Chapter 1211: Chapter 451: Confernt of Honors (Part 3)
Gakels stood in front of Long Bai, asking worriedly.
“Miss, what should we do now? Long Chen’s trio insists on seeing you. Will you et them or not?”
“eting them or not doesn’t matter. The key issue isn’t with Long Chen’s trio; they’re inconsequential to the Federation’s situation.”
Long Bai replied indifferently.
“Why do you say that?”
Gakels asked, slightly taken aback.
“From the mont this incident began, it was destined that our situation would be forced to the edge of a cliff. Because the Council Chairman cannot co out to dispel the rumors, any cover-up is useless! The enemy’s thod this ti is clever; they must have had guidance from soone skilled.”
Long Bai replied indifferently.
Gakels heard this and his expression grew more somber, confirming his suspicion that the Council Chairman’s condition was dire.
He sighed and asked hoarsely.
“Miss, what do we do now?”
“Take it one step at a ti; try to delay as much as possible. Let’s et with Long Chen’s trio first.”
After discussing with Gakels, Long Bai slowly stood up and said.
“Alright.”
Gakels slowly nodded.
…
Inside the main hall of the City Lord Mansion.
Long Chen, Long Ying, and Long Lan were seated on chairs.
These past few days, they hadn’t gone anywhere, just waiting inside the City Lord Mansion for Long Bai to return.
At this mont, a series of footsteps echoed.
Long Chen’s trio looked up towards the main hall door and saw Long Bai and Gakels entering, imdiately standing up.
“Third Uncle, Fifth Uncle, Seventh Aunt!”
Long Bai, changing from her usual aloofness, greeted respectfully.
“Niece, you’re back. Was the journey tiring for you?”
Long Chen’s trio exchanged smiles and pleasantries, treating Long Bai with much courtesy, showing none of their earlier aggressive deanor.
“Thank you for your concern. May I ask what urgent matter you wished to see about, Third Uncle?”
Long Bai asked calmly.
“Niece, we won’t keep it from you. Not long ago, the Federation’s central system was hacked, and rumors about father are rampant. We, as his children, haven’t seen him for a hundred years and miss him terribly. Can you take us to see him?”
Long Chen responded tactfully.
“Yes, our request isn’t unreasonable, is it?”
Long Ying and Long Lan echoed in agreent.
Long Bai sighed slightly and said.
“Third Uncle, your requests are reasonable and there’s no issue. In fact, I also wish for you to see the Council Chairman, but….”
Hearing this, Long Chen’s trio tensed up and hurriedly asked.
“Long Bai, has sothing happened? Please tell us quickly.”
“I didn’t want to tell you, but the current situation forces it. Grandpa’s condition is indeed not good, so it’s impossible for you to see him.”
Long Bai said to Long Chen’s trio.
Upon hearing Long Bai’s words, Long Chen’s aged face imdiately darkened.
A flash of brilliance flickered in Long Ying’s eyes.
Long Lan was shocked and exclaid.
“How can this be? If that’s the case, we must see father and check on him.”
“No, you cannot see him.”
Long Bai shook her head and replied.
“Long Bai, don’t go too far! Father’s condition is bad, and you’re stopping us from seeing him. What are your intentions?”
Long Lan angrily questioned.
“It’s not that I’m stopping you, but Grandpa doesn’t want to see you.”
Long Bai replied calmly.
“How is that possible? I don’t believe you.”
Long Lan returned, slightly losing her composure.
“Seventh Aunt, have you considered why Grandpa chose as his caretaker instead of you? It’s because he trusts . Since Grandpa trusts , what reason do you have to doubt ?”
Long Bai spoke forcefully.
Long Lan was rendered speechless, unsure of what to say.
In their minds, their father’s decisions were never wrong; questioning Long Bai was questioning their father.
At this point, Long Chen sighed deeply, speaking wearily.
“Long Bai, we understand. Since that’s the case, we won’t see father to avoid causing trouble. But please take good care of him, and notify us imdiately should anything arise.”
“Alright!”
Long Bai replied indifferently.
“Let’s go.”
Long Chen said to Long Ying and Long Lan.
Long Ying and Long Lan silently followed Long Chen out.
After the trio left, Gakels breathed a small sigh of relief and said to Long Bai.
“At least we’ve temporarily appeased the trio, but the situation is truly worsening. I’ve just received news that the fleet transporting supplies from the Cosmic Army Headquarters has been attacked by the chanical Clan.”
Long Bai heard this and turned to Gakels asking.
“How is the situation? Are the supplies alright?”
“Miss, there’s no need to worry. General Xinlad, risking his life, killed the V-type Fortress Level Morgvag and successfully repelled the chanical Clan. The supplies have been safely brought back.”
“That’s good.”
“However….”
“However what?”
“General Xinlad was already on the promotion list to General, and now with his great rit, it’s almost certain he will be selected! The problem is, while his abilities are good, he is very cunning and his character lacks integrity. Moreover, he’s one of Long Ying’s people. If he gets promoted, it’s not a good thing.”
Gakels said, distressed.
Hearing this, Long Bai said coldly.
“I originally planned to push Mia for the General position, but unfortunately Mia also lacks integrity.”
“Sigh, what do we do now?”
Gakels asked with great difficulty.
