"Who are you?"
The young man who entered was naturally Tang Ye, and the mont he appeared, the six committee mbers in the room imdiately voiced their questions.
Tang Ye smiled and clapped his hands, his gaze sweeping around the room. Ignoring the seat that bore the na tag of "Commissioner He", he headed straight to the first seat where a tag "Commissioner Liu" was placed. This seat belonged to Liu Lancang and it was the seat of the highest-ranking person in the United District.
Liu Lancang, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, narrowed his eyes. There was a fleeting glint of coldness in his eyes, but no hint of anger on his face. This was clearly a man of deep cunning, who had reached a state of mind where his emotions no longer showed on his face.
Suppressing the surge of anger in his heart, he strolled to where He Jinzhan originally sat, seemingly unconcerned. He looked at Tang Ye with a sort of half-hearted smile, wanting to know what tricks this guy had up his sleeve.
Tang Ye, who had arrived at Liu Lancang’s seat, did not imdiately sit down. He leaned both his hands on the large conference table, his face glowing red.
Suddenly he clapped his hands as if he just realized sothing and laughed, "Oh, I almost forgot. I haven’t introduced myself yet. My na is Li Henian. So of you might recognize this na. I am the current Chairman of the Peace Party of the Shiwuguan Base and the legitimate new committee mber of the Jinhai Control Zone in the United District."
"New committee mber of Jinhai?"
"What?"
The others were shocked, and a hint of hostility seed to appear in the air.
"Yes, the previous Commissioner He had an... unfortunate accident and died! So, now I am the new committee mber."
Speaking of this, the smile on Tang Ye’s face grew wider as he looked at the high-ranking committee mbers with a playful look.
Just at this mont, the noise of gunfire and the clash of exoskeleton armor echoed in from outside, along with faint screams of despair. However, they were too high up, making it unclear what exactly was happening below.
Roar!
Bang!
Suddenly, the glass of the room next door shattered, and a huge dark shadow flashed past, accompanied by a shrill scream. Blood was sprayed diagonally on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room, making it a grotesque sight.
"What was that?"
Soone was startled but the committee mbers present quickly regained their composure. Looking closely, they saw a massive Level 3 zombie bird swooping down towards the ground with its wings flapping.
A soldier in uniform was riding on the back of the zombie bird. He was holding the reins excitedly in both hands.
"All mbers of the Dead Knight Corps, kill all resisters without rcy!"
"Yes, Sir!"
Deafening sounds echoed from below, accompanied by intermittent firing noises. The committee mbers present were shocked. Was there a war going on? Given the sounds, there seed to be an army fighting below, but when did these people arrive? And what was this Dead Knight Corps? How could humans ride on zombie beasts?
Can zombie beasts be tad?
These were the questions in everyone’s minds.
Unable to contain his curiosity, one of the committee mbers stood up from his seat and walked towards the window to see what was happening below. But as soon as he had done these actions, Ah Fu roared angrily, instantly shattering a side table against the wall with a kick. He brandished a pitch-black halberd, blocking the path of the curious committee mber.
"Try moving and see what happens!"
Ah Fu’s rough voice was filled with an intense murderous vibe and an incomparable aura, making all the others gasp in surprise and return silently to their seats.
The noise of the combat outside did not disturb Tang Ye. On the contrary, his smile intensified.
"Alright, we had a little interlude just now, let’s continue."
"Where did I stop? Oh yes, I was saying that I am now the new committee mber of the Jinhai Control Zone in the United District, and also the chairman of the Peace Party."
"The na Li Henian might not be clear to so of you, but I’m sure you all know about the Peace Party. After all, you all participated in the operation to exterminate the Peace Party. I won’t forget that."
"So, you’ve co here for revenge."
At this point, one of the committee mbers spoke up. Judging by the naplate, he was Shi Yanxing. According to Tang Ye’s knowledge, this man nad Shi was the committee mber from the Gao’er United District.
"What about it? What of it? Your United District has caused a lot of trouble," Tang Ye said without any hesitation.
Shi Yanxing’s face changed slightly but he remained silent. Judging by the commotion below, Tang Ye had clearly co prepared, whereas the six of them were not prepared at all. It seed they were in a precarious situation today.
As for He Jinzhan, who Tang Ye ntioned in his speech, how did he die? It was plain to see that he must have been killed by Tang Ye. What shocked them was that they hadn’t even received the news of He Jinzhan’s death yet. They were in trouble.
"Now you all are in a dangerous situation, do you know that? Your lives are in my hands."
Tang Ye’s face turned cold, and there was a noticeable drop in the temperature of the room.
"I don’t know what the Peace Party did to offend you, nor why you want to exterminate us so thoroughly. But as the saying goes, ’a Buddha struggles for a last incense stick, a man for his last breath.’ I have to reclaim our territory. We’ve suffered such great losses, and I hope... I can recoup it from all of you."
No sooner had he spoken than a committee mber from Renxi United District stood up, speaking with a friendly tone, "Yes, yes, last ti we indeed did wrong which caused Mr. Li to suffer greatly. It is natural for you to seek compensation. Given the circumstances, we will take a step back. After all, we were in the wrong. Now that Commissioner He is dead, we will recognize Mr. Li as the new committee mber. All assets under the Jinhai Control Zone are yours, Mr. Li. And, we, the old guys, can give up a certain amount of our benefits as an apology to you. How about that?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ye gave Commissioner Renxi a deep look. As he expected, most of these committee mbers were clever people and they could easily see that the current situation was extrely unfavorable for them.
It was also well-known that Li Henian, the chairman of the Peace Party, was a Level 6 New Human. Standing here, even the two Level 5 New Humans, who were committee mbers from Red City and Fu Hui, had to bow their heads. Facing a Level 6 New Human, their power was simply inadequate.
In this case, the only thing they could do was to appease Tang Ye, make him loosen his grip on them and not focus on them anymore. The most important thing at the mont was to save their own skins. As for dealing with the newly appointed committee mber of Jinhai, Li Henian, that could be left for later.
After all, who knows what the future holds?
And now, Shi Yanxing was doing just that, and his intention had been clearly seen by Tang Ye.
