honor me as god

Chapter 53 Power Coercion
The Troy Mansion is located in the South City, which is the most prosperous urban area in Dusk City, and it is also a veritable "rich area", where most nobles live.

Looking from a distance, the solemn mansion of Troy's mansion stretches endlessly, with swords and shields flags lined up everywhere, symbolizing the unshakable majesty of the royal family.

Inside and outside the gate, there was a row of guards in black clothes, all of them had cold expressions and burning eyes, which added a strong sense of chill to the mansion under the vast sky.

As soon as Kino approached, the captain of the guard stepped out of the queue and gave Kino a knightly salute: "Good morning, Your Excellency Administrator, I welcome your arrival."

"Good morning." Chino responded politely.

The captain of the guard raised his hand: "Please come in."

After passing through the long and narrow corridor, Chino was led directly to the living room.

The interior layout of the Troy family is just like their language, full of murderousness and blood, mainly metal ornaments such as swords and swords. From time to time, you can see huge specimens of wild beast heads, glaring, and looking at them from a distance makes people shudder.

At the end of the long table in the living room, Brook was wearing a tight-fitting wide-sleeved aristocratic dress with red stripes on a black background. The white perforated square scarf and shirt inside were particularly conspicuous against the dark skin.

Clothes are good clothes, but this kind of graceful and luxurious clothing is somewhat inconsistent with his burly body.

Chino's gaze swept across the long table, and besides himself, there were seven other people present.

They are the "Ombudsman" in charge of morality and authority monitoring.

The "judge" in charge of the administration of justice and court affairs.

A "financial ambassador" who coordinates accounting and financial revenue and expenditure.

"Head of Peace" who maintains daily security and public order.

"Constructor" specializing in urban architectural planning and maintenance.

A "Grand Priest" that hosts festivals and prayers.

"Military Commander" Brooke, who was in charge of the wartime army command.

Coupled with the "Administrator" Chino, who is in charge of government affairs and personnel, these 8 people present constitute the core of Dusk City's ruling class.

In small towns, due to their small population and low management costs, civil officials often have multiple roles.

From the level of the main city, the powers were divided, and eight officials with different responsibilities jointly governed and balanced each other.

Today, Brook not only called Chino to the mansion, but also called the other eight officials.

It is worth mentioning that the seat distribution of the long table is exquisite.

In the Dogulandic culture, the two ends of the long table are the most noble main seats. The closer to the two ends, the higher the status. The middle position farthest from the two ends belongs to the "miscellaneous guest".

There are now eight chairs in front of the long table, and all that is reserved for Chino is the errand seat.

Clearly, this is a deterrent.

Is the office of administrator powerful?Of course, the administrator is the leader of the main city.

But power is a delicate thing. What is great power?It's not how much power this position gives you, but how far you can move your subordinates by using this position.

If your subordinates don't listen to you, your power is just an empty shell, so what if you are an administrator?What if you were the king?No one implements the decree, and your power is waste paper.

Without words, Brooke conveyed this to Chino just through the seating arrangement.

Seeing Kino standing still, Brook asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Your Excellency Administrator, sit down."

Chino didn't respond to Brook, didn't move, but looked at the VIP seat at the other end of the long table, where the treasurer was sitting.

The treasurer caught Chino's gaze, but pretended not to see it, and was still drinking tea carelessly.

Kino put his hand into his pocket, pretended to be touching something, and then mobilized the space ring and took out a document.

"I didn't expect the Treasurer to be here. It's a coincidence that I want to visit you another day." Chino walked behind the Treasurer, opened the file and put it on the table in front of him, smiling, "The former administrator ha The death of Lord C. Llorison is a sad event, and while I was sorting through the remaining documents, I felt that there were some things that should be handed over to you."

Finance Minister originally had a sloppy attitude, but when he saw the contents of the document, his expression changed, the blood on his face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he subconsciously closed the document.

The documents Kino brought were nothing but Dusk City's financial statements from last year, and Liushui, the bank of the city's Chamber of Commerce - the one that made the fake accounts.

The financial envoy's eyes were erratic. The copy in front of him was a handwritten copy, and the original should still be with Chino.

The financial envoy didn't dare to look at Chino, he quietly put the document in his arms, got up and gave up the guest seat, and sat in the miscellaneous guest seat.

Under Brook's deep gaze, Chino took the seat of the VIP without hesitation, with the usual smile on his face: "Can you make me a cup of tea?"

After he finished speaking, he mobilized his mind and pushed the cup of tea in front of him to the financial envoy.

Everyone couldn't help squinting, but they didn't expect that the new administrator was still an extraordinary person.

Brooke nodded to the waiter, and the new tea was quickly brewed.

"This is the 500 silver moons I compensated for Paladin. By the way, he is already a thousand commander." Chino used telekinesis to move five thick purses to Brook, and each purse contained There are 5 silver moons.

Brooke motioned for the waiter to take the money and store it, and then looked at Chino with a playful look: "I'm curious, you used to be a civil administrator in Xilin Town, and your salary was 50 silver moons a year, how did you get so much savings? , can you take out 500 silver moons as compensation casually?"

Kino half-smiled, "Maybe I should ask the financial envoy about this matter, he knows better than me."

Brooke's eyes concealed danger signs: "Pay attention to words, little guy. You are indeed an administrator now, but you need to know one thing. In the past 20 years, Dusk City has changed 12 administrators."

Chino joked: "Iron Troy, running water administrator."

"You're very smart. Since that's the case, let's stop going around." Brooke's thick fingers beat regularly on the table, "In the future, when you exercise the authority of an administrator and make personnel transfers, I hope you will give me a call first. call."

Chino's smiling lips showed signs of staying: "You are the military commander, and personnel transfer is not your responsibility."

Brooke smiled meaningfully: "I don't care, I just want you to discuss it with me in advance."

Chino: "By discussing, you mean—you nod, and I execute. You shake your head, and I reconsider."

"If you can do that, trust me, you can sit tight in this position," Brook said playfully. "Twilight City won't have a 14th administrator."

As soon as Brook's voice fell, the rest of the officials cast deep glances at Chino, waiting for his answer.
