As soon as Horn finished speaking, Anthony Seck sprang from his chair like a jack-in-the-box.
"Let me state in advance, I have nothing to do with this Jose!"
"Hohoho, didn't you just say that this Jose was your student?" The senators from Moska Town immediately jumped in.
"I don't remember that, I bear no grudges," Anthony Seck argued on his own, "Don't slander me, I'm warning you, Your Majesty, he's slandering me, he's defaming me!"
Although Horn hadn't said anything yet, in the eyes of many senators, Jose and Oludo were already politically like dead men.
Nowadays, Black Snake Bay mostly survives by relying on Horn, especially the Spice Company and the Sugar Workshop.
Without the former for transportation, spices are worth not a single dinar.
Black sugar without processing at the sugar mills of Langsande County sells for nothing as well.
Not to mention that over sixty percent of Black Snake Bay's grain relies on being transported in from the northern Thousand River Valley.
