Chapter 370: Overseas barbarians fear power but not virtue, kill them!

Colin asked coldly, all the kindness he pretended to have disappeared from his face.

"boom--!"

As the sharp accusations were made, a dull and abrupt sound erupted from the red wood conference table, which startled many people and made them tense.

Colin slammed the table and stood up. He clenched his big hands, crumpled the contract paper into pieces and pressed them under his palm.

His face became somewhat ferocious, like a lion king whose territory had been invaded. With his arrogant and disrespectful behavior, he blatantly expressed his extreme dissatisfaction to the six Chinese negotiating representatives and the senior officials of the Security Council and the nine ministries present.

With such a strong and courageous British aristocrat leading the way, representatives from the other eleven countries gradually became tougher. They realized that this was the best opportunity for cooperation and that the law could not hold everyone responsible, so they followed suit and rebuked.

"Yu, let me quote an old Chinese saying: Leave a way out for others so that we can meet again in the future."

"We can compromise with your other requirements, but if you insist on the last subsidiary agreement of the contract, I think our cooperation will end here."

Choi Hyun Bin from South Korea, an awakener with level 4 petrification ability, solemnly declared their bottom line and could not tolerate China having the right to enter the territory at any time.

Novotori from Russia slowly put down the contract, with a complicated look on his face, and sighed:
"It is true that we need your country's ability lock, but if obtaining it means sacrificing part of our sovereignty, no one would be willing to sign a contract that is destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame in the future."

"Yu, my meaning is very clear. The transaction value of both parties must be in a similar range. Either you delete the ownership conditions of the secret resources, or you share the design drawings of the mecha. Otherwise, no discussion."

This was in stark contrast to his relatively rational, and as gentle a tone as possible.

Yano Rin, who is from the East and ranked No. 32 among the awakened people in the world, has a mean face and sinister eyes. He said coldly and jokingly:
"I really can't imagine how arrogant and conceited you are to draw up such an overbearing contract."

"Are you imagining that you are qualified to be the boss of the Eastern Hemisphere and want to trample on our dignity and recklessly make huge profits?!"

The atmosphere at the scene was tense and full of gunpowder. Listening to the endless sarcastic and mocking words of the 24 representatives of various countries, the senior officials of the Security Council and the nine executive departments all looked frosty.

The two vice presidents, Gao Mei and Lu Ci, hated these Japanese beasts in human skin the most due to the historical grievances between their sects and families. Seeing Yano Rin and Matsubara Shinaga talking nonsense and stirring up conflicts, they had already prepared their killing intentions.

Faced with many noisy voices, Yu Huai turned a deaf ear to them.

His eyes became increasingly fierce as he looked at the group of clowns who were arguing and getting red in the face. He first found Colin, the most troublesome one, and responded:
"I don't think there's anything ridiculous in the contract. This meeting is a collaboration at best, but a charity at worst."

"You want to gnaw on the bones, but you refuse to bow your head. So tell me, are we begging you, or are you begging us?"

"As for the so-called backlash, you don't need to worry about it for me. It's not your turn as a junior to teach me what to do."

Having said that, Yu Huai had a faint smile on his face. He ignored Colin's angry look and raised his voice again:
"I advise you that it's not too late to move your stupid hands away now. There's only one copy of the contract. If it's destroyed, it will be troublesome."

"What do you mean?!"

Colin's face turned pale, his heart rate suddenly accelerated, and he felt inexplicably irritated and uneasy. He subconsciously loosened his right hand, and the piece of paper was twisted and shattered, and some of the words were blurred.

However, Yu Huai ignored him, treating him as air, and then looked at Choi Hyun Bin from South Korea and said:

"As the ancients said, the barbarians in the world fear power but not virtue. This is also an old saying, and I happen to like it very much."

"There's no need to leave a way out. We may not be able to meet again in the future. As for whether the cooperation will continue, do you really think you have the final say?"

Hearing this, Choi Hyun Bin and Ming Zhengyu, two Korean Level 4 awakeners, felt a chill in their hearts and their hands and feet trembled slightly.

Yu Huai's words undoubtedly tore their relationship apart. They might not be able to leave now even if they wanted to.

Novotori, Victormir and Laisha from Russia vaguely saw the clues and felt a little heavy-hearted. They had already foreseen a killing crisis on the verge of breaking out.

As they waited anxiously, Yu Huai formally responded to the remarks made by Novotori, Matsubara Shinaga, and Yano Rin.

"The transaction in the contract is equal in value between both parties. The country behind you has not yet completely crawled out of the quagmire of war. You are only capable of defeating the offensive of the rebels, but you do not have the power to completely eliminate them."

"These locust-like awakeners will only increase in number and become stronger. If it drags on for a year or two, several level five awakeners will be born. Not to mention whether nuclear weapons will work, how many people will die if you go to war with them? I'm sure you have done mathematical modeling and you know how many people will die."

"Do I need to be more unkind? If you are willing to gamble, bet that your technology will break through first, bet that your personnel will be promoted to level five first, then why not give it a try."

"The flawed Level 5 in the United States defeated the 12 original apostles before breaking into the Behemoth headquarters and reaching a cooperation with the authority there to stop the sale of G1. Do you think those rebels will give you a chance to breathe after they break through Level 5?"

"I repeat, mechas are not part of the contract."

Yu Huai looked forward and argued with the two representatives from Dongyang:
"Masanobu Matsubara, you don't have to have any unnecessary delusions."

"Also, Yano Lin, if you think we have the ambition to become the boss of the Eastern Hemisphere and are trampling on your dignity and wantonly harvesting and suppressing you, then just think of it that way. I don't need to explain anything to you."

"Even if that's the case, what can you do?"

Yano Lin laughed in anger: "I don't agree with your rampant behavior. If you don't change this agreement today, the cooperation will be void! Why don't we just go home?"

"Oh? Is this what you mean, or what you all mean?"

Yu Huai was not surprised at all. He expected things to develop to this point. He looked around the room and asked patiently:

"Is there anyone else who shares the same idea as Mr. Yano? Why don't you step forward and let me see."

As soon as he finished speaking, Colin, who was arrogant at first, changed his expression slightly, and somehow he suddenly lost his temper. He was pulled back by his companions and told to calm down.

There was an invisible murderous aura spreading at the scene, and the temperature around suddenly dropped.

The two Level 4 awakeners from South Korea first glanced at the silent representatives from European countries, then weighed their own discretion, and ultimately did not have the courage to stand up.

Novotori and Victormir of Russia realized that the storm was coming, and they leaned back slightly, leaning against their seats with calm eyes, still thinking about how to break the deadlock.

Yano Rin and Matsubara Shinaga noticed the subtle changes in the surrounding environment, and an unnatural stiffness appeared on their faces.

The representatives of the other eleven countries just watched from the sidelines, treating them as the first to take action. If there was profit to be made, they would rush in, but if it was embarrassing, they would retreat to the back. They could advance and retreat freely.

At this point, they had no way out and could only bite the bullet and get up and prepare to leave.

"Your country is insisting on having its own way. We are not worthy of this 'gift'. Let's just leave!"

"Walk?"

"Is this a place where you can come as you please and show disrespect as you please? I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding."

Hearing the words of the old man with frosty hair, Matsubara Shinaga sensed the danger of death, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly shouted:

"Yu, what do you mean?! Are you going to detain us? You are trying to start a war between the two countries!"

In order to protect himself, Yano Lin decisively dragged the other eleven countries into the water, saying meaningfully:
"Everyone is watching here. Could it be that your country wants to suppress us by force?"

"Everyone, since they are so arrogant, how long are you going to endure it? Why don't you just leave?"

Yano Rin and Matsubara Shinaga were determined to go all out. Before they came, they felt that it was unlikely that they could bypass the blood feud of the last century and have a successful negotiation. Now that the conflict has intensified, they no longer have any hope for the transaction of the power lock and just want to leave this dangerous continent as soon as possible.

Yu Huai felt as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world regarding the two people's words of discord and provocation. He did not care about any unusual movements of the envoys from other countries. It was just the right time to make an example of them to scare the monkeys.

Thinking of this, Yu Huai looked sideways and talked to Zhang Zhiwei:
"President Zhang, can you tell them about the laws of the Security Council?"

"it is good"

Zhang Zhiwei looked indifferent and answered softly.

When the meeting was finally finalized last night, he was in charge of this aspect.

"Article 12 of the Security Council Law states that anyone who views, steals, copies or disseminates the Council's top secrets will be arrested immediately, regardless of life or death."

"Page 2 of the contract contains detailed data on the ability lock, which is considered one of the top secrets. Due to the special nature of the contract, you are allowed to read it. However, if the contract cannot be signed, anyone who knows about it will be executed or permanently detained according to the law."

After saying this, Zhang Zhiwei stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and issued a notice to Matsubara Shinaga and Yano Rin, as if he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

"You two, choose one."

"?!"

The faces of the dozen visitors from Japan changed drastically. Some of them panicked and threatened:
"No! You can't do that, it violates international security laws!"

"We have the right to tell the world what you are doing. We have been recording this meeting in real time!"

Zhang Zhiwei disagreed and said slowly:
"Do you think the laws of foreign countries can reach into our territory? It's just a joke."

"Before the meeting started, the electromagnetic signals in the entire conference room were blocked. Kid, who do you want to inform?"

"What? You guys are cheating!!"

The Japanese envoy's legs and feet went weak, and he retreated repeatedly, his pupils filled with panic.

Not only him, but also the representatives of the 11 countries and hundreds of visitors present had their pupils contracted violently, their mood suddenly plummeted to the bottom, and they felt a creepy chill swaying in the depths of their hearts.

There are only two choices before them now: either endure the humiliation and sign a harsh contract;
Or join forces with the two Level 4 awakeners from the East and fight their way out with all possible efforts.

But the probability of achieving the latter is almost zero.

The three presidents of the Security Council and Chen Qingxuanzun, who ranked first in the world, were present. Among the 24 representatives, no one dared to take the initiative to fight. With an insurmountable gap in strength, numbers were meaningless.

As for the former, if they sign, they will probably be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

The 22 foreign representatives were restless, anxious like ants on a hot pan, and at a loss as to where to go.

Matsubara Shinaga's face was gloomy and he didn't dare to look at the audience at all.

There were cold gazes gathering together, as if they wanted to tear him into pieces.

"Wow"

There was a gloomy light in Matsubara Shinaga's eyes, and the strange energy in his body gathered madly, flowing through his important organs, ready to go. He gritted his teeth secretly, ready to fight to the death.

"Yu, Zhang! Are you really going to push us to this extent?"

Yano Lin looked at the huge gap in strength between the two sides and felt desperate. He said hesitantly:

"No room for maneuver?"

Zhang Zhiwei said nothing, and Yu Huai responded to him.

"If the leaders of the Eastern Hemisphere are not a little domineering, how can they win the support of the people?"

Before he could finish his words, Lu Jin, who was sitting on the left side of the seat, took action directly, silently reciting an ancient spell in his heart.

A huge amount of pain suddenly flooded into the minds of Matsubara Shinaga and Yano Rin. Their consciousness suddenly split apart, their faces turned pale with pain, and they roared like evil spirits.

"what!!"

"what!!"

"Pfft——!"

A golden light flashed by, and Zhang Zhiwei, who had made an appointment before, acted decisively, so fast that the 22 foreign representatives could not even notice it.

Only two sounds of blood splattering were heard at the moment when Matsubara Shinaga and Yano Rin revealed fatal flaws.

Zhang Zhiwei, who had gathered his Qi into a blade, came to his side. With an indifferent expression, he swept his hand past them. Two hideous and astonished heads flew high into the air and they died on the spot.

"Ah! Matsunaga-senpai! Lin-senpai!"

The Japanese envoy who was closest to him was so frightened that he screamed.

"Humph!"

Gao Mei, an elder of the Tang Clan who was in the audience and also one of the vice-chairmen of the Security Council, suddenly took action.

She snapped her fingers and sixteen colorless, tasteless and traceless pills attacked the camp of the Japanese envoys.

"Boom"

"Boom"

The wriggling particles seemed to have life, piercing the vital points of one messenger after another, and the crowd fell down one after another like straw cut by a sickle.

Several of the awakeners who stood at the peak of level 3 had sharp and terrifying five senses. They burst out at the most extreme speed to avoid fatal blows.

"?"

Seeing that they were still trying to resist, Lu Jin raised his hand and launched a killing move.

The true energy spread throughout the entire venue, as fast as a stream of light, suddenly locking onto several places in the space, freezing the moving afterimages in an instant, making the limbs stiff and unable to move.

"boom!"

As Lu Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, the ice sculpture exploded from the inside out, and the three awakeners were killed without a complete body.

Along with the wailing of more than a dozen Japanese envoys, the pupils of the beheaded Matsubara Shinaga and Yano Rin dimmed and they completely lost consciousness. The strong smell of blood spread throughout the entire conference room. The 22 representatives who witnessed all this felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave and their minds were blanked.
