The time slowly pointed to seven o'clock, and Councilman Williams looked at the somewhat empty living room with a displeased expression.
James, Arthur, Lance, William, and a few others did not even fill a tenth of the living room.
When the mantel clock chimed "dong dong dong dong dong dong dong" seven times in total, everyone's eyes focused on Councilman Williams.
Councilman Williams himself had a gathering tonight, as the mayoral election drew closer, he definitely needed to put in some effort in this regard.
He invited a number of Bay Area politicians and tycoons over, claiming it was a regular get-together to foster friendships, but everyone knew it was a form of "choosing sides."
Once Councilman Williams became the Mayor, he would naturally sever ties with the Bay Area interest group.
He couldn't become the Bay Area's puppet, or rather, he and the Bay Area's interests would potentially clash.
