Chapter 278 - 266 Satire 2
"Mei Ling and the Pei Family are getting very close. Phoenix and the Dong Family are standing together,"
"But aren’t you angry about how Xiuya was treated?"
"Angry? What is there to be angry about? Why did we join the Temple of the Gods in the first place? Wasn’t it to enhance ourselves and protect our family’s power? She, Lu Xiuya, up there on her high horse, always clinging to power—we’ve been waiting for this day." The woman in purple scorned. "This time, being abandoned by the higher-ups is due to her own foolishness, right? Foolishly following them into the Abyss on that mission—she has only herself to blame."
"A few more years, and I’m ready too. Once I ensure my family’s safety, I’ll be moving out early. I’m heading to the United States, where the benefits and treatment are much better."
"A group has already left. I heard Maidong and others have already boarded the plane. But there was no opposition from above. It seems they’d rather have them gone."
"Is that so?"
The two conversed quietly. Although their voices were low, everyone around them, no casual bystanders in their own right, could hear clearly. Many faces were indifferent, paying no mind; some slightly shook their heads and walked away quietly, not deeming it worthy of comment.
A middle-aged man in a white suit walked past them with a wine glass in his hand and sighed softly.
"Temple of the Gods, it’s practically falling apart. Their hearts are no longer in it."
"Really? Chen Yuandong, do you think these elites revolve around the Five Stars that established the Temple of the Gods? You’re wrong!" A young man came from the side. "Everyone who reached D-level is the elite of the elite! One in a thousand, one in ten thousand, even one in a million. Do you think such people joined the Temple of the Gods just for personal adoration?" The young man’s eyes slightly drooped at the sides, giving him a sinister look, what’s commonly known as drooping eyebrows.
"Of course, it’s for the resources. I know that. But," Chen Yuandong paused, "without the Five Stars, I fear things could get very messy."
