"I object."
Yama Minamiya stood up with a bang and looked at the middle-aged woman. His lips were tightly pursed and his expression was firm. His eyes were filled with anger.
The upper echelons of the various organizations immediately cast cold gazes at Yama Minamiya that were filled with animosity. The middle-aged woman squinted her eyes as a venomous hatred flashed in them. Zhang Meng was the most direct. He glared angrily and slammed his palm on the table. With a deafening bang, the conference table trembled.
"Trash, you are objecting again!"
A boor like Zhang Meng did not care about conference etiquette. All he knew was that Yama Minamiya was pestering him incessantly. He yearned to beat him up.
If not for Yama Minamiya's sole objection in the past few conferences, causing the conference to end on bad terms, Chairman Jiang would not have had a reason to drag the matter to this day.
The seven major organizations in the country had issued a joint protest. Most of the first-and second-rate organizations had also issued a statement of objection. The media and the public's opinion was overwhelmingly in favor of changing the selection rules.
Yama Minamiya was only a Division Minister of a second-rate organization. His hero license was only at C Class and his strength was barely at the door of the Psionic Might Realm. What right did he have to object to everyone's objection?
If this were any other time, Zhang Meng could crush Yama Minamiya with one hand. But in this conference, it was a competition of words. And Yama Minamiya was a strange person. He was impervious to both persuasion and force. He was unyielding in his might. It made Zhang Meng, who always spoke with his fists, suffer greatly several times.
However, this was the final conference. Everyone had decided to shed all pretense of cordiality and ignore Chairman Jiang. Zhang Meng naturally did not have any scruples.
However, Yama Minamiya did not even look at Zhang Meng. He looked straight at the middle-aged woman and said in a deep voice, "Madam Chen, forgive me for being unable to agree with what you said! Indeed, in the battle exchange between Gaia and Zeus, Wen Hezheng and Kevin suffered defeat, but the process was definitely not as terrible as you described. Furthermore, according to what I know, in this trial, in the fourth level's dueling grounds, Wen Hezheng happened to encounter Zhu Yuanyuan again, while Kevin also happened to encounter Huang Peng. And this time, Wen Hezheng and Kevin obtained victory, wiping away their previous humiliation. From this, it can be seen that they already possess the strength to defeat the rookies of the Zeus organization. They are not as weak as you say they are. In fact, they are stronger than most of the rookies. Yet, you deliberately ignored this matter. Aren't your intentions a little too sinister? Furthermore, Wen Hezheng and Kevin had reached the sixth level. They were in no way weaker than An Mo and Zhou Chuchu. It was not impossible for their points to be ranked ninth and tenth. What right do you have to deny the results of their hard work? It was true that they came from Gaia, and it was not a famous first-rate organization. However, this did not negate their talent and potential. You keep saying that a Hero organization values fairness the most. Is it fair to deprive these two children of the future that they had fought so hard to win because of the prejudice of public opinion? I, Yama Minamiya, have never heard of such fairness! Nor will I agree to it! "
Yama Minamiya's words were eloquent and deafening.
The middle-aged woman's expression turned increasingly ugly. She said coldly, "Division Minister Minamiya's bias towards his own organization's rookies is understandable, but aren't you belittling everyone present by resorting to sophistry? In the fourth level's dueling grounds, Zhu Yuanyuan and Huang Peng had indeed been defeated. However, the reason for their defeat was because they had expended all their stamina due to an accident on the third level. That duel was not fair at all, so how can it be compared? If they were to fight under normal conditions, Wen Hezheng and Kevin would have no chance of winning! Furthermore, according to what I know, the reason why Wen Hezheng and Kevin could reach the sixth level was because they had received Shi Xiaobai's protection. Under his care, they barely managed to pass the first five levels. And the reason why the two of them were ranked ninth and tenth was because the third level was a team format. They had formed a team with Shi Xiaobai, and as such, they had freeloaded trial evaluation points when Shi Xiaobai conquered the third level's Level Lord! The two of them were clearly lacking in strength. They had relied on protection all the way up, and the reason why they were finally qualified was because they had hugged someone's thigh! Their results are so undeserving, so how can they convince the masses? Division Minister Minamiya keeps saying that they relied on hard work, but can shamelessly hugging Shi Xiaobai's thigh be considered hard work? It's pathetic, shameful and laughable! "
The middle-aged woman was in charge of diplomatic negotiations in the Zeus organization. Her incisive "verbal skills" of smearing the truth and whitewashing the truth had always been well-liked and respected by the upper echelons.
After she said her piece, everyone applauded and agreed, echoing the middle-aged woman's words.
Yama Minamiya remained expressionless and unmoved. He only looked at the members of the upper echelons of the various organizations, who were of a higher status than him, in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. He was not good at giving speeches or shooting his mouth off. Wen Hezheng and Kevin were not rookies in his division, but he, who had always adhered to the beliefs of 'righteousness' and 'straightforwardness', could not sit idly by and watch the scene of people using their authority to oppress others, nor could he watch the two children, who had made others think highly of them after coming out of the trial, suffer such unfair treatment.
Yama Minamiya coldly glanced at the middle-aged woman and said in a deep voice, "A bunch of nonsense. Nonsense! Kevin and Wen Hezheng clearly only formed a team with Shi Xiaobai in the third level's team mode. The other five levels are all competitive mode, so how can there be any protection? The trial evaluation points are just your subjective guess. Who can determine that the evaluation for conquering the Level Lord will be given to others because of the team mode? Zhu Yuanyuan and Huang Peng's stamina exhaustion due to an accident on the third level is also your one-sided statement. What evidence do you have to prove it? Furthermore, Kevin and Wen Hezheng did not have it easy on the third level either. Back then, Shi Xiaobai was fighting the Level Lord. In order to quickly accumulate enough points, they were also exhausted on the fourth level. If you want to talk about fairness, it is the two of them who were at a disadvantage. What makes you determine that they had no chance of winning under normal conditions? Kevin and Wen Hezheng are completely different from the time at the exchange competition. Think about it, how much effort did they put in to achieve such improvement? They obtained the collective training spots through a proper selection. There is no reason to deny it, nor can anyone deprive it. That is true fairness! "
Yama Minamiya became more agitated as he spoke. His fists were clenched tightly as he held his head high. He looked straight ahead and felt proud for Wen Hezheng and Kevin, but he was also angry at this meeting that should not have happened!
The middle-aged woman's eyes were cold as her lips trembled slightly. She opened her mouth to continue retorting.
At this moment, a thin man dressed in a suit suddenly knocked on the table. His voice was soft, but it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
