When Hu Weidong spoke these words, he looked directly into Mei Lin's eyes, and everyone else in the venue also focused on Mei Lin. Because everyone knew, Johnson was Mei Lin's person, and it was Mei Lin who had nominated him to join the Supreme Council in the first place.
The Supreme Council only had thirteen seats, and the seven major technique factions couldn't even average two seats each, yet the Observing Body faction held three seats, even with two elder members already present, which was clearly unreasonable!
One of Mei Lin's purposes for placing Johnson in the Supreme Council was to suppress Fabre's voice within the faction, while ensuring the Observing Body faction held an advantage in the Council's voting on matters.
The reason she chose Johnson wasn't due to his excellence; the number of disciples from the Observing Body Sect was always the highest. It was precisely because this person was simple-minded and easy to control.
