There were a total of seven honorary consultants, which meant that there were seven votes.
No.5 and No.1 voted against the motion one after another. This situation was within everyone's expectations, and it also represented the attitude of the China eSports community.
They worked so hard to prepare a brand new event, but in the end, it was snatched away by someone else. Naturally, they couldn't tolerate it. The organizer and venue of the Intercontinental Tournament had to be defended.
After the two raised their hands to vote against the motion, the atmosphere at the conference table fell into a moment of silence.
Li Daozai, who was sitting across from him, still had his hands crossed over his chest.
At the end of the long table, several European legends of the previous generation turned their eyes to No.1 and the others.
They weren't looking at No.1 and No.5.
They weren't looking at No.2, No.3, and No.4 who didn't have the right to vote.
They were looking at …
The only legend who represented the power of the North American eSports community.
As if he didn't notice that everyone was looking at him, Bullet's expression remained indifferent. He reached out and flipped through the documents in front of him, then put the documents down on the table.
In front of everyone's eyes, Ye Zichen looked up.
He raised his hand with a blank expression.
"Objection."
Even though Li Daozai, J, and Crow were prepared for this, they could not help but squint their eyes at the sight. Their gazes turned cold and sharp.
Martin, who was the host of the meeting, seemed to be surprised by the actions of the fourth honorary consultant who represented the North American team. He glanced at Bullet's side. The old man's eyes flickered slightly under his thick glasses. It was hard to decipher what was going on.
"Oh?"
"Mr. Bullet, do you also object to this motion?"
After hearing the old man's question, Bullet also turned his head to look at the vice president of the World Telecommunications Association, who was sitting at the head of the conference table. He nodded slightly, but his tone was still concise and indifferent.
"Yes, objection."
Martin was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"Okay."
"So … there are currently three objection votes here."
He looked at the other side of the long table who hadn't voted yet.
"Everyone else, if there is anyone who objects to this motion, now is the final time to consider."
However, Arrow couldn't help but interrupt, "Think about it? What else is there to consider? Sir Martin, you can directly count the votes for the 'yes' option. Isn't the result obvious? "
As he spoke, he looked at Bullet and sneered.
"Even if Bullet chose to support 001, what's the use?"
"One vote less, one vote more …"
"It can't change anything!"
His tone was filled with mockery.
Indeed.
The current situation was clear at a glance. No. 1 and No. 5 represented the interests of the Chinese eSports community, and they had two votes. Even with Bullet's vote, the three votes were still a minority among the seven members of the Honor Consultant Group. Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the other hand, as long as the four honorary consultants from South Korea and Europe stood together, they would undoubtedly have the majority.
But Bullet just looked at Arrow indifferently and said, "That's a good idea.
"Whether I vote for or against, it's my right to do so."
"It's my business how I vote. What does it have to do with a trash like you who doesn't even have the right to vote?"
Arrow's face turned green once again.
"You! — — "
J pulled his teammate back and said in a low voice, "Arrow, that's enough."
Martin, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, looked at Arrow sternly.
"Sir Arrow."
"This is the second warning, please be quiet."
"If there's one more — —"
"Don't blame me for being ruthless."
Arrow's face was flushed red, but at this time, he didn't dare to take any more risks and kept his mouth shut.
Martin, as the host of the meeting, looked at No. 1, No. 5, and Bullet who had raised their hands to vote against the motion and nodded.
"That's enough."
"Next, please raise your hand if you agree with this motion."
Without hesitation, Lee Daozai was the first to raise his hand, followed by Crow and J, who calmly raised their hands and voted in agreement. Finally, M hesitated for a moment, then sighed and slowly raised his hand.
Martin nodded:
"Agree, four votes."
"No abstention."
The old man's gaze swept across the crowd of legends at the conference table again.
"That's it, the first motion has been voted on."
"Four votes to three, this motion …"
"Passed."
This announcement was the final word.
It could be seen that Number One and the others had an ugly expression on their faces, while J, Li Daozai, Ghost, and Shield let out a sigh of relief — —
Originally, they were still worried.
Until the last moment, they would always be vigilant about whether 001 had any tricks up his sleeves. But now that Martin, as the host of the meeting, had directly announced the result of the first motion, there was no room for maneuver, which proved that their worries were unnecessary.
Even if 001 …
Faced with this reality, he could only bow his head and admit defeat.
At this time, Crow, who was at the end of the long table, suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at No. 1.
"If I remember correctly —"
"As the head of the honorary consultant group, I should have a special privilege, which is to veto once in the meeting."
"Don't you want to use 001?"
As soon as he said that.
Everyone in the room, including the host of the meeting, Martin, looked at No. 1 in unison.
Indeed.
In terms of most other rights, the seven consultants of the honorary consultant group were basically equal. However, as the chief consultant, he had a special right that the other six consultants did not have, and that was the veto power that Crow had mentioned just now.
As the name suggests, it is with this power that the Chief Counsel can veto a motion regardless of any other conditions.
This special privilege was also a special reward for the huge contribution that the head consultant had made to the world of professional esports in the past. It was a unique privilege.
But at the same time, this veto power could not be abused easily. It could only be used once a year.
Logically speaking —
In the current situation, the first motion had seriously damaged the interests of the China esports circle that No. 1 and the others represented. It was time to use this veto power.
At this time, Martin slowly said:
"Indeed."
"If His Excellency 001 thinks that it is necessary, he can use this power now. After using it, this motion will be annulled, but after using it, it cannot be used again."
As he said that, he looked at No. 1.
"His Excellency 001, you can make your choice."
Everyone's eyes were on him, but No. 1, who was the focus of everyone's attention, seemed to remain calm. He smiled and said:
"No need."
"Let's move on."
