Chapter 341

• Recently, two major news stories have been dominating discussions in Goldmoor: the wave of enthusiasm sparked by the Hammond Group’s new product launch and the election for the deputy governor of Goldmoor.
• Following the retirement of the previous deputy governor, the position had remained vacant for nearly three months. Now, the election had finally been put on the agenda, drawing significant public attention to the question of who would assume the role next.
• Among the candidates, the one receiving the most public support was none other than Franklin. Young and highly capable, he had been working in the administrative district for quite some time. In fact, when the previous deputy governor retired, he had even named Franklin as his preferred successor.
