The night was heavy like water. For the S ranked squadrons, Bella Dean's elimination was truly too unexpected.
For Carolyn, it was even more awkward. In the Skylink, Divian had a very happy smile on her face. "How do you feel? That Wang Zhong should be All Mouthy King, right? You still haven't told me exactly how you got to know him and what happened between you two. I remember that you were in Tianjing City for a period of time, right?"
Carolyn pursed her lips, as she felt a slight urge to hang up the Skylink. Women were truly vexing when they started gossiping. "Even if he's All Mouthy King, that might not be a good thing."
Divian understood the meaning behind Carolyn's words. Both of them were at the peak of the Casted Soul Stage. One of the factors that determined victory was the depth of one's combat techniques, while the other was one's special abilities. Clearly, Wang Zhong had already displayed all of them. As for his special abilities, All Mouthy King didn't have any particularly strong ones. The only thing he had displayed was his extremely strong fire resistance, which was already extremely dangerous in a fight between experts.
"Let's not talk about him. Compared to Tianjing, I feel that we should pay more attention to Giant God Peak. At the very least, Tianjing's strength can be seen and felt." Divian tactfully changed the topic. This was the true reason why she had contacted Carolyn.
With a faint smile, Carolyn replied, "They're just borrowing someone else's shell to lay their eggs. However, I still have to admire their courage."
Divian gawked. "You're talking about …?"
"We've already investigated Dicaprio's identity. He's the grandson of the previous Chairman. As for the other squadron members, a portion of them have similar statuses. The commoners have also accepted the support of that faction."
Said Carolyn in an indifferent tone.
Although the previous Chairman no longer held any power, he had already formed a faction with him as the leader. Furthermore, it was very lively. Electing for the next Chairman was one of the methods. Through the Giant God Peak and the CHF, they had broken the monopoly of the aristocratic families in a certain aspect. This was another method and form of appeal.
It had to be said that Dicaprio's plan appeared to be extremely successful, and extremely daring. With his talent and status, if he was in Stuart, he should have a much wider future. However, he had quietly stayed in Giant God Peak for over 2 years.
Divian paused for a while before saying, "If that's the case, shouldn't you gather everyone?"
Giant God Peak was still alright. However, the meaning behind this matter had to be reminded. The competition between the 10 Great Families was under the premise that outsiders were not allowed to destroy this system.
After the various earth-shattering events on the first day, the battles on the second day had clearly changed to a certain extent. This was especially true for some of the powerful A-class squadrons that had undergone a metamorphosis. Once the legend of the undefeatable S-class squadrons was broken, their confidence increased, and they were filled with the desire to rise.
Regardless of how far the Tianjing squadron would be able to walk in the future, they would definitely be recorded in the history of the CHF, becoming a genuine example of a loser making a comeback.
This was also what the Federation wanted to see. To the entire system, what was needed was for a hundred flowers to blossom, and not for the aristocratic families to monopolize the resources. This CHF was a chance for the aristocratic families to redistribute the resources and show off their muscles. At the same time, it was also a chance for the other influences to break out of the encirclement. With Tianjing and Giant God Peak having achieved this, it would be extremely hard to find an opportunity to become famous under the heavens with a single battle.
In a small scale Skylink chat room, images started to appear one after another. The Torres Family's Alasi, the Mo Family's Mo Wen, the Vasilyevich's Vladimir, the Seer Family's Divian, the Musk Family's Tianqiong Musk, and the Potter Family's Laura. Everyone that appeared in the form of images waited quietly. Not long after, the Zhao Family's Zhao Yilong and the Gui Family's Gui Hao entered one after another. Looking around, Gui Hao gave a smile before sitting down on his seat. The last person to appear was Carolyn.
This small scale meeting was initiated by Carolyn and Gui Hao. People in their circle would have such meetings on a regular basis. Naturally, it was extremely rare for them to bump into each other at such a time. After all, they were all opponents.
Due to various reasons, everyone was still rather willing to acknowledge Carolyn's position. Clearly, Gui Hao and Vladimir were unwilling to give in to each other, while Mo Wen had maintained the Mo Family's neutrality. Compared to them, Carolyn's status as a female was a huge plus. Coupled with the fact that this was Stuart's home ground, they would more or less give her some face. Clearly, everyone had seen the empty seat. Did the Bella Dean people not come this time, or did they not invite them?
Bella Dean's defeat had rung alarm bells for the various great aristocratic families. Naturally, none of them felt that such a thing would happen to them.
"Carolyn, if you have anything to say, just say it. There's no meaning in us meeting like this during the CHF." said Tianqiong Marcus.
"Tianqiong, you're really calm and collected. Your Fiery Arrow squadron is the next target for those commoners." said Zhao Yilong with a smile. "Please don't follow in the footsteps of Bella Dean."
A frown appeared on Tianqiong Musk's face as he replied, "Victory and defeat are common occurrences for soldiers. Your Divine Dragon Academy isn't invincible."
With a faint smile, Carolyn replied, "There's no need to quarrel amongst our own people. This CHF was originally a reference for the distribution of resources for the younger generation of our 10 great families. However, it seems that our thinking has been too simple. For the past 10 years, the Federation has been actively nurturing their hidden strength. This CHF is also a chance for them to display their strength. Take Giant God Peak for example. This C rank squadron doesn't live up to its name, and is the arrowhead of that power."
"Whether our people rise or fall will depend on their own ability. However, we can't allow others to spoil the bigger picture. I hope that everyone will raise their spirits, and not fail miserably. Anyone who loses to an outsider will not be able to participate in the distribution of resources for the next 5 years." said Gui Hao with a smile. "In any case, if it's me, I won't have the face to take it."
A faint smile appeared on the Ice Prince Vladimir's face as he replied, "Gui Hao, you're being too extreme. Perhaps, this is the Federation's intention. According to what I know, Giant God Peak's Dicaprio is the grandson of the previous chairman. Their entire squadron is made up of elites. Other than Giant God Peak, there are 7 to 8 other squadrons that have obtained their support. They want to attack us, so it's normal for there to be a certain level of challenge.
Clearly, Vladimir did not plan on giving Gui Hao any face, and would not follow Gui Hao's rhythm. Hearing his words, the other few people gawked, as they never imagined that Giant God Peak would actually have such a background.
In the early days, the Federation was just a puppet for the various great families. However, with the development of the system, coupled with the support of the citizens, the Parliament had also formed its own influence and resources, and was no longer under the control of the aristocratic families. Naturally, the 10 great families were still deeply rooted in their foundations. However, the rise of new powers would never stop, as they were using various methods to break the monopoly of the traditional aristocratic families. The CHF was originally a meal on the plate of the 10 great families. However, never did they expect that they would also have their eyes on it. Furthermore, they had hidden it very deeply, and only revealed it during this 100 year grand ceremony.
"Actually, the problem is Tianjing." said Mo Wen all of a sudden.
Everyone instantly gawked, as that seemed to be the case. After Giant God Peak and a few other A ranked squadrons had displayed their powerful strength, the various great families had immediately started their investigations. More or less, they had found out about the influence of the Parliament, including the Blazing Angels and Blazing squadrons. The Federation had spent quite a bit of time to nurture them into combat strength. However, Tianjing was basically not within their scope of nurturing. Yet, the one that had broken the balance was him.
This caused the 10 great families to feel slightly baffled. If they wanted to target him, that fellow had no relations with the Parliament. If they didn't target him, it would indeed cause them to feel vexed.
