HR Alliance, Disbanded!

For the next month, Hong remained in Europe to clean up the mess.

His attitude was unusually firm, and he did not forgive any of the people involved.

Davis Industry, top floor of the building.

Lin Yan and Thunder God stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the Berlin Base City.

Lin Yan was puzzled and asked, "Hall Master Hong doesn't usually act like this. Is there some other Inside story behind this?"

For decades, Hong had ignored worldly affairs and focused on cultivation, reaching an extremely high level of spiritual attainment. However, his behavior regarding this matter was somewhat unusual.

Thunder God remarked, "This has been going on for a long time."

"You're too young. You didn't experience that era firsthand. The RR virus outbreak reduced the population from 7 billion to 5 billion. Then there was the attack on human cities by countless 'monsters' that had transformed from birds and beasts. During the five-and-a-half-year war, the human death toll approached 1 billion!"

"3 billion people! Which family hasn't experienced this kind of loss of a loved one!"

"As far as I know, Brother Hong's wife died during the Great Nirvana period. His wife died young... He raised his two children alone."

"He and his wife have a very good relationship, so he has not developed feelings for any other woman over the years."

"Now that the instigators have finally surfaced, Brother Hong will naturally show them no mercy!"

Lin Yan remained silent.

So that's how it is.

Even an infinitely large, all-encompassing mindset doesn't mean that even the most basic love and hate are erased.

Thunder God sneered, "But it's good this way. I hate these social parasites who only care about their own interests the most. It's good to have them swept away."

Compared to Hong, Thunder God is more clear about his likes and dislikes.

At that moment, a blurry figure materialized outside the door. She wore a black robe, a Golden Mask, and had long, flowing black hair, making her appear very mysterious.

Her eyes were captivating.

"Speaker Thunder God, Councilor Lin, the Pavilion Master is preparing to hold a meeting of the War God Palace at the HR Alliance headquarters. Apart from some councilors guarding the Base City, all other councilors will be present. Please proceed to the meeting venue."

Lin Yan nodded. "Thank you for informing us, Ms. Councilor. We'll head over right away."

This mysterious woman was one of Hong's three personal guards, and she was alluring.

Thunder God looked somewhat surprised. "Convening a meeting of the War God Palace? It seems Brother Hong has already resolved this matter."

She stood there quietly, without reacting.

The three of them boarded a fighter jet and arrived at the HR Alliance headquarters in Paris Base City.

They all took their seats.

Lin Yan glanced around and saw that Jia Yi, Zhu Xi, Tuoba Ji were all present, while only Deng Jun remained in Tianjing Base City.

Once everyone had arrived, Hong, sitting in the main seat, spoke solemnly, "Regarding this incident, I will give you a summary."

"During this period, I arranged for people to conduct a thorough investigation of the Truth Society. More than 70 families were involved, and more than 300 people were involved, all of whom were high-ranking members of the families."

"Among them, 24 members of the HR Alliance Council have entered the decision-making level, and as many as three members have entered the War God Palace Council."

Hong's tone was filled with pent-up anger.

Those present were secretly alarmed. Although the Truth Society had been hidden behind the scenes and unknown to the public, it had been rooted in Europe for over a hundred years. Pulling out the radish brought up the mud, which led to this consequence.

Hong's gaze was icy. "The HR Alliance, as Underground Alliance formed by super families and conglomerates around the world, was originally established to prevent being suppressed by the government Military. However, the unchecked power of these families has made them corrupt and decadent."

"I hereby formally propose the dissolution of the HR Alliance Council!"

"This matter will not be investigated in detail about the specific families involved; only the individuals involved will be punished. The specific business operations of these super-families will remain unchanged, but they must be subject to the supervision of the governments of various countries. Isadona is removed from the position of Fifth Speaker."

This is absolutely shocking!

Hong actually wants to dissolve the HR Alliance Council?

As the eighth major force outside of the five great nations and Two Great Dojos, the HR Alliance is far stronger than Huaxia, and its members are numerous and powerful.

Isadona herself is the Fifth Speaker, Fourth Speaker, East, is the strongest in the European Union Country. He is also affiliated with the HR Alliance, and the members he supports, Atkin and Yan Hai, are strong enough to be no less than Jia Yi or even stronger. It can be said that they have the ability to compete for the speakership.

There were also Councilor Fal and Representative Xini'er.

Apart from the Two Great Dojos, none of the other five major nations have such a prestigious lineup of councilors.

These giant family conglomerates form alliances that control more than half of the world's economy, and even governments and militaries around the world can only coexist peacefully with them.

Just like what Lin Yan did in Huaxia, it would have been impossible to achieve in North America or Europe, because Huaxia has the weakest foundation of financial groups in this area, and it is also the country with the weakest influence of the HR Alliance.

And today, Hong actually proposed to completely disband the HR Alliance?

Lin Yan pondered that those super conglomerates were untouchable because they had deep roots in their respective countries, and in some countries, they even had a presence behind the ruling parties.

They involve many aspects of people's livelihoods, industries, and resources in various countries, and their influence is enormous.

However, simply dissolving their alliance, preventing them from challenging the government through coordinated action, subjecting them to government oversight, and weakening their political influence would not be enough to trigger any significant consequences.

After all, the HR Alliance itself doesn't have much of a function. Their management is loose, and the specific business is mostly handled by local family conglomerates.

Isadona remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Does Hall Master Hong really intend to go this far?"

Hong looked at her, his gaze icy. "Shouldn't we?"

He simply asked a question, yet it revealed an immense sense of authority.

Isadona's face darkened, but she dared not refute anything further.

Thunder God then spoke up, "I support the First Speaker's proposal. The purpose of the War God Palace is to benefit the community of shared destiny of mankind. Of course, we must remove the stumbling blocks in our way. It has only been more than forty years since the Great Nirvana period. Has it already reached the point where it cannot be changed?"

"Has our management become so rigid so quickly that we have to tolerate and ignore such behavior?"

"No, I don't think so."

Although the HR Alliance is powerful, the War God Palace is ultimately the War God Palace of Hong and Thunder God, and their authority is unmatched.

Moreover, this matter even concerns the RR virus, leaving no room for rebuttal.

They did not publicize the matter because the social repercussions of spreading the truth would be unpredictable.

Hong continued, "The following are the results of dealing with the three councilors who colluded with the Truth Society."

"Atkin was stripped of his parliamentary seat and sentenced to five years in prison."

"Farr was stripped of his parliamentary seat and sentenced to five years in prison."

"Beard was stripped of his parliamentary seat and sentenced to three years in prison."

"Whether he will be reinstated as a member of parliament after serving his sentence will depend on his performance."

The councilors present didn't react much to this arrangement. Planetary level have a lifespan of a thousand years, so a three- to five-year sentence is nothing. After all, the status and power of councilors are completely different now, and Hong's treatment wasn't considered severe.

"As for the vacant Fifth Speaker's seat..."

At this moment, Third Speaker Mohanderson stood up and said, "Hall Master Hong, Councilor Lin Yan's strength far surpasses mine, and I am willing to give up the position of Third Speaker."

A martial artist speaks through strength.

Lin Yan's strength had been witnessed by everyone in the last battle with the evil dragon Níðhöggr, so everyone knew that he was the strongest person closest to Hong and Thunder God.

It is not surprising that Mohanderson voluntarily relinquished his position as Third Speaker; otherwise, he would have attracted gossip.

Hong's brows relaxed, and he gestured for Mohanderson to sit down, saying, "Lin Yan's strength is evident to all, as he killed Níðhöggr, a dragon close to the level of Beast Emperor, and Ymir, a giant with the strength of Planetary level Tier 3, at the headquarters of the Truth Society last time."

"Since Mohanderson has voluntarily relinquished his position as Third Speaker, Lin Yan will assume the role, and Mohanderson and East's positions will be filled by him. Does anyone have any objections?"

Who can object to this?

"Alright, since no one has any ideas, let's handle it this way."

Hong said, "Meeting adjourned."

"Wait a moment." Lin Yan stood up, looked around, and said, "This meeting has gathered the vast majority of the councilors of the War God Palace. I would like to take this opportunity to show you the latest scientific and technological achievements of Huaxia."

"Furthermore, I hope to cooperate with you all in this regard."

The councilors from the War God Palace present looked at each other in bewilderment. What latest achievement?

Jia Yi, Zhu Xi, and Tuoba Ji looked at Lin Yan with a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Lin Yan looked at Jia Yi and asked, "Councillor Jia, did you bring the things?"

Amidst everyone's curious gazes, Jia Yi smiled and handed him a backpack. Lin Yan took it, opened it, and first took out a laptop, placing it on the conference table.

Then he took out something that looked a bit like a man-portable rocket launcher. It was about two meters long, with a diameter of about fifteen centimeters, and was silver all over with a rather simple design.

Lin Yan, "This is our latest Laser Weapon, the S-rank Laser Gun!"

"It overcomes the shortcomings of Laser Cannon, such as being inconvenient to carry, transport, and use. It is small in size, has stable firing, and is equally powerful, capable of harming or even killing High-level monster lord!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hong and Thunder God stood up in shock.

The entire audience erupted in uproar!
