Chapter 738 3 resignations and 3 concessions
On that day, people from Melemele Island, Akala Island and Ula'ula Island gathered in the quiet city of Malie.
Among these people were Chengye Damu, who had previously cooperated with Yang Ming to run a school, Dr. Kukui, Ilima, the captain of Melemele Island, Khaki, Mao, and Shuilian, the three captains of Akala Island, Ma Ruiyin of Ula'ula Island, the Mamane brothers, Kahili, the daughter of the Haono Group, Hao, the grandson of the king of the island, Aserola, the princess of the ancient Alola Dynasty, and Lilia, the eldest daughter of the Ether Foundation.
Even the small military leader Zou Shanmang and others who had been recruited by Yang Ming before were invited, and a large number of ordinary islanders also came to participate in this conference. Except for Gladion who was still working like a slave, Yang Ming had already called all the important people he could call upon.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yang Ming immediately cleared his throat and said, "Ever since the death of the previous king of Poni Island, the entire Alola region has been plunged into a long-lasting turmoil. Various factions have been fighting openly and secretly for control of Poni Island, causing the people to live in dire straits. Even Ula'la Island fell into chaos, and order was only restored a few days ago."
"The day before yesterday, I received a letter from Mr. Merdan, the island king. In the letter, he told me that due to the Ultra Beast crisis two months ago, he decided to temporarily leave Ula'ula Island and resign his position as the island king. Ula'ula Island is now in urgent need of a new leader."
At this point, Kahili suddenly became nervous. She was the first person to actively support Yang Ming and was also his biggest financial backer. Now, watching Yang Ming grow stronger and stronger, and finally pacifying the chaos on Ula'ula Island, Kahili felt like an ancient wife watching her husband pass the imperial examination and rise to prominence. She felt a sense of pride that "I really didn't make a mistake in choosing him."
In fact, Yang Ming had already told her the contents of the letter, and Kahili also knew that Yang Ming was ready to take over the position of king of the island. At this moment, she was both excited and scared. She was excited that she had finally made the right choice of him, but she was scared that as Yang Ming's status rose, he would definitely not be short of women with more prominent family backgrounds than hers. By then, how long could she, a financial sponsor without a "name", stay by his side?
Just as Kahili was getting nervous, Yang Ming said something that surprised her: "I would like to ask everyone to help nominate the next King of the Island."
Everyone was stunned by these words. Many already knew that Merdan had already passed the position of Island King to Yang Ming, and they had assumed this meeting was just a formality. They hadn't expected the person involved to actually ask for nominations. The air at the scene froze instantly; even the sound of a pin drop could be heard.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Ming suddenly became anxious: I meant for you to take the initiative to nominate me, why are you so slow!
Fortunately, Tokugawa and Jones, as Yang Ming's old subordinates, were the first to react: Yang Ming had come to power by murdering his superior Wu Liyan when he was in the Manjin branch. At that time, he used the tactics of "three refusal and three concessions" and "retreat to advance" to finally succeed in getting to power. Now he is just repeating the same trick.
"I recommend you, Boss, to be the King of Ula'ula Island!" Tokugawa shouted. "Everyone knows that Ula'ula Island was in chaos before. It was you, Boss, who led us to pacify the warlords and bandits from various places, bringing peace to Ula'ula Island."
"Yes, Minister... no, Lord King of Chaos, please don't be so modest." Jones echoed and winked at the audience. At this time, many of Yang Ming's "shills" mixed in with the people in the audience. They immediately understood what he meant and started to make a fuss.
"If it weren't for Lord Chaos King, we would have starved to death long ago!"
"The King of Chaos is the greatest figure in Ula'ula Island, no, in all of Alola!"
"Lord King of Chaos has pacified the various warlords, and his contributions to Ula'ula Island are immense."
Seeing his two old subordinates being so perceptive, Yang Ming was secretly delighted, but he kept declining: "Alas, I am young and unlucky, and I am not up to the task!"
"How could you possibly be unable to shoulder such a heavy responsibility!" Kashili was the daughter of the Haonuo Group after all, and she immediately realized, "During this period of time, I have lived and eaten with you every day, and even slept with you. No one knows your dedication better than me!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
"What? The daughter of the Haonuo family has actually slept in the same bed with the King of Chaos?"
"Who cares? Anyway, Miss Kahili came out to speak for justice herself, which proves how much effort Lord Chaos King has put in for us!"
Yang Ming was stunned at first, but then he thought that Kahili's words would not harm him, so he pretended to decline, "But I never wanted to be the king of the island. I just want to contribute my little bit to everyone."
When talking about "not wanting to be the king of the island", Yang Ming was almost amused by his own hypocrisy and almost burst out laughing.
"But didn't you teach me before, 'The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility'? Teacher, you are so capable, how can you shirk your responsibilities?" Disciple Hao also came to assist.
"Hawu is right, there is no one here who is more suitable for this position than you." Kukui and Nariya Oki also advised.
"But I'm not from Alola. Can an outsider be the king of the island?"
"What does that matter? What matters is our sense of responsibility to revitalize Alola! It has nothing to do with where we were born!"
"If I become the king of the island, I will definitely need a lot of authority. Do you accept this?"
"Of course, since we chose the King of the Island ourselves, we will of course accept the King of Chaos's conditions!"
"If I issue many orders at once, will you support them?"
"Of course! If it weren't for Lord Chaos King, we would have died long ago!"
…………
Yang Ming deliberately proposed a lot of conditions to test everyone's reaction, and secretly arranged a camera to record the whole process. When he felt that everything was about right, Yang Ming asked the last question.
"To become the king of an island, one must gain the approval of the island's guardian deities. But now that the four guardian deities have left Alola, even if I wanted to succeed, the procedures wouldn't work..."
At this moment, the little loli Aserola came out holding the token of the Alola Dynasty.
"I am the current princess of Alola. On behalf of the ancient Alola Dynasty, I can give you this token of ruling power. With it, even without the approval of the island's guardian deity, you can rightfully become the new king of the island."
With that, Aserola solemnly handed the token to Yang Ming. Seeing this, everyone applauded, and the atmosphere reached a climax. Yang Ming was overjoyed, but outwardly, he pretended to be very embarrassed and declined again. However, after repeated persuasion from everyone, he finally "reluctantly" accepted the token.
"Actually, Mr. Merdan has already passed the position of island king to me in his letter, but I really don't have much confidence in myself, so I haven't said it out loud. However, since Her Royal Highness the Princess and everyone else trust me so much, I will temporarily take on the responsibility of island king. I promise everyone that I will make Ula'ula Island more prosperous and let everyone live a happy life!"
In this way, Yang Ming became the king of Ula'la Island with an extremely high support rate of unanimous votes in favor and zero votes against.
