? He's just a brainless fool."

"I, Charles, am the true savior, the future of the Lighthouse, no, the future of mankind."

Just as he was venting his dissatisfaction in his room, there was a knock on the office door, and he, who seemed to have completely lost his mind just now, calmed down again.

He sat at his desk and said calmly, "Come in."

Immediately afterwards, the high-ranking members of the Church of Light and Shadow, led by the Lightbringers Vanti and Fanlu, came in one after another. They were all die-hard members who were "loyal" to him.

"Fanti, how are you doing with the things I asked you to do these days?"

Although Charles asked Vanti to find trouble with Shen Ye as soon as he had the chance a week ago, as the head of the Light and Shadow Church, he was usually quite busy, and he always trusted his right-hand men, so he didn't ask. But today, Shen Ye's behavior of taking the lead in supporting Mark once again ignited his anger, so he brought it up again.

"I'm sorry, Master, he usually stays with the scavengers, so it's difficult for me to have any chance to cause trouble for him." Vanti said with her head lowered. Of course, even if she didn't lower her head, with her mask on, Charles couldn't notice the coldness in her eyes.

At today's long journey ceremony, she stood behind Charles. Of course, she knew what Charles wanted to do, but now she considered herself Shen Ye's woman. In addition, she also began to be dissatisfied with the system of the Lighthouse. Naturally, she would no longer have any respect for Charles who was trying his best to maintain the system.

But Charles didn't know. He didn't care when he heard Vanti's cold tone. After all, Vanti usually spoke in this tone. He just asked, "I heard that Shen Ye was very close to those women from the Wasteland Hunters? Is that true?"

Charles' words made Vanti hesitate for a moment. She knew that Shen Ye had an ambiguous relationship with those female hunters, so she was often jealous of them. After all, she only had the time and opportunity to spend time with Shen Ye at night, but those female hunters could stay with Shen Ye all day long.

But no matter how jealous she was, she understood that Charles was now planning to attack those who had a good relationship with Shen Ye, so she had to hesitate.

"If I send them to the Dawn Hall, will he belong only to me from now on?"

"But, if that happens, he will definitely be very angry, right?"

And just as she hesitated, Charles, who hadn't received a response for a long time, frowned and asked: "Fanti, what's wrong with you?"

"Sorry, Master, I'm just trying to recall the details." Fandi lied without blushing or beating his heart, and then continued: "He seems to have a good relationship with all the wasteland hunters."

"Really?" Charles continued to frown, but did not ask any further questions. After all, he would never have thought that his left and right hands had already been conquered by Shen Ye.
