Chapter 5483
According to the rules, Kairi Patel would oversee the government’s finances, real estate, and other daily affairs.
To prevent Harvey York from accusing the John family of turning Kairi into a figurehead… Damon John decided to give Kairi authority despite his reluctance.
Of course, Kairi knew that without any power over the other personnel, the first-in-commands of each department probably would not submit to her either.
Yet Kairi did not feel insecure or sad about the situation. Rather, she was filled with excitement about what would happen next.
At nine o’clock in the morning, inside the government’s multi- functional meeting room.
The first-in-commands and directors of each department were gathered.
Many gazes shifted when they saw Kairi in a proper business dress, bare-faced, along with Harvey beside her.
Harvey casually glanced around before sensing the derisive gazes.
It was only natural.
Kairi’s rise was completely sudden. Because of her, many people’s opportunities to rise were instantly interfered.
Simply put, Kairi took a lot of people’s power for herself.
In everyone else’s eyes, Kairi only came here to take everyone’s piece of the pie.
Then again, Kairi completely ignored the disdainful glares when she sat in the main seat. After the underwhelming applause died down, she finally spoke.
“You all should know who I am by now.
“All of you are the first-in-command of your respective departments. All of you are key figures to keep the city running.
“I hope you all remember what you swore in front of the law before taking your positions!
“We serve the public!
“The safety of the citizens is our faith!”
Then, Kairi pointed at Harvey.
“Let me introduce you. This is Harvey York, our government consultant.
“His position doesn’t hold any actual weight…
“My authority is his to hold.
“His words are also mine.
“In any case, he’s the government’s crownless king now.
Kairi looked around her with a judgmental gaze.
“Does everyone understand what I’m saying here?”
Many people looked at each other before showing weird expressions as they glared at Harvey.
All of them had previously heard of Harvey’s name…
But the underworld was totally different compared to the government.
People of the underworld were savages to them.
No matter how strong the people of the underworld were, they believed that firearms would conquer them all the same.
That said, a man they all looked down on became the government’s consultant with Kairi’s complete trust.
This was simply outrageous!
Many people frowned at Harvey. They were still dissatisfied even though they believed Harvey had extraordinary talents to get himself here.
