Chapter 560: Chapter 460, No Need for Wenshi (One more update today.) Chapter 560: Chapter 460, No Need for Wenshi (One more update today.) The crisis on Gold and Silver Island has been resolved, now it’s time for the appointment of a new Island Master.

And the candidate needs to be selected by the headquarters of the association.

After all, both ‘Imilo’ and Wu Heng, who resolved most of the troubles, are members of the association.

They must abide by its internal rules.

Leaning back in his chair, Imilo directly asked, “Dean Gianvito, which probability do you think is greater?”

Gianvito seemed to have already thought about this question and slowly said, “According to past arrangements of the association, the second possibility is more likely, to arrange someone skilled in management to take over as the new Island Master.”

The second option referred to bringing in a new Island Master from outside.

The disadvantage is very clear, as newcomers would need some time to understand the local situation.

If it takes too long, a new group of pirates might emerge again.

Becoming a pirate is not a high threshold; over time, they will continue to appear incessantly.

Imilo nodded, he was also clear about the association’s affairs.

Gianvito continued, “Of course, this is just a guess based on the past. If a locally nominated person has enough prestige and support, then the chances of the first option are greater.”

Having said that, he looked up at the other party.

Meaning, if Imilo wanted to be the Island Master,
it wouldn’t be that troublesome.

Imilo spoke directly, “The local nominee is the Vice-executive Wu Heng, who this time anticipated the enemy’s plan in advance, and killed Occam, preventing the pirates from landing. He deserves to be nominated.”

Gianvito looked a bit surprised.

He softly reminded, “Gold and Silver Island here, is in a good location.”

Imilo’s tone remained calm, “My coming to Gold and Silver Island was simply because the association couldn’t find a more suitable person. Now that the pirate issue is resolved, I also have my own path to continue, and won’t stay on Gold and Silver Island for lengths at a time.”

“The Elf Race truly is enviable, having more time to move in their own direction,” Gianvito said with a hint of jealousy.

He followed up saying, “If you take the position, the success rate will be higher. If that young Vice-executive is nominated, the odds are much slimmer.”

Imilo said indifferently, “Then it depends on his own luck.”

“Once you make up your mind, record it, and send it to the association headquarters sooner.”

“Hmm!”

…

In the residential area, a mansion hall.

Lady Shanaela, in a long purple dress, was dressed elegantly and nobly.

Seated on one side of a long table, while representatives of the various merchant groups were seated at both sides of the square table, discussing lowly the events of the past two days.

With Gold and Silver Island returning to order, they were the happiest.

This incident would usher in a new era for Gold and Silver Island.

Maritime transport would become the new golden route.

“I heard that the association is selecting a new Island Master, does anyone have any thoughts?” Lady Shanaela suddenly spoke up, attracting all eyes.

A representative of the merchant groups, twirling a gold ring on his finger, said, “How the association chooses isn’t really for us to say, what thoughts could we have?”

“True, any choice is fine as long as it’s not a pirate.”

“Given the current situation, anyone as Island Master would be beneficial for us, maritime trade will only get better.”

The others spoke one after another, feeling quite optimistic about the current situation.

Just as they had said.

The association operates with very clear rules and systems.

The merchant groups prefer working within regulations.

So, no matter who the association appoints as Island Master, as long as it isn’t a pirate, it’s fine for them.

Lady Shanaela set down her teacup and smiled, “Actually, I prefer to have Vice-executive Wu Heng become the Island Master.”

The merchant group representatives were all stunned.

They looked on curiously.

“Lady Shanaela, please speak your mind. We are all here, and it would be good to discuss it,” one said.

Lady Shanaela nodded, “You may not be aware, but such appointments by the association are generally divided into three types: local nomination, selection from within the association, or handing it over to a nearby country.”

She paused slightly to let everyone reflect on this.

She continued, “The latter two options are of no help to us; the battle the night before last, we dealt with it to some extent. We can’t just let all our efforts be for nothing and end up with no connection to the island whatsoever.”

The crowd frowned.

For a moment, they didn’t grasp the underlying meaning.

Still, some showed support, saying, “I lost quite a few guards.”

“Following Lady Shanaela’s logic, we indeed exerted some effort.”

“What does this have to do with Vice-executive Wu Heng?”

Said one after another, the hall becoming somewhat chaotic.

Lady Shanaela picked up a silver spoon and gently tapped the edge of her teacup, stating, “I plan to write a letter of recommendation, on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, and send it to the association, endorsing Vice-executive Wu Heng to take the role of the new Island Master.”

“Is there any direct correlation with this?”

Lady Shanaela spoke slowly, “One, our lives were saved by him, supporting a lifesaver means the next time there’s danger, someone might save us again; secondly, he’s of decent character, having reached the position of Vice-executive in his twenties, a prodigy indeed, with even greater achievements to come; and thirdly, he has enough strength to hold Gold and Silver Island.”

Without waiting for a response, she concluded, “Helping him, outwardly we haven’t forgotten our lifesaver, helping a prodigy is like an investment, and internally, the stability of Gold and Silver Island benefits our Chamber of Commerce as well.”

Whoosh~!

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted into discussion once again.

After being swayed by Lady Shanaela, it seemed endorsing this Vice-executive was in their best interest.

“Then why not just let Imilo directly become the Island Master? No matter what, that Vice-executive is a Necromancer, and problems are likely to arise,” a somewhat chubby middle-aged man raised a doubt.
