Chapter 1445 732: Since Things Have Come to This, Let's Hold a Meeting First (Part 3)
Where is there anyone who just wants the assets but not the debt?
There must be an explanation!
"Of course, I naturally adhere to the rules of the Seven Cities."
Ji Jue laughed and turned to the terror-stricken Seno, his expression suddenly fierce: "If you break the rules, being ungrateful, it's intolerable by heaven, kill them all for me!"
Thud.
Seno, who had just gotten up, collapsed back to the ground, almost letting out a scream.
Soon after, the laughter of Ji Jue was heard.
"Just joking."
Ji Jue laughed and patted Seno's head like a dog, "It's most difficult to carry out justice against one's relative, but to be able to abandon darkness for light, to turn back when lost, the Sujano Family has indeed made up for their mistakes, avoiding any major errors.
I believe, Clan Leader Seno also wouldn't want this."
"Yes, yes, yes, right, right, right!" Seno nodded frantically, tears streaming down his face: "It's all the people below acting on their own accord, how could we dare do such an act that defies the great taboo of the Seven Cities?"
Speaking, he casually pointed to a corpse that Ji Jue had killed.
He did it all!
Feilqi's fist tightened.
You bastard…
Who was it just now who insisted that the one who lost the gamble wasn't himself? Who could it have been?!
"Rest assured, regarding this matter, Luo Island will definitely give the Seven Cities an explanation!"
Ji Jue firmly assured: "Given that the main culprit has been eliminated, and no major impact was caused, I think, there's no need for complete annihilation, right?
Of course, such a big matter cannot be brushed away. Concerning the losses of each family, Luo Island will specially conduct consultations and compensations… Please rest assured, I, Ji Jue, have always valued integrity and straightforwardness, a promise is a promise, and it will be delivered.
However, in terms of negotiation and talks, I'm afraid that Feilqi as the chairman will have to take the lead."
He paused for a moment and suddenly asked:
"It shouldn't be troublesome, right?"
Feilqi didn't want to speak, but everyone else started nodding frantically.
No trouble, no trouble at all, it's not troublesome!
What trouble could there be with benefits handed to us?
But Ji Jue still smiled, said nothing, and responded to nothing.
He just looked at Feilqi.
So now, the pressure was on Feilqi.
Everyone was looking over, urging silently.
Feilqi!
Feilqi, speak up!
If you don't speak, he won't move…
Feilqi didn't want to speak, he seemed to feel a bit like dying.
Earlier, he had used the rules of the Seven Cities and the intentions of other families to force Ji Jue to concede some benefits, yet now Ji Jue unabashedly used those concessions to immediately bind other families and the Seven Cities' rules, forcing Feilqi to nod.
Can't he be clueless about how these insects behave?!
As long as Ji Jue can produce something to silence them, they'd sell the ownership of Luo Island and the common interests of the Seven Cities clean.
What Ji Jue wants is the endorsement of the Seven Cities Council and the rules of the Seven Cities for himself!
What he wants is for Feilqi, as the chairman, to represent the main body of the Seven Cities to negotiate with himself!
Once the talks begin, who knows when they will end. But no matter the outcome of the talks, Luo Island will truly belong to Ji.
At worst, when Luo Island is gone, only Ji Island will remain!
But what can he say?
Still, look at the Lou Family behind Ji Jue, folks!
Feilqi could only sigh tiredly, closing his eyes.
Helplessly nodding.
"Alright."
Thus, the dust of the Seven Cities settled.
Ji Jue's takeover of Luo Island, and entrance into the Seven Cities Council, had already become a foregone conclusion!
.
.
Ji Jue arrived at Luo Island in the evening.
The clearing process began in the afternoon, and at noon the Seven Cities' Defense Fleet had already surrounded all of Luo Island.
Ji Jue had just left the Duel Arena, and immediately afterward, the security team arrived with the Peacekeeping Cat, openly boarding Luo Island, and then taking over security.
From the start, Ji Jue never planned to settle peacefully, nor did he think the Sujano Family would willingly accept their loss, what a joke, with lights off and masks on, who still cares about the rules?
If Seno cooperates, that's best, if not, he has his ways!
Previously, there was concealment, but now, the Mechanical Descent directly took full control of Luo Island, from communications to transportation, from finance to logistics—it all fell into Ji Jue's hands once Seno signed the contract.
Under these circumstances, with Seno's orders and cooperation, everything went smoothly, and occasional resistances were easily quelled by Liang Mo and his team.
All was calm, unruffled by storms.
For most people, they wouldn't even notice, silently and unnoticed, Luo Island had changed ownership.
Then, it was Ji Jue's DIY time.
The guilty were caught, the wicked were killed, the troublemakers were imprisoned, and all improper practices smashed!
Even with prior agreements, the illegal human trafficking line was completely eradicated by Ji Jue, and those who were too valuable to lose were reassigned to new jobs to ensure they could redeem themselves and contribute to the world.
Seno's greatest contribution was ensuring a smooth transition of power, even transferring the entire Sujano family's properties.
One must say, without a windfall, there's no prosperity.
Just those legitimate, laundered funds were sufficient for Ji Jue to indulge in upgrades and extravagance for quite a while, as for the illicit, they all served to expand Ji Jue's resource pool.
Feeling warm inside, warm on the outside, and warm in the hands.
Ah, rubbing a dog head with a smile.
In Seno's family head office, Ji Jue sat in Seno's chair, rubbing Seno's head, listening to Seno's report, covering all transactable liquid assets, real estate, investments, enterprises of the Federation and Empire, various stocks, even antiques, and precious metals…
Ji Jue cross-referenced the data summaries and estimates on the server, listening to one item after another, nodding slowly, but until Seno finished speaking, he had not ceased the motion of rubbing the dog head.
He simply smiled, slowly asking:
"And what else?"
"..."
Seno's body stiffened, cold sweat seeped from his forehead, and he stammered: "Besides that, there are some… old things from before… but, just small things, private properties of the clan members, it's not possible to forcefully..."
The words abruptly cut off.
Because of a soft sigh from Ji Jue.
He fell deathly silent, kneeling on the ground, not daring to speak.
Feeling that cold hand resting intermittently on his skull, as if it were grasping his soul.
"Clan Leader Seno, you need to understand something—"
Ji Jue slowly said: "There have only ever been two choices: to die standing or live kneeling. If you choose to stand, you must stand straight; if you choose to kneel, kneel thoroughly; otherwise, you can only kneel and wait for death, understand?"
"If you want to be a dog, then do it thoroughly."
Ji Jue lowered his head, offering his first and last reminder:
"—What I give you is what you can have!"
"Yes!"
Seno kowtowed, responding without hesitation.
Cold sweat continuously seeped from his forehead and back, he breathed in terror.
"Good to understand."
After cleaning his hand, Ji Jue picked up his tea cup: "Go and ask again, see if there's anything missed, then reorganize your information and report back.
I have limited time, please don't waste it."
"Yes, yes."
Seno staggered up, swallowed two pills, forcibly rousing his spirit, and hurried out.
Through the open door, Lou Yanyue sauntered in.
"Hey, you're really enjoying it." Lou Yanyue seated herself opposite him, feet propped right onto the desk, rocking leisurely: "This venture is quite good eh."
"Do you want it? I can give it to you." Ji Jue said indifferently.
"Forget it."
Lou Yanyue waved her hand: "You got it through your skills, why would I take it? I couldn't bear the humiliation."
"Have some tea, at least the tea leaves are nice."
Ji Jue handed over a tea cup, smiling as he asked: "Hurrying over like this… so on the Federation's side, is there a result?"
This meeting just ended here.
The meeting on the other side also concluded.
