Chapter 102: The Path of the Knight (Two-in-One Mega - )_1
Yan Xing finished speaking and then grabbed another candy to eat.
He had Donna hand out candies at the start, and it wasn’t just to display his rudeness. His true purpose was actually... to distinguish friend from foe.
This was the first time he had attended a meeting of this level. But events like this were all too common on the internet. Wasn’t it just about manipulating public opinion, coercing the will of the people, and undertaking unspeakable acts?
Looking at the room packed full of influential figures, all wearing the curious expressions of a gawking crowd.
Did Priest Temple’s death require their presence? Did Grand Priest Lancelot summon them here to assist with the investigation?
No! They represented the will of Nuta City’s people, a blade to be used against Count Theodore. To trap the old Earl in this case, to prevent Nuta City from functioning normally.
The front lines had a war to fight. How much energy could the old fox possibly have left? He was over seventy years old; if anything went amiss... Nuta City would descend into utter chaos!
Therefore, the key to resolving this crisis wasn’t to find the assassin who killed Priest Temple. Here lay the real battlefield.
Candies were passed around, and even the City Lord ate one! So, what did it imply if you didn’t eat one?
In the struggle for public opinion, one didn’t fear attacks from political enemies as much as the agitation from seemingly neutral, rational bystanders. Now, a single candy had clearly defined the stances at this table. The influential figures in this room were no fools; even the uninformed onlookers could somewhat discern what was happening.
