Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Annan Base City, Annan Council.
On this day, the Annan Council was conducting a review of the recent zombie siege..
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Then, a staff member came in.
“Master Yun, someone asked me to give you this letter.”
Yun Mu was a little puzzled. He took the letter.
The other nine core members of the Annan Council all looked at Yun Mu, eager to know the contents of the letter.
Yun Mu opened the letter, only to see a mass of black gas rising.
This mass of black gas slowly formed a phantom.
“Shi Yuan!” Kang Lin said coldly.
“Esteemed members of the Annan Council, it has been several years. How have you all been?” the phantom chuckled.
“Shi Yuan, I presume this zombie siege was your doing?”
“Indeed, Master Kang, you hit the nail on the head.”
Kang Lin was the president of the Annan Council and the strongest person in the Annan Base City, a tier-five Evolved Being.
“By the way, my lords, I have two people in my custody now. One of them seems to be Master Yun’s daughter.”
Upon hearing this, all ten core members of the Annan Council lost their cool.
“Shi Yuan, what are you saying!” Yun Mu stared at the phantom and shouted.
“Master Yun seems to be very angry.”
Yun Mu slammed the table and shouted angrily, “Shi Yuan, what do you want?”
“Not much. I just want you to hand over a person.”
“Who?”
“Ye Li.”
“Ye Li?”
Except for Yun Mu, the name Ye Li meant nothing to the other nine core members of the Annan Council.
“What do you want with Ye Li?” Yun Mu stared at the phantom and asked coldly.
“Master Yun, there’s no need to ask further. Just bring Ye Li to Tongcheng, and your daughter will naturally return to your side safely. Otherwise, you know the consequences.”
With those words, the phantom disappeared.
Yun Mu quickly dialed Yun Feng’s communicator.
“Xiao Feng, is your sister at Annan Academy?”
“Dad, Sister and Xiao Hui might have left the city. They should be back soon.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Mu seemed to age ten years in an instant. He hung up the communicator.
This world was huge, and Ye Li might have left this area. How could he find him?
“Master Yun, who is Ye Li?” Mo Shi looked at Yun Mu and asked.
Mo Shi, Mo Chen’s father, was a Tier 4 Evolved Being.
Yun Mu recounted how he came to know Ye Li and how he had cured his illness.
“Master Yun, it seems that Ye Li has left the Annan Base City?” Mo Shi asked.
“It seems so.” Yun Mu nodded.
“Humph!”
Mo Shi suddenly coldly snorted, “I don’t know what Ye Li did, but he has offended Shi Yuan, causing the zombie siege and damaging our Annan Base City. It’s an unforgivable crime!”
“Master Mo, shouldn’t we be discussing how to rescue Master Yun’s daughter now?” Kang Lin said.
“President, just as Shi Yuan made clear, he wants Ye Li. Now that we can’t find him, how do we save Master Yun’s daughter? Moreover…”
“Moreover, what?”
“Moreover, isn’t it too risky to start a war with the White Lotus Sect?” Mo Shi said slowly. Yun Mu stared at Mo Shan. “Mo Shan, are you suggesting that my daughter should die??” “Master Yun, no one wants your daughter to die, but this is a critical period. Annan Base City has millions of residents, and the purpose of establishing the Annan Council is to protect them.”
“Here, I’d like to ask Lord Yun a question. Is your daughter’s life more important than others’ lives?”
As Mo Shi spoke, the atmosphere instantly became heavy.
“Mo Shi, would you say the same if it were your son being held hostage?” Yun Mu said coldly.
“Yes, I would. I, Mo Shi, have dedicated my whole life to Annan Base City. Annan Base City is above all else,” Mo Shi responded calmly.
“You…”
At this moment, Chen Ba spoke up.
Chen Ba was the vice-president of the Annan Council, Chen Yun’s father, a tier-five Evolved Being.
“Everyone, let’s vote.”
The other core members of the Annan Council all nodded, agreeing with the suggestion.
Immediately, the ten core members of the Annan Council began voting.
Yun Mu and Kang Lin, two votes.
Chen Ba and Mo Shi, eight votes.
With eight votes to two, the outcome was clear.
“Heh heh!” Yun Mu let out a cold laugh.
“Since you choose not to save her, i’ll save her myself.”
With that, Yun Mu got up and left the Annan Council chamber!
