Chapter 514: Let Napoleon Do What He Needs To Do

Count Butafuoco wasted no time in striking while the iron was hot, having Girolamo push forward a bill in the Parliament to revoke the qualifications of the Paoli Faction's members.

Naturally, Bartolomeo lent his full support—once the Paoli Faction's members were gone, the parliamentary seats would largely fall into the hands of his own faction.

The Paoli Faction, however, was not going to sit idly by.

They quickly formed an alliance with the neutral faction to jointly resist in Congress. The latter, too, was on tenterhooks, fearing that once the Paoli Faction fell, they would be next.
