Chapter 600 - 581: Punish Oneself with Three Cups
Ye Chen, although a guest, was still young and, by nature, informal. So, he casually took a seat by the door, and Elder Pang said nothing. The one who spoke was Chairman Liu, who glanced at Ye Chen and said with a smile, "Ye Chen, do you know why we have summoned you here?"
"I have no idea!" Ye Chen immediately shook his head, glanced over the crowd, then added, "Commander Pang invited me for drinks!"
"Ha ha, drinking is one thing!" Chairman Liu laughed and then, looking seriously at Ye Chen, said, "More importantly, we want to know the stance of the Luo Si Jue Clan. Now, with the Church Court in power, consuming the world at will, and with both the Chaikefu family and the Doomsday Family having pledged allegiance to the Church Court, the Luo Si Jue Clan’s thoughts are very significant!"
Ye Chen suddenly stood up, and said earnestly, "As long as I, Ye Chen, am alive, the Luo Si Jue Clan will never pledge allegiance to the Church Court. Furthermore, the elders of our Elder Council have sworn to resolutely follow the teachings of the Lord of the Luo Si Jue Clan, and will not pledge allegiance to any force or individual!"
"Very good!" Chairman Liu excitedly clapped his hands and said, "The Luo Si Jue Clan possessing such spirit and dignity pleases us greatly. However, the current situation is extremely dangerous, especially since the Church Court has conquered several European countries in succession. This is not a matter to be taken lightly."
"That’s right!" Elder Pang and the others nodded in agreement.
"I understand!" Ye Chen nodded and said, "So, now is the time for the Luo Si Jue Clan to rise to the occasion and resolutely resist the Church Court to the end."
"Mm!" Elder Pang nodded and said, "If there’s anything you need, just say it. Although we cannot act rashly at a national level, we can still provide you with covert assistance!"
Elder Pang’s meaning was clear; international law has specific regulations, and countries are not permitted to support or fund the development of individual armed forces. The Church Court is considered an individual armed force, using religion to influence nations, which is not against United Nations regulations. However, many countries are fiercely resistant to them. Of course, once the United States takes a stance, the United Nations might change its attitude. Regrettably, the American public is already being indoctrinated by the Church Court, so the US Government has lost the ability to vote against the Church Court.
Unbeknownst to many, the Church Court has already changed a nation, shifted the mindset of a people.
For China, this is a terrifying development. Currently, the Church Court’s influence on the Mainland is still very limited. Hence, Chairman Liu and others must start taking preventive measures, otherwise, if China reaches the same state as the United States, there will be trouble.
The United States has become mired in a quagmire; the Church Court has influenced the populace’s thoughts. The US Government, realizing the terrifying implications, wants to expel the members of the Church Court, but the public opposes, adamantly refusing to allow the US Government to intervene. This exacerbates the headache for the US Government. As a democratic nation, any action requires the support of its people.
