Chapter 241 - 241: 0206 Meeting? Usurp the throne! (Finale)_1
*It seemed... was it really the case?*
After hearing Leon''s analysis and questioning, the Rebels, who had been somewhat muddled with their bows, uncertain whether they truly opposed the leader, finally became thoroughly "sober."
Yes! That''s exactly it!
Although I wasn''t as clear-headed as young Baskin, able to directly articulate why, I must have vaguely sensed something was off, which is why I felt Nathan was unfit to be the leader! sea??h thё N??elFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
No wonder, no wonder I suddenly bowed to young Baskin earlier, it turns out that although I couldn''t articulate the reason, I had already started to think this way in my heart...
"You... don''t let him fool you!"
Noticing the gradually changing gaze of the people in the room and their subtly shifting attitude towards the opposing side, the middle-aged man, sensing that "the tide had turned," couldn''t help but exclaim anxiously,
"Think carefully! How old is young Baskin this year? And apart from attending a public school for a few years when he was young, he hasn''t studied since the age of thirteen or fourteen. How could he possibly know so much?
Use your brains! Those words just now, could someone who attended only a few years of public school say such things? I suspect he''s not even young Baskin at all!"
?!!!
After hearing the middle-aged man''s reminder, the group of Rebels in the room couldn''t help but change their expressions, vaguely realizing that "young Baskin" indeed seemed off.
Several people who moved around the valley more, with some knowledge of young Baskin''s family situation, immediately cast doubting glances.
*Was Nathan... not wrong, after all?*
Setting aside why the supposedly silent and withdrawn young Baskin suddenly became so eloquent, even his educational level from a community school couldn''t possibly allow such an impromptu, clear-cut analysis, let alone the latter part, where he examined in layers with aggressive questioning.
...
*I was indeed a bit too hasty... but it doesn''t matter!*
Feeling the suspicious eyes of the Rebels upon him, Leon couldn''t help but squint slightly, then sighed with a look of disappointment,
"Mr. Nathan, you still didn''t understand where exactly you went wrong.
You think questioning my identity, forcefully labeling me an impostor, eliminating me as someone who dares stand up to question you, would make you right as the leader again?
To be honest, I even find you a bit pathetic now, pitiful in that you can''t even identify your true opponent!"
After deliberately obscuring the focus to divert attention, Leon sat back in his chair, in the gaze of all present, unhurriedly dragging out time as he said,
"Mr. Nathan, before I give you this answer, could you first tell me what the first textbook a six-year-old child receives from the community school upon enrollment is?"
"What are you trying to pull?"
Caught off guard by Leon''s strange question, the middle-aged man quickly realized that he must not let the topic be diverted, and interrupted him straight away,
"We''re discussing your identity right now! It has nothing to do with school textbooks at all! Don''t try to use this method to evade my question!"
"I am answering your question!"
Having seized the initiative again, Leon spoke rapidly as he said,
"If you''ve forgotten, I''ll tell you! The first set of textbooks in community school is about reading and phonetics, and the material used to teach children to recognize words is the nearly three-hundred-year history of the Kingdom!
The first sentence all the children in the Kingdom learn while grasping reading is about how the Kingdom came into existence! Do you remember what that sentence said?"
"Of course I remember!"
Striving to regain control of the conversation, the middle-aged man said,
"But that sentence has nothing to do with the current sit..."
"It has everything to do with it!"
Leaning on his excellent script skills brought by [Elite Performer], Leon gave a powerful shout, regaining control of the discussion, and solemnly recited,
"With the joint support of nobles, citizens, factory owners, and merchants, the royal family expelled the previous rulers, absorbed fragmented city-states that couldn''t bear the plundering of other kingdoms, thus establishing the current Kingdom.
This is the first sentence a vast majority learn!"
"So what about that and the current sit..."
"So, it wasn''t the royal family that established the Kingdom and then obtained the majority''s support; it was after winning the support of most forces that the current royal family successfully established the Kingdom! This is something even children know!"
After interpreting this sentence, Leon looked at the somewhat dazed middle-aged man and shook his head,
"If you truly meant what you said about preparing to save this country, then you should showcase the change you can bring, garnering more support, rather than recklessly launching attacks that make everyone fear and even oppose you!"
"That''s easy for you to say!"
Discomforted by Leon''s words, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and struggled to argue,
"We are the Rebels! Those who join us are either impoverished, injured veterans, desperate bankrupt civilians, or workers living under unbearable oppression.
What value can these people provide, and why would those forces support us? Instead of daydreaming about baseless hopes, we might as well do as I say, first, gather…"
"You see, that''s our biggest disagreement."
Interjecting again to cut off the middle-aged man''s argument, Leon shook his head, earnestly provoking,
