Would he be punished for showing off his abilities?
Maybe he would.
However, at least Tang Ling did not feel like God was going to punish him.
All the details of the distribution were discussed like a raging fire while the Tigersharks floated quietly on the surface of the sea.
Their presence here was the best guarantee.
No one doubted whether two upper-tier Purple Moon Warriors could represent the entire Tigershark organization.
The reason was simple. Anyone who knew the Tigersharks would know that they were a very special organization and were very united.
The reason why they were united was because they had an iron rule.
If any of the Tigersharks were killed, the entire organization would hunt down the enemy. If the killer was an upper-tier Purple Moon Warrior, the promise of any one of them would be the promise of the entire organization.
The iron rule sounded ridiculous, but it was the foundation of the Tigersharks' survival.
However, this was the foundation of the Tiger Sharks organization. If they weren't so united, they wouldn't be feared by others.
However, because of that, every single member of the Tigersharks was extra protective of the organization.
The upper-tier Tigersharks would never simply agree to anything in the name of the organization, but now that the two upper-tier Tigersharks had agreed to Tang Ling's contract, it could be seen as the organization's promise.
Therefore, the people discussed the matter peacefully.
They completely ignored the eagle eye that represented the Stardust Council and did not even think about the Poseidon family.
After all, the law did not punish the masses. If everyone was united, what was there to be afraid of?
Amidst the tense atmosphere, an inharmonious cough broke the tense atmosphere.
The people were stunned. No one thought it was just a normal cough. Many ships were gathered together and the representatives from the ships were discussing the conditions with Tang Ling. Amidst the clamor, a cough that could be heard by everyone interrupted the discussion. How could it be a normal cough?
"It's from the Poseidon family's ship." Some sensitive people noticed it.
Soon enough, everyone else noticed it.
It was then that they realized the matter did not only involve the Stardust Council but also the Poseidon family.
It was just that the Poseidon family's ship had been very quiet, and no one had stood up to express their opinions. That was why people had overlooked this point. Or rather, they had deliberately ignored it due to the temptation of resources.
Suddenly, a cough came from the Poseidon family ship. Everyone had to pay attention.
He might be able to handle the pressure of offending the Stardust Council, but if he were to offend the Poseidon family, he would have to think twice.
Someone suddenly became alert and sobered up.
Tang Ling's gaze turned into a teasing one.
No matter what, everyone quietened down. All eyes were on the Poseidon family's ship.
As expected, after a cough, a figure walked out of the Poseidon family's cabin, followed by a dozen people.
As the figure gradually approached the front of the deck, some sharp-eyed people immediately recognized the identity of this figure, and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's Cyril!"
"The person sent by the Poseidon family this time is their leader?!"
"What, the Clan Leader has come personally?!"
Yes, the person who walked out of the cabin was the patriarch of the Poseidon Family, Cyril.
The Poseidon family had different characteristics compared to the other members of the family. Their height was the most prominent.
Cyril was taller than the common members of the family. He was around 2.8 meters tall.
Although he did not have a strong physique, under the clothes that were not very thick, the prominent streamlined muscles also gave people a strong and powerful feeling.
Of course, as a pure-blooded member of the family, he had the signature eyes and hair of the Poseidon family. However, the color of his eyes and hair did not affect his handsome and elegant face.
Those who knew the truth could not help but think of some gossip about the Poseidon family when they looked at him. For example, the deceased Omir's mother had fallen for the patriarch of the family, but her love for him turned into hatred.
While the people were having mixed feelings, Cyril quickly walked to the front of the stage. He did not care about the others as he looked at Tang Ling and said, "Tang Ling, are you going to use the Stardust Council to declare war on the Poseidon family?"
Cyril's voice was calm, and there was no hint of anger in it.
However, his words were direct. The moment he spoke, he did not give Tang Ling any room to maneuver, so he had to answer him directly.
Tang Ling was also calm at Cyril's question. He smiled faintly and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's the Stardust Council or not. If there's a chance, I'll kill the Dogos. It just so happens that I have the Stardust Council's weakness. "
The people did not think that Tang Ling's attitude was inappropriate at all. After all, he was the Miracle Kid who had been in the limelight for the past year. Was it not normal for him to not be afraid of the big shots?
Even so, Tang Ling's words shocked many people. His direct answer meant that he was targeting the Poseidon family. It was too arrogant.
However, Cyril seemed to be well-mannered. He did not get angry. Instead, he asked calmly, "Why?"
"Because of Omir, they've been hunting me down. If they don't die, I'll die. Is that reason enough? "Tang Ling was telling the truth.
"Omir is a little reckless," Cyril nodded. However, the people would not assume that he was on Tang Ling's side just because of what he said. As expected, Cyril continued, "But it's not the place for outsiders to teach a lesson to a member of the Poseidon family. Omir can't die in vain. Isn't it reasonable for Dogo and the others to hunt you down? "
"Then it's also reasonable for me to kill them." Tang Ling answered in a firm manner. He then tilted his head and looked at Cyril. "Chief, how do you want to deal with this?"
Cyril's eyes were filled with indifference as he said, "On this matter, your stance and thoughts aren't important. It's not worth the Poseidon family's attention.
"I'm here to ask the people of the Stardust Council. Are you sure you want to go to war with the Poseidon family?"
As expected, the Poseidon family was still as arrogant as ever. They did not even care about Tang Ling, who started the whole thing, and instead, they pressured the Stardust Council.
Many people thought it was reasonable for a chief to behave like that, but a small part of them was doubtful.
However, a small part of him had doubts in his heart. He felt like Cyril was purposely diverting the topic as if he wanted Tang Ling to stay out of it.
Eagle Eye sneered in his heart because Sir Cyril had reminded him that it was reasonable for Cyril to purposely focus on the Stardust Council.
How clever! Using the excuse that Tang Ling was a nobody, Cyril ignored him and kicked Tang Ling out of the matter. He even lightly commented on Omir's death.
However, Cyril's actions might seem reasonable to the outsiders and fair to the members of the Poseidon family. After all, with the Poseidon family's position, they would surely question the Stardust Council.
Eagle Eye had already suffered this loss, and with the lord's permission, there was nothing for him to be afraid of. He said in a heavy voice, "The Stardust Council has no intention of starting a war with the Poseidon family. But we must kill Dogo and his wife! "
"Hmph." Cyril sneered and said, "Isn't killing the core members of the Poseidon family a declaration of war? Do you want the Poseidon family to hand them over with both hands? "
"That's a declaration of war!"
The spectators' breaths turned heavy, but the situation had turned into a fight between the Poseidon family and the Stardust Council. Everyone was just there to watch the show.
"Chief Cyril, there are some things that I would like you to think about." Eagle Eye showed a faint smile as he looked at Cyril with a mocking gaze.
Cyril chuckled coldly. "I'm sorry. There's nothing to think about. It's a disgrace to the Poseidon family.
Therefore, the Poseidon family must go to war. "
As he spoke, Cyril's gaze turned cold as he told a member of the Poseidon family beside him, "Terell, send the order back. Tell Dogo and his wife to prepare for battle. "
"The Poseidon family will defend their dignity in the most honorable way. They will fight for their lives. However, as a family, we must give them our full support.
So, order the elite troops under Dogo and his wife, the Seventh Fleet, the Fifth … "Cyril displayed the decisiveness and toughness of a family leader and immediately gave out a long series of orders.
The leader beside him quickly recorded the orders. It seemed like he was going to the Stardust Council for the battle.
The toughness shocked many at the scene. They did not expect the current leader of the Poseidon family to be such a ruthless person despite his low profile.
Eagle Eye sneered in his heart. This Cyril is not just a person. He's a ruthless person.
Because of Bibili Kerry's existence, the Stardust Council had already reached an agreement with the Poseidon family.
During the process, Cyril acted like a mediocre family leader and did not notice anything.
However, he did not expect that the moment he made his move, he would uproot the entire family.
On the surface, he was protecting Dogo and his wife, but in reality, he was forcing the Stardust Council and the Poseidon family to go to war!
In this battle, all the troops that he mobilized were outside of his control or under the command of disloyal people.
By going to war with the Stardust Council, he was basically using the council to eliminate his dissidents, but on the surface, he was the leader of the family who was willing to fight for his family.
When the time came, Dogo and his wife would be killed without a doubt.
When the dissidents were almost eliminated, Cyril would surely use the family's importance as an excuse to stop the war.
It was a radical and ruthless method. He was willing to sacrifice an arm to reunite the family.
It seemed that the Poseidon family had produced an impressive patriarch.
Of course, Tang Ling played a big part in this. If it were not for Tang Ling, Cyril would not have had such a good opportunity.
In short, Tang Ling was the key to this matter. After analyzing it, Tang Ling and Cyril …
Eagle Eye was praised by the lord. Even if he made a mistake, the lord still wanted to transfer him to Distant Voyage Hall. His brain was indeed sharp. From Cyril's few words, he understood what the lord meant — Cyril was a person of importance.
However, just like what the lord said, the trend has been set. It can't be stopped.
Since Cyril had shown such an attitude, Eagle Eye did not say anything else. After all, some things should not be put on the table. He shook his head and said, "If you insist, the Stardust Council will accept the challenge immediately."
Right after Eagle Eye's words subsided, Tang Ling stood up and said, "Everyone, I have nothing to do with the war between the Stardust Council and the Poseidon family. My condition is to kill Dogo and his wife, so my first option is still valid. If you want to choose the first option, hurry up. Compared to the war, this is a small matter. "
"Tang Ling, are you trying to force me with everyone?" Cyril suddenly changed the topic and looked at Tang Ling.
"Not at all! What you care about is the Poseidon family's dignity and benefits! I only care about Dogo and his wife's life. If you fight, Dogo and his wife might not die. There will be someone to watch over them. What's wrong with that?
I'm just a small fry. Do you really think that I'm challenging the Poseidon family's dignity?
After all, the Stardust Council's attitude is the most important in this matter. The grudge between me and the Poseidon family is only because of Omir. If you are the leader, you should know that everything has a price to pay. Only then will it benefit the development of the family, am I right? "
Tang Ling paused for a while before he shouted at the leader of the Poseidon family, "I suppose you're not here because you're bored, so you came out for a walk, am I right?"
When the crowd heard what Tang Ling said, they could not help but cheer for him. The conflict between the Stardust Council and the Poseidon family was supposed to intensify.
Through Tang Ling's words, he managed to divert the conflict away from himself. Moreover, he was reasonable and had grasped the key point of the Poseidon family.
In short, up until that point, everything seemed logical. At least, most of the people did not think that Tang Ling and Cyril were related in any way.
Of course, except for Eagle Eye and Aurora!
"Hmph, you're pretty smart." Cyril was still indifferent towards Tang Ling, which matched the arrogant attitude of the Poseidon family.
"For Omir's life, two Sunlight Nether Fishes, one male and one female. Six Moonlight Nether Fishes, three males and three females. Then, the conflict between you and the Poseidon family because of Omir will be written off.
But remember, it's just the grudge between you and the Poseidon family. Mr. and Mrs. Dorgo are parents, so their grudge has nothing to do with the family. If they survive the battle, whatever they do to you will have nothing to do with the Poseidon family. "
"Hehe, that sounds reasonable. But the Poseidon family didn't do anything and you're taking my resources for nothing? "Tang Ling was dissatisfied.
"Do you really think so?" Cyril raised a brow and mocked, "I won't say anything else. So, do you agree or not?"
At that moment, the crowd exclaimed that Cyril was really something. He did not do anything and yet he insisted on taking Tang Ling's resources.
The members of the Poseidon family beside him also felt relieved. The arrogant Tang Ling had to lower his head before the Poseidon family. Even if the members of the Poseidon family were trash, they were not that easy to kill.
As expected, for the first time, Tang Ling showed a hesitant and troubled expression as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he looked up and said, "Fine, this is it. Remember, the grudge between me and the Poseidon family is over.
Even if Mr. and Mrs. Dorgo die in the future, it's not the grudge between me and the Poseidon family. After all, I don't have the power to kill Mr. and Mrs. Dorgo. It's the Stardust Council that can.
"I've always been clear about grudges and gratitude," Cyril said calmly before he turned around and went back into the cabin.
This was big news! The Poseidon family and the Stardust Council were going to war! Plus, Tang Ling, the strange kid, wanted to distribute the resources, including the Sunlight Nether Fishes …
Many people did not expect the situation to develop in this way. In an instant, the owners of the ships started to contact their subordinates and spread the news to the factions behind them or their close friends.
After all, a war should not be underestimated. It was related to the structure of the world. If they could predict the changes that would follow, it might be a fortuitous encounter.
Tang Ling, the strange kid, had finally stirred up something earth-shattering from the moment his name was mentioned. He shook the structure of the world and jumped out of the circle of individual miracles.
The changes were not to be underestimated. It was a trait that only those who stood at the peak of the world would have.
A person's strength was just a person's strength. If he did not jump out of the circle, he would never be a leader.

"Kun, do you think it's worth it to be trapped here because of a ring?"
On the peak of a vast snowy mountain was a rather lonely courtyard.
This courtyard was built entirely out of wood, and the wood had only gone through simple polishing without any deeper processing. Just like that, the courtyard was built out of logs one by one, giving the entire courtyard a primitive, quaint, and mysterious feeling.
Ya, in his black suit, looked out of place with the style of the courtyard.
However, who cared? After entering the courtyard, Ya went to the tallest building in the courtyard. It was also a wooden pavilion built out of logs.
Kun was temporarily grounded on the third floor of the wooden pavilion.
Ya asked the question the moment he opened the door, and Kun didn't respond to Ya's question.
Kun was wearing the simplest white robe. Even though it was made of the best silk material, making the white robe look noble, it lacked the complicated and beautiful patterns on it, making Kun look a little down and out as he sat in front of the window.
Kun was cold, but Ya didn't mind. He sat opposite Kun and also looked outside through the opened window.
In fact, there was nothing special about the scenery. There was only a vast, continuous snow-capped mountain range and the white snow that was still falling from the sky.
Ya picked up the wooden pot on the table and poured himself a glass of water.
The water was steaming, but it was just a cup of water.
It was then that Kun turned to Ya and snatched the glass of water from Ya's hand without any hesitation. He then took a sip of the water.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Kun looked at Ya with a faint smile.
"What's strange?" Ya raised his eyebrows.
"It's just a simple glass of water. But it was a glass of water that was absolutely real. Because it's real, it's more reassuring than those fake delicacies. "
"Even though those delicacies are so real, and the color, smell, and taste are not the slightest bit lacking. But compared to this water, it's lacking something. "Kun swirled the water in his hand as his smile grew brighter.
"What are you trying to say?" Ya was still as cold as ever. Even though he was impeccably handsome, he still gave off an unapproachable vibe.
"It's nothing. Just like the snow mountain outside the window is real. It's better than the ever-changing scenery in my garden. I can't get tired of looking at it …
"It's like Tang Ling is real. You and I are illusions, and illusions are illusions. Isn't it worth it to pay any price for the real? "Kun stood up as he spoke. He looked at the snow mountain outside the window and inhaled deeply with an intoxicated look on his face.
"I don't understand what you're saying and I'm not in the mood to understand." Ya also stood up and looked at Kun. A trace of complicated emotions flashed over his eyes, but it was quickly concealed. He then said calmly, "You and I are the rules, so let's just follow the rules."
"How boring." Kun flung his sleeves, turned around, and sat down. He looked at Ya and said, "I've been looking at the snowy mountains and snowflakes all day and night, but there's nothing interesting. Do you have anything to tell me?"
"Two." Ya poured himself another glass of water and drank it. He then said slowly, "First, Tang Ling started a war between the Stardust Council and the Poseidon family. Is that interesting enough?"
"Oh?" Kun was stunned for a moment before he smiled. "Interesting! Interesting! This kid is even more interesting than his old man. "
Ya looked down and said, "Other than that, I'm here. Can't you guess what the second news is? "
"I know." Kun calmed down and said, "Hmm, those old fellas are going to put me on trial, right?"
"Not the old fellas, the Elder Council," Ya corrected Kun.
Kun said disapprovingly, "Aren't they old?" He then finished the glass of water in his hand. "Are you leaving now?"
"Yes, I'll go with you." Ya put the glass down and stood up.
Kun also stood up. A mirror suddenly appeared in his hand as he tidied his long black hair and white robe.
"Kun …" Ya hesitated for a while before he said, "Aren't you afraid that you'll be stripped of your power as a supervisor after this trial? If that happens, you won't be able to … "
