Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

Chapter 1473 - 747: Lingering Aftershocks (Part 3)

However, the questions from the Seven Cities Council were proactively delivered to him.

Almost like an interrogation.

Yamen, which suffered the worst disaster and had the slowest relief efforts and the most inhumane actions, bluntly questioned Luo Island and Xiang State during the meeting—same earthquake, why did your Luo Island and Xiang State suffer such little damage, and why were you so well-prepared? Did you receive some information beforehand and not share it with everyone?

There were even hints in their words...

Did you cause this earthquake?

Ji Jue remained silent.

In his silence, his fists clenched.

In the video call, he couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

"You might be misunderstanding something."

He sighed, straightened his body, and suddenly smiled at the faces in the meeting room: "I indeed have the ability to cause such things... just, if it were me, do you think you'd still have the chance to sit here alive and talk to me?

Why don't we give it a try?"

Ji Jue raised three fingers: "Three days, just three days, and see if there's still a Yamen left on the map. If there's even a single building, even a toilet, then I lose!"

In the sudden silence, the faces in the meeting room quickly became rigid.

Especially under Ji Jue's gaze, the representative of Yamen grew pale, involuntarily twitching once, then again.

Completely cornered.

Started regretting listening to others' instigations.

Damn, how can this Ji be so malicious!

Originally, everyone was just jealous of Luo Island and Xiang State, trying to take advantage of this earthquake disaster, hitting randomly to see if they could extort something.

But as soon as they spoke, the other party directly flipped the table!

This is not right!

Our political game is not played like this, you should maneuver diplomatically with me, and everyone would tug at each other a bit, finally maintaining composure for the sake of the Seven Cities Alliance, at least aligning steps with everyone, not making others look too greedy... why did you explode!

"Hey, oh dear, look at this mess!"

"Not to such an extent!"

In the meeting channel, faces initially ready to watch the show and exert pressure squeezed out smiles immediately after brief astonishment.

"I told you, Yamen's little bastard has his head squeezed!"

Galisto, from the Dan City Federation, waved his hand, trying to persuade: "Mr. Ji, he's an idiot, why bother with him..."

Then, he too regretted it.

Because Ji Jue's gaze suddenly turned over, cold and condescending.

"He's an idiot, aren't you?"

Ji Jue cocked his head and asked: "Are you so happy because I haven't slapped you?"

Galisto's expression froze too.

"Cough, cough—"

An old lady from Ma City coughed twice, trying to smooth things over: "Mr. Ji, don't be angry, he's just trying to lighten the mood, doesn't want everyone to be too tense."

"Lighten the mood? Where were you doing that earlier?! Oh, you were still acting, right? Why aren't you acting now?"

Ji Jue sneered, glancing at the old face and retorted: "What, are you planning to dig into your coffin money to sponsor everyone?

If not, then shut your mouth!

And Xi Island, what are you laughing at, so happy for what? Are you delighted seeing the Seven Cities in disaster? Or are you thinking about setting off fireworks to celebrate over so many dead under your seat?

Tell me, am I giving you too much face?

Do I need you to teach me how to handle things? Better manage yourselves!"

He paused, staring directly at the silent old man in the corner: "And Fernan, speak up! Acting like an ornament?

You're the chair of the Seven Cities Council, tell me—is it my fault the Seven Cities suffered so much damage?"

Fernan's expression twitched for a moment, and he sighed helplessly.

"In the face of disaster, and such a heavenly calamity like an earthquake, how can it be one person's fault? Everyone's reactions have been a bit extreme."

He struggled to keep composed, continuing to gloss over: "But the Seven Cities Alliance, watchful and helpful, in the end, we still have to work together in the same boat, no need to argue like this.

If there's a problem, sit down, talk it out slowly, there's always a solution."

"Solution?"

Ji Jue's smile became even more mocking, "I do have a solution, faster, simpler, more convenient—just afraid you all don't dare use it."

In an instant, the meeting channel was once again dead silent.

Solution?

Isn't the solution right in front of your eyes?

Why turn a blind eye?

Surely, you yourselves aren't part of the problem, are you?
