Chapter 250: The Slaughter City Sacrifice
"Are you people insane?"
In Qinggang Council Hall, as Mr. Xu, seated in the far-left chair, issued those orders as if they were the most natural thing in the world, people hurriedly carried them out. The atmosphere had already grown oppressive.
The man in the chair on the right had completely lost control of his expression. He shouted, "Why are you making this kind of joke?"
"It already happened long ago, and we've paid such a heavy price—"
"We waited a full ten years. Now the tide is about to come, and at this final, critical moment, you're going to veto the Silent Plan?"
No one in the room answered him. Only an unbearable silence remained. He even vaguely sensed hateful eyes fixed on him from the shadows, but when he abruptly turned to look, everything seemed as usual.
Everyone had lowered their eyes. They weren't openly antagonizing him, yet their resolve was unmistakable.
He found himself unable to continue. He even let out a self-mocking laugh.
How could he not understand, given the circumstances?
The aftereffects of the Seven-Day Divine Descent's failure.
The Seven-Day Divine Descent had originally been meant to resolve the problem completely before anyone could react, without causing any accidents.
But it had failed, and the delay had dragged on until now. It was inevitable that some who had lost their blood relatives would have second thoughts.
To ensure the Silent Plan was carried out, they had already been assigned to monitor these people for any unusual activity.
But they had kept watch for two years without finding anything abnormal.
They hadn't expected that these people had simply stayed still on the surface because someone had secretly brought them together, waiting to strike without warning at the most crucial moment.
