Chapter 1709 - 877: 30 Is Also Me! (3)

"The days to come are still long, let's take it slow."

Meng Fengzuo remained silent for a long while, took the pen with both hands, and turned away.

.

The next day, under the leadership of Meng Fengzuo, the fleet from East City landed in the Seven Cities openly and exchanged all the materials due to the Seven Cities as per the original contract with Ling Shuo, including that invaluable Flowing Light Golden Spring.

With an unanticipated candidness, the dispute was resolved, making it difficult for the Seven Cities to continue to entangle.

Following Ji Jue's instructions, under Ling Shuo's lead, the activity of reversing accounts and clearing lists was vigorously pursued, starting to settle accounts with those who muddled the waters and took advantage of the chaos, getting Mr. Ji's money back with principal and interest.

However, it seemed intentionally or unintentionally, that one dying breed was overlooked.

——The Hidden Mist Reef, now newly elected as the spokesman.

Thus, under that seemingly casual gaze, the Hidden Mist Reef started to panic, became anxious, exhausted, stressed, and scared!

Afraid, truly afraid!

Ji Jue, this despicable person, who would know when he's happy and hits the red button?

Who can be a thief for a thousand days, but how to prevent a thief for a thousand days?

For a while, in the tense atmosphere, requests for help poured into East City like snowflakes.

However, Ji Jue remained unmoved.

Why move?

It's best to stay!

After all, the initiative is here, as long as he doesn't act on Hidden Mist Reef, it will be busy and fearful, thus consuming more or less East City's energy and spirit.

Draining blood continuously, accumulating depletion, over time, he'll see how long East City can be fooled!

Meanwhile, amidst the silent standoff and depletion, the news of Iron Hook District's demise spread far and wide, becoming more mysterious, more eerie, with consequences continuously spreading, and endless allegations against Ji Jue.

Even though he violated no rules, the borderline actions were too appalling.

As a result... there was little reaction within Desert Market, but other places were already panicking, with inquiries towards Desert Gathering Headquarters pouring in endlessly.

If you don't want to live well, just close the door and mess around on your own, don't disrupt everyone's life!

Previously, life-and-death struggles might at most be behind closed doors, but now with missile bombardment and map explosions, if others mimic and find a big city to replicate, the dreadful consequences and losses are beyond imagination!

Especially for the Federation and the Empire, having long been displeased with Desert Market's recent movements, the Federation merely issued warnings through informal occasions with their proxy, while the Empire directly demanded severe punishment.

At this time, standing up for him was the Taiyi Ring, known for its silence and invisibility in such disputes!

Punish for what?

What mistake has our Ji Bao made?!

He was also forced! Clearly, Desert Market is the one acting unscrupulously, how can our Taiyi Ring's youngest Master of Glory be blamed!

See how pitiful he cries, how helpless he is, the managers are heartbroken.

It's because he abides by rules, allows you to bully him, if it was another master, patience wouldn't be an option...

Missiles? These missiles are nothing!

He understands the rules, friend, have you seen his other fierce actions?

There's some information here, do you want to review it before speaking?!

After everyone reviewed Master Ji's profound knowledge in "Mutated Transformation", his special insights in dealing with peers and innovative discoveries in manufacturing various creations, they would surely understand Mr. Ji's compassionate spirit and magnanimous heart!

Thus, just after Taiyi Ring's representative finished speaking at the meeting, everyone wisely changed the topic, no longer dwelling on these incidental special cases.

Regrettably, the loophole for unlimited retaliation was eventually filled after Ji Jue exploited it happily.

Just as Ji Jue had foresighted.

What the leaders desire is 'survival of the fittest', not total devastation; even if it's life-and-death, ultimately they cannot allow unrestricted chaos...

However, White Deer operates completely differently from Tian Yuan.

If it were Tian Yuan, they might introduce new regulations or issue notices and instructions, demanding that departments conduct serious self-examinations starting from today.

White Deer doesn't bother with such troubles.

Because Desert Market made no moves, only unofficially released records of talks concerning Iron Hook District from various meetings.

Even if the imitators are raring to go, ready to try, the leaders have not imposed constraints or demands on the increasingly intense internal conflicts.

No matter how big you mess things up, as long as it's within Desert Market, the leaders are aware.

However... if this leads to ulterior losses and irreversible consequences, don't count on Desert Market to cover the costs or the leaders to clean up your mess.

You bear the consequences yourself!

If, like Ji Jue, you have a behemoth like the Artisan Association to back you, then do as you like.

If not, then sorry.

If you intend to self-destruct, the leaders wouldn't mind lending a hand to cut you down for fun.

No warnings or rules are needed, reality itself is the best school; just knowing the logic that self-destructive behavior leads to ruin naturally makes everyone's eyes clear rapidly.

And in this brief meeting, dealing with Iron Hook District was trivial. To be blunt, not just one Iron Hook District, even if ten or a hundred were set ablaze, it'd be no big deal.

It's nothing!

The real purpose of the meeting precisely addressed the increasingly chaotic phenomena affecting the present, stemming from Desert Market, including the unresolved rules still pending implementation!

Just like the turmoil following Lei Wuye's death among the countless White Deers in Cliff City, wreck yourself all you want, don't let everyone suffer economically!

For a behemoth like Desert Market, even if bizarre, even if paradoxical, even if repugnant, it remains necessary.

The most darkly humorous part is that although unstable, it itself is a crucial component in maintaining stability. If it were to completely lose control, the resultant impact would be akin to another White Deer chaos!

Moreover, even partial loss of control is unacceptable to everyone!

For most people, mixing in the tumult, struggling for survival, is all for the sake of profit, right? Now that you're caught up in endless chaos, do you still want to do business?

Ah Huang, what exactly do you intend to do?
