The gift for V5?
What could it be?
Taiji was puzzled. He realized what the Fels family wanted to do, but the problem was that with V5's level, the Fels family using the Republic of Padokea to protect themselves was already the limit. Could it be that they could still threaten V5?
Soon, his answer was revealed along with the TV screen.
On TV, a press conference was being staged.
Taiji recognized the person standing on the stage. He was one of the leaders of a certain country. Although he wasn't the king or prime minister, he was still very important... He was a ruler who could control the fate of the country.
As a member of the V5 Committee, he had to have a certain understanding of the key figures and national conditions of various countries.
Moreover, judging from the scene of the press conference, the scene was extraordinary, and had attracted a lot of media.
As the leader said his words in public, Taiji's eyes slowly lost focus...
The core idea of this press conference was very simple, which was that this leader was accusing V5 of dissatisfaction, and was considering whether to tear up the treaty with V5... The words of these powerful people couldn't be believed. Many of them were actually just putting on an act in order to win some political chips.
But at least this press conference had released a signal to V5...
"He did it?"
Taiji stiffly turned his head, and looked at the smiling man beside him.
Did the Fels family have this much energy?
Wasn't it said that the reason why other countries hadn't dealt with the mafia was simply because the managers of some subordinate agencies had received some bribes?
How could it involve such important figures?
"Switch to another one."
Oboro said, ignoring Taiji's surprised gaze.
David pressed the remote control, and the picture changed. It was actually another press conference with a very similar scale and form.
On the stage, what another national leader said was the same old wine in a new bottle, and was almost exactly the same as the previous person.
"Continue."
Oboro.
Immediately after, David kept switching TV channels... Almost every picture that was being played had the same content.
Taiji's brain was blank.
How many countries were there?
Ten?
It was obvious that these leaders who were in power in various countries had seemed to have discussed it privately, and were holding press conferences at the same time... Talking about V5's 'crimes'. Among them, there were some small countries, and there were also some countries with a large size like the Republic of Padokea... One country alone wasn't anything, but suddenly, all the countries were starting to target V5's several super-large countries.
This was undoubtedly a blow and provocation to the prestige of the five great powers!
The reason why the human world was balanced was because of V5's credibility and binding force. If this was disintegrated, then... The human world would be in chaos.
Once the rules were broken... What would follow would be war!
The contradictions and conflicts between various countries would evolve to a white-hot degree... And stopping a war between countries wasn't that easy. The energy, manpower, and money that would be spent was unimaginable.
Unconsciously, Taiji's throat rolled.
His back shirt was soaked...
Cold sweat also seeped out of his forehead.
He had been wrong!
Everyone, including the higher-ups of V5, and his direct superior, had been wrong!
The Fels family hadn't bribed the lower-level managers of other countries, because if it was just bribery, it was impossible for them to have this kind of energy!
The Fels family hadn't taken over the entire mafia yet, so they naturally couldn't interfere in the economies of other countries either. Then... How exactly had they done it?
"This person... You know him, right?"
As if he knew what he was thinking, suddenly, Oboro pointed at the bald man on the TV, who was red-faced, and was passionately and angrily scolding V5 in front of all the media, and asked.
"I know him."
Taiji swallowed.
"Just a month ago, his wife died... She was killed by him personally." Oboro said lightly.
"..."
"Not long after the funeral, he married a young and beautiful new lover, and the other party gave birth to a son for him early on... Speaking of which, he's also related to our Fels family..." Oboro's words instantly made Taiji understand.
It was women!
It was offspring!
"There are many people like him in their country... They're all decision-makers who have the right to speak in politics! If V5 wants to eliminate them all, do you think... It's possible?"
Impossible!
Taiji's heart subconsciously gave the answer.
To purge a country's political circles was no different from starting a war!
They V5 was just a joint organization that was led by five super-large countries.
Although in reality, it was led by the five great powers.
But on the surface, it didn't belong to any one country. It was just waving the banner of seeking the development of all mankind. They had no right to interfere in other people's own affairs.
Taiji's hands and feet were ice-cold.
If this continued... V5 would become a joke.
These leaders who were controlled by the Fels family, even if they weren't the number one or two leaders of the country, they were still in the top few... Their words carried too much weight.
The headlines of newspapers all over the world tomorrow would probably be one title.
The social uproar and public opinion that would be caused would be unprecedented!
"You say... What if the people standing on the stage became some kings... Or Director-Generals?" Oboro said lightly.
On the six continents, the national conditions of some countries that were open to the outside world were different... Some were relatively modern and democratic, and some were hereditary like Kakin, and there were also autocratic royal families like East Gorteau.
Therefore, the leaders of countries were also divided into kings or Director-Generals.
Taiji was dumbfounded.
Could it be that... The Fels family had already...
This was the fundamental reason why various countries hadn't interfered in the Black Tide Incident!
Beep beep beep.
Suddenly, the phone in Taiji's clothes made a piercing sound.
"That... Oboro... Mr. Oboro, I... Need to... Take a... Call."
Without needing to take out his phone, Taiji knew who was calling, and what it was for... The V5 headquarters must have already exploded.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Council, these two departments, must be in a terrible state.
His expression was pale, and he was a little unsteady after getting up. He said haltingly.
Even his address to Oboro had changed.
"Hmm... It's okay. I'll wait for you... Go ahead."
Oboro waved his hand.
Then, Taiji took out his phone, and quickly ran away.
"Turn the volume up a little, and let me properly enjoy the performances of these clowns." In the room, only Oboro and David were left. Oboro said happily.
David turned up the volume on the TV.
"You say... Isn't it sad that the fate of humans and countries is controlled by these greedy and selfish people?"
"This is also one of the reasons why we chose them, and helped them... Without us, they wouldn't be able to reach this height. In addition, this is actually an advantage for your plan, Lord." David echoed, "As for the future of the country's people... It shouldn't be within their scope of consideration. Right now, they're looking at their impassioned speeches, which are full of a sense of justice. Maybe after they step down, they'll jump into the arms of a beauty right away... Or go enjoy the pleasure brought by desire."
"Of course, there are also leaders who are full of responsibility... But judging from the number we've contacted over the years, the proportion isn't large. Although at the beginning, some people held on to their positions and 定性, they ultimately lost to human nature... As long as their weaknesses are caught, they'll soon be defeated."
"Hehehe..."
...
At the Hunter Association headquarters.
In the Chairman's office.
Netero was sitting cross-legged in front of a chessboard, with Beans by his side.
The two of them were playing chess, but they were no longer in the mood.
Their attention was completely attracted by the TV screen that was hanging up...
A ruler of a country was venting his dissatisfaction to his heart's content... The bargaining chips of this press conference, which was full of political flavor, and the innocent people who were implicated... Were only the general public. It didn't have much of an impact on them themselves.
"Turn it off..."
Netero lowered his eyes, put down the teacup in his hand, and sighed.
"Chairman, V5 is still waiting for your reply... Regarding Oboro."
Beans reminded him.
"Don't worry about it."
The old man looked at the dark night sky outside the window.
He already knew about the Fels family and Oboro's affairs... And the fact that he had caused such a big commotion was clearly... From Oboro's hands.
Had this young junior... Already reached this level?
...
At the same time, in a bar in a city on the Yorbian continent.
Ging Freecss, who was dressed sloppily, was sitting at the bar, with a glass of wine that had been specially mixed by the bartender in front of him, but he didn't drink it.
He was just looking at the TV screen that was broadcasting, like the other customers in the bar.
"It's starting..."
After watching for a while, Ging lowered his head, only muttered one sentence, put down a few Jenny, and got up to leave with his hands in his pockets.
After leaving the store, he was greeted by the night wind.
He exhaled a breath of turbid air.
The wind was a little cold tonight...
...
In a dark room, there was a flickering light.
Pariston crossed his hands, didn't turn on the lights, and stared at the little people on the TV with a blank expression, and a deep gaze... It was unknown what he was thinking.
...
In the Kakin Empire.
Inside a special building.
Beyond, who was half-naked, was lying on a wide and soft bed, propping his head with one hand.
Beside him were several beautiful women who weren't wearing a stitch of clothing.
Some of these women were helping him massage, and relax his muscles... And some were feeding him the food in the fruit plate into his mouth for him to enjoy.
Beyond looked at the TV program, and slowly cracked a smile.
His smile was uplifting, and his gaze was fiery.
It was just that this expression made the lines and scars on his eyebrows look especially ferocious.
"Hahahaha!"
He let out a deep and steady voice.
Immediately after, his gaze narrowed, and his eyes flashed with a captivating light, "Not bad! To actually dare to have the courage to start a war with V5... You're much stronger than the old man! As expected, you're just like me... That's right. Those old fogeys should be eliminated!"
"I'm really looking forward to... Meeting you..."
