Hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked over.
Behind the old man, there was a tall figure. When they saw this person's face, the six councilors on both sides of the conference table suddenly widened their eyes and said in shock, "It's you?!"
They didn't expect to see this former elder again. Wasn't he wanted by the chairman? How dare he appear here in public?
At this time, someone noticed that this former elder didn't come alone. There was a figure standing in the dark behind him, like a ghost. Judging from the figure's outline, it seemed to be a woman, just like his shadow.
The old man felt as if a fierce tiger was looking down at him from above, as if the slightest abnormality would cause him to suffer a thunderous attack. He did not panic, and his expression did not change, but his shoulder suddenly moved, and a hard force burst forth from his bones. He believed that this move would not only shake off this hand, but would also be able to injure this person. After all, not just anyone could casually place a hand on his shoulder.
However, as soon as this hard force rose, he felt his shoulder suddenly sink. The palm on his shoulder was like a huge mountain pressing down heavily. Not only did it cancel out all the force he had burst out, but it also directly crushed over. With a bang, the legs of the chair he sat on exploded.
His body shook, and he felt a slight stuffy in his chest, as if he couldn't breathe.
The old man was shocked and couldn't help turning his head to look, but he saw a handsome young man's face that was much younger than he imagined. The young man's expression was indifferent, and his black eyes seemed to be looking at the conference table in front of him, but also seemed to be looking down at him.
"Who are you?" The old man suppressed the shock in his heart and said in a low voice.
Hearing the old man's words, the clever young man next to him immediately scolded, "Bastard, give me your dirty hand. Who are you? How dare you trespass here, you want to die …"
As soon as he said the word "die", his voice became distorted.
He saw that his neck was strangled, and a bald strong man wearing a mask flashed in from outside, carrying a huge black bag on his back. He strangled the young man's throat like he was holding a chick, and said in a low voice, "Kid, try saying what you said again."
The young man's throat and windpipe were pressed down. His face was flushed and he couldn't breathe. At this moment, it was difficult for him to even make a sound, let alone speak smoothly.
"Everyone, long time no see. Did you miss me?" Dean's voice was flat. There was no emotion in his voice.
All six of them were members of the dark church. They had been through many battles with the Holy Church. How could they not see that the old man was under Dean's control. They were shocked. The seemingly ordinary old man had beheaded several great knights of the Holy Church. His body looked like a skeleton but it contained terrifying power. But at the moment, he was so easily controlled by Dean!
Thinking of the many possibilities that could lead to this person appearing here, everyone felt their scalps go numb. This was a person wanted by the chairman! Since this person dared to appear here, there was naturally a possibility that he could silence them!
"Elder, Elder, we all miss you very much." A bearded middle-aged man revealed a rather natural smile, but the stiff muscles on his face made the smile look somewhat forced.
"Yes, elder, we all miss you very much." Another strong man immediately added.
The calm old man's heart once again set off a huge wave as he heard the words of the two men. He didn't expect that this young man was the missing elder. Moreover, he dared to appear here.
"I know that everyone misses me, so I came back." Dean's expression was indifferent and natural as he said: "I heard you mention about the elders' meeting. I seem to remember that half a year ago I promised that after six months I would make the 9th region one of the top five regions. I don't know if you still remember?"
The old man was surprised. The six members of the council were also startled. They looked at each other.
They naturally remembered these words, but after Dean's disappearance, they regarded these words as the latter's bragging and did not take it to heart. After all, they were used to this kind of thing. When they first took office, they promised a very high goal, and the purpose was just a means to win over people's hearts. After a long time in office, the foundation would be deep, and who would dare to mention the goal set at the beginning of taking office? Unless they didn't want to mix with the others.
"I always keep my word. I will personally participate in the elders' meeting." Dean calmly said.
Sergei couldn't help but secretly curl his lips as he heard Dean's words. In his heart, Dean was definitely one of the most untrustworthy people. Dean was not a person who would talk about his reputation, but a person who wouldn't get up early if there was no profit.
The six of them looked at Dean. After a while, the previous strong man cautiously said: "Elder, you are no longer an elder of the 9th region. The elders' meeting has always been attended by the elders. I'm afraid …"
"It doesn't matter." Dean indifferently said: "It may be so before me, but it may not be the same after me."
The strong man was tongue-tied and couldn't speak.
The old man was shocked as he heard Dean's words. He knew that Dean's strength was beyond that of a senior hunter. Perhaps his strength was comparable to the top few monsters in the outer wall. If Dean wanted to break into the elders' meeting then the old man wouldn't be able to stop him.
He quickly calculated in his mind: "I didn't expect you to be the previous elder. Nice to meet you."
"Yeah." Dean nodded slightly.
This kind of attitude seemed a bit arrogant. The old man was unhappy, but he didn't show it. He continued: "Although you have abdicated, since you are still concerned about the 9th region, you can come with me …"
Dean patted the old man's shoulder. This action interrupted the old man's words: "Get up and talk to me."
The old man's face turned ugly. He suppressed his anger: "I'm old so it's not rude for me to sit down and talk to you!"
Hearing his words, all six of them were shocked, including the teenager. These words were tantamount to admitting that Dean was stronger than him. The weak needed to be respectful to the strong, but Dean was too young, so there was no need to salute, so it was not rude.
"Don't talk to me about age." Dean said: "Otherwise my grandson can be your grandfather."
The old man was stunned. He didn't expect Dean to humiliate him so bluntly. He couldn't help but clench his fists. His heart was filled with anger. He gritted his teeth and slowly got up: "Since you want to sit, then sit."
Dean pulled out a chair and sat at a comfortable distance away from the table. He leaned on the chair and crossed his legs. At this time, everyone suddenly saw the figure of the woman standing behind him. The latter's face was covered with a black scarf, but a pair of pure black pupils were exposed.
Everyone felt a chill as they saw her eyes. It was as if they were being stared at by a pair of extremely ferocious eyes.
"What is your name?" Dean asked the old man who was standing next to him.
The old man was annoyed as he saw Dudian's attitude towards his subordinates: "My code name is' shooting wolf '."
"Who recommended you to be an elder in the 9th region?" Dean looked into his eyes: "Was it the Pope or the elder of the Monastery?"
The old man's face changed as he heard the word 'Pope'. The six people on both sides of the table were shocked as they had an instinctive sensitive response to the word.
The old man's heart was pounding as he didn't expect Dean to expose his identity. He was indeed the Pope who had used the Holy Church's network to infiltrate the 9th region. He was the highest level librarian of the Holy Church. Few people in the Holy Church had seen him for many years. It was because of this that the Pope had sent him. It was reasonable to say that no one would be able to see through his identity.
He controlled his heartbeat and calmed down: "What Pope? I was personally appointed by the chairman. Do you want to be an elder of the 9th region again? If so then it's useless to slander me. You have to get the permission of the chairman to be an elder. "
Dean gently tapped the table: "Come with me to the Holy Church after the meeting. I've wanted to see the Pope for many years."
The old man's face sank: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know who we are? Are you going to the Holy Church? Or are you going to betray the Holy Church? Are you going to ask for rewards from the hypocrites of the Church of Light? "
Dean said: "There is only one word in your sentence that is correct."
The old man frowned: "What?"
"Ask." Dean said: "I'm going to ask for something."
"You!" The old man's face was full of anger: "I won't go with you unless …"
"Unless you want to die." Dean said.
The old man was silent as he felt the killing intent in Dean's words. He thought that his face project was in place. At least he had cleared the suspicion of being a spy.
"When you go to the Holy Church, prepare to die!" He sneered in his heart. He could not wait for Dean to come to him.
Dean didn't pay attention to the old man as he turned to look at the six people. He saw a familiar face. It was Amy who was imprisoned by him. He didn't expect that the great potion master would come out again. It seemed that the old man had put her in an important position.
Dean didn't say anything. Since he was short of manpower at the moment, it would be useful for him to keep her.
Amy's heart tightened when she saw Dean looking at her. She quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. She was afraid that Dean would hold a grudge against her and imprison her again in that dark, dirty dungeon.
"Everyone, I'll give you three days to rule all the branches. Move all the stored money, alchemy and potions to the headquarters." Dean's expression was calm but his words were shocking.
Everyone was shocked. Gather all the resources to the headquarters? This … Is he going to rob the entire 9th region?
Everyone looked at him in amazement. What is this person thinking? Is he crazy?
Dean looked at Hawkeye who was next to him: "You are responsible for this."
Hawkeye looked at the boy that he hadn't seen for a long time. The familiar feeling in his heart came back again, but this time, he felt that the boy was a little different. First, his height had changed. He was taller than before. This was something that the animal glue mask couldn't change. In addition, he felt that the youth was more dangerous than before. There seemed to be a fierce soul hidden under the calm and indifferent face.
"Hawkeye understands." Hawkeye bowed.
He would rather work under Dean than work under the old man Shoot Wolf. Although he was afraid of Dean, he had an indescribable sense of trust in him.
Dean nodded: "I'll come back on the day of the elders' meeting. Oh, by the way, I should be wanted by the higher-ups because of my disappearance."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat as they heard Dean's words.
Dean looked at everyone's reaction as he got the answer: "I don't mind if you are interested. But don't affect the things I've told you. Otherwise you will have to bear the consequences."
He turned and walked away.
Aisha followed him like a shadow.
Sergei let go of his hand and followed Dean.
Everyone watched as the three of them left. When the sound of their footsteps faded away, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Amy immediately said to Old Man Shooting Wolf, "Elder, that scoundrel actually dared to appear again. We should immediately send someone to hunt him down!"
Old Man She Lang glanced at her. His gaze slowly swept across the faces of the others. He softly sighed, shook his head, and said, "It is impossible to capture and kill this person by relying on the manpower of our 9th region."
Amy was stunned.
"If my guess is correct then his strength has exceeded the hunter level. He is enough to compete with the limitless of the inner wall!" The old man slowly said.
Everyone was surprised as they heard his words. They didn't expect Dean to be so strong. It was completely beyond their expectations.
Amy gritted her teeth: "We can use poison. If we can't beat him then we can use sneak attacks, ambushes and assassinations! What's the use of strength? Will a strong person dare to swallow the poison I developed? "
The old man nodded: "That's right. But we will leave this person to the other regions. We just need to spread the news about him."
"That's good!" Amy was happy.
Dean took Aisha and Sergei out of the town. They rode towards the direction of the castle that was given to them by the Temple of Elements.
"Master, is that the headquarters of the dark church? What do they mean by the 9th region? I think the people inside are extraordinary." Sergei couldn't suppress his curiosity as he asked Dean: "Do you want to use the power of the dark church to fight?"
Dean replied: "Yes."
