His proposal and bill had successfully made it through the Senate. Approved by an overwhelming majority, Nicolás was ready to move onto the next stage of his plan. The Senate failed to realize the obviously ambiguous intentions checkered throughout his proposal, one that especially left room for loopholes or situations such as these. While he could not dethrone an entire government in an instant, he could oust one if evidence against them was found and presented. And indeed, it had. Many at his gala saw the supposed proof of his father’s illicit activities with the Hutt Cartel, and many believed him due to the ensuing attack and his own cunning in spinning upon their fears of the Cartel.
A legislative investigation was not made in the name of the Republic, but it didn’t have to be. Through his proposal, any investigation could constitute intervention. In addition, Nicolás wouldn’t be using the Republic’s own resources or meager military to take over Brentaal, which ensured he was not questioned about his schemes down the line. Even if the Senate did inquire about his move to oust his father, the proposal would guard his back, or at least delay their questions for months if not years. Bureaucracy was an absolute hell, but now that Nicolás was out of the swamp, he didn’t have to worry. Anyone who tried to chase after him would have to wallow through the same muck too.
In the end, he was safe. There was nothing to worry about other than his father and whatever tricks he held up his sleeve too. Although Senator Cormond doubted he could contend with him now, especially after his eventual meeting with an old particular friend. But that meeting would come another time. Right now, Nicolás would be speaking with none other than Senator Adasca. Who, surprisingly, chose to support his proposal and aided in its passing. Despite their differences, it seemed the idea of combating corruption could unite them together. Or in reality, Nicolás’ own clever schemes could manipulate her into supporting a vague bill with vague motivations. One she would come to regret.
He caught her approaching from ahead as they exited from the Senate chambers. “Senator Adasca! I cannot thank you enough for supporting my proposal. Please, walk with me.” The young man gave a wide smile. Could this be an end to their bitter rivalry? Yeah, right.
