"Okay, we should also have a conclusion about the series of things that have happened in the alliance recently."
Time returns to a slightly earlier moment. Deep in the luxurious hall of a suburban house in Cerulean City in the real world, a venue-like scene surrounded by countless figures and electronic screens also appeared with countless commotions. Appeared under the dim light, and at the same time appeared a dozen old figures sitting in the center of this magnificent hall who seemed to be discussing something: "Although the alliance is about to fall into our hands, what happened recently This series of things always makes people feel a little uneasy.”
"There is nothing to worry about. The Lou family and the Lu family have ceased their activities a long time ago. The Long family, the only one that can be our opponent, is now in a completely passive situation..."
"We can't take this lightly. The behavior of that woman Lou Yushang recently has been very abnormal. Isn't it just to find out her purpose that we took the time to sit here?"
"No, the purpose of convening the family elders to sit here is to hold a family meeting in 2135."
In the scene where the buzzing of countless people sitting around gradually quieted down, an electronic light screen projecting a man in classical Chinese clothes located in the center of the circular conference table then issued his own synthesized voice: "As for That Lou Yushang’s behavior—taking away all the independent selection rights of professional players from major guilds—looks like he is helping us make wedding dresses.”
"This is also the focus of our discussion: What does that woman and the forces behind her want to do?"
"The only possibility that can be imagined is that she, who has become an official of the alliance headquarters, wants to occupy a place in the high-level governance, but -"
"Presumptuous! This is absolutely impossible! The Lou family has abandoned her a long time ago. She and the few guys under her alone would never be able to achieve this!"
"The battle that took place in Omi District a few months ago did prove this point, but there are always exceptions. For example... if this woman is willing to betray everything again, the people of the Jianglong family and even Director Chu Did she pull everyone into her camp?"
"Chu Siliang? It's impossible, impossible, that incompetent guy, not even a pig would like him."
"But that person is Lou Yushang, that woman with Fengyi's appearance but decisive and ruthless attitude. If she really goes crazy and is willing to sacrifice her body for revenge-"
"Hate can indeed change a person, but Lou Yushang's rationality will never push her to this point. Although her actions during this period are indeed somewhat incomprehensible... Those of you here, I hope you can Report truthfully, have any of you received contact from Lou Yushang, or had secret contact with her?"
"No."
"I do not have either."
"I hope that woman can take the initiative to contact me. If she really wants to gain revenge by selling her body, I would... Hey, hey, it doesn't hurt to satisfy her."
"Duan Tianqing, you pervert! Wake up! If the Duan family is ruined because of you, I will never forgive you!"
"What are you afraid of? I still don't believe that woman can really change the world? Even if the major guilds really change because of her plan, the Chu family and the Luo family are still on our side!"
"...How long will it take for it to end?"
During a series of disputes between the figures shown on the electronic screen and the elder figures present, a young figure sitting behind the center of the round table asked quietly with dissatisfaction: "Isn't it just about that crazy old woman? ? Is it necessary to keep fighting like this?"
"The Duan family's family meeting is going on now. Don't be too rude."
Duan Qingnian, who was sitting in front of him, replied in a low voice. The steady figure sitting in the center of the round table did not change at all like a rock: "We will talk about the small things after all the important things are finalized."
"It's all trivial things." Then the young man, who looked somewhat similar to Duan Qingnian, curled his lips and muttered: "This matter is a trivial matter to you, but it is not a trivial matter to me."
"...Go back and sit down." The luxurious middle-aged man's face showed a bit of impatience: "When you can sort out the priorities, come back and say these small and big things to me again."
"Father, your position as head of the family has been successfully succeeded, and the profit and loss last year was also very good. Apart from the leader of the alliance who seems to be of no use at all, what else can we discuss?"
Instead of returning to the original position as the middle-aged man said, the young man's voice became a little louder: "Can that crazy woman really make some troubles?"
"Otherwise, why do you think I convened this family meeting urgently in advance?" Duan Qingnian replied in a cold voice: "It's because we can't see the depth of that crazy woman, so we have to stabilize our military morale."
"Hmph, what a fuss."
Hiding his dissatisfaction under his gaze, the young man's face became excited again: "Then, if the next thing can really succeed, then my, my request can really come true. really?"
"……Can."
Eyes slightly closed and silent for a while, Duan Qingnian, the newly succeeded head of the Duan family, replied with raised lips: "Theoretically, as long as that bitch is removed from the Duan family, she will be no different from the lowly servants outside. Since She will not be bound by the Duan family’s rules, how do you want to deal with her..."
"Of course it's all up to you."
"Really? Thanks dad!"
The excitement was palpable. The young man clapped his hands vigorously and jumped up. Then he shrank his neck in the warning eyes of the Duan family elders who were still arguing around the round table, and hid behind Duan Qingnian again: "Then , then I can marry her, right? Her big breasts have been dangling in front of my eyes since she was a child, and I have already...already..."
"This is your young people's business, so of course I won't care about it." He nodded slightly as an agreement, but a somewhat ruthless feeling flashed through Duan Qingnian's eyes: "But... that guy was originally Duan Tianfeng's Forbidden, even if you really want to marry that bitch, she may not obey you."
"Don't worry, I, Duan Tianhu, came forward and rescued her from certain death. How could she not be grateful in return?"
With a silly and lewd smile on his face, the young man rubbing his hands jumped back and forth: "I have played with so many women, but in the end I fell in love with this low-class maid. In our family, this kind of thing is simply a fairy tale that cannot happen!"
"Silly boy, you are already twenty-two years old, but you are still so naive." Duan Qingnian's answer sounded a little helpless: "That Ninglan was my eldest brother's valet specially trained for Duan Tianfeng. She The degree of danger and loyalty are not as simple as you seem. If you want to change this kind of woman's will, ordinary methods are not enough."
"Fortunately, I have prepared for you early." He sneered, and his eyes that never looked back fell on the center of the round table in front: "Soon, the last few memories of Duan Tianfeng left in this family , will also disappear without a trace in this place.”
"Ah? Father, what are you talking about?"
"You'll know soon, come back now."
His eyes returned to normal, and Duan Qingnian pushed his son back with serious words: "Don't interrupt the meeting anymore - you want it to end quickly, right?"
"Qing Nian, what do you think?"
A deep voice of inquiry then sounded in front of him, accompanied by a look from another elder of the Duan family: "As the head of the family, do you have anything to say about Lou Yushang and the forces behind her?" A clue?"
"I know that everything led by that woman recently has had some impact on everyone sitting here."
With his raised voice, he suppressed all the commotions that came from the round table. Duan Qingnian proudly announced to the people around him: "The purpose of convening this family meeting is to use this opportunity to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. It’s just about everyone’s psychology.”
"No matter what conspiracy that woman plans to plot, she cannot leave this position in the virtual industry." The middle-aged man looked around at the human faces and electronic projections with confident eyes: "And this is our strength, our recent The glory that is gradually being regained.”
"I believe that with the efforts of us and our allies, all virtual worlds, including the free world, will become ours." He raised his arms: "People, technology, including domination of the entire alliance means - no one can defeat us in this world."
"Long live the head of the family!"
The sound of cheers came from around the round table, and then the sound of applause gradually rose from behind the elders and family patriarchs. Duan Qingnian, who raised his hand to suppress the applause, then put away his satisfied smile, full of His dignified eyes also turned to one side: "Since everyone is so confident, let's move on to the next topic."
"About the treatment of Ninglan."
He gestured to the surrounding elders who were participating in the meeting, and then pointed toward the center of the round table with the understanding responses they sent back: "Everyone must have decided on the final result."
The sound of rising machinery, accompanied by the clanking sound of iron chains, then appeared in the center of the round table venue. It was a scarred woman bound into a ball by various mechanical locks who emerged from the center of the round table venue. There was a sound as the platform gradually rose. The maid, who seemed to have some kind of device on her head, was lying motionless on the cold iron wall rising in front of everyone, her whole body being torn apart. The tattered and delicate body did not seem to show any signs of life: "This, is this still the same Ninglan? How could she-"
"I think everyone should know how dangerous she is." Stretching his hands forward, Duan Qingnian introduced with a smile; "Ordinary restrictions can hardly contain a woman like her who has been trained as an assassin, so I We had to use some...inhuman means."
"Her hand tendons and hamstrings were severed?" A senior figure displayed on the electronic screen immediately asked in shock: "How can you do this? She is not -"
"She is still an important property of our Duan family. Of course I know this." Waving his hand to indicate that it was okay, Duan Qingnian interrupted the other party's question in a low voice: "Don't worry, all parts of this woman's body are normal. It’s just that her nerves are a little abnormal now.”
"It's the new technology we just got from the virtual world." He pointed to the helmet-like device on the maid's head: "The spirit of this maid is now trapped in the virtual world, brainwashing Work is also ongoing on her, and even if we don't deal with her tonight, she will be available to us again soon."
"Considering the thousand-year-old ancient sayings of our Duan family and the huge investment in this personal maid, this property should not be wasted easily." Speaking of this, Duan Qingnian once again showed a strange smile: "So I will tell everyone here I have left you with an opportunity - if someone is not guilty of her betrayal of the family and can accept her potential danger, I will reassign this maid to him as the head of the family."
"Of course, because of the redistribution, the price should still be one cent less." Ignoring the protest from a young man behind him, he looked around at every family elder present: "Who among you? Want to take her away?"
"..."
"It seems that no one wants to show mercy to her."
Looking at the gradually silent atmosphere in the venue, Duan Qingnian smiled and shook his head. He leaned forward and slowly sat back in his original seat. His cold and cruel eyes fell on the wrapped man again. The head of the maid wearing various electronic harnesses and the helmet on her head flashing with various electronic lights said: "In that case, let's start voting."
"Ninglan, the maid of the Duan family, has betrayed the family and killed dozens of family members. She will now accept the family's final trial."
He pointed at the body lying in the center of the iron wall, and then announced loudly to all the Duan family members around him: "According to the Duan family's family rules, we will announce the expulsion of this person at the Duan family's family meeting. From now on , the life and death of this maid and everyone she is associated with will no longer have anything to do with our Duan family."
"Those who agree, please raise your hands."
An unspeakable silence gradually spread around the venue, followed by sparse hand-raising movements. At first, only a few people made these movements, but later on, as the atmosphere spread, more and more people started to raise their hands. . There was a look of satisfaction in his eyes again. Duan Qingnian in the middle then nodded his head at the other family elders present. A sudden voice echoed in the venue just before these elders were about to raise their hands in agreement. over the sky.
"I object."
