Chapter 1050: Chapter 540: Invisible Struggles
Quintusâs face fell as he hadnât expected such a fierce reaction from Azure Dragon.
After all, it wasnât just Azure Dragon who had to take the blame for this matter.
The entire Council Seat was involved; even if there were criticisms, it would only last for a while.
Although specifically naming Azure Dragon as the third person was somewhat retaliatory, Gusta and Anatoli had already agreed.
Saying two words, "I agree," is it that difficult?
Although they were blocked this time, once the Council Seat members have been replaced, they can still amend the rules, albeit with greater consequences.
Quintus, somewhat annoyed, listened as Azure Dragon continued, "I have a simple proposal."
"Anyone involved in crimes like human trafficking and organ trafficking that violate human rights shall not be allowed to join the High-level Life Form Union."
"Additionally, if more than five Council Seat members express objections, a council meeting can be convened to decide on the membership status."
"Who agrees?"
This proposal was much more reasonable, offering a response on every level, causing people to nod in agreement, yet they remained silent.
"I agree."
Anduin said through clenched teeth, garnering several glances.
"I agree too." Bellamina was the second to speak.
"I agree too..." The third was Perkins. With three people already stepping forward, the others couldnât stay silent any longer.
Voices of agreement echoed, while Gusta and Anatoli stayed silent, but the majority still carried the vote.
Tan Ding and Alves exchanged glances, both frowning.
If they were in charge, they would put Azure Dragon last, ensuring a majority vote where Azure Dragonâs consent wouldnât matter, but this Quintus...
Quintus watched coldly, clapping expressionlessly, "Lord Azure Dragon certainly takes interstellar stability as their responsibility. I hope everyone will learn from Lord Azure Dragon."
"Alright, letâs move on to the third proposal." Quintus said solemnly.
Tan Ding looked surprised, Alvesâs eyes narrowed; where did this third proposal come from?
"Regarding the duel rules for Council Seat replacements."
Quintus continued on his own: "It was determined at the first regular meeting of the High-level Life Form Union that Council Seat replacements would be determined by duels."
"But this proposal is too rough, with many details undecided, such as the number of people to accept duels at the same time, the interval between duels..."
He paused here, "And the most critical point, whether weapons and other non-personal methods can be used during duels."
Suddenly, all eyes turned towards Azure Dragon.
Thereâs no doubt who this proposal is targeting.
Quintus looked down at everyone: "I believe that what is compared in duels should be oneâs own strength, so no means outside of oneself should be used. Who opposes?"
Everyoneâs eyes were still on Azure Dragon, waiting to see his reaction, but he looked indifferent, slightly closing his eyes, as if he didnât care.
Tan Ding frowned; this proposal wasnât part of their plan. Adam had told him it was best to retain Azure Dragonâs Council Seat.
So this time, they did not plan against Azure Dragon, but Quintus acted on his own, though he knew the reason.
The Three Civilizations had already divided the Council Seats; apart from Gusta and Anatoli, the remaining eight seats could be replaced.
Due to the Empireâs prior advantages, they only got two seats.
The Federation and Star Alliance split the remaining six seats. The most noteworthy was the vice-chairman seat; the Federation refused to send anyone to challenge Azure Dragon.
After some tug-of-war, the Star Alliance took over Azure Dragonâs seat, thus the vice-chairman seat also belonged to them.
Alves looked calm. He didnât have any special thoughts on this matter; after all, they had already pushed Azure Dragonâs seat to the Star Alliance, and how they handled it was their affair.
"I oppose."
This time, the silence did not last long; it was Anduin speaking, "This proposal is targeted, unfair, and should not be discussed at the Council Seat."
Quintusâs eyes turned cold.
"Indeed, I oppose it too." Bellamina echoed, "This involves many aspects that canât be decided in just a few words."
"This matter requires more detailed discussion."
This time, the speaker surprised everyone, it was Tan Ding sitting in the supervision seat.
Did the Empire and Star Alliance not reach an agreement?
Everyone felt a stir in their hearts.
"I oppose." The third to speak was the Dwarf King, stocky in stature, seemingly close with Reynolds.
"I oppose..."
"I oppose..."
Following this, other than Gusta and Anatoli, everyone opposed this proposal.
The minority had already surpassed the majority, and they eventually expressed agreement too.
"Very well..." Quintus said expressionlessly, "Then everyone ponder how to defeat Reynolds and Mikhail."
The two of them?
Everyone couldnât help but think, considering the depth of those two Divine Craftsmen, no one could confidently say theyâd win.
"We believe our challengers are not just those two; may I ask how we will defeat others?" Anduin said coldly.
Everyone understood Anduinâs meaning, the news that the Three Civilizations want to replace their seats wasnât a secret.
Instead of worrying about Reynolds and Mikhail, itâs better to worry about the people sent by the Three Civilizations.
"Actually, this matter is quite simple." Anduin said: "As long as we ensure that those two Divine Craftsmen do not participate in the Councilâs chairman seat rotation, this proposal will not appear again."
Quintusâs face darkened, cutting off directly, "In that case, this matter will be discussed later."
Li Ming wasnât concerned; he never intended to guarantee anything.
