"Hey brothers!"

"My dear brothers, why did you leave me behind? Don't leave so soon! Wake up and look at me!"

As a powerful figure who controls Wanping Province, Zhao Tianhua is not a brainless brute; he also possesses considerable wisdom.

Before coming to Alliance Island, he even assembled his own medical team and brought the best medical supplies from Wanping, taking precautions against any possible accidents.

These medical procedures were all used on Zhao Tianhua.

But Zhao Tianhua was right; among so many people, it was indeed Zhao Tianhua who was playing for real.

Even if others shared his thoughts, the Aomeijia Alliance refused to engage, and in the second round, they chose representatives from other smaller countries to wear them down, which made the fighting less intense.

In the third major game, Ren Yisheng and Li Yingbo became famous overnight, advancing directly to the tenth major game and forcing the Aomeijia Alliance and the British Alliance State to not dare to participate.

From the first major operation to the third major operation, apart from those in the know, only Zhao Tianhua risked his life and suffered serious injuries.

This kind of serious injury cannot be left untreated, but it also cannot be treated casually.

Zhang Xuezhou went to Zhao Tianhua's office for a negotiation.

His reputation in Wanping Province is genuinely quite good; it's difficult for others to find Zhao Tianhua, but this doesn't include Zhang Xuezhou.

His negotiation skills were no different from Ren Yisheng's; many of his negotiation techniques involved nothing more than enticement.

After exchanging a few words, Zhao Tianhua got out of bed and went to find Changkong Luo and others to verify the relevant information.

When the logistics personnel were arranged to enter the prefabricated house to carry people out, Zhao Tianhua, despite his injuries, stayed by their side, wailing and mourning.

His voice was deep and loud, attracting the attention of many onlookers.

"Our rules for resolving international disputes do have some minor issues!"

The area where the fighting had taken place has now become a negotiation ground, and some logistics personnel are evacuating, either boarding Airbuses, entering aircraft, or traveling by car to the port.

Montes Arthur glanced in the direction of the loud voice, then at the medical stretchers being carried out, and couldn't help but chuckle dryly before starting to carry out the initiative as Montes Barton had instructed.

"It's just a few people who are seriously injured," Li Yingbo said without even lifting his eyelids. "When people are about to die, they need to use their skills to the fullest, so they don't take their abilities to the grave!"

"That's not how it works. If our rules..."

"We can remove the rule about calling a stop and admitting defeat; that way, we can still have a good fight!"

Montes Arthur was about to agree with the Scarlet Alliance State's previous suggestion to change the rules when he heard Li Yingbo stare at him, grit his teeth, and say something that seemed to want to devour him, which made his heart skip a beat.

"Chairman Li, please don't have such thoughts!"

"That's right! We can't afford to lose our lives here just to compete for some high-end genetic resources and technology!"

"Sparring and testing skills is fine, but isn't killing someone a bit outrageous?"

"Although we're getting old, I don't think any of us want to die here!"

"Our current rules do have some problems!"

"In the past, the drawbacks weren't obvious, and everyone was striving to lead the world in performance. Now that we're older, our mindset has changed!"

Gene Sequence were not initially dominated by the Sixth Sequence as the main force in the struggle, and the earliest international dispute conferences did not have strong contenders at the level of the Eighth Sequence or Seventh Sequence.

Early international disputes even required interaction based on ancient martial arts, before transitioning to Gene Fighting Technique. Sequence standards were established, and exchanges and verifications gradually progressed to the Third Sequence, Fourth Sequence, and Fifth Sequence.

Society is moving forward, technology is advancing, and the strength of many leaders is growing stronger.

But this relatively harmonious development will eventually come to an end.

Among the many leaders, some are already quite old.

Some are content to remain behind the scenes, some are confined to a corner of the world and cannot go out, some have secret formulas for prolonging life, and some die in their old age.

In the present day, the elders of the Scarlet Alliance State have adopted a different approach. After residing in their retirement homes for several years, when they emerge again, it seems they are trying to drag others down with them, thereby clearing away the obstacles the Scarlet Alliance State faces in its international struggles.

Hearing that Li Yingbo wanted to cancel the rule of calling a stop and admitting defeat, many people's hearts skipped a beat.

The rules of the international dispute resolution conference will not change because of Li Yingbo's words, but many people undoubtedly understand the intentions of the Scarlet Alliance State and are even more certain of the reason for today's fierce confrontation.

No one could possibly agree to Li Yingbo's proposal, but regardless of whether the representatives of the various countries agree or disagree, if the Scarlet Alliance State do not follow the established procedures for negotiation and verification, but instead choose violent attacks, it is possible that this could lead to casualties among the participants in future conflict meetings, or even trigger mass riots and clashes, resulting in large-scale mass deaths.

These events were not hard to imagine. For a moment, none of the representatives from various countries could hold back. They either used their own languages of communication or relied on translators to convey their messages, and the group of people who were supposed to be verifying and checking contracts started making a fuss.

"What? This change is hard to accept?" Li Yingbo shouted, "Did you learn Gene Fighting Technique just to suppress the weak and maintain your rule, instead of thinking about challenging the stronger?"

"We, the Scarlet Alliance State, have no fear of who is in the Seventh Sequence or Eighth Sequence," Zhu Liangping, who was assisting from the side, sneered.

"Neither Ren Yisheng nor I expected that after just one game, no one would dare to step up," Li Yingbo said. "What's the point of these rules? Are we supposed to just stand on the court and play thirty games straight from now on?"

"While the Seventh Sequence isn't absolutely dominant, it offers ample room for error. Its suppression of the Seventh Sequence Sixth Sequence is almost overwhelming, and the Eighth Sequence is practically crushing down the others," Montes Arthur said bitterly. "It's not that no one wants to fight you, it's that no one has the ability to fight you!"

"No one said that when our Scarlet Alliance State challenged Patton and Steel Mill," Zhu Liangping said.

Medical stretchers were continuously carried away into the distance.

This is the result of the sequence crossing challenge.

This result left many people feeling heavy-hearted, even suggesting that Montespatton had held back.

No one wants to test their mettle for Ren Yisheng, and the Scarlet Alliance State fight ruthlessly. Even with rules to stop them, a slight mistake could cost them their lives.

"Our group isn't really suited for confrontational exchanges, and there's no point in arguing like this," Pasteur, who was in charge of the negotiations, said. "The Scarlet Alliance State proposed a new set of rules for communication a few months ago. I wonder if any of you remember? These rules should effectively prevent conflicts between us!"

"Yes, we should let young people learn from each other more often," Montes Arthur quickly chimed in.

"I agree. The higher up the hierarchy there are, the fewer people there are, so there's no need for fighting anymore," said Bakhtom, the newly appointed speaker of the Thousand Islands Alliance.

"I propose that each sequence stage have Sequence Holder of the corresponding age group compete," Turkellando said. "Only under such rules can our small country feel the fairness of the past!"

"Indeed, older Sequence Holder are not suitable to participate in the competition!"

Montes Arthur nodded quickly again.

His original intention was to target the many elderly high- Sequence Holder of the Scarlet Alliance State, but when the injured Montes Clark nudged him in the back, Montes Arthur remembered the oldest, Montes Barton.

He gave the crowd an awkward smile, then looked at Li Yingbo, who was seated in the Scarlet Alliance State.

"The Scarlet Alliance State came up with a similar fair proposal a few months ago. Why don't we discuss it together this time, see how to improve the proposal, and strive to make it acceptable to every representative, while also promoting fairness as much as possible!"

After Montes Arthur finished speaking, Li Yingbo, sitting in the Scarlet Alliance State seat, let out a cold snort of extreme Qi Ingestion.

This put Montes Arthur in a slightly passive position.

Previously, it was the Scarlet Alliance State that initiated the reform, but now the other side has become one of the obstacles to the reform. This reversal has left Montes Arthur with a bitter pill to swallow.

He wasn't sure if Li Yingbo and the others were being insincere or had ulterior motives, but in any case, the Aomeijia Alliance was determined to carry out the reforms this time.
