However, the questions from the Seven Cities Council were proactively delivered to him.
Almost like an interrogation.
Yamen, which suffered the worst disaster and had the slowest relief efforts and the most inhumane actions, bluntly questioned Luo Island and Xiang State during the meeting—same earthquake, why did your Luo Island and Xiang State suffer such little damage, and why were you so well-prepared? Did you receive some information beforehand and not share it with everyone?
There were even hints in their words...
Did you cause this earthquake?
Ji Jue remained silent.
In his silence, his fists clenched.
In the video call, he couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
"You might be misunderstanding something."
He sighed, straightened his body, and suddenly smiled at the faces in the meeting room: "I indeed have the ability to cause such things... just, if it were me, do you think you'd still have the chance to sit here alive and talk to me?
Why don't we give it a try?"
