"Lord Blakes, given the circumstances, why don’t we invite the friend from the chanical Clan to assist us? With them guarding us, we won’t be so passive."
"They disappeared a long ti ago."
"Ah, disappeared? Where did they go?"
"Not sure, only the Dragon String Council President knows the inside story."
Blakes explained indifferently.
"Understood."
Su Ming nodded.
Buzz buzz~
Su Ming’s wristband suddenly vibrated, and a ssage popped up.
"Su Ming, co to the Dawn Hall quickly, sothing’s happened!"
Su Ming glanced at the ssage from Vice City Lord Okens, and his brow furrowed instantly.
"What’s wrong?"
Blakes asked calmly.
"There’s an urgent matter, I need to leave for a bit."
Su Ming said to Blakes.
"Go ahead, your health is fine."
Blakes replied bluntly.
"Alright, I’m leaving then."
Su Ming turned and hurried away.

------------------------------------
Federation Administrative Building·Dawn Hall.
The entire conference hall was crowded, and everyone was discussing passionately.
"Do you think Lord Gakels will give us a satisfactory explanation today?"
"Probably will, otherwise, how to quell public anger."
"Yeah! We’ve been beaten for no apparent reason for so long, so many people died, it’s simply outrageous, keeping this from us for so long."
...
At this mont, Gakels, with a tense face, hands behind his back, erged from the backstage of the Dawn Hall.
The originally noisy council hall instantly quieted down, and all eyes focused on Gakels.
Under everyone’s gaze, Gakels walked to the center of the council platform and said grimly.
"Silence!"
In a mont, everyone quieted down, looking at Gakels expectantly.
Gakels glanced at the crowd, and then continued.
"Regarding the alien invasion, the damage caused, and post-events compensation, resettlent, reconstruction, etc., start drafting..."
Before Gakels could finish, soone interrupted.
Bai Kedi, standing up first, challenged.
"Lord Gakels, shouldn’t you first explain?"
"Explain what?"
Gakels coldly looked at Bai Kedi.
Bai Kedi hesitated, then said to Gakels.
"Of course, explain why we were hit? All these years, we’ve always thought the Federation suffered because the enemy is barbaric and brutal, but it turns out it was because we stole sothing."
"Right!"
Nurous councilors echoed.
"Then what do you want to do?"
Gakels, expressionless, stared at Bai Kedi.
Seeing Gakels’ cold gaze, Bai Kedi faltered, mumbling without being able to say a word.
Long Ying, seeing Bai Kedi falter, stood up and said.
"Lord Gakels, let speak. The situation is now clear, the item is with our Federation, the chanical Clan, Chilami, Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, Dark Star Empire won’t spare us. They’ll soon attack, and we don’t even know what the item is. Don’t you find this ridiculous?"
"Sorry, I don’t know what the item is either, only the Council Chairman does."
"That’s simple, either let the Council Chairman co out and take charge, or bring the item out."
"The Council Chairman can’t co out now."
Gakels replied with a very grim face.
"Lord Gakels, this ti is different from before, you can’t fool us, you must give us a satisfying explanation."
Long Ying replied calmly.
"Right, just tell us honestly, what’s going on with the Council Chairman now?"
Long Lan also stood up to question.
The councilors also stood and questioned one after another.
"Lord Gakels, is it true, as the chanical Clan said, that the Council Chairman is dead or sothing’s wrong?"
"Keeping this from us won’t work."
"Yeah, we need to know the result now."
...
Vice City Lord Okens, looking at the excited crowd, felt increasingly troubled.
If Gakels doesn’t give a convincing answer at today’s eting, there might be serious problems.
Gakels’ face kept changing, then he spoke.
"Silence!"
"Silence!"
...
But the scene remained chaotic, as people continued to angrily accuse, ignoring Gakels’ words.
Gakels’ face beca incredibly grim.
Its understandable that such a situation occurred; the Federation being beaten inexplicably by various forces for so many years, and the Council Chairman still not appearing, with his life and death unknown, their patience had long reached its limit.
Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control.
Bang!
The council door suddenly swung open.
Everyone was shocked and turned to look.
Su Ming, wearing an Admiral Uniform, walked in with a serious expression.
"General Su Ming is here."
...
For a mont everyone quieted down, and order gradually returned to the council hall.
Su Ming glanced at everyone present, then walked to a corner at the back of the eting seats and sat down.
Okens breathed a long sigh of relief, thankfully Su Ming arrived at the critical mont.
Seeing the chaotic scene quiet down, Gakels spoke in a deep voice.
"Listen to , everyone."
Everyone concentrated on Gakels, patiently waiting to see what he would say.
"This matter is too significant for to decide alone, so I propose, sending soone imdiately to notify City Lord Alicia, Farren City Lord, Lord Long Bai to return. Then we’ll hold the highest-level eting to clarify everything."
Gakels told everyone.
"Good!"
Long Lan was silent for a few seconds after hearing Gakels’ words, then reluctantly agreed.
"No problem!"
Many council mbers endorsed Gakels’ proposal.
Su Ming also sighed slightly upon hearing this, although Gakels didn’t directly announce the result, successfully stalling for ti. But in a sense, the situation beca worse.
If things go wrong when Long Bai and the others return for the highest eting, the Federation might be dood.
"The eting is adjourned!"
Gakels raised his hand and waved, turning to walk toward the side door.
