Chapter 538: Underground Parliament, First Meeting
Legend has it that beneath the sins and shadows of Abisovor, the most terrifying thing is not the chaos, but the underground parliament that causes the chaos.
It turns out that many legends have their basis.
When Li Daoxian stepped into the meeting room, the other members of parliament had already arrived.
The light in the room was dim. A few dark red flames were burning on huge candlesticks. The flickering light shadows jumped on the walls like ghosts.
The faces of each congressman flickered under the light.
"you are late."
The person sitting in the center looked up.
His face was tough, and through the dim candlelight, it could be recognized that he was the leader of the Blood Shadow Dictator, Thompson.
His expression was serious and his eyes were fixed on Li Daoxian without blinking.
Other people at the round table also looked over, with malicious intent, a look of watching the show, and scrutiny in their eyes.
Before this, they all knew more or less about "Sinclair" through their respective intelligence networks, but this was the first time they actually met.
They were also waiting to see what Li Daoxian would do.
"You guys notified us too late. You notified us half an hour before the start. Those who knew about it thought it was an underground council, while those who didn't thought about it thought it was some shady tea party..."
“I hope the internal process can be more efficient, and if it doesn’t work, my people can take over.”
"I find that everything here is done in the same old way, with parliaments and associations. This method is too inefficient."
Li Daoxian felt everyone's gazes, walked slowly to his seat, looked around, and frowned.
"Tsk, tsk, the funds are too scarce. There's not even a decent seat."
Then he pinched the chair with his hand, and the chair began to deform. The velvet grew out from the gap, turned over, and then formed a large sofa.
Then he sat down comfortably and lay on the sofa.
Seeing this scene, others had different expressions.
He raised his head and met Thompson's gaze without hesitation, then he looked around, taking in everyone's expressions.
Thompson was silent, his eyes narrowed, his mind wandering, and then he said calmly: "Forget about the first time, there shouldn't be a next time."
The congressmen raised their eyebrows. They didn't expect Thompson to let it go so easily this time.
This is not consistent with the iron-blooded image that Thompson has always shown.
However, what they didn't expect was that after Thompson finished speaking, Li Daoxian also said with a smile: "A small suggestion, be more professional. We are a formal organization. New members have no beacon and no communication. It's completely a makeshift team to notify them at short notice."
???
The other councillors at the table looked at each other.
You even made a suggestion. Do you know why I gave you such a short notice?
Although the congressmen thought so in their hearts, they did not say it out loud, but instead they all watched the show with a good attitude.
After all, it was Thompson's face that was being hit.
Li Daoxian's mind moved slightly and his eyebrows raised.
interesting.
It seems that there are a lot of interesting things today.
The muscles on Thompson's cheeks bulged slightly, then relaxed. He stopped looking at Li Daoxian and said, "Since everyone is here, let's start this meeting as usual."
"The first topic of this meeting is personnel replenishment."
"Cyrus' seat was filled by Sinclair. The Shadow Society was merged into the Snake Eye, so we need to choose a new councillor from the bench."
The congressmen present were not surprised. Although Sinclair skipped the alternate assessment for various reasons, the remaining congressman seat still needed to follow normal procedures.
"I suggest that this assessment should focus on the Shadow Society. After all, we need to take over the Shadow Society's original intelligence network."
"I agree. This way, there will be no need to make major adjustments to the previous process. The original talent introduction process has been stagnant for a long time."
"When Sinclair returns the Shadow Society's sphere of influence, we will need to sign a new contract."
"I can provide support, but the profit sharing for the next few years needs to be re-planned."
The congressmen began to express their opinions, and everyone had his own calculations in his eyes. Although they sat upright, the shadows behind them seemed to be sharpening their knives.
Li Daoxian tapped the table lightly.
The discussion suddenly stopped.
Seeing everyone's gazes, Li Daoxian smiled and said, "Wait, I have a question. Who said I want to return the Shadow Society's sphere of influence?"
A gorgeously dressed councillor said coldly: "Since you have joined the underground council, you must follow the rules of the underground council. The twelve parts of power can be constantly replaced, and the scope can be slightly adjusted, but it is absolutely impossible to merge."
Li Daoxian looked over and saw that it was the Phantom Society, which was only one letter different from the original Phantom Society, but involved different fields. The Phantom Society was more involved in the entertainment industry, and seduction and deception were their main means.
"Oh, Phantom Society, I remember that you seemed to have been occupied by the Shadow Society before, and you had to keep your tail between your legs. Why do you dare to bark in front of me now?"
The president of the Phantom Society had an ugly look on his face and couldn't help wanting to say something, but after weighing it over, he didn't say it but just stared at Li Daoxian.
"It's good for young people to have an edge, but here, showing off your edge is a bad thing. Sinclair... follow the rules, it's for your own good."
Li Daoxian looked over and said, "Well, Dark Academy, to be honest, I am somewhat interested in your academy. Do you want to cooperate with me and merge into the Endless Secret Treasure Academy like the Blood Soul Academy? I will not treat you unfairly and will give you the identity of a branch district."
The principal of the Dark Academy snorted coldly: "Disrespectful person."
Li Daoxian found it a little funny. He already knew these people's subsequent plans, but he didn't expect them to be so tolerant.
We can see how long they can endure.
"you……"
The other councillors wanted to say something, but Li Daoxian waved his hand impatiently, interrupting them and said with a smile: "I won the battle with the Shadow Society, so I have inherited everything from them."
"As for the original territory of the Emerald Demon Thieves, I have occupied it. If anyone has any objections, they can declare war and compete for it."
"Otherwise, you just want to gain benefits by relying on your mouth and this broken table. Excuse me, you are dreaming."
Most of the congressmen present looked unhappy. They couldn't understand where this guy came from with so many fancy sarcasm.
Damn, it's really hateful.
At this time, Thompson spoke up: "This is the rule of the underground council, and it is also the reason for the existence of Abisovor. This is the basic principle recently. Once this principle is broken, Abisovor will no longer exist."
"We gave you a seat as a councillor because we don't want to have a conflict with you, not because we are afraid of you. You'd better understand this."
Thompson paused, his tone vaguely threatening.
"Cooperate with us. This is also in your interest. Don't forget that you are now also a member of the underground parliament."
Li Daoxian smiled and said, "I deserve this seat, not a gift from you. This is a trophy, not a bargain."
"As for the rules of the underground parliament, I think I already understand them clearly."
"The twelve councillors are there to ensure that the twelve godheads can be passed down in an orderly manner and can be trapped here."
"If you insist, then I will elect a councillor. He will help run the Ink Shadow Court."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After hearing what Li Daoxian said, the congressmen present said in unison: "We disagree."
"be opposed to."
"Except for the seat you obtained by declaring war, any other seat must go through the waiting ceremony. This is the rule."
If Sinclair were allowed to elect a member of parliament, it would be like having an extra puppet in the underground parliament.
Although the MPs present had more or less experienced a period of weakness where they had to make deals and obey other MPs, it was different from being outright puppets.
Once Sinclair really supports a puppet, it will be very difficult for them to intervene and operate.
Li Daoxian didn't care and said, "This is just a notice. Believe me, no matter what you want to do, the one who gets this seat in the end will only be mine."
Thompson frowned and said, "You can recommend candidates, but they must also go through the candidate assessment."
Li Daoxian looked at Thompson and said, "If you want me to cooperate, then you can remove all the restrictions on the candidate assessment and have an assessment without any threshold."
Thompson was a little surprised.
He knew that what Sinclair said before seemed to be a provocation, but in fact it was all within the rules of the underground council. He knew that the guy in front of him was just exerting pressure and trying to make conditions.
But I didn't expect that the final confrontation would be this. I originally thought that Sinclair would add some favorable conditions to myself...
Doesn't he know that once all the conditions are removed, other forces will join forces to target the people he reported?
It’s hard to say who will get the seat in the end, but it’s highly unlikely that it will be Sinclair’s man.
However, this is also good. After all, the power of Snake Eye is expanding too fast now. Perhaps pride has paralyzed Sinclair.
Thompson nodded: "Okay. In that case, the alternate assessment will proceed as planned. Since you agree, you must cooperate even if you are not the one to be assessed in the end."
Li Daoxian smiled and said, "Of course, but... if this is regarded as a transaction, the price I need to pay is obviously not in line with what you have paid."
"How about this? Why don't you all give up some of your spheres of influence, resources and authority to fill the gaps in fairness. I know that you all have gained a lot of benefits and territory from the Emerald Thieves."
"Instead of waiting for me to capture it later, why not do it now under the witness of the contract as a prize?"
The other councillors took a look and couldn't help but say, "Why should we give up our own resources and territory? This assessment is not for us."
Li Daoxian laughed sarcastically, "Is this for me? You won't even give me a piece of my flesh, but you want me to give up half of my power. How dare you do that?"
The MPs fell silent.
When others are cutting their flesh and bleeding, they can speak freely, after all, it is not their own. But when it comes to themselves, they need to think carefully.
Li Daoxian looked around, his eyes focused on the council members of the Phantom Society, the Dark Society and the Witchcraft Alliance who had called him Huan before.
When no one spoke, Li Daoxian said leisurely, "It seems that the candidate assessment is not necessarily necessary..."
Thompson also felt a headache when he saw the scene in front of him.
Sinclair didn't know where he got such a large number of manpower, and now their combat effectiveness is far higher than that of ordinary parliamentarians. Those guys seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
In this situation, it's okay to say a few words, but no one is willing to really confront Sinclair, including Thompson himself.
Although his men were bloodthirsty and aggressive, he did not want to waste them in vain.
Thompson finally understood how other congressmen felt when facing him before. Since there was no way to fight to the death with the other party, he could only suffer some losses.
Thompson said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Let's move on to the next item."
"The second topic is also related to Sinclair."
As he spoke, Thompson took out a stack of parchment scrolls. The magical words on the parchment scrolls flowed and the information contained in them kept flashing. They were all personal information of the people. Their affiliations were also different, and almost all the forces of the present congressmen were involved.
"The existence of the Ink Shadow Court has seriously disrupted the order of Abisovor. I must remind you, Sinclair, that Abisovor does not need the Ink Shadow Court, and there is no need for trials here."
Li Daoxian picked up the parchment scroll, flipped through it, and then said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Thompson raised his voice a little: "Don't play dumb. Why did the Ink Shadow Court murder people from other power areas under the guise of trial?"
Li Daoxian smiled and said, "Then why don't you tell me what they did?"
"I've already said that in Abisovor, it is not allowed to attack and kill children. Because our academy has just been established, we need fresh blood. Any child is a potential resource for us. They maliciously attacked the students who were planning to apply for the Endless Secret Treasure Academy."
"They died because they didn't follow my rules. In Abisowal, I think that's enough for reasons like mood, venting, and fun."
Thompson frowned: "You are not qualified to set rules for people from other forces."
Li Daoxian said calmly: "They should follow the rules, otherwise it will ruin our mood. When we are in a bad mood, we will execute the weak. Isn't this the most common logic of Abisowol?"
"If they were more sensible, they should act according to the preferences of the powerful, right? They knew what we were thinking, but they still did this. Isn't this provoking us?"
"If we really talk about it, we should blame the forces they belong to for not protecting them well, right?"
Thompson was speechless for a moment.
