Selma Payne’s POV:

Very quickly, the travel-worn Dorothy answered our questions.

She still hadn’t given up on collecting specimens. After arriving at the border, I signaled for her to collect specimens and learn more about the local people’s lives.

Rather than asking for the people’s will, it was better to say that the merger proposal touched their hearts. Dorothy said, “The Yellow Leaf, Floodwater, and Saber Tooth Packs have a long history. Their geographical locations are also close. The residents have had the habit of intermarriage since ancient times. Many families might have children in the Yellow Leaf Pack, but their parents were Floodwater Pack members, and their uncles and aunts would move to the Saber Tooth Pack with their spouses. There is no difference between the inside and outside of these three packs for the locals.”

No wonder so many residents from another pack followed me when I was on patrol. I thought it was some celebrity effect, but it seemed like I imagined things. They were here to visit their relatives, and I was just here to watch the fun.

After taking a sip of water to moisten her throat, Dorothy continued, “About a hundred years ago, there was a debate about whether to merge the three packs. It was so loud that it almost succeeded. However, the Alphas of the three packs didn’t agree. After all, no one wanted to be under someone else’s rule, so who would be the boss after the packs merged? That era still had a strong dictatorship, the Alphas didn’t agree, so the matter was left unsettled.

“I’ve also heard some rumors, saying that some people from the Saber Tooth Pack heard that the Yellow Leaf and Floodwater Packs are going to merge, and even stopped voting for the Alpha election and rushed here to ask if the news is true. This will spread quickly, and the Saber Tooth Pack may also be involved in the merger.

The news that Dorothy brought back made me fall into deep thought again. If the Saber Tooth pack were to participate in the merger, then the infrastructure and industrial planning would have to change accordingly. Of course, it was best to investigate this personally, but I couldn’t leave now. Should I send someone to the Saber Tooth Pack?

…..
Soon I thought of a candidate – Duke Frank. He was hosting the Alpha election with the Saber Tooth Pack. As an experienced politician, was there anyone more experienced than him?

So I immediately called Duke Frank and asked him to help me collect the basic information about the Saber Tooth Pack. Duke Frank agreed immediately and asked, “I heard you’re hosting the merger of the Yellow Leaf and the Floodwater Packs. Do you want the Saber Tooth Pack to participate?”

“It would be best if it was possible. I heard the people also look forward to the Saber Tooth Pack. I’ll be more prepared. It’s better to be safe than sorry.”

Duke Frank was more ‘law-abiding’. He was only here to preside over the election and suppress the riots. He didn’t interfere with internal affairs at all, so it would take a day to prepare. Give me the detailed information before six o’clock tomorrow night.”

Since the merger was chosen, the election of Alpha would be delayed. I selected officials with excellent achievements and good reviews from the local government to form an interim government. Several representatives recommended by the people formed the highest supervisory group with Jordin, and Emma was appointed as the secretary.

Since the royal family could not interfere with local affairs, I could not openly lead all operations. The highest supervision group and I formed an image of leaders, one in the open and one in the dark. When I was not around, they would exercise decision-making power on my behalf. Jordin was the supervisor to prevent the representatives from being greedy for benefits.

On the one hand, she was born into a noble family and had been trained by her family since she was young. She was well-versed in politics and could knock down the people in the interim government who had bad intentions. On the other hand, it was because of her grandfather, Earl of Marlowe. She was the closest person to the royal family when I was not around. If there were any unexpected factors in the merger pack, she could immediately inform her grandfather and report it to my parents. She didn’t have to worry about any official communication channels being blocked.

As expected, the Saber Tooth Pack, who heard the news, immediately requested to join the merger, so the second public opinion poll was carried out among the three packs. The election for the Saber Tooth Pack had also stopped, so I had to select people from the remaining government members of the Saber Tooth Pack to join the interim government.

I had to emphasize that I deliberately avoided the families of the three original Alphas. From the actions of these Alphas, it could be seen that their cultivation was mediocre, and their families were sucking blood from the public. Perhaps there were talents in their families, but I wasn’t some soft-hearted saint. It was best to keep a respectful distance from people who were political and could cause trouble for me at any time.

In short, after I was done with all of this, the search team had also finished gathering, and the day to head toward the elf forest had arrived.

A development plan could only be made after some time. The plan I’d written in a hurry in a day or two had many loopholes, and it was harmful to implement rashly. Before I left, I didn’t give any transformation tasks to the interim government. The only goal at this stage was to appease the public, win the public’s trust, and lay a foundation for future actions.

After making all the necessary arrangements, I closed the door on the surface under the excuse of an occasional illness or to recuperate. In reality, I changed into a disguise and led the search team into the elf forest.
