Chapter 538 Exercising the Powers of Members of Parliament!

If only it were just a title, how wonderful that would be?

A title or honor can keep a guy with unfathomable strength in check.

Nasujuro found it difficult to accept that the other party wanted power above the Five Elders, but Lord Im did accept it.

Nassou thought for a moment, then asked Arthur,

"Besides Lord Im, we need to report your status as a member of parliament to all the nations. How will you attend?"

Since what the other party knows is beyond their control, they can no longer treat him as a normal person.

“Call me Councilor Ice Dragon,” Arthur replied immediately. “Of course, you can use my real name if you don’t mind.”

“That’s absolutely unacceptable!” Nasujiro immediately objected. “That would greatly affect the government’s rule and reputation!”

"Isn't your reputation bad enough?" Arthur laughed at his words. "You think you're so noble by slaughtering an entire country in three years?"

Faced with Arthur's sarcasm, Nasujiro had no words to refute.

He lowered his head in shame. "After the God Valley incident, we have decided to cancel the triennial Lower Realm entertainment event."

“I need to correct you, Nassuro-sama. What you did wasn’t an event! It was rulers abusing their power to slaughter innocent people!” Arthur said to him calmly.

"It seems that the first thing I should consider after becoming a member of parliament is how to make the Celestial Dragons suffer."

Nasujiro was taken aback by his words, "You want to..."

"They're just a bunch of pigs raised by your boss Im, do you really care how I manage them?"

Even before becoming a member of parliament, Arthur was already considering how to deal with the Celestial Dragons.

To put it bluntly, Im's rule doesn't care about these Celestial Dragons at all.

The Celestial Dragons are nothing more than Im's tools; the highest authority can kill them at will, and they are of no interest to her.

Ultimately, it's just a game with a gap in the level of strength among powerful players.

“You killed hundreds of Celestial Dragons in God Valley…isn’t that enough?” Nasujuro spoke up for his comrades.

Arthur looked at him with disdain and said dismissively, "Are you questioning the decisions of the soon-to-be-appointed councilor? Since Im agreed to let me become a councilor of the World Government, we are now compatriots, right?"

“Compatriots…” Nasujiro was stunned on the spot, unable to believe those two words.

“That’s right! We’re compatriots now, working together!” Arthur stood at the tavern entrance, his back to him, and continued, “I’ve made up my mind! You pampered Celestial Dragons are really out of your minds! Your mindset needs to be corrected, and your behavior needs to be corrected!”

My hometown is currently undergoing resource development, and tomorrow! I've decided to exercise my powers as a legislator!

"What!" Nasujiro exclaimed in surprise again, "It's going to be implemented tomorrow! And you haven't even taken office yet!"

"Bullshit! Is this your decision?" Arthur yelled at him. "The moment your boss verbally agreed, I already had that right! Understand?"

"Come, call me War God, Congressman, Nasujuro."

Nasujiro had never encountered such a request before in his life.

How could someone be so humble and lowly towards a mere brat?

This isn't a negotiation; this is outright bullying! Bullying! Bullying!

The world government has been bullied! Are you kidding me?!

Humiliated like this, his face was deathly pale, and he was waiting for Lord Im's orders. He would rather die in battle than fight.

However, after waiting for a while, Im did not give any instructions, which meant that his Im-sama had tacitly approved.

“Ice Dragon Councilor…Sir.” Nasujiro bowed, abandoning his dignity as he called out to Arthur.

At this moment, Arthur stood tall, staring at the ceiling and sighing inwardly, "Ah! It took me a whole lifetime to transform! If it had been like this from the beginning, perhaps all those tragic experiences wouldn't have happened."

After a moment of reflection, Arthur composed himself and returned to the negotiating table.

Arthur stared at Nasujuro with a mixture of pleasure and mockery on his face, and began to give orders, "Tomorrow, have all the young Celestial Dragons set sail for this village."

They must be reformed in order to solidify their rule!

"What do you want the Celestial Dragon families to do?" Nasujuro asked.

*Smack!* Arthur slapped Nasujiro's bald head with a chop. "Call me Senator! As for what I do? Mining, of course!"

"What?!" Nasujuro was shocked once again. "How can we Celestial Dragons, the nobles of the world, do something like this?!"

"What the hell do you know?!" Arthur slapped his bald head again. "When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their will, strains their muscles and bones, and starves their body! If we don't let them suffer, the World Government will surely perish!"

Are you questioning my orders as a congressman?! Nasujiro?

Nasujiro was left speechless by simply stating his status as a member of parliament.

No matter what, I couldn't refute his words; I didn't know how to speak or how to resist.

It's like having a breath stuck in your chest, a breath you can't let out and have to swallow down and bear it silently.

"From now on, the Celestial Dragons will still be world nobles on the surface!" Arthur announced to Nasujuro. "But in private, they must first endure hardship! As high-ranking officials of the future government, how can they understand how to rule the world if they don't understand the suffering of the common people?"

Arthur became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, even becoming carried away with his pride, and continued...

"No way! You ruling class are out of your minds! Tomorrow! Have the other three surviving Five Elders come and mine too! 24/7 non-stop work!"

After mining, they handle international affairs. As fellow countrymen, we cannot let you continue down this path of decadence!

"Lord Im! Lord Im!" Nasujuro called out to Im in his heart, so angry that he wanted to draw his sword and cut Arthur down in front of him. "Do you really agree to this?! We are Celestial Dragons!"

Inside the illusionary room.

Im lay on the bed, covering his face and seriously considering Arthur's suggestion.

"What he said seems to make some sense," Im muttered to himself. "How could he think of something that Im couldn't even imagine?"

And such self-talk was surfacing in Nasujiro's mind.

Nasujiro and the other three of the Five Elders almost simultaneously showed expressions of despair.

“I’m doing this for your own good,” Arthur’s voice reached their ears again. “This way, the generations-long feud between you and Joey Boy and David D. Jones can be gradually resolved.”

Upon hearing this, Im instantly understood!

For centuries, she has been fighting against the descendants of their will.

We never knew how to avert such a prophetic disaster, but now we finally have a way!

After receiving Im's order, Nasujiro, looking ashen-faced, said to Arthur, "Understood, Councilor."

"..." When he heard the other party agree, Arthur's eyes widened, and he pouted and bared his teeth.

I don't know whether to be happy or shocked. I looked at Nasujiro like he was an idiot, and even started to question my existence.
