NOVEL NEXT Chapter 748: 748
Hearing Li Chang's words, although the crowd showed hesitation, they did not say much more.
Li Chang had always served as the acting person-in-charge of Know-It-All, responsible for many affairs of the organization.
At the same time, because of Li Chang's intelligence and ability, even though everyone belonged to different departments, they tended to trust what Li Chang said.
"Since none of you have any objections, let's get started as I just explained," he said.
Li Chang stood there, speaking calmly, "Everyone has only one chance to vote. We will proceed with successive voting. If you support that person, you just need to raise your hand."
"So, the person with the most votes becomes the new leader of the organization?"
Someone asked.
"Yes."
Li Chang nodded, "This is also to refrain from unnecessary disputes. Although it may also lead to some conflicts, it arguably produces a better outcome."
"If you still have no objections, then let's start voting now."
Li Chang then pointed to a middle-aged man sitting opposite Yin Tian, "Lord of the Geometric Hall, does anyone support him becoming the leader of the organization?"
After Li Chang finished speaking, his gaze swept over the crowd.
No one made a move, not even the leader of the Geometric Hall who didn't vote for himself.
Li Chang nodded slowly and remained silent. Instead, he turned his head to look at the next person, "Does anyone support the Lord of the Taoist Hall?"
Just like before, no one supported the Taoist Hall.
Li Chang then asked several more people.
After he had finished asking all the civilian ranks, still no one had cast a single vote.
Finally, Li Chang's gaze fell on the row of martial artists.
"Does anyone support the head of Inquiry Hall?" he asked.
At this moment, finally, there was some action.
Five people had already raised their hands in support of Madman Qiu becoming the new leader of the organization.
In fact, these people had their own ulterior motives.
Madman Qiu, the head of Inquiry Hall, possessed extremely ruthless methods.
The crowd would rather see Madman Qiu leave Inquiry Hall; at least then they could feel a bit safer.
Besides, Madman Qiu was indeed very capable. Allowing him to take the seat of the organization's leader wouldn't disgrace his abilities.
"Madman Qiu, no votes."
Everyone fell silent.
There were ten people present, and Madman Qiu alone had secured five votes, which meant he was already in an unbeatable position from the start.
Li Chang's gaze then fell on the broad and bulky man, "Does anyone support the head of the Pursuers?"
The crowd remained indifferent.
Li Chang wasn't surprised by this outcome.
His gaze then settled on Xu Chong of the War Department, "Does anyone support Xu Chong of the War Department?"
The gaze of everyone present fell on Xu Chong.
If Xu Chong voted for himself, it would no longer be a surprise.
The new leader of the organization could only be Madman Qiu.
However, faced with everyone's attention, Xu Chong shook his head and did not raise his hand.
Everyone was taken aback.
Xu Chong didn't even vote for himself!
For a moment, everyone's gaze turned to Yin Tian.
Now only Yin Tian was left.
Was Xu Chong going to cast his vote for Yin Tian?
"Does anyone vote for Yin Tian, the head of Know-It-All?"
Li Chang spoke dispassionately.
This time, without dwelling on Li Chang's reference to Know-It-All's head instead of Lord of the Shadow Hall, Number Two raised his hand immediately.
Nobody reacted to Number Two overstepping his bounds. Before Yin Tian took charge of Shadow Hall, it was Number Two who managed many of Shadow Hall's affairs.
So, in the hearts of the people, Number Two was the true head of the Shadow Hall!
Li Chang also raised his hand.
He represented the acting head of Know-It-All.
Then, without hesitation, Xu Chong also raised his intact arm.
Everyone was astounded as they watched Xu Chong, not expecting that after such great embarrassment in front of Yin Tian, he would still cast his vote for Yin Tian!
Even Yin Tian looked at Xu Chong with interest.
Xu Chong scratched his head, gave Yin Tian an awkward smile, and said nothing.
Xu Chong's action was also motivated by self-interest.
His strength was not much different from Number Two's and might even be slightly better.
However, because Number Two excelled in assassination techniques, Xu Chong seemed to pale in comparison.
For Xu Chong, Yin Tian represented an insurmountable gulf.
As long as Yin Tian remained the Lord of the Shadow Hall, he could not legitimize the War Department and elevate it to the organization's foremost department.
Only if Yin Tian were promoted to the head of the entire organization,
Then he could begin to contend with Shadow Hall.
But!
Even though Xu Chong had cast his vote for Yin Tian, Yin Tian still had only three votes.
At that moment, from within the crowd, another person slowly raised their hand.
Normally, if you don't vote, it's equivalent to abstaining.
This person also cast their vote for Yin Tian at the last moment.
Unfortunately…
Even so,
Yin Tian was still one vote behind Madman Qiu!
