As the saying goes, when the map is drawn, the dagger is revealed.
It was supposed to be a series of arrangements that the legends from the previous generation of the European and Korean divisions had worked together to plan. There were nine motions in total. The first eight were either light or heavy, but the real killer move that was left to the end was the ninth motion that mentioned "that matter".
It forced Number One, as the chief consultant of the honorary advisory group, to hold back his veto vote, forcing Number One to reserve his privilege for the most crucial motion.
Number One seemed to have followed the wishes of Crow, Li Daozai, and the others.
But at the last moment …
The cards were flipped.
The gamble was revealed.
The number one legend from the previous generation, who was supposed to be a passive participant, did not participate in the gamble at all. In other words, in the end … he directly flipped the gambling table.
From the very beginning —
He did not intend to play along with the other party.
The reason why he entered the game was just to watch a good show.
And the same thing, the dagger was revealed when the map was unraveled. It was only at this moment that he casually and casually revealed it.
The core of the strategy of Crow, Li Daozai, and the others at the beginning was to use the constraints of the rules and regulations. With Martin Bode, the supervisor and enforcer of the rules, they relied on the principle of majority voting in the seven-member honorary advisory group meeting to achieve their goal with an objective suppression of 4 votes against 3 votes.
But now —
Number One's response was miraculous and unexpected, adding an eighth seat out of thin air to the seven-member advisory group that had been fixed for several years.
This directly broke the fixed pattern for a long time.
Seven seats became eight seats.
Seven votes became eight votes.
In that case, all the original results of the motion would no longer be valid. Just like what Number One said at this moment —
Overturn and start over.
And the real sharp and crucial point was —
This seemingly domineering move that directly flipped the gambling table was actually within the scope of all the rules and regulations. From the beginning to the end, it perfectly adhered to all the rules and regulations of the headquarters of the World Telecommunications Association, and also perfectly adapted to the rules and regulations of the honorary advisory group.
Because to put it bluntly, some problems had been subconsciously ignored and forgotten for so many years, but it did not mean that the problem never existed.
Honorary advisory group.
China, South Korea, and Europe each took two seats.
However, the North American region only had Bullet as their consultant.
Originally …
It just didn't make sense.
But at that time, they couldn't find a second candidate from the North American division who was qualified enough to take on the role of Honorary Advisor, which caused this problem and position to be left unresolved.
Until this moment.
There was a solution to the problem.
He had found a suitable candidate for the vacant position.
Not only that, but this candidate had indeed perfectly fulfilled all the requirements of the honorary advisor. In terms of qualifications, even Crow and the others couldn't find any fault with No.2. Even the name of the division that No.2 and No.4 were in wasn't an issue. Because many years ago, No.2 and No.4 had been transferred from the Chinese division to the North American division due to certain work related reasons.
Therefore …
Everything fell into place.
The killer move was used at the last moment, turning the situation around.
Thanks to this move, No. 1 and the others were able to increase their vote count from the original three votes to four votes, breaking Crow, Lee Daozai, and the others' control over the Honorary Consultant Group's votes.
When there were three votes against four, there was indeed nothing they could do.
But now …
It was four votes against four votes.
All the motions were overturned and everything would no longer be the same.
However —
Suddenly, they heard Ghost's gloomy voice, "It's only four votes. At most, it'll be a tie. Aren't you, 001, overjoyed?"
Indeed.
The other legends gradually came back to their senses and came to a realization.
Although 001's killer move did catch them off guard and disrupted their original plan, taking a step back, the current situation was a tie of four votes against four. It didn't mean that their original motions could only be nullified.
According to the rules of the Honorary Consultant Group, once there was a deadlock in the final votes for a motion, the motion would be further forwarded to the Presidium of the World Telecommunications Association headquarters. The other three vice presidents, led by Chairman Lance, would conduct a second round of deliberation and finally make a decision.
The current situation … was no big deal.
At the level of the Presidium, the European and South Korean divisions had their own resources and connections that could influence the deliberations and decisions of the Presidium.
Therefore, at this point, the outcome of the battle was still unclear.
However, despite listening to Ghost's cold mockery, Number One's expression remained calm and unruffled. He looked toward the source of the voice and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Oh?"
"Are you overjoyed? I think … it's more appropriate to say the exact words."
His smile was calm and composed.
Ghost's pupils shrank slightly as if he sensed something was amiss, but he couldn't identify it at the moment.
Number One, on the other hand, had already turned to look at Crow and smiled.
"You've done a thorough study of my privileges as the chief consultant of the Honorary Consultant Group. You've even made so many preparations for a veto vote. But … it's a pity.
"There's still some homework that you haven't done enough.
"The authority of the chief honorary consultant … doesn't stop there."
At the end of the long table, Crow listened without saying a word. His eyes were dark and gloomy. He stared at Number One like a lone eagle and waited for him to continue.
However, Number One did not continue to give an answer. Instead, he turned to the old man sitting at the head of the conference table and smiled.
"Your Excellency Vice President.
"I think … you should be very clear about the rules and regulations in this area.
"Is it convenient for you to explain it to everyone here?"
Martin Bode gave Number One a deep look. His eyes narrowed slightly behind his presbyopic glasses, carrying an unfathomable meaning. Then, the old man nodded and spoke slowly.
"According to the regulations formulated by the World Telecommunications Association headquarters.
"In the honorary advisory group, as the chief honorary advisor, you have two privileges."
"First.
"The power of a veto vote once a year.
"Second —"
"When there are abstentions or other reasons that lead to the same number of votes in the meeting, the chief honorary consultant's vote … is equivalent to two votes. He is the leader."
It was still the old man's inflexible and inflexible tone.
However, the words that came out of his mouth were like a clap of thunder, blasting the minds of the legendary figures of the previous generation.
The veins on the back of Crow's hands, which were resting on the armrests of the sofa, suddenly popped up. Just like the face of the most mysterious Shadow Crow of the previous generation in Europe, he could no longer control the slightly twisted and ferocious expression on his face.
J took a deep breath, but his eyelids were still twitching uncontrollably.
Ghost fell silent, as if they had once again retreated into the shadows in the corner of the room.
Shield and Arrow once again looked at Number One with a hint of fear that could not be concealed.
Li Daozai slowly leaned against the back of the chair behind him. At this moment, his body was like a collapsing mountain, and he finally looked a little dispirited.
M closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
Only Number One was left looking around calmly. He calmly concluded the last sentence of the meeting.
"You want to play by the rules."
"Then I'll play by the rules with you."
"You lost."
