Chapter 1098 Our Bureau Promises to Never Use Weapons First
Three days later, in the capital of Morna, Golden Fiber Port.
"Everyone, I feel like everyone has always had a deep prejudice against me."
Looking at the Taurus Director in the celestial mirror, who was unwilling to let him take over the seabed ice incident no matter what he said, Leon argued with a slight displeasure:
"I admit that I did use heavy hands to solve problems in the past, but that's not because I'm born with a heavy hand, but because it's necessary! Because the problems I faced in the past were really hard to solve without heavy hands!
Although my methods were a bit extreme, the scope of influence was a bit wide, the commotion was a bit loud, and the impact was a bit bad... well... Actually, I don’t necessarily have to intervene in the matter of the seabed freezing this time..."
Under the gazes of several directors who asked, “Aren’t you very clear about this?”, Leon, who was a little embarrassed, cleared his throat to cover up, and then took the initiative to change the subject:
"I just think that this seafloor ice event will be a good window. After all, the Ten Clan of Da Ting are also part of the modern world. They don't even have reproductive isolation from us humans. The Ten Clan of Da Ting and us humans can completely coexist.
Moreover, apart from the more radical descendants of the earth, the three sea tribes and the Kingdom of Saio, the three feather tribes and the Kingdom of Refraction all get along well, and the lineage of the Great Witch King has even directly merged with the Kingdom of the Witches, proving that this path is not completely unfeasible.
So I thought, instead of continuing to maintain a semi-hostile state like in the past, it would be better to take this opportunity to see if I can get them to join the system of the Twelve Kingdoms and become a part of the real world."
"You're right. I actually have the same idea."
After Leon finished speaking, Director Taurus nodded slightly and said in agreement:
"And it's not just me. Cancer, Scorpio, including Capricorn and Virgo who are still recovering from their injuries, none of us object to accepting the ten descendants of the Great Court... But it is precisely because we all object that the issue of the seabed freezing this time cannot be left to you to solve!"
"???"
"Leon, it's not that we don't believe you, it's mainly because... you really were a little too heavy-handed!"
Facing Leon who insisted on volunteering to solve the problem of seabed ice, the helpless Taurus Director persuaded him earnestly:
“The bureau has no doubts about your ability, and we believe that you can easily solve the problem of seabed ice, but we are worried that when you solve the problem of seabed ice, you will also solve the problem of the sea creatures.
The main purpose of our operation this time is to solve the problem of seabed ice and prevent it from affecting the real world. It is not to go to war with the sea tribe directly, nor to catch them all in one fell swoop, so there is really no need for you to participate."
"It's not that exaggerated..."
Leon retorted speechlessly after hearing this:
"This is the prejudice I mentioned before! I am always very measured when I take action!"
"a ha ha ha!"
After hearing what Leon said, Directors Scorpio and Virgo, who had just returned from their old home, did not react. However, Director Cancer, who was very familiar with Leon's style of doing things, laughed out loud accidentally.
Do you have any sense?
If you know your limits, how did the Kingdom of Korok disappear? Who destroyed half of the Dream Realm? Why did the Death Realm become a branch of the Underworld? If you knew what limits meant, that thrush who only knows how to avoid disasters could have directly become the president of the King of Slaughter Society!
"..."
No... that's a bit insulting.
After unable to help but glare at the Cancer director who was laughing heartily, Leon was about to continue arguing when he saw the Taurus director waving his hand and said with a headache on his face:
“Leon, the question now is not whether we believe you, but whether the sea people believe you.
In fact, you might as well think about it from another perspective. If the Northern Kingdom said it wanted to have peace talks, but at the same time pulled out a bomb that could blow up the entire robin to the ground, and then sent it to the robin capital with great fanfare, saying that it would help you solve the problem...what would you think?"
"I……"
"Give up, Leon. With your current 'reputation' and past record, if we let you go, it would be equivalent to declaring war on the entire three sea tribes. Their first reaction would definitely be to fight to the death, and even if they can't win, they would die standing. The problem is that the reason for the ice on the seabed has not been found out yet, and we may need the help of the sea tribe. Now is not the time to conflict with the sea tribe, so you should focus on other things. It's not that we don't trust you, but you are really not suitable for this mission!"
"Taurus is right."
"Aquarius, you should continue your vacation."
"Yes, it's rare for you to have a few days off, so leave this matter to me and Scorpio."
"..."
彳庍口巴……
Faced with the unanimous veto from four directors, led by Taurus, Scorpio, Virgo, and Cancer, Leon, who was quite interested in the seabed ice incident, was ultimately forced out of the meeting with a huge disadvantage of four votes to one.
If you don’t want to let me, then don’t let me!
After putting away the blackened celestial sphere, Leon, who was kicked out of the "group chat", sighed in frustration, then unlocked the screen around him to cover up the general illusion, walked quickly to the reception area of Jinxian Port, and waved to the ships in the dock from a distance.
After seeing his figure, Anna, who was standing by the side of the boat, smiled faintly, waved her hand from a distance, and pulled Melanie, who was trying to climb the railing, down.
"Don't run around!"
As usual, she grabbed her sister's ear and twisted it a little bit. Then, as Melanie cried out in pain, the thin girl's smile faded and she scolded her unhappily:
"You promised me not to cause trouble, so I let you two on deck. If you don't obey me, I'll chase you both back!"
"No no!"
Following the force of the thin girl pulling her ears, Melanie unconsciously stood on tiptoe and said with a wronged look on her face:
"I wasn't disobedient. I just wanted to say goodbye to my brother, but the railing was too high and I could see my brother's forehead..."
"You are not allowed to climb up!"
After letting go of her hand and rubbing her sister's ear, the thin girl pinched her waist with one hand and poked her smooth forehead with the other hand, and said seriously:
"The ship has just weighed anchor and there are so many people on the deck. If you climb up the railing, the ship might shake or someone might push you and you'll fall into the sea!"
"Not afraid!"
Even if she stood on tiptoe, she couldn't see Leon's face on the dock. She wanted to tell her brother who stayed behind and ask him to help keep an eye on the business, so she said anxiously:
"Brother is right next to me! If I really fall, he will definitely save me!"
"?"
So if I wasn't around, you would have jumped down, right?
Seeing her sister trying to climb up the railing no matter what she said, the thin girl couldn't help but shake her head helplessly. Then she leaned over and hugged Melanie, holding her little butt, and picked her up with some difficulty, saying unhappily:
"Don't crawl anymore. Can't I just hold you in my arms? You...eh?"
Under the shocked gaze of the two sisters, a huge clam shell with a diameter of more than ten meters suddenly floated out from under the water surface, and under the strong push of a strange ocean current, it slammed into the dock where Lyon was standing.
"?!?!?!"
