All the Great Mine Lords of the top ten sequences were present. Even those whose true bodies hadn't come had sent their smaller selves, along with the Star Mine Bureau directors!
The atmosphere around the conference table was oppressive. Displayed on its surface was the report on the failure of the last capture operation!
Atiya spoke with a dark expression:
"Jiang Nan's capture can't be delayed any longer. His appearance has thrown the North Crown Starry Sky Mine into chaos, and the Star Mine Bureau's authority has been challenged time and again!"
"The Great Migration from North Crown has emptied the cities and brought the economy to a standstill. The losses incurred with every passing second are beyond measure! The failure of the last capture operation directly caused the situation to deteriorate even further!"
"Mine dividends are tied directly to every family's interests. I'm sure each of you feels an undeniable responsibility to capture Jiang Nan and put an end to this!"
Yet the Mine Lords' gazes shifted uneasily, and none of them replied!
Gurnett, Great Mine Lord of the Apocalypse Race, smiled wryly:
"I mean, there's clearly a better solution. Why insist on choosing the difficult one?"
"I say we leave Jiang Nan alone and let things be. Weren't things going just fine before we started talking about capturing him?"
"Sure, that might lead to even greater losses, but Jiang Nan has Black God backing him. Push him too far, and who knows what he might do?"
Everyone turned to Gurnett and said in unison:
"Shut up!"
Gurnett:
Tie Zhu said without a trace of emotion:
"You have no say in this matter! The Apocalypse Race will do as the Holy Law Association directs!"
