Seeing everyone about to start laughing along again.
Dirk Carter said in surprise, "County Mayor Dixon, so you were joking? I thought you were naturally so sharp-tongued."
Boom!
As if a thunderbolt on a clear day.
Everyone's expressions froze.
They held their breath, unknowingly all looked at Bjorn Dixon.
A brand new Deputy Magistrate, the least experienced Deputy Magistrate, actually dared to bluntly call the mayor sharp-tongued in front of so many people, how extraordinary!
Bjorn Dixon felt the same.
He didn't expect Dirk Carter to speak so boldly.
Just about to get angry.
Dirk Carter chuckled and said, "County Mayor Dixon, don't be mad, I'm just joking, new here, I have to blend in with the leadership."
After saying that.
Bjorn Dixon didn't know whether to get mad or not.
If he got angry, it would mean he can't take a joke, which would be a slap to his own face.
If he doesn't get angry.
Dirk Carter indeed humiliated him.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
