Chapter 672: Chapter 309: Kid, Aren’t Numbers Amazing?

"The leader tested by the flames will lead Sigef City to rise from the ashes. Vote for Peace and make Sigef City great again!"

The truck broadcasting Wu Chang’s election message parked in Sigef City Central Park, less than twenty meters away from Mayor Avery’s campaign team, facing off.

After gaining the support of Senator Henderson and Senator Caitlin, Wu Chang accelerated the nomination and campaign stages with money, directly jumping to the voting stage.

This is Sigef City; with money, anything is possible, except raising the dead.

Theoretically, Wu Chang has enough Federation Coins to buy out so-called democracy, skipping even the voting stage and directly purchasing the mayor’s position.

Unfortunately, White Old K’s foundation isn’t that strong. It can only support the accelerated process, not overthrow the electoral system.

The voting window period, originally a month long, has been shortened to three days under the power of money.

Today is the third day of the voting period, with voting ending at 8 PM and the official counting starting at 9 PM.

By the next sunrise, Sigef City will welcome their new mayor.

Wu Chang is currently in the mobile command center, observing real-time predictions of the election results.

Together, it could be described in two words: burst kill.

Although Mayor Avery comes from an old political family — even when Sigef City was just Sigef Town, his ancestors served as town mayor — he lags far behind Wu Chang in support, from top to bottom, black to white.

Wu Chang simply cannot think of a reason for Avery to win.

This result is largely thanks to that secret weapon, who has been actively taking away Avery’s upper-tier supporters these days.

Wu Chang is very curious about what means the other party used. The Cursed Dungeon has rule protections, and even his mental shock can’t spiritually control the dungeon’s indigenous people, so how did they achieve it?

He mentioned it to the Negotiation Master several times, expressing a desire to meet this secret weapon, but each time, the Negotiation Master awkwardly replied that the person was busy and couldn’t spare the time.

The Negotiation Master spoke tactfully, but Wu Chang could sense that the person did not want to deal with him.

This only made him more curious.

However, at the moment, he didn’t have time to worry about the secret weapon because flies have been buzzing around him for the past two days, constantly annoying him.

Just as he was contemplating the flies, Miles and Colton hurriedly walked up to him.

Miles said helplessly, "Boss, two more of our strongholds have been hit by mysterious figures. Our people are alive but with broken legs."

Colton didn’t speak, but he gave Wu Chang a look, telling him that Lin Jiang did it again.

Wu Chang clicked his tongue. Since the start of the campaign, Lin Jiang and another Evolution Sect remnant have been attacking industries related to White Old K all around.

For Wu Chang, who is about to go legit, the underground industry damage isn’t a big deal, but like a toad on your foot — it disgusts you, not harms you.

"Didn’t I tell them to suspend operations until the election is over?"

Miles shrugged, "That shop is in the city center, close to City Hall and the police department. They thought the other party would be cautious, so they were careless. Unexpectedly, the other party dared to act in the city center."

Wu Chang sighed. Of course, Lin Jiang and his people dared to act; they have nothing to lose with only a few days left.

"Go back and tell everyone to shut down and let them smash. I’ll compensate for the money they missed these days."

He turned to Colton and said:

"You too, don’t go out these days, stay close to me. If they dare to hit the shop in the center, they won’t spare a lone player."

Just wait, once he becomes mayor, there will be time to settle accounts with those two properly.

The once-patient Lin Jiang and his cohorts have suddenly gone crazy these past two days, which means he’s on the right track.

If he maintains his course and doesn’t follow Lin Jiang’s rhythm, their plans will fall apart.

The only thing that puzzled him was Lin Jiang and his people’s actions. They seemed loud but produced little result, bullying White Old K’s ordinary members, assassinating indigenous politicians but afraid to attack him directly.

Are they scared, trying to lure him out, or do they have other plans?

He also noticed that among the players attacking White Old K’s strongholds and politicians, Dragon Armor hasn’t shown up. What’s Dragon Armor up to?

Are they trying to lure him out for a three-person ambush?

He shook his head; securing the mayor’s position firmly is the priority.

Once he becomes mayor, combined with the philanthropist statue already built, he will gain a power to change Sigef City’s rules.

No matter what conspiracies Lin Jiang and his people are planning, with an overwhelming force of strategy, they will be exposed.

And in two or three more days, Amber’s Heart Demon should pass.

Today is also Amber’s third day doing volunteer work at the orphanage.

The volunteer work is very effective at suppressing Amber’s Heart Demon. Over the following two days, Amber hasn’t had nightmares and has slept deeply. On the third day, the Curse Mark targeting school and home no longer appeared.

Moreover, the black thorn bracelet on Amber’s wrist has faded to nearly transparent, looking like it might completely disappear in a day or two.

The Heart Demon, initially thought to be the most troublesome, has been resolved bloodlessly with guidance from Teacher Mavira, restoring Wu Chang’s past feeling of clearing dungeons.
