As Su Mo approached the crowd, he overheard some officials discussing.
"Hey, when will we be able to see Lord Augustus? I've been waiting here for several days."
"What's that? I've been waiting for almost a week."
"No matter what, we have to keep waiting. The personnel changes this time are too drastic. I'm almost being marginalized."
"It's the same for everyone. Who knew it would turn out like this? I've heard that those powerful groups are all going to rise."
"Isn't that normal? After all, they've donated a large amount of political contributions. They're bound to reap rewards. If only I'd known, I would have donated some too."
"Stop dreaming. The threshold is very high. It's not like you can donate just because you want to. Not to mention, right now you can't even get close to the Federation Council Building. Where are you going to find connections? By the time it lifts, it'll be too late."
