The words that should be said have been said countless times.

Proper introduction.

Gordon had already made an opening remark.

The process is actually very simple, and Ethan doesn't need to say anything now, just start taking the oath.

After sweeping around the familiar friends below, he put away his smile, and the whole person stood upright, this action was like a signal, and the dozens of people below suddenly became silent, and their expressions were equally serious and focused.

Footsteps rang out one after the other.

Jenny, dressed in a black dress, stepped forward, picked up the thick Bible, and held it with both hands.

This slightly funny scene looked normal to everyone at the scene.

The United States is a technologically advanced country, but it is a theocratic country at heart, and Protestants are the cornerstone of this country, and they need to take an oath by hand according to the Bible in order to gain the approval of the people and thus gain power.

This is true not only of the mayor of the town, but also of the president.

Religious beliefs permeate every corner of the country, down to the community dealing with marital conflicts, to the morale of the GIs.

The figure of the priest can be seen everywhere.

It doesn't seem obvious, but the impact is huge.

In fact, Bible-reading is usually carried out by relatives, and under normal circumstances, it is a spouse, but Ethan is alone, and it is normal for his campaign assistant to do this work.

Footsteps behind were equally close.

The judge stepped out of the table, and he stood beside Ethan, who turned around and looked at him.

"Raise your right hand and swear with me!"

The gray-haired judge nodded at Ethan and looked at the paper in his hand.

In the midst of the crowd, Ethan pressed his left hand on the Bible and raised his right hand with the other to read the vow together.

"I, Ethan Morgan, solemnly swear."

"I will support, preserve, and defend the Constitution of America, the Government of America, and the Government of Pennsylvania."

"I promise that I have never done anything to disqualify me under any circumstances, and I have never offered any bribes, including money or property, to anyone in order to get a job offer."

The silver-haired judge reads it seriously, and Ethan reads it seriously.

The voice echoed throughout the courtroom, solemn and solemn.

Although he went to play a round of golf with the other party and Senator Schumacher when he ran for the election, and at Schumacher's suggestion, he gave the old thing a valuable membership card.

So as to get the other party to stand up and endorse themselves.

Although this old thing has been rumored to accept Procott's bribes before, it does not affect the two of them to read the oath sonorously and forcefully.

It's just a show, it's not difficult.

Ethan followed the other party's repeated retelling, and his voice rang out: "Within the constitution and laws of this state, I am fully qualified to hold public office, and I will fully and faithfully fulfill my duties as the mayor of Banshee Town. ”

"So, God please bless me!"

As the last sentence fell, thunderous applause rang out.

There was also cheering, Emmett whistled loudly, Alice clapped her hands red, and blew her crisp finger whistle as well, and the other familiar people were also excited.

This concludes the swearing-in ceremony.

The judge put down the paper in his hand and smiled and stretched out his hand to Ethan: "Congratulations, Mayor Morgan!" ”

"Thank you."

Shaking hands with him, Ethan smiled and looked at Jenny next to him.

Controlling the urge to hold each other in their arms, both of them shook hands solemnly and congratulated each other very officially.

After that, he walked to the crowd that had come to watch the ceremony.

Being able to come over at this time is to congratulate, whether it is sincere or not, he needs to respond at this time, at least a handshake and a smiling face are always there.

Of course, the bigger celebration is this evening.

A proper and decent inaugural party is always inevitable, and that's when it's really lively.

When shaking hands, many people looked at the young new mayor seriously, as the town's elite, in fact, many people thought that what he said before was just a campaign slogan.

It's all about the ballots.

But the conflict that happened just now soon spread to the ears of the people in the town.

I didn't expect the new mayor to be real, and he was very direct in the conflict with the Aryan Brotherhood, and he didn't fall behind at all, and finally slapped Watts in the face.

When they heard the last news, many people were stunned.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

You must know that the last person who offended Watts doesn't know how long he has been missing, at least the courage of this new mayor is not ordinary.

The contempt for the other party's age is gone.

We all know that this guy is not easy to mess with.

"Mayor Morgan."

Looking at the guy who walked in front of her, Nora leaned forward, and all kinds of expensive ornaments on her body rattled: "Congratulations, and thank you for choosing our Chino Moon as the banquet venue, this is the honor of the Chino tribe." ”

"Chief Langsid."

Ethan greeted her: "Thank you for coming, please don't say these words, Banshee Town and the Chino tribe should be one, we need to develop together, right?" ”

According to etiquette, the hand that was originally on the other person's shoulder was on his waist.

And while others were not paying attention, Ethan unceremoniously pinched the sheikh's stiff buttocks like lightning.

This action drew a flash of wink.

The inaugural party was a must, but his own house was being built, and Ethan didn't want to borrow someone else's house, so he simply set the venue in the banquet hall of the Chino Moon Hotel.

The only large hotel in the neighborhood with capacity is Chino Moon.

It's also your own money that is spent.

Therefore, Ethan is not afraid of causing criticism from others, and he can take this opportunity to declare his friendly relationship with Chino Moon, which is also a shock to many people, and the new mayor is not a person without a background.

The oath-taking ceremony was very brief, and it took a lot of time to greet the guests afterwards.

Ethan's face almost stiffened with a smile after the call.

As the men faded away, he rubbed his face a few times in the hallway outside the courtroom.

Fortunately, this kind of back-and-forth entertainment is just today, this is not a big city, after all, it is a small town, and it will return to its original trajectory after a day or two.

In life, the mayor is also an ordinary person, just nod and say hello when you meet.

There is no official idea in the society of acquaintances.

Many things can be left to Jenny to deal with, otherwise she will definitely not be able to stand it.

"Mr. Mayor."

The crisp voice of high heels sounded, and Jenny approached quickly: "Are you ready to take over your own office?" ”

"Of course."

Reluctantly putting the cigarette case back in his pocket, Ethan shrugged at his assistant. (End of chapter)
