Chapter 720: Chapter 650: Solving One by One_2 Chapter 720: Chapter 650: Solving One by One_2 Tao Yu pointed to the watch in his hand, while the Invisible Man nodded constantly like a pecking chicken
“I understand, he’s a traitor and a double-dealer, deserving death.”
The Invisible Man cautiously probed Tao Yu’s attitude, actually feeling tempted himself after hearing about the demonic transformation and longevity promised by the other side.
The Invisible Man was worried that the latter might be speaking ironically…
Tao, our representatives would like to meet with you to discuss things together.”
After Tao Yu made an appearance, the Homelanders personally came to find him.
It was Steele who had asked him, and he had no choice but to accept.
“No problem, I do think we need to talk, the situation with the Burning Legion is quite troublesome.”
Tao Yu was not averse to the discussion.
If the Burning Legion only had their top combatants, Tao Yu felt he could try to lure them out and confront them.
But the critical issue was, now he also understood that even just a branch of the Burning Legion could summon demons through sacrifices directly from the Distorted Hollow.
That was somewhat troublesome.
Tao Yu was strong, but he couldn’t possibly sweep those demons off this world alone, so the local resistance had to be bolstered.
At the very least, he needed to make them establish a temporary base in the neighboring Middle-earth and then carry out long-term recovery operations here.
Otherwise, given the situation of the Burning Legion, once they started snowballing and caused this World Fragment to collapse and the World Will to fall, it was likely to spread to the surrounding worlds, forming a huge hidden danger.
Indeed, the Burning Legion also had such potential.
That was also why he did not expose the traitor right from the start…
It was still the carrier’s combat meeting room.
It was still the same representatives, only now Tao Yu and Ohno-ki had joined.
Tao, what we want to understand now is that you are willing to accept us, but whether you will grant us some corresponding powers.
You might not know, but in our world, we believe in the equality of all people and tend not to accept certain constraints.”
Steele spoke first, her tone somewhat firm.
She had the support of the Homelanders, and when necessary, she also had her trump card to give to the Homelanders, so she was quite confident.
Her words were also very grand-sounding, something they had discussed beforehand and agreed upon as a collective will.
Although Tao Yu theoretically represented the Development Zone, not Middle-earth, hearing Steele’s words also seemed quite interesting to him.
“Wait a second, whether Middle-earth is willing to accept everyone is another matter.”
“The Deep Sea has already said, you have agreed.”
It was then that Nia took the opportunity to speak.
“Yes, willing to accept refugees, but how many and exactly who to receive hasn’t been mentioned yet.”
Tao Yu’s reply blocked the words back, but it gave Nia even more joy inside.
You are unilaterally breaching the agreement!
We won’t be bullied!”
Nia’s resolute voice, although it caused Steele, who presided over the meeting, to frown slightly, also made her feel it might be okay to have another bad cop now, as she could make up for it at key moments.
“Although we have been chased everywhere by those demons, your Excellency should also know that we are not weak.”
Another representative, Porter, also spoke in a forceful tone.
That attitude, ‘if we can’t beat the demons, surely we can beat you,’ fit exactly with Tao Yu’s assessment of them.
“Everyone here is a friend against the demons, there’s no need for this.”
At this point, Steele also timely spoke up in defense, then sincerely said to Tao Yu,
Tao, the demons have destroyed our families and homes, please do not destroy our last hope.”
Though comparatively, Steele’s words were somewhat milder than both Nia and Porter, this back-and-forth technique did amuse Tao Yu.
This line of reasoning felt eerily familiar.
No, it is to give you hope.
Yet not only do you fail to show gratitude, but some even chose to side with the demons, which truly disappoints me…”
Tao Yu’s words caused almost everyone in the room to feel a shock.
Whether truly in league with the demons or unaware, everyone’s hearts were in turmoil.
Someone secretly allied with the demons?
Damn, they didn’t announce it for everyone to consider!
Even Steele felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
“Please, your Excellency, do not spread rumors.”
Upon hearing this, Tao Yu could not help but let out a snort of derision.
“If I say there are, then there are…”
“Actually, you must also have some guesses yourself, the previous leaks of the Homelanders’ whereabouts and their encirclement are prime examples.”
Tao Yu appeared quite nonchalant.
“In fact, in addition to my strength, I am also a Diviner.
I have delved a bit into the art of Divination and have already locked on to the target…”
While speaking, Tao Yu’s eyes gradually turned a deep blue, scanning the entire room.
They were all ordinary people; he wanted to use provocative words to startle the snake, facilitating the connections of Mysticism and using Divination to forcibly root out those still in hiding.
Nia stood up righteously, showing no signs of guilt, instead appearing somewhat indignant.
But then, without further ado, Tao Yu simply pressed his watch, projecting a three-dimensional hologram that prominently displayed the previous communication scene between Nia and that unknown Magician.
