Although Ed White said it with a smile, the threat was obvious.

The chief judge, however, remained calm and composed, with an indifferent expression, and instead looked at the other members.

These members naturally dared not refuse, after all, in their eyes, Ed White was a mad dog.

Nobody wants to mess with them.

After all, if they don't get involved now, then this struggle is just between Victor King and Ed White, the two leaders of the Illuminati.

However, if they get involved, they will drag themselves into it.

These members, though deep down, still wished for Ed White's death.

However, there are advantages if Ed White doesn't die.

That means they are maintaining a balance of power between the two sides, and these are the people they will try to win over.

The current situation is clear: we cannot kill Ed Wright.

Since we can't kill this mad dog, there's no need to provoke it again. Not only will we not gain anything, but we'll also easily get ourselves into trouble.

The chief judge glanced at all the members who remained silent, then smiled and said, "Since no one objects, that means you support it... Alright, let's proceed with the vote. To ensure fairness, impartiality, and transparency, we will conduct a recorded vote. You will have ten minutes."

After the chief judge finished speaking, all the members wrote down their acquittals.

After all, these people had already made their own calculations of their own interests deep in their hearts.

Meanwhile, Ed White stood to one side, holding a silver cane, head held high and chest out, as if the situation before him was not a trial at all.

A short while later, the blond attendant beside the chief judge gathered the votes together.

Then they began counting and recording the votes.

"Innocent..."

...

The twelve votes were unanimous, and the defendant was found not guilty.

Even if the votes weren't counted, the final result would still be the same.

The presiding judge nodded: "Alright, since everyone agrees that he is innocent, and Ed White's previous representative has been dealt with, this case can now be closed."

"Does anyone have any opinions?"

Everyone present nodded, and no one expressed a dissenting opinion.

Ed White, leaning on his silver cane, smiled and bowed to everyone present, saying, "Gentlemen, I knew it. You all have sharp eyes... you can see through the tricks of those East Asians at a glance."

"Of course, I also misunderstood Viktor King because I believed all those rumors, which caused me a lot of unnecessary trouble!"

"Now that we've gone through this, I feel we need to work together even more, trust each other, and be wary of those who might try to sow discord."

With that, Ed White looked at the Grand Judge and asked, "Grand Judge, since Victor King has also been found not guilty, please have him come over. I would also like to formally apologize to him."

Just then, a burst of laughter came from outside: "President Ed White, I've been waiting for you."

The door was pushed open, and a blond, square-faced man with a full beard, a muscular build, and wearing an embroidered suit and leather boots walked in.

This man is nearly two meters tall, so he is very muscular.

The person who arrived was none other than Viktor King.

When Victor King walked in, Ed White greeted him with a warm smile.

“Victor King, the fact that you came means you don’t hold a grudge against me, right? You know I’m doing this all for the benefit of our Illuminati… You’ve also seen that East Asian infiltration has been ongoing.”

Looking at Ed White's expression, Victor King smiled and said, "Of course... How could I blame you... You yourself said that this was done by East Asians... In situations like this, we must stick together and be inseparable, right?"

"So, no matter what happens in the future, President Ed White, you must support me! Because you were framed this time too... People only realize how wronged they feel when they are framed, right!"

Ed White, though smiling, nodded and said...

The members who witnessed this scene were not surprised at all.

Although both sides wanted to kill each other.

Victor King, the East Asia branch manager, was originally going to be killed.

If it weren't for Yin Pan'er appearing out of nowhere, turning the tide and preventing the building from collapsing.

Viktor King is probably dead.

However, to be fair, Viktor King did manage to turn the tide.

At this point, Viktor King had only heard some of the details.

However, the specific details are still unclear.

Viktor King naturally understood the principle of leaving a way out for others, so that you can meet again in the future.

So, the two people who originally wanted to kill each other...

This actually looks unusually harmonious...

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two looked at the other members present.

"Thank you all for coming."

These members all spoke up, saying, "It's wonderful that the two of you can turn hostility into friendship."

"The two presidents are right, it's not time for us to celebrate yet."

"This crushing defeat for our naval alliance should serve as a wake-up call. Even with all the advantages of terrain and timing, we could still suffer such a crushing defeat. Just like now, our Illuminati seems invincible, but once internal problems arise, our collapse will likely come very quickly..."

"Yes...yes...so, we all need to start reflecting on this! Anyway, we can't launch a second attack now, so we need to rethink and replan..."

“That’s right. And if we were to say before that fighting in East Asia was optional, now it should be said that fighting is inevitable… Mr. Ed White, don’t you think so?”

The members started talking one after another, each offering their own opinion.

Ed White nodded: "That's natural... those despicable East Asians, we won't have a day of peace until we wipe them out."

"So, now that all this has happened, everyone should take a good rest and think about how to deal with it. We'll have another meeting in two weeks... What do you all think?"

These people naturally nodded in agreement.

"That's fine then. Let's all send our fleets from the Illuminati to our respective ports."

After one member spoke, the others nodded in agreement.

After all, the previous naval joint fleet was a national interest, but this time the fleet of the Illuminati consists of the private warships of these chairmen, and they cannot afford to be harassed.

Ed White sent them over there to arrest people.

Now that we haven't succeeded in capturing them, we don't need them anymore.

Moreover, Ed White knew that if he failed this time, his prestige would suffer.

He's not saying anything else, he just wants to change the way things are played.

After they reached an agreement.

They then went their separate ways.

After they left the ship, they departed with their respective fleets and representatives.

The commanders of their country's naval fleets were also taken away.

Ed White left alone.

Victor White went straight into the cabin and found Yin Pan'er.

...

At this moment, both Yin Pan'er and Xiao Yue were locked in the cabin.

Yin Pan'er appeared calm, while Xiao Yue seemed somewhat uneasy.

Yin Pan'er offered a few words of comfort, but Xiao Yue awkwardly said that he also wanted to remain calm... but it was really difficult for him to do so.

She simply couldn't remain as indifferent as Yin Pan'er. Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Xiaoyue hurriedly walked to the door, then said to Yin Pan'er, "Sir, if they come to harm you, I have explosives on me that can threaten them. In that case, just find a way to run away; there's no need to stop."

After Xiaoyue finished speaking, she didn't give Yin Pan'er a chance to respond.

He walked straight to the door and opened it...
