Nanming City, in the conference room of the administration hall …
Yan Guilai sat coldly at a round table. Around the round table were the Seven Great Generals of the Human Race, Chu Wuqing, Dongfang Tianxiu, Beiye Piaoling, Sima Pianxian, and the Martial Emperor of Crape Myrtle. A total of 13 people were seated.
Apart from Shui Liu Xiang, who couldn't come in person, these 13 people were the ones with the highest authority in the Human Race. Everything in the Human Race could be decided by these 13 people.
Looking around, Yan Guilai said coldly, "Some time ago, I issued a decree ordering the Great Chu royalty to rent a thousand shops near the Teleportation Spirit Array to Liu Yan."
Chu Wuqing couldn't help but frown when he heard Yan Guilai's words. Obviously … he already knew what Yan Guilai was going to say in this meeting.
Chu Wuqing coughed softly and said, "Sir Consul, as far as I know, the businesses under Liu Yan are actually owned by you. Therefore … I think that your decree is not appropriate."
Yan Guilai glared coldly at Chu Wuqing and said coldly, "I am the head of the Ministry of Politics, the Great Consul of the Human Race. Do my decrees need to be approved by the Ministry of Law?"
Chu Wuqing looked coldly at Yan Guilai and said, "Everyone can meddle in the affairs of the world. You are abusing your power for personal gain. As the Chief Judge, I have the right to stop you."
Abusing power for personal gain!
Yan Guilai's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard Chu Wuqing's words.
While Yan Guilai was still in shock, the representative of the military, Ye Ling, who had replaced Shui Liu Xiang at the meeting, said, "Based on this matter alone, I support Chu Wuqing. Even the Chief Consul cannot issue such decrees."
Bai Bing, the head of the Ministry of Supervision, nodded and said, "That's right. Chu Wuqing's actions have been approved by the Ministry of Supervision. We also think that his actions are justified!"
Yan Guilai took a deep breath when he heard their words. However, he didn't say anything. His gaze silently swept across everyone's faces. Now, he wanted to understand everyone's thoughts before he could make a decision.
Under Yan Guilai's gaze, everyone spoke one after another. However, without exception, everyone supported Chu Wuqing. Not a single person supported Yan Guilai.
Finally, Bai Bing made a closing statement. She looked seriously at Yan Guilai and said, "Although we don't know much about you … back then, Big Brother Chu would never have done this. He would never have embezzled for personal gain!"
Taking a shaky breath, Swallow Return said, "Alright, it seems like … it's useless no matter what I say. You have already subjectively and maliciously interpreted my decree. Since that's the case, any more nonsense is unnecessary."
Yan Guilai stood up solemnly and said in a deep voice, "In that case, let's not talk about personal feelings. From now on, everything will proceed from the perspective of mankind!"
Bai Bing nodded in admiration and said, "That's right. As long as you stand from the perspective of mankind and strive for the welfare of all mankind, then no matter what, we will support you."
As soon as Bai Bing finished speaking, the military representative sent by Shui Liu Xiang, Ye Ling, said, "That's right. As long as you don't tarnish Big Brother Chu's reputation, I will support you in everything."
Nodding his head coldly, Yan Gui Lai said, "Since that is the case, then while everyone is here, let me announce that from now on, all the properties of the Great Chu Royal Family will be taken over by the Ministry of Politics."
In the face of Yan Guilai's order, Chu Wuqing frowned and said, "This isn't appropriate. The properties of the Great Chu royalty are the private property of the Great Chu royalty. What difference is there between this and robbery? This is also in conflict with the law. "
Bai Bing and Ye Ling nodded and said, "Private property is sacred and inviolable. Therefore …"
Seeing that the Ministry of Government and the Ministry of Supervision were all one-sidedly supporting Chu Wuqing, and that they were indeed standing on the side of reason, Yan Guilai didn't have anything to say for a moment.
Originally, Yan Gui had wanted to set up an elixir shop and sell the elixirs obtained from the treasury of Green Wood City to the military at an extremely low price, or even on credit. At the very least … he would first expand the military's army to about twenty million.
Although he only found ten million Martial Emperor pills in the treasury of the Magic Pill Technicians Association, Yan Guilai alone definitely couldn't use so many pills.
And if the military wanted to buy them, it was impossible. They couldn't afford them at all.
How could the human race, which had been accumulating pills for tens of thousands of years, be able to afford them when they were faced with a desperate situation where they could be wiped out at any time and only the southern region was left?
In terms of value, even the human race of a hundred years ago couldn't afford one-tenth of these pills even if they used up all their wealth.
Therefore, selling at a low price or on credit was the only choice.
However, whether it was selling at a low price or on credit, they all needed a place. Otherwise … where would they hand over the pills?
Letting out a sigh, Yan Gui Lai finally realized that although he had good intentions, once he entered the officialdom, there were too many restrictions. His good intentions might not be accepted. Instead, it would be easily interpreted with malice.
In just an instant, Yan Guilai felt a little disheartened. There were too many restrictions that made it impossible for him to stretch his arms and legs.
Nodding silently, Yan Guilai stood up and said solemnly, "If that's the case, then forget it. It seems that the seat of Consul is not suitable for me. You should choose someone else."
What! You …
Upon hearing that Yan Guilai was actually quitting, Chu Wuqing, Bai Bing, Ye Ling, Dongfang Tianxiu, Beiye Piao Ling, Crape Myrtle Martial Emperor, and Sima Pianxian all stood up at the same time.
Furrowing his brows, Chu Wuqing said, "I also know that you are very unhappy that I rejected your decree. However, it would be too immature of you to just walk away like this."
Nodding, Bai Bing said, "Although we all know that it's difficult to do something, what we need to do is to face it head-on and not back down."
Ye Ling stared deeply at Yan Guilai and said, "Don't be angry and don't lose your temper. What you did was not right. I really wanted to help you, but I wasn't in a position to do so."
Yan Guilai waved his hand and said, "I'm not losing my temper, nor am I being willful. It's just that … since you all still treat me like a child and never see me as a true Great Consul, it doesn't make much of a difference whether I take this seat or not."
Chu Wuqing frowned and said, "That's just your own opinion. Who told you that we don't see you as the Chief Consul?"
Yan Guilai glared coldly at Chu Wuqing and said, "If you really see me as the Chief Consul, then what right does the Ministry of Law have to reject my decree? Who gave you this right?"
In the face of Yan Guilai's question, Chu Wuqing raised his head proudly and said righteously, "The matters of the world, the people of the world …"
Fine, fine, fine …
