Chapter 671: Chapter 671: Giving Xue An an Explanation (3rd Update)
Zhongdu.
In a highly specified meeting room.
When the live footage showed Xue An turning the infinite seawater into a water sphere, then smashing a deity into nothingness.
The meeting room fell silent as death.
It was then followed by an uncontrollable uproar.
“Quiet down!” The general sitting in the main seat knocked on the table, his shoulder stars indicating he was, unmistakably, a Commander-in-chief of the Nation.
The meeting room quieted down.
Then the Commander-in-chief spoke in a heavy voice, “What are your thoughts on what just happened?”
The people in the meeting room looked at each other, but no one spoke.
The Commander-in-chief cast his gaze towards a man with gold-rimmed glasses and asked, “As the supervisor in the oversight committee specifically responsible for researching these cultivators’ abilities, don’t you have anything to say?”
The man with glasses stood up, pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then said with a wry smile, “Great General, from the beginning, I tried to analyze just how powerful this Xue An’s abilities are, but later on, I gave up.”
“Oh? Why is that?” The Commander-in-chief looked puzzled.
The bespectacled man sighed, stood up, and went to the large screen, rewinding the footage to before the giant wave had collapsed.
“Generals, I don’t know if you’ve noticed this giant wave. According to the reference objects in this footage, this wave is at least a hundred meters high. Do you understand what that implies?”
The man with glasses paused for a moment and then said, “If such a wave appeared anywhere, it could destroy thousands of kilometers of land, and I mean utterly destroy it! Even mountains would not be able to withstand these waves.”
The meeting room was filled with silence as everyone listened quietly.
“Such a wave should not be possible on Earth, but nothing is bizarre now that gods and demons have descended,” continued the man with glasses.
“But that’s not the point I want to make.”
Saying so, the glasses-wearing man fast-forwarded the footage slightly and then froze it on the scene where Xue An was holding up the water sphere that had transformed from the giant wave. He took a deep breath and spoke in a tone laced with a hint of terror.
“Just now, I did a quick calculation below, and a wall of water that’s over a hundred meters high weighs at least several hundred thousand tons.”
“Yet, this astounding mass was condensed into a sphere by Xue An, who held it up with one hand.”
“I don’t know how you all feel about witnessing this scene, but I felt a chill run through me.”
“Because it means that, without using any Divine Skills, Xue An’s physical strength alone is enough to look down upon all his rivals.”
At this point, a severe expression appeared on the face of the man with glasses, and then he addressed the Commander-in-chief saying, “Great General, Xue An has exceeded our system of measuring ability. With his strength alone, he is invincible in this world, not to mention his many unpredictable methods!”
After hearing this clear analysis, the Commander-in-chief’s expression also became grim as he nodded.
“Well said. Fortunately, this person is of the Hua Clan, and his actions are quite friendly towards our Hua nation. We must absolutely draw him in and not provoke him!”
Upon hearing these words, there was a murmur in the meeting room, and then General Wang Tao, who sat at the very end, stood up.
“Great General, since you’ve said as much, there’s something I need to report to you.”
“Please speak, General Wang.”
Wang Tao spoke gravely, “I think everyone might be aware that the Tianyuan Company was founded by Xue An himself.”
The crowd nodded.
Then Wang Tao’s face showed a trace of irony, “I don’t need to elaborate on the importance of Tianyuan. It’s fair to say that without it, our Hua nation couldn’t have withstood the gods and demons until now!”
“However, this has also led to many coveting Tianyuan.”
At this, the Commander-in-chief let out a light “hmph,” “What’s the situation?”
General Wang continued, “Great General may not be aware, but for some time, due to Xue An’s disappearance, Tianyuan Company has been controlled by a few of Xue An’s friends and the Chen Family. Yet, since the founding of the oversight committee, the Jin Family has risen abruptly and gained considerable power, then stretched their hands towards Tianyuan Company.”
“Not only did they parachute someone into the company as a head but also edged out Xue An’s old associates, attempting to take over Tianyuan for the Jin Family!”
The more Wang Tao spoke, the uglier the Commander-in-chief’s face became.
Finally, the Commander-in-chief banged his fist on the table, “Outrageous! In this time of national crisis, instead of pulling together, they’re scheming against each other?”
At this outburst, a few in the room paled and bowed their heads.
Seeing this, a smile tugged at the corner of Wang Tao’s mouth, “Great General, I’ve had dealings with this Xue An. I know that as long as you don’t provoke him, he absolutely will not oppose you!”
“But the Jin Family’s actions were indeed crossing the line with Xue An! I tried to warn them, but the Jin Family proclaimed that Xue An was dead and no longer a threat!”
“Now, Xue An has returned, and he possesses a might that can’t be ignored by anyone!”
“Also, you may not be aware, but a member of the Jin Family once controlled the An Family for quite some time, yet she bullied Xue An’s wife and was eventually killed by Xue An.”
“That’s why the Jin Family has always sought revenge. If this matter is not handled well, I fear…” Wang Tao’s voice faded, but everyone understood his implication.
If this matter could not be perfectly settled for Xue An, once the Divine Slaughter knew…
The consequences were simply unimaginable.
Without hesitation, the Commander-in-chief declared, “This is a matter of great importance and cannot be overlooked!”
Then he stood up and said sternly, “Effective immediately, have the Jin Family removed from Tianyuan Company, and strip them of all their privileges within the oversight committee!”
He then leaned on the table, sweeping his gaze over everyone in the room, and spoke with an expression as still as water, “From this moment on, I do not want to hear of anyone daring to harm Xue An and those around him, or else do not blame me for being rude.”
“Yes!”
“Additionally, starting today, we will establish an agency specifically responsible for liaising and negotiating with Xue An, which I will lead, and General Wang will be in charge of all relevant affairs!”
“Understood!”
“Gentlemen, this period of chaos brought by gods and demons was supposed to be a disaster, but the emergence of Xue An is a rare opportunity for our Hua nation to rise. Therefore, I will not permit anyone to cause disturbances. If they do, they shall be executed without mercy!” said the Commander-in-chief with a killing intent.
A chill ran through everyone present, and they all nodded in agreement.
As the highest decision-making body of the oversight committee, once the matter was discussed, the order was immediately transmitted downwards.
The Jin Family.
Once a bustling and distinguished household, it had now become desolate and quiet.
A cloud of sorrow and despair hung over the heads of everyone in the Jin Family.
