"Next time. I have something to do after the meeting."
The socialite wiped away her coquettish smile and rejected the man with a deadpan expression.
The man was flabbergasted. He could not understand why the person in front of him had suddenly changed into a completely different person. However, when One-Pun entered the meeting room, he suddenly recalled the horror he felt when he was dominated by those eyes. Immediately, he did not dare say a word and could only lower his head in resentment.
After One-Pun returned to the meeting room, everyone turned their heads away, avoiding One-Pun's gaze. When the suited man saw that One-Pun had not brought Zhang Meng back, he wanted to ask, but when he recalled the horror of having his skin rubbed by countless sharp teeth in the darkness, he immediately felt his scalp tingle. He did not dare say a word. Even the biological farts that were swirling in his intestines were forcefully held back.
One-Pun did not look at the crowd either. He first nodded at the white-browed elder before walking to Yama Minamiya, who was sitting on the ground. He grabbed Yama Minamiya's stout body and firmly placed him on his shoulder. He turned around and prepared to leave.
When everyone saw this, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
"Wait! The meeting isn't over! "
Yama Minamiya suddenly shouted, "Quickly put me down!"
Everyone was alarmed, afraid that One-Pun would put Yama Minamiya down.
However, One-Pun continued walking forward and whispered, "Treat your injuries first."
Yama Minamiya shouted, "No! We'll treat you after the meeting! "
One-Pun ignored him as he continued walking forward.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief once again.
"Pa!"
Suddenly, a crisp slapping sound was heard!
Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief!
Yama Minamiya had actually slapped the back of One-Pun's bald head with a 'pa' sound!?
"Put me down!"
Yama Minamiya roared into One-Pun's ears.
Everyone's mouths immediately turned into O-shapes.
Heavens.
Was Yama Minamiya courting death?
"Pa! Pa! Pa! "
While everyone was in shock, Yama Minamiya slapped One-Pun's bald head three more times with a sullen expression. The slaps were crisp and resounding. There was even a rhythm to it.
"Are you letting go or not!?"
Yama Minamiya roared with a deep voice.
Everyone was already dumbfounded. They felt like their minds could not process the situation. They were afraid that One-Pun's sudden rage would affect them...
However, One-Pun did not flare up. Instead, after a moment of hesitation, he stopped and turned to walk to the seat in front of Yama Minamiya. He gently placed Yama Minamiya down.
"Sigh, you really should change that temper of yours."
One-Pun grumbled softly. His expression was extremely gentle. He didn't look like he had just been done.
Everyone was stunned as they finally realized that something was amiss. A mere division minister like Yama Minamiya actually had such a 'close' relationship with One-Pun?
The suited man suddenly realized the fatal mistake he had made. The reason why One-Pun was truly enraged was not because Zhang Meng had bullied members of Gaia, but because Zhang Meng had injured Yama Minamiya!
So the reason why One-Pun was so angry was because Yama Minamiya was his reverse scale?
While everyone was wondering about the relationship between One-Pun and Yama Minamiya, One-Pun suddenly looked up at everyone and grinned once again. He had a kind and 'harmless' expression as he gently rapped the conference table and said, "Can the meeting … be a little faster? I'm in a hurry. "
Everyone wanted to cry but had no tears. They thought to themselves, You have the biggest fist, so you have the final say. But with you just standing there, who dares to speak? Who would dare to refute Yama Minamiya?
You can't be such a bully!
The middle-aged woman bit the bullet and said, "The Hero Association is already rushing us to hand in the final name list, so this is the final meeting. And what needs to be discussed has mostly been discussed. It's time to decide on the final outcome. I believe we should vote … "
The middle-aged woman's body stiffened. She could not say the words' vote to decide 'no matter what. Voting was the most suitable method to resolve such a contentious meeting. However, the outcome of the meeting was self-evident. She did not dare to raise such an unfair suggestion to Gaia in front of One-Pun.
The middle-aged woman trembled for a few seconds before finally changing the topic. She said, "The final outcome will be decided by Chairman Jiang!"
The only person present who could ignore One-Pun's attitude was this venerable senior.
The middle-aged woman believed that although Chairman Jiang was a little stubborn, he was not a pedantic person. He would definitely not go against the wishes of the Hero Association and the petitions of the entire country to help the Gaia rookies that had nothing to do with him.
With the seven major organizations jointly protesting, the public condemnation of the entire country, and the secret pressure from the Hero Association, no one could defy these three pressures. Even Azure Emperor, Jiang Tianyou, would find it difficult to withstand. Furthermore, the two Gaia rookies did not have any ties with Chairman Jiang. It was not enough to make him pay such a huge price.
If the middle-aged woman could think of this point, the other upper echelons of the organizations naturally could as well. They felt that victory was in their grasp from the beginning, believing that the meeting was just an insignificant process. At this final step, they also believed that Chairman Jiang would not make such a low-level mistake.
After all, this white-browed elder was an old fox!
The upper echelons echoed as they requested Chairman Jiang to make the final decision.
The amiable-looking white-browed elder smiled and surveyed the crowd. He said gently, "Are you really letting me make the decision?"
The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "Chairman Jiang, please make the final decision!"
The white-browed elder turned his head to look at One-Pun and asked, "My young friend One-Pun, do you have any objections if I make the final decision?"
One-Pun shook his head. "This junior has no objections."
The white-browed elder nodded and finally looked at Yama Minamiya. He said with a deep voice, "Division Minister Minamiya, are you willing to let me make the decision?"
Yama Minamiya fell silent for a moment before sighing. He said softly, "Elder Jiang, please consider it carefully. If you think that the rules should be changed, this junior … has no objections."
Using One-Pun's martial strength to suppress everyone present might be able to force everyone to accept a result that was beneficial to Gaia, but Yama Minamiya did not wish to do so, nor could he do so.
This was because if he were to do so, not only would it ruin One-Pun's reputation, it would also tarnish Gaia's reputation. And most importantly, the 'righteousness' and 'straightforwardness' that he advocated would no longer exist.
He had done what he needed to do. Now, he could leave the fate of the two rookies to the peerless hero, Azure Emperor Jiang, who had once saved countless lives.
"Then, I'll be the bad guy for once."
The white-browed elder gave Yama Minamiya a meaningful glance before turning to look at the crowd. Facing the expectant gazes of the upper echelons, he said with a deep voice, "This old man's decision is … that the rules remain unchanged!"
The smiles on the upper echelons' faces that had just bloomed came to an abrupt halt.
Yama Minamiya looked at the elder in pleasant surprise.
The white-browed elder suffused a faint smile as he said, "Why should I change the rules that I personally came up with?"
The middle-aged woman took a deep breath. Ignoring her fear, she said with a deep voice, "The rules that Chairman Jiang came up with are not wrong, but they are not the most correct rules. The seven major organizations, the Hero Association, and the entire country believe that holding a selection competition is the fairest way to choose the truly powerful talents! Chairman Jiang, please reconsider! "
The white-browed elder said with a chuckle, "I only know that the rules that I set cannot be changed, or it will be unfair. What has the seven major organizations, the Hero Association, and the entire country's views got to do with me? To this old man, the rules set by this old man are the greatest fairness! "
The middle-aged woman nearly vomited blood from her anger as she said with a trembling voice, "By doing this, if that Wen Hezheng and Kevin were to embarrass the organization faction at the collective training, who will be responsible?"
"A rookie's tiny farce can embarrass the organization faction? I never knew that the organization faction was so thin-skinned. "
The white-browed elder scoffed and said, "But since you believe that someone needs to be responsible, I'll be responsible! You can tell the seven major organizations, the Hero Association, and the entire country's citizens that this matter was decided by me as a dictator. All the responsibility will be borne by me alone! After all, the rules were set by me. If the person chosen by my rules is unqualified, it's only right for me to be responsible. "
The white-browed elder's righteous look made Yama Minamiya feel deep respect for him. He clenched his fists tightly as he felt hot blood surge out of his chest. He was extremely excited.
The suited man suddenly gave a dry laugh and said, "So Chairman Jiang had long made up his mind. That was why the previous meetings were delayed?"
The white-browed elder did not deny it. Instead, he calmly nodded and said, "The rules that I set cannot be changed by anyone. This is my 'fairness'. No matter who it is, no one can destroy my 'fairness'! The meeting was just an unimportant process. It was just to deal with a few annoying old fogeys. "
The members of the upper echelons could not help but smile wryly. So the process was not Yama Minamiya, but them!
.....
In the next ten minutes, Chairman Jiang gave the members of the upper echelons a full taste of what it meant to be 'stubborn'. He had decided that the rules would not be changed. Wen Hezheng and Kevin would be the final two nominees for the collective training selection. Regardless of what the members of the upper echelons said, it was useless.
Under One-Pun's' good-natured 'gaze, they did not dare to pester him to stall for time. Finally, the tumultuous meeting came to a' crappy end '. Chairman Jiang used ten minutes to come to a final decision.
The members of the upper echelons helplessly left the meeting room. They were secretly thinking that they had to report One-Pun's' rudeness' and Jiang Tianyou's' tyranny 'to their respective organizations at all costs. They were unable to deal with the two' monsters', but it did not mean that the seven major organizations and the Hero Association would let the matter rest. Furthermore, One-Pun had violated the hero rule of 'professional heroes at the Psionic Imperial Realm were not to engage in private infighting'. He had even seriously injured Thor's Zhang Meng. This was no trifling matter!
After Yama Minamiya expressed his gratitude to Chairman Jiang, he was quickly carried out of the meeting room by One-Pun.
Finally, only Jiang Tianyou and the uniformed beauty were left in the meeting room.
Jiang Tianyou lost his calm demeanor as he scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "It's over, it's over. I'm going to be annoyed to death by those old bastards!"
The uniformed beauty rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "So you were just acting?"
The uniformed beauty hesitated for a moment before she suddenly said, "Grandfather, why … did you do that?"
The uniformed beauty was indeed not a mere secretary, but Emperor Qing, Jiang Tianyou's granddaughter!
Although her grandfather had smacked the ugly faces of the upper echelons, allowing her to vent her anger, wasn't it not worth it to go against the seven major organizations, the Hero Association, and the entire country's citizens for so-called 'fairness'?
The uniformed beauty was somewhat worried for her grandfather.
Jiang Tianyou turned his head to look at his granddaughter. A loving smile suffused on his face as he said gently, "Weiwei, Grandfather remembers that you were previously an assistant to the general manager in a branch of the Battle Arena Corporation?"
The uniformed beauty, oh, she should be called 'Yang Weiwei'.
Yang Weiwei was taken aback as she nodded gently.
Life was always filled with surprises and surprises. A month ago, she was a miserable assistant who had been forced by the general manager to 'solicit' customers. Coincidentally, Jiang Tianyou had found her at the tragic moment of being fired!
She was actually Jiang Tianyou's long-lost granddaughter!
Well, this kind of female lead treatment suddenly fell from the sky to her. Yang Weiwei refused at first.
However, after Jiang Tianyou showcased a few tricks and subdued her adoptive parents and did not hesitate to take in her younger brother, Yang Yang, as his disciple, Yang Weiwei accepted the sudden appearance of her grandfather.
Following that, under Jiang Tianyou's swift and decisive guidance, she quickly became the personal assistant of the Hero Association's Vice President and Committee Chairman. She went from an ordinary white-collar worker to an important member in handling important matters of the hero faction.
Such a drastic change in status was difficult for anyone to adapt to. However, Yang Weiwei had figured out the profundity within a few days. Furthermore, she was like a fish in water.
This was because … there was nothing that could not be bluffed. If the first time did not work, she could bluff a second time.
Yang Weiwei gradually became adept at bluffing.
Yang Weiwei asked, "Grandfather, why did you mention this matter?"
Jiang Tianyou said, "Grandfather remembers that the Battle Arena Corporation branch you are in is in Steel City, which is also the Gaia headquarters, right?"
Yang Weiwei found it somewhat odd, but she nodded and said, "It's indeed in the Gaia branch."
Jiang Tianyou nodded and said, "Isn't that right?"
"What's right?"
Yang Weiwei was taken aback, but she immediately thought of something. She said in disbelief, "Grandfather, don't tell me that because of this, you …"
Jiang Tianyou grinned and said, "Of course. If not for my precious granddaughter staying in the Gaia headquarters for a period of time, why would I help them?"
"Ah?"
Yang Weiwei said in surprise, "Grandfather, aren't you doing it for 'fairness'?"
"Does your grandfather look like such a fool?"
Jiang Tianyou rolled his eyes and said with an exasperated laugh, "What does changing the rules have to do with fairness? If you want to talk about fairness, it's a bunch of unrelated retards and a retard that has something to do with my precious granddaughter. Helping that idiot is only fair for this old man! "
"Uh …"
Yang Weiwei was rendered speechless as she thought to herself, "Grandfather, your fairness is so unfair.
However, your granddaughter likes it a lot.
