Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Shortly after.

The central command hall of the lighthouse.

The hall is still the same as when Arthur first came, but the sunlight shining into the hall has changed from the afterglow to the morning sun.

Morgan sat on the platform as the city lord, and Victor stood by Morgan's left hand.

The number of people in the hall below was reduced by half, only Charles, Jingnan, Mark, Elon and Arthur.

Aside from Arthur, the other four are currently in charge of major positions. Even if Elon will participate in the journey ceremony tomorrow, he is still the instructor of the wild hunter today.

As for Arthur, although he does not have a specific position and is currently only a member of the upper class, he is a person with military power.

And Arthur's military power also has a decisive influence on the lighthouse, so Morgan had to call him too.

At the same time, the five people standing below had different expressions.

Although Charles was trying to restrain himself, there was extreme unwillingness in the depths of his eyes.

Jing Nan had a slight smile on his face, and from time to time glanced at Arthur who was standing on the far right from the corner of his eye.

Mark and Elon still had the same old-fashioned expressions, but Arthur seemed to be doing nothing, as if he had nothing to do with himself.

Hey... At this time, the old-faced Morgan first sighed, and then said to the five people below:

I called you here today because there is something I want to announce to you, ahem...

As he spoke, Morgan coughed uncontrollably.

My lord...

Seeing Morgan covering his mouth and coughing, Victor, who was standing aside, hurried forward and patted Morgan's back with his prosthetic right hand so that Morgan could breathe normally.

Finding that Morgan's body seemed to be weak, Jingnan and Mark both showed worried expressions, and then Charles also pretended to show concern:

My lord, are you alright?

I'm... fine. After a few seconds, Morgan raised his hand and gently pushed Victor away who was helping.

After Victor stood guard again, Morgan, who had an unusually ruddy complexion, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

As you can see, my body is not as good as before, and I will participate in the journey ceremony soon, but the course of the lighthouse is still very long, and it is time for young people to take the helm.

After Morgan's voice fell, the five people in the hall didn't react too much, as if they had expected Morgan to say that.

Immediately afterwards, Morgan stared at Nan with a deep meaning, and then raised his voice and said to everyone:

Recently, there have been rumors circulating in the lighthouse that Captain Mark is about to become the city lord. Although I haven't found out where it first came from, what I want to tell you is that this is not a rumor.

With that said, Morgan got up and came to the edge of the platform, solemnly said with his hands behind his back:

I hereby announce that the position of city lord will be succeeded by Mark. If there is no objection, a handover ceremony will be held in seven days.

. (x4)

Jingnan, Mark, and Elon have no objections, and Charles had a private conversation with Morgan yesterday, and he has already been mentally prepared, so naturally he will not lose his composure like in the play.

Ugh...

On the contrary, Arthur grew up with an indifferent face, as if he didn't care about who would be the city lord at all.

But Morgan's next words made Charles unable to remain calm any longer.

Morgan looked at Mark, smiled like an elder, and said:

Mark, if you are allowed to take care of the light and shadow club at the same time as the city lord, can you do it?

This... Mark was troubled.

What?! Charles was hysterical.

For Charles, since he couldn't reasonably succeed as the city lord from Morgan, he secretly used some dirty means to succeed himself.

But being deprived of the position of head of the Light and Shadow Society is more uncomfortable and painful than killing Charles.

Because once he loses the position of leader, Charles will not only lose power, but also lose the capital to calculate Mark.

Knowing a son is like a father.

No matter how well Charles pretended, Morgan knew what kind of character he was.

In the play, Morgan is definitely not simply thinking of his son, let Charles accompany him to spend his old age secretly, but actually it is for Mark to escort him.

But a shrewd man like Morgan didn't realize that this good old man was actually a 'great dutiful son'.

Why! Why! Father!! Why are you doing this!!! Am I so unbearable?! Am I nothing in your eyes?!

Charles roared loudly with an expression of resentment, his expression, manner and demeanor were no longer as calm as before.

However, while Charles was yelling, tears glistened in the corners of his eyes, and his nasal voice was very strong, as if he was about to cry out.

In fact, Charles was not in a complete gaffe, but wanted to use the relationship between father and son to try to persuade him to stay for the last time.

Anyway, Arthur was an outsider at the scene.

Sure enough, after Morgan looked at Charles who was possessed by the Oscar winner, there was a trace of unbearable expression on his face, but for the sake of the human beings on the lighthouse, he still resolutely said indifferently:

Pay attention to the occasion. Also, it is not allowed to mention the relationship between the old world on the lighthouse. I hope the leader will not forget this.

Yes, I see, my lord. Charles retreated with a lonely expression on his face.

. Morgan looked at Charles in silence for a few seconds, then waved his hand and said:

Okay, everyone, except Charles, go down and prepare for tomorrow's trip...

The city lord.

At this time, Arthur, who had been on-hook all the time, finally went online again, interrupting Morgan's words:

I don't agree with the regulation of the travel ceremony. I suggest that this so-called truth-seeking ceremony be cancelled.

Oh? Tell me your reason.

Morgan did not refuse, but looked forward to Arthur's answer.

I saw Arthur step forward slowly, cleared his throat, and said:

The city lord, and everyone present, said that the trip was to seek the truth, but we all know the real purpose, which is to reduce the material consumption of the lighthouse.

The root cause of this reason is that every time hunters search for supplies from the ground, they always face the danger of total annihilation.

But now, the lighthouse will no longer face the problem of lack of resources, because those beasts are just a group of movable meat to me and my subordinates.

With that said, Arthur turned his head to look at Mark behind him, and asked:

Captain Mark, you have also witnessed our strength with your own eyes, so you probably won't question what I just said.

That's right. At this moment, Mark also stepped forward and said to Morgan:

My lord, if Mr. Russell and his subordinates assist us wild hunters, then the lighthouse will no longer face the problem of resource depletion.

Hmm... Seeing that Mark agreed with Arthur's words, Morgan fell into deep thought, nodded after a while and said:

Okay, tomorrow I will publicly announce the cancellation of the trip, and at the same time, I will announce the news that Mark is about to succeed the city lord, and there is one more thing...

(looks at Arthur)

Mr. Russell, do you mean you want to join the Wild Hunter?

Arthur shrugged his shoulders and said: Sau Rui, I said at the beginning that it was assistance, and I will not join any force or army.

I just want to live in a better condition before I can return to my universe, and to help out, that's all.
