Chapter 1865 - 958: Counteroffensive and Settling Scores (Part 2)

These years, everyone has always thought they were unlucky, that the years were not favorable. Now, it seems that it's not our days that are bad, but that there are bad people within the Federation!

So, may I ask, who are the bad people?

I don't know!

But everyone can see that whoever mixes with the Evil Cult is the bad guy! Isn't that right, Ahdong? Why aren't you saying anything? If you don't speak, I might have to attack you...

"I always thought that in the Federation, as the financial jewel, East City would certainly not be so incapable. But judging from the attack encountered at this Hai Zhou Science and Technology Expo, East City's tolerance and consideration for the Evil Cult has reached an unbelievable level!"

At the swiftly convened special meeting, Governor of Cliff City, Xu Chaoxian, stood tall and proud, facing those lifeless faces, and accused loudly:

"I don't know whether East City is breeding bandits to grow stronger or is already infiltrated by the Evil Cult to this extent, but the current situation doesn't allow us to remain silent anymore... I want to expose East City's collusion, sowing chaos in the Federation, this crime cannot be pardoned!"

"Objection!!!"

The administrative officer of East City's Central City dispatch office roared, vehemently refuting: "Our East City has always been ruthless towards the Evil Cult, striking them harshly; Cliff City's accusations are completely fabricated, chasing shadows.

Furthermore, what's so important about a mere science expo?

Please do not stage a show!"

"Staging a show?"

Xu Chaoxian sneered: "Who exactly is staging a show, East City or Cliff City? I hope East City thinks carefully before speaking. We have evidence!"

The East City officer's expression twitched, eyes narrowing slightly, not understanding what Xu Chaoxian was referring to, but ultimately did not bow down. At this point, any hesitation was impossible, the only choice was to persist stubbornly.

"If there's evidence, show it. Don't just talk nonsense!"

"Isn't the evidence written all over your East City's face!"

Xu Chaoxian raised his hand and pointed to the bewildered face of the other party: "Isn't this attack on New Spring by the Evil Cult exactly the same as the one East City encountered before!"

He paused and looked around, speaking with a booming voice: "I even strongly suspect that the group hitting New Spring is the same group from the East City Bank's major robbery case last time!"

"Huh?"

In the sudden silence, everyone was dumbfounded, feeling a bit out of breath.

No, brother...

"But facing the Evil Cult's attack, a marginally impoverished place like Hai Province still relied on its own ability to ensure the safety and stability of the Science and Technology Expo. Whereas East City, one of the Four-direction Cities, was helpless, watching as the other party vanished without a trace, even after so long, there's been no progress?"

Xu Chaoxian slapped the table, questioning: "Isn't this solid evidence of collusion between the Evil Cult and your East City? As far as I know, all the losses at the East City Bank were compensated by Federation insurance and other related national institutions, right?

I suspect this is East City staging a show to cover its own corruption, embezzling national assets, committing a heinous crime!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, please look!"

Xu Chaoxian waved his hand, immediately, numerous pieces of evidence were placed in the meeting room.

Including traces identical to those found at the scene of the East City robbery case, numerous Secret Rituals more authentic than the real ones, even an identical pig head and half-eaten pork...

Identical!

"Xu, you damn..."

Facing Xu Chaoxian's basin of crap being dumped, the officer stationed in Central City turned pale, struggling to speak anything beyond the Federation's official language.

What could be said? What else could be said?

Don't believe him; our East City is merely incompetent, not colluding with thieves!

Even though knowing Xu Chaoxian was completely making things up, losing is losing, disgrace is disgrace, can't explain how the mix of mud and curry ended up in the pants.

Moreover, the more baffling part is... to everyone else but East City, even including East City itself, it seemed overly absurd. The East City Bank's robbery case was filled with many bizarre and inexplicable points, one after another, who could clearly say there wasn't any shady business?

With Xu Chaoxian's statement, everyone's gaze subtly changed.

Could there be a chance that East City truly... played such a big game?

After all, this fits the stereotype everyone has of East City; they are known to be daring players!

But now, truth or falsehood no longer matters.

A meeting of uproar and disorder, ultimately yielded no result.

Everyone knew there would be a second, third, fourth meeting... until a result is reached.

But the key to deciding the result of the meeting wasn't in the meeting itself.

It was within the House of Representatives in Central City, in the adjudication by the Security Bureau, in the alliances between departments, in the stance of the Heavenly Governor Saints, and in how strong Hai Province's hand was, how big of a bite they wished to take.

It also depended on East City itself!

This tug-of-war and struggle involving the State Mansion and Four-direction City, despite clear advantages, the outcome seemed inevitable, yet was bound to be unseen in the short term.

On the other side... compared to the combat without rupture between the Chou family and the Tong family, maintaining room, the Lou family and Xu family were utterly tearing each other apart!

Though it had been torn apart long ago, this intensity was unprecedented. Not even when Lou Yanyue was ambushed, it was this outrageous!

Within a mere five days, the furious Lou Feng had completed the linkage within the Association among numerous craftsmen, representing the Three Phases and One System united over four factions, after obtaining approval from two directors, representing the Association, formally questioned the Xu family of East City!

Xu family, why did you frame me, where's my Fly King!!!

Thirteen thousand mouths from the Fly family, tragically annihilated, a proper explanation must be given!

The evidence is the remaining Curse Poison at the scene, specially crafted a spiritual curse targeting the Fly King, throughout the entire Federation, besides the skilled Xu family, who else could it be?

Even the Ascension captured on site by Lou Zhaoye, the Lou family directly dug out the 'Secret Inheritance' from the Spiritual Body... such pure Hidden Changes of Xi Yi, isn't this the spoil obtained ninety years ago after you Xu family extinguished Thousand Islands Tongyou lineage?

During the time your goods were out, face filled with jubilation, you certainly weren't this low-key!

"Who did this?"

In the deadly silence of the Xu family's main hall, Lou Feng entered with a large group, threw a shriveled human head at Xu Lingwei, pointed in his face, and questioned: "Are you deaf, speak!

I fucking ask you, who did this!

Don't you understand Federation language?"

Xu Lingwei's expression twitched, and twitched again, face pale with suppressed anger.

No choice, circumstances dictate behavior.

As the current manager, his role included enduring such humiliation, but nobody warned him there would be so much to endure!

"Who knows?"

Xu Lingwei forced to maintain his expression, squeezed out a voice from between his teeth, "Is everything in the world done by our Xu family?

Besides, the Evil Cult's attack, why don't you go to the Evil Cult and make a fuss at Xu family?"

"Good!"

Lou Feng grunted, clapped with a smile, and before Xu Lingwei reacted, asked firmly:

"So, you are admitting the Xu family has ties with the Evil Cult?"
