Chapter 803: Chapter 317: I Really Want to Improve! (6k)_2
Heh, donât think I donât know those little tricks of yours. I usually donât intervene because weâre colleagues, and I understand you have to look after your followers.
At least none of you have truly betrayed the interests of the Martial Cultivation Association...
But donât expect me to hide it from the president.
However, it seems the president has long been aware of your actions, just hasnât really taken steps to investigate.
If this time you provoke the presidentâs wrath and he orders an investigation...
You should know the consequences."
The lead intelligence officer did not disguise his threats in his tone, though, within Tier Six, his strength was not considered strong, and there were even two people present who could easily overpower him.
Still, he had a very useful status, as he was one of the founding members who initially formed the Martial Cultivation Association with the president, and is now one of the vice presidents!
Although his abilities were lacking, the president standing behind him was a different story.
Moreover, because he managed the intelligence operations within the Martial Cultivation Association, almost everyone present had some dirt that he held, and the presence behind him implicitly overshadowed everyone else in attendance.
As the intelligence director, he was very clear about the behaviors of these Tier Six individuals, even if they initially joined because of the ideals of the Martial Cultivation Association.
But after mingling in the Martial Cultivation Association for so long, those so-called ideals had remained only on the surface, becoming a means to gain benefits under the banner of the Martial Cultivation Association.
Nowadays, they wouldnât lift a finger without profit, unwilling to exert any effort.
However, that doesnât mean there were no members who stuck to their ideals, just that those who did had long since sacrificed themselves for those ideals.
In the end, only these people were left.
The enemy this time was evidently not weak, and if they werenât reprimanded, never mind collaboration, not dragging each other down would be a remarkable feat!
Each moment that they couldnât quickly defeat the enemy, this group, for self-preservation, could turn tail and run without hesitation.
If he didnât seize the command authority, they could forget about fighting this battle!
Sweeping his gaze over the Tier Six members present, the pressure in his eyes made them bow their heads in silence, feeling that this time the stick had worked well. He then abruptly changed his tone, ready to offer his carrot.
"But looking on the brighter side, this time we have no less than six Tier Six individuals working together, so long as everyone gives their all, we have a sure victory.
And once we defeat the opponent, at least weâll have a result to present to the president.
If the president investigates, we can be in a better position to negotiate than others, right?
If the president gets angry and some of those folks fall, their leftovers must be divided among someone.
With the president leading, the remaining wouldnât dare to touch it, so wouldnât it all fall into your laps in the end."
The vice presidentâs tone shifted from stiff to smooth and full of temptation, like a cunning merchant, his promises stirring everyoneâs hearts.
Turning his gaze back towards him, everyoneâs eyes were filled with crafty thoughts.
"Reward is another matter, mainly I canât stand those believers who defile the Transcendent with borrowed divine power!
Itâs not for me to say much, but as for me, Lune, Iâll never back down!
Speak up, tell me what needs to be done!"
This loud voice drew everyoneâs attention to him, an incredulous look in the eyes of several Tier Six individuals.
It was the same person who had initially been complaining, and they knew it was merely a motto spoken aloud.
What surprised them was this "hotheaded" person, who seemed to lack brains, surprisingly showed such wisdom by being the first to jump up and declare allegiance.
Seeing that the lead position had been snatched, the rest did not hesitate, promptly jumped up to similarly assure it wasnât for the profits but rather the ideals of the Martial Cultivation Association.
With this, the vice president chuckled coldly in his heart, thinking that, indeed, itâs still profit that moves them...
He felt the presidentâs frustration from the last meeting; perhaps he had realized it long ago but refrained from taking action due to considerations.
This time, because of their ineffectiveness, they not only caused the loss of a truly ideologically-driven member but also damaged the reputation of the Martial Cultivation Association.
The president must really want to take action this time...
But ultimately, itâs not his decision to make; all he needs to do is complete this mission excellently to restore their face!
"Alright, letâs settle this charade."
The vice president coldly spoke, his icy gaze instantly silencing everyone present.
"Although the target doesnât have any obvious weaknesses, like Lune said, their seemingly comprehensive abilities are indeed a weakness.
Comprehensive abilities mean none are outstanding, and when faced with situations that exceed their capacity, they have no means to break through.
This time, we have a total of seven Tier Six members as long as no one messes up, our strength is definitely sufficient.
But even the most stable situation doesnât mean we can afford not to prepare!
We must prepare against the tactics of these Red Moon believers, since theyâre also believers relying on divine power, possessing some unique abilities.
Like the black shield that divides the battlefield, and their endurance that outmatches normal Transcendents, these are the aspects we need to prepare for.
Come on, letâs discuss, any thoughts?
Lune, you go first!"
With the stick and carrot used appropriately, the Tier Six members present finally ceased to wander outwardly, acting as though it was none of their concern.
