"Impossible! How can this be!"
"Fuck, fuck! This is a missile swarm!"
"He's only at the initial stage of Bone Tempering, how can he possibly withstand this?"
"Has his strength recovered? But don't monsters take some time to regain their original strength after emerging?"
...
Listening to the noisy voices around him, John Clisson's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned to look at the surveillance screen.
On the screen.
The flames from the missile swarm gradually weakened.
And within them.
A figure slowly emerged.
It was...
Ao Yuan!
Just then, Ao Yuan, still amidst the flames, suddenly turned his head.
His enormous, pair of cold, deep pupils seemed to look towards them through the surveillance screen.
At this moment.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky.
Logically, they shouldn't feel cold.
But everyone in the conference room felt a bone-chilling cold seep into their bodies.
It was as if their blood had frozen solid.
"Run, run!"
Someone screamed in panic and fled the conference room like a madman.
"How dare you bombard me with shells!"
"John Clisson, Sanben Yitian, Han Yibang..."
As everyone was terrified, a voice like thunder boomed from all directions.
The leaders of the countries who heard their names turned deathly pale.
Whether it was due to excessive fear or something else, their bodies trembled uncontrollably!
"Tomorrow, all of you will go to Mount Taibai and kneel to beg for my forgiveness!"
"Otherwise, you will face the consequences!"
After saying this.
Ao Yuan left!
As if nothing had happened, he simply walked away!
This, however, made them tremble even more intensely.
Because.
They could all sense the emotion in Ao Yuan's words.
If they didn't comply, the consequences would be unbearable!
After Ao Yuan left, the scene fell into silence for a long while.
"Ex-excuse me, sirs, perhaps we should just... let this matter go?"
At this moment, one of the national leaders stood up shakily.
He was the leader of a small country and had initially believed that killing Ao Yuan would be feasible, allowing him to remain.
But now that he realized Ao Yuan couldn't be killed, how could he dare to stay?
"I... I'll leave too!"
His words immediately prompted the other national leaders in the conference room to stand up.
Their countries were not particularly powerful. If Ao Yuan truly came looking for them, their only fate would be annihilation.
This was something they couldn't help but worry about.
As they stood up to leave, some of the other leaders in the conference room also began to feel restless and wanted to stand up.
"Wait!"
Seeing more and more leaders wanting to leave, John Clisson took a deep breath and stood up.
He first looked at those who were leaving, then said, "I'll say this first."
"Whatever decision you make later, I will not interfere in any way!"
With that, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.
Exhaling a puff of burning smoke, he continued, "I know you are very afraid."
"Afraid of Ao Yuan's retaliation!"
"To be honest, even as the leader of the United States, I am also somewhat afraid."
"If I could, I would also take this opportunity to leave this place!"
Having said this, John Clisson sat back down and tapped the table, continuing, "But can you guarantee that Ao Yuan won't bother you if you leave now?"
"Are you really going to abandon your dignity and beg Ao Yuan for forgiveness? Even if you go, if you don't offer something that touches him, will he let you off so easily?"
"I haven't been dealing with Ao Yuan for a short time, and I can tell you responsibly that it's absolutely impossible!"
"Or... do any of you understand Ao Yuan better than I do?"
As this question echoed in the silent conference room, the leaders who had just stood up froze.
If it came to understanding Ao Yuan, they were definitely not as knowledgeable as John Clisson.
So, was there truly no other way?
Were their only options to face Ao Yuan's wrath?
Thinking of this, their faces grew even paler.
Seeing their expressions, John Clisson remained silent, his gaze shifting to Sanben Yitian.
Sanben Yitian understood the meaning in his eyes.
Clearing his throat slightly to draw everyone's attention, he put on a calm demeanor and said, "I think he's right."
"Whether it was causing trouble within the United States or making Han Yibang and the others come three times to visit!"
"It all shows that Ao Yuan is not an easy person to deal with."
"But I believe that if we countries unite, even if Ao Yuan is audacious, he will not be our match!"
"At least he wouldn't dare to rashly attack any one of our countries!"
"After all, on Earth, we humans are the true masters!"
Silence fell over the room after Sanben Yitian finished speaking.
Han Yibang's eyes lit up. Looking at everyone, he chimed in, "I think you're all right."
"Only by uniting can we possibly deal with Ao Yuan!"
"If anyone is willing to unite, I, Han Yibang, will be the first to join!"
The crisis in the small world had been resolved by Ao Yuan.
But how could he willingly contribute 50% of the Korean Peninsula's annual grain harvest?
This was an excellent opportunity.
"I plan to form an alliance!"
"If you join, then we will advance and retreat together."
"If you choose not to join, then apologize to Ao Yuan as you see fit."
"But whatever Ao Yuan does afterward will have nothing to do with us!"
John Clisson looked at the silent crowd and struck while the iron was hot.
The people in the conference room exchanged glances.
The national leaders who had stood up earlier had now returned to their seats.
The conference room fell silent again, the leaders' eyes flickering.
John Clisson's proposal had, undeniably, given them a glimmer of hope!
Then, slowly, hands began to be raised: "I... I'll join!"
"I'll join too!"
"I'll join too!"
"Damn it, I don't believe that no matter how powerful Ao Yuan is, he would dare to deal with us united!"
Gradually, the expressions of the people in the conference room relaxed, and they all raised their hands.
In the large conference room, only a handful of people had not yet raised their hands.
"Excellent!"
Seeing this, a smile spread across John Clisson's lips. "Since so many people agree, I officially declare the formation of the alliance!"
"Tomorrow, I will send diplomats to negotiate with Ao Yuan."
Saying this, John Clisson looked at the remaining few who had not yet declared their stance and changed his tone, "As for you."
"Then go and beg Ao Yuan properly!"
"As for whether you live or die afterward, it has nothing to do with us!"
Seeing that his words still did not elicit a response from them.
John Clisson's expression turned cold, and he waved his hand, "Alright!"
"Meeting adjourned!"
"Someone, escort the guests out!"
