Luo Fan's domineering words made Minako angry, but they also shocked her.
As far as she knew, Luo Fan was only one of thirteen councilors. He had voting rights, but that did not mean he had decision-making authority.
Yet now he had actually issued a notice directly on behalf of the Sequence Alliance, refusing to let any survivors from Eastern Japan settle in the Seven Cities Territory?
How could that be?
He had no authority to make such a decision, did he?
Minako was not the only one surprised. Jiang Shengnan, standing beside him, also looked at Luo Fan in surprise and could not help calling out, "Luo Fan, you..."
But Luo Fan ignored Jiang Shengnan's call and kept his eyes fixed on Minako before him.
Minako's face alternated between ashen and pale. After a moment of silence, she could not help addressing Luo Fan with a hint of a threat in her voice. "Mr. Luo Fan, I know you're China's strongest Sequence User and one of the thirteen councilors."
"But if you act so arbitrarily without consulting the other councilors, surely things won't end well once they find out?"
"That's China's own business. It has nothing to do with you!" Luo Fan's expression remained calm, as though he had not taken Minako's threat to heart at all.
Jiang Shengnan looked at Luo Fan, then at Minako. She, too, felt that Luo Fan's actions were somewhat inappropriate.
But naturally, she would not undermine Luo Fan in front of outsiders.
So she said nothing more.
The other survivors from Eastern Japan also shifted their gazes between Luo Fan and Minako.
On the one hand, they were angry at Luo Fan's overbearing arrogance.
On the other, they did not have the courage to actually go to war with China's Sequence Alliance.
