A huge luxury cruise ship on the high seas was surrounded by dozens of luxurious yachts.
A large number of the world's top nobles were gathered here.
In order to ensure the safety of these dignitaries, there were many warships and submarines dozens of nautical miles around the yacht.
On the huge cruise ship in the middle, there was a magnificent conference hall filled with well-dressed men and women.
All of the people here were powerful figures in their respective fields. It was normal for them to have tens of billions of assets. There were even some ancient royal families, the heads of large consortiums, and so on.
At this moment, many people in the conference room had impatient expressions on their faces. They had been waiting here for almost two hours.
However, the people they wanted to see and the news they wanted didn't get a clear response.
The only blonde handsome man sitting at the top of the conference table leisurely placed his legs on the table and laid on the chair.
Beside him, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure was feeding him grapes.
Seeing this handsome man enjoying himself so easily, the big shots in the meeting became more and more dissatisfied.
"Lord Beryl, may I ask when we will be able to see Madam?" A white-haired old man dressed like a noble asked with a sharp gaze, leaning on a black wood golden eagle head walking stick.
He turned around and said with an evil smile, "Prince Wilson, what's the hurry? There's food and drink here. If you're tired, there's also a maid who will massage you."
"We are not here to enjoy, we are here to pay tribute to the great King of Hell! However, even if His Excellency Lucifer is in seclusion, he should at least let us see his wife, or Lord Sally, right? "Prince Wilson said.
Beryl teased the girl beside him as he leisurely replied, "You people … Suddenly saying that you want to pay tribute and give gifts together is too hasty.
Our boss is in closed-door training and is very busy. Our sister-in-law has to deal with the affairs of the organization and is also very busy … How could you just meet her whenever you want?
"Another fat middle-aged man wearing a white robe, a headscarf, and a pocket watch said seriously," Lord Beryl, although we came in a hurry, we are all sincere.
All of us have supported INFERNO for at least three years and at most seven or eight years. Every year, we have paid tribute to the king and obtained his protection.
Now, we heard that the Sovereign King of Hell was heavily injured in order to stop the conspiracy of the traitors. We are all very worried, so we came to pay our respects. "
Berial smiled and said, "Chief Hassan, thank you. I know that your consortium's annual tribute is among the top few. We believe in your sincerity towards our boss.
Don't worry, just wait for a while. My sister-in-law has a lot of things to do. She'll come over after she's done … "
A middle-aged white man in a black suit asked, "Lord Beryl, is Lord Lucifer really alright?
"Forgive me for being presumptuous, but after all, it has already been more than a month since the bloody incident in Moxi City. In the past, when His Excellency Lucifer was injured, he never needed so much time to recuperate."
Beryl touched the waist of the girl beside him and replied, "Mr. Morgan, your family is very good at business and politics, but you are not cultivators after all.
Our boss went into seclusion not to recover from his injuries, but to use this opportunity to break through to a stronger realm.
What, do you guys believe the rumors outside and think that our boss has sacrificed himself? Or is he missing?
"Beryl's gaze was filled with ridicule as he swept his gaze across the big shots present.
Most of the crowd immediately revealed expressions of denial, indicating that they would not believe those words.
However, in their hearts, they were actually all suspicious of what was going on inside INFERNO.
This time, they had come forward to pay their tribute at the same time. In fact, they were looking for an opportunity to see if Purgatory Island was strong on the outside and weak on the inside.
If it was really as some rumors said, and the King of Hell, Lucifer, had fallen, then INFERNO would no longer be a big tree that could be relied on.
The situation in the Underground World was changing. No matter how much money these nobles and rich people had, they still needed to protect their lives.
Without the protection of absolute force, they would not have any sense of security.
Therefore, to confirm the true situation of INFERNO was extremely important to them.
Beryl's gaze fell on an old gentleman and said, "Old Pino, you've been very close to our boss for the past two years. Do you think our boss will fall?"
When Old Pino heard this, he immediately lowered his head humbly and said, "His Excellency Lucifer is at the peak of his prime and has experienced hundreds of battles. Of course I won't believe those rumors."
"Haha …" "I will pass on your words to my boss." Beryl sighed with emotion, "Sigh …" As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
Our boss was injured and went into seclusion for a while, but he was actually able to make so many old friends rush over to see him. I am here to thank you on behalf of my boss. "
Beryl looked at the crowd with a smile that was not a smile. Although he was smiling, his eyes were filled with a trace of coldness.
A handsome white noble wearing glasses picked up his cup, took a sip of coffee, and said with a faint smile, "Lord Beryl, please do not misunderstand our sincerity.
However... In the past month, the Holy Royal Court, which had disappeared without a trace, had once again risen in power and formed the 'Holy Heavenly Kingdom'.
They once extended an olive branch to our family and insisted that His Excellency Lucifer had died in that great war.
They said... Lord Sally Ye is the culprit behind the murder in Moxi City. There are already many experts from the underground world who plan to ally with them to suppress INFERNO … "
Hearing the white noble's words, the expressions of everyone present became complicated.
They actually all knew that the Holy Heavenly Kingdom had already formed an enormous power. Now that the Dark Council had completely retreated, it was no different from a turtle hiding its head in its shell. Thus, the prestige of the Holy Heavenly Kingdom rose in an instant.
Even though everyone felt that the Dark Council had a guilty conscience this time and that it was most likely a tragedy caused by the Strigoi, Sally Ye definitely played an important role in it.
Actually, as matters stood, these nobles and rich people did not care who killed those millions of commoners.
The more people died, the more cities were destroyed, and the more profits they could make, the more profits they could make.
What they cared about was whether this incident would become an opportunity for a new power to rise and for the Purgatory to decline …
After hearing these words, Beryl said with a smile, "Sir Orlan, your family seems to be very close to the Rothschild family …"
Previously, Brandon of Rothschild suffered a loss at the hands of our boss. Could it be that you guys are planning to believe in that bullshit Holy Heavenly Kingdom this time? "
Sir Oran smiled slightly and said, "Lord Beryl is overthinking it. I am just concerned and want to know how the lords of INFERNO plan to deal with the Holy Heavens that has gathered all the experts from all over the world."
Beryl's eyes flashed and his expression turned cold.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard the door to the conference room open.
"I'm sorry to have taken care of some messy problems. I've made everyone wait for a long time …"
Accompanied by Asmuntis and Azazle, Su Qingxue, who was dressed in a dignified blue dress and had her hair tied up elegantly, walked into the conference room.
"Madam!"
The group of big shots in the venue, some of whom they didn't know, all stood up and respectfully greeted him.
Beryl quickly gave up his seat, pulled out a chair, and invited Su Qingxue to sit down with a smile.
As soon as Su Qingxue sat down, her cold gaze swept across everyone present. No matter which one of these people she chose, they would all be older and more senior than her, but she wasn't afraid at all.
