Capítulo 217: Chapter 217 – Power to Change

The room started to empty, with the governor being the first to leave.

After that, the Manufacturers left one at a time.

Eventually, the representatives also left.

The last remaining people were Aria, Vernon, Wyntor, and Nick.

Wyntor and Nick walked over to Vernon and Aria, who were just walking towards the exit as well.

"Another uneventful meeting," Vernon said after yawning.

Normally, Nick would have laughed a bit, but right now, he didn't want to laugh at all.

Nick just couldn't view Vernon the same way as before the meeting.

However, Nick didn't decide to confront Vernon.

While they had talked quite a bit, they were obviously not close enough for something like that.

At most, they were acquaintances.

"Why did you ask for an increase in taxes for the people in the Dregs?"

Nick looked with surprise at Wyntor, who had just asked that question.
