Didn’t you start this nonsense? How dare you say that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, no cooperation at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the legislators below erupt into curses again, Li Ang’s cheek twitched; he swiftly brushed his cufflink, shoving back the tiny goat horn that had peeked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Finance Minister’s been knocked unconscious—why are you provoking their anger? Stop it right now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Black Goat was slammed back into the Mirror World and the [War Horn] effect ceased, the legislators’ fury momentarily stalled; Li Ang then lifted his small silver hammer and began hammering the bell furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the clang of the bell drowned out the legislators’ shouts, Li Ang switched his badge and slammed the single podium again, bellowing sternly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re only cursing me, fine—but the Finance Minister came up to offer two words of advice and was attacked, and now his life hangs in the balance… Don’t you feel ashamed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the moment when the legislators’ rage had abruptly subsided and they were left bewildered, Li Ang pounded the podium and shouted a few curses, quelling the chaos, then roared toward the floor:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t just focus on the assassin! Send two people up here—carry the Minister downstairs and get him medical help! See if he can still be saved!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Finance Minister unconscious and Joshua stunned, Li Ang, as Acting President of the Upper House, was the highest-ranking person present; hearing his command, several guards rushed onto the stage and carried the Minister away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with the Finance Minister, they carried off Marquis Morley, whose two ribs had been broken by the guards who tackled him, his face pale with pain, unable to utter a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Ang, as Acting President, did not mourn the absence of these two key members for a single moment; he immediately tapped the golden bell twice with his small hammer and shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies and gentlemen, although the Finance Minister is absent, the Upper House must not cease its proceedings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next matter for vote is the proposal to expand universal suffrage and increase the Lower House’s seats—any objections? If none, then…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Acting President prepared to force the meeting forward, the middle-aged female legislator who had first risen to oppose the Princess alongside Earl Evans and Marquis Morley, declaring the Princess was digging up the kingdom’s roots, stood up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The vote on the officer replacement order was too hasty! I demand a re-vote!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After halting Li Ang’s reckless conduct, the middle-aged female legislator shouted angrily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, I do not recognize your legitimacy as Acting President—you’re acting like a madman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a sitting member of the Upper House, I impeach you! And I demand an immediate emergency vote to remove you from the position of Acting President!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished this with a furious glare, the middle-aged female legislator stepped forward from the crowd, mounted the main stage, and bellowed toward the floor:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fellow legislators! Right now! Those who believe he is qualified to continue as President of the Upper House—raise your hands!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he qualified to continue as President…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the middle-aged female legislator’s question fell, the chamber sank into silence; since the Lionheart Duke and Yubei Prince had presided over the assembly, the once-sacred and solemn parliament had been utterly turned into a farce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the absurd scenes that had just unfolded, even the most loyal Princess faction members now had no face to stand up and declare Li Ang qualified to remain as President—after all, they were all nobles, and dignity still mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the floor mostly silent, with only a dozen or so hands raised, the female legislator on stage smirked slightly, then turned to Li Ang and declared triumphantly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The vote result is clear! I now declare: your position as Acting President is revoked—you’re doing what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m retrieving evidence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grabbing the middle-aged female legislator’s hand, Li Ang pulled out a seal token and two documents, slapping them into her palm, then explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the Seal of the Bao Hua Clan, and this is the authorization letter personally signed by Lady Emma, current head of the Bao Hua Clan, appointing me to represent the Bao Hua Clan in the Upper House, along with the power-of-attorney granting me full rights of the Bao Hua Clan’s Senior President seat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“????”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the middle-aged female legislator stared, dumbfounded, Li Ang shook her arm and turned sideways to the stunned, murmuring legislators below:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to the Kingdom Code established at the founding of the Upper House, any proposal opposed by both the Senior and Deputy Presidents is automatically deemed rejected; any proposal approved by both the Senior and Deputy Presidents, provided the Royal Family does not object, is deemed automatically passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, I now invoke the Kingdom Code: the proposal to remove me as Acting President is rejected. You may leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bao Hua Clan’s seal and authorization documents?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the legislators verified the authenticity of what Li Ang had produced, not only did the female legislator on stage collapse, but the legislators below were also thoroughly shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combined authority of the Senior and Deputy Presidents equaled two-thirds of the Upper House’s direct vote—unless the Royal Family exercised its veto, any proposal could be blocked or passed outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kingdom Code did indeed contain such a clause, but that was centuries ago, at the kingdom’s founding, when the Lionheart and Bao Hua Clans together held more power than the Royal Family, and this clause symbolized the Crown’s respect for the “Two Pillars of the Kingdom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But centuries have passed—the once-great Two Pillars are now unrecognizable; the Bao Hua Clan was annihilated in rebellion six years ago, leaving only a single heir, and the Lionheart Clan, though barely surviving, is now an empty shell, nearly drained dry by the Princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even though the situation has changed utterly, this clause has remained in the Kingdom Code for centuries, still valid even until six years ago, so…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Kingdom Code, does that mean this entire Upper House now answers to this bastard President?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… this doesn’t count…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips turning blue from being blindsided by Li Ang’s sudden move, the middle-aged female legislator still insisted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even though you hold the Bao Hua Clan’s seal, I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I now initiate an emergency proposal to strip you of your legislative seat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cutting off her words, Li Ang raised his left hand before the bewildered legislators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Upper House President approves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he raised his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deputy President approves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Li Ang reached out, plucked the legislative sash from the middle-aged female legislator’s chest, and, as she stared blankly, gestured toward the door with a polite bow:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Proposal passed. You are no longer a member of the Upper House. Please leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell is this? You don’t even pretend anymore?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turned livid by Li Ang’s self-voting, self-approval “legal” maneuver, the middle-aged female legislator whirled toward the Prince with freckles on the throne and shrieked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prince Joshua! He’s completely out of control! Use the Royal Veto! Overturn this absurd proposal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh right—I’m the Prince, representing the Royal Family, I still have a veto vote!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the female legislator’s reminder, Joshua, whose mind had been frozen by Li Ang’s series of moves, suddenly snapped back; he instinctively sat up straight, gathered his courage, and glared at Li Ang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he slammed his hand on the throne arm, preparing to rebuke him sharply, he saw Li Ang calmly rolling up his right sleeve, gazing at him with unmistakable satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>",1292,"2026-06-20T03:18:35.371Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","892614e0d514f8e75ae363777eba957d7c73abb0d09b18f2dd80e4d7ea1bdc87","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-837","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-835",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-cleanup-crew-cover.jpg"]
