After he said that..,
The old man ignored these so-called big shots in the room and slowly left the conference room with his walking stick.
Charles was an outsider with a different skin color. Even if he could understand the conversation of the people present, he still did not dare to speak much because of his identity.
Therefore, he just nodded politely to everyone in the room and followed the old man out of the room. When he left, he took the initiative to reach out and gently close the door of the conference room.
After the old man and Charles left..,
Everyone in the room fell into silence.
At this moment, just as some of the people present had expected, after Lu Jin's' verbal reminder ', almost everyone quickly reacted. Not only did they realize the intention behind the old man's words, but they also understood how foolish their thoughts were.
Except for the Tang Sect, when they maintained their silence just now, they had already missed the opportunity to leave a 'good impression' on the old man. They even gave the old man a negative image that they were still only thinking about themselves.
When the atmosphere in the room was silent..,
Zhang Chulan and the others, who were not representatives of the inhuman sects but participated in the meeting as the assistant in charge, did not have as heavy an expression as the big shots around them. Instead, they carefully observed the small movements of everyone present.
Then..,
Zhang Chulan noticed a few unusual existences at this moment.
Ren Fei, Xu Si, and the other people in charge looked calm. That was because they, who worked in the company, could be considered the power in the old man's hands. Even if they really wanted to do something in the name of the company, it was not something they could easily decide on their own.
Although the ten-year-olds were not so nervous about the old man's attitude, a few of them could be considered the older generation. It was inevitable that they would begin to consider their responsibilities as elders because of the words the old man left before he left, and because of this, they were a little absent-minded.
Based on the old man's identity..,
Zhang Chulan thought that all the inhumans present who did not belong to the company, even if they knew very well that they had not been directly sentenced to death by the old man, should at least be distressed by their behavior of 'angering' the old man.
The expressions of most of the people present were almost the same as what Zhang Chulan had guessed. However, there were some who didn't seem to care at all, and there were also some who were obviously betrayed by the old man, but still had a smile on their faces.
Fung Jung-ho.
This person was neither the leader of the Mutant Group that belonged to the company, nor was he one of the older generation that the old man had pointed out.
But as the leader of the World Society who was also one of the Ten Strongest and had also strengthened his strength through Ma Xian 'er, such a person … actually didn't mind that he had angered that old man?
He didn't even bother to pretend that he was aware of her gaze. Instead, he smiled and nodded at her … What exactly was he up to?
Could it be that the World Society had already surrendered to that old man?
So he didn't care about the old man's attitude?
And on the other side …
Zhang Chulan sat in the corner and turned to look at Tang Xin, whom he had interacted with several times. He couldn't help but frown at the sincere smile on Tang Xin's face.
He could not understand why the Tang Sect, which was already in decline, could still make Tang Xin, the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect, laugh so happily when he knew that he would become a stepping stone for the future generations.
Could it be that the Tang Sect … was willing to risk everything for that old man's vision just because he didn't give them a clear answer at all?
What ancestral teachings?
Back then, the old Sect Leader of the Tang Sect, Tang Miaoxing, comprehended Danshi and said before he died that he wanted you to strengthen the Tang Sect!
You took over the position of Sect Leader from Tang Miaoxing, but not only did you give up Danshi, which was seen as an opportunity by the Tang Sect, but you even took the initiative to take on a job that didn't have a clear 'guarantee'!
And now, you're laughing so happily …
Are you stupid?!
But, although that was the case …
Zhang Chulan had more or less guessed that the Tang Sect's behavior might be caused by the so-called national righteousness.
He indeed admired the Tang Sect's thinking that was no different from that old man's, but rationally … he still felt that from the perspective of a sect's inheritance, this was equivalent to going against the will of a sect's existence and inheritance.
Noble? Very noble!
Stupid? Very stupid!
But it was also because of this that they were worthy of respect!
Zhang Chulan thought that from the perspective of the Tang Sect, considering the rejection and decline they had suffered in recent decades, even if they clearly understood that national righteousness was the so-called ancestral teachings, it was impossible for them to be as selfless as the people of the Tang Sect.
Thinking of this..,
He once again looked at Fung Jung-ho, who was in the position of the ten leaders in front of him. He gradually began to doubt the abnormal behavior of the World Society.
After all, if the World Society had really surrendered to that old man long ago, why didn't they stand up with the Tang Sect just now?
The Feng Family's World Society was clearly in the circle of mutants, but they watched as most of the other people were 'cheated'. Weren't they afraid that others would find out later and treat the World Society as a 'traitor'?
This didn't seem like something a tactful person like Fung Jung-ho would do …
"Hmph, you don't care about the price for yourself, but you're calculative for others. In the end, you'll end up with a bad ending for both sides. This is really the ending that some people who are good at scheming deserve." Lu Jin felt the heavy atmosphere in the room and couldn't help but hit the nail on the head.
"Hehehe … Benefactor Lu, you don't have to blame everyone present. The truth is just as the old leader said. After all, it's a human nature that's difficult to change." Master Jie Kong pressed his palms together in front of his chest.
"He obviously knows this very well. That's why he only came here today to confirm it. He didn't sentence us of our sins before he left. It might also be an opportunity that the old leader gave us out of kindness."
"Next …"
At this point..,
He directly swept his gaze across the big shots present with heavy expressions and said,
"What should we do, what should we do …"
"I believe that after today, all of you should be very clear about what exactly is the best choice for you in the future … for the sect. Don't waste the kindness of the old benefactor before he left."
As soon as these words were spoken..,
The big shots of the sect, who had originally thought that the future was gloomy, or at least, it would be difficult for them to be valued anymore, all had their eyes lit up because of this reminder. There were even some people who rubbed their fists and palms together to express their attitude when the old man had already left. No one knew who they were showing it to.
After a long time..,
The noise in the room that had been restored due to Master Jie Kong's reminder gradually subsided,
Ren Fei, who had been chosen as the representative of the company in charge of this meeting, waited until the big shots of the eccentric sects were no longer silent before she adjusted her emotions on the stage and slowly said,
"The future is something that we need to fight for ourselves. All our beautiful visions can only be seriously considered after we solve the problem …"
"Regarding the deployment arranged by the company, is there any senior who has any objections? If not … When the day of the war arrives, everyone must act according to the plan patiently. We must not reveal our flaws in front of the enemy."
"After all, the battle method of the eccentric cooperating with the support of ordinary people might be the best choice for us to minimize our losses and sacrifices before we face Yinggou."
"If there are no objections …"
"No one can refuse to cooperate with the command for various reasons after the war begins."
"I hope that everyone present can understand that the company has always been neutral from the beginning to the end. We will not attempt to indirectly change the situation in the eccentric circle through this war. There will be more or less sacrifices during wartime … This is also a normal situation that no one can avoid."
At this point..,
She found that none of the big shots of the eccentric sects present were as afraid of their own losses as before, so they always wanted to 'discuss' with the company to at least guarantee something. Thus, she finally heaved a sigh of relief and said,
"Alright then …"
"Next, we will integrate the information that all parties have, in order to seek opportunities for battle through various details, as well as the weaknesses of Yinggou and the other monsters."
"If anyone present has anything to add later, please point out the problem at any time …"
…
Everywhere was connected to the company headquarters,
The underground parking lot.
Charles helped the old man open the door of the black car and carefully helped the old man into the back seat of the car. Then, he closed the door and sat in the driver's seat alone.
"What's wrong?" The old man noticed Charles peeking at him through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but smile.
"Kid, you've been by my side for quite some time. Is today the first time you've met an old man like me?"
"Uh … hehe, you're thinking too much. I just feel that people like you usually live too tirelessly." Charles sat in the driver's seat and scratched the back of his head. He smiled embarrassedly at the old man in the rearview mirror.
"If I were to swap places with you, I think a person like me … would have vomited blood from so many troublesome things."
"So, other than Master, even that Wang Ye back then can't do it. You're the person I admire the most in my life. You have to know … you're just an ordinary person."
"Hehe …" The old man shook his head with a disapproving smile. "I'm still far from it."
"I just don't want this land that countless ancestors are willing to sacrifice everything for because of my own problems. In just a hundred years … a thousand years, it will return to a chaotic world like human history."
"History, ancestors … With those pearls and jades in front of me, I'm just progressing according to the original plan. If you really want to admire this old thing, you'll have to wait until your master and I succeed in our plan."
Hearing this,
The smile on Charles' face froze. "You … Are you really willing to die for this plan?"
"Old Leader …"
"I've been by your side for quite some time, so I can more or less guess some of your plan with Master. If someone has to bear the responsibility for the problems that have developed to this day, why can't it be the executors who once acquiesced to the existence of a series of problems?"
"Your decisions have always been made according to the actual situation, so if there's a day when you really want to settle the score … What's wrong with you?"
"Not bad …" The old man looked at Charles in surprise. "Your Mandarin is improving fast. Now you can even speak to an old man like me."
As soon as Charles realized that the old man was trying to change the topic, he began to get emotional and his language became a little stiff.
"Old Leader, please don't change the topic. I'm your …"
"Then how many of those unqualified executors or those relatively qualified executors do you think will really take the initiative to stand up and solve the problem?" The old man shook his head and interrupted.
"Everyone is different …"
"Some people hope to live forever, while others hope to live a better life in just a hundred years. They turn a blind eye to the problems and wait for others … or people who are more capable to solve the problems. Morally, you can't say that they are guilty of heinous crimes."
"After all, they can always give a relatively reasonable explanation, so you can't say anything about them at all. They are unambitious and mediocre … They are undoubtedly people like that."
"So, the root of the problem lies with people like me because it is people like me who have 'tacitly approved' their existence …"
Charles saw that the question was directed to the old man again, so he couldn't help but hurriedly refute.
"But if it were anyone else, what can they do about them? In the end, they can only pray that they have some self-awareness …"
"So …" The old man smiled and said, "Whoever is in this position should take the main responsibility. If they don't even have a little responsibility, how can they be elected?"
"Even if it's Little Zhou, a student of mine who has gone astray, I'm afraid he would have the same opinion as me …"
"The greater the power, the greater the responsibility …"
"If a good person doesn't want to be too tired, then he only needs to consider his position and what he should consider specifically. To be able to do what he should do well … That's already very rare."
"If all good people are like you, then being a good person … is too difficult." Charles' tone gradually weakened because he already understood that no matter what, it would be difficult to change the old man's decision.
"After I'm gone, if you have time in the future, talk to your master more often …" The old man didn't deny it, but mentioned Liu Xiaojiang again.
"After all, he can be considered a Taoist priest, and some truths that have long existed in this world, the ancestors who are also Taoists know better than us. In addition to some of his own experiences in recent years … your master is actually more suitable than me to answer this question."
"Now, let's go …"
