Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Huang Shangzong's eyes darkened slightly, and he roughly understood what Qiu Tu was after: Qiu Tu's conditions were about adjusting the scope of authority and increasing his own power.
Although this was a bit of an outrageous demand—after all, for a vice speaker of a state, every single area of authority meant immense power.
But... considering Qiu Tu's current powers could only affect a single city, his request was actually quite reasonable.
Thinking this, Huang Shangzong's expression noticeably relaxed.
He leaned back in the chair, and with a deep, solemn look said, "Speaker Qiu, I can understand how you feel."
"But... there's one thing you got wrong."
"For someone as young and capable as you, a vice speaker, how could the parliament only let you handle Bright Moon City?"
"That would be such a waste of talent."
"Just now... I heard you say this finishing phase of the Purification Action would demand a lot of energy and time."
