One person: Started at Wudang, got hit on the head by Lu Zu's sword.

They are incomparable in terms of either their international standing or the strength of their respective superhuman groups.

Not to mention that the Fish Dragon Society is now defunct in name only, and the newly established "Ministry of Self-Defense of Extraordinary People" is the one that truly has the power.

Old Zhao was no ordinary man either. He grabbed the documents in front of him and threw them, which landed squarely on the face of the person in charge of Behemoth.

"Take responsibility my ass!"

Zhao Fangxu immediately rolled up his sleeves.

Trying to play dirty with me? Do you think I've never been on a battlefield?

Although Zhao Fangxu was old and frail, he still had the right to look down on this group of guys who didn't even have much cultivation.

“Um… Chairman Zhao.”

Erzhuang, who was floating to the side, wiped his sweat.

"Is this the humility you speak of for the Inhumans?"

"Anyway, I've already been humble enough..."

Zhao Fangxu shrugged, looking at the group of guys opposite him who dared not speak out, and felt a little eager to grab the chair in his hand.

If anyone said another word, he would grab a chair and smash it at them.

"Alright! Zhao Fangxu, Nadutong Company must give us an explanation for this matter."

The key figures in the Behemoth Foundation suppressed the commotion in the meeting room.

He spoke with a serious expression.

"This matter was caused by the superhumans in your country, and your All-Tong Company must give us an explanation."

“That’s right! Zhao, although we are friends, the island nation has suffered so much damage, you must show sufficient respect.”

"Our association also believes this."

"That's right! They must give us an explanation."

Behemoth's men took the lead, and several factions supporting Behemoth echoed their sentiments.

This matter is too big to be resolved by interests and factions; it is a "unity" achieved by many forces under fear and oppression.

This is something that cannot be described by a humanoid nuclear bomb.

Even the most powerful nuclear bombs are only most destructive in the central area. Even if you drop several, they will only plow the earth once. There are even island nations that survived two nuclear bombs!

But that strange man from the East used sunlight to create a sword, directly splitting the entire island nation in two. The sheer amount of energy involved exceeded the limit of a hydrogen bomb.

This is something that has caused global unrest; otherwise, this group of extraordinary individuals wouldn't have been able to gather so quickly and express their stance on behalf of their respective countries.

At this moment, their joint attack was undoubtedly intended to force Zhao Fangxu to make a statement.

Or to put it another way: concession!

Zhao Fangxu sat down with regret.

I was originally planning to show off my skills on the spot!

As Zhao Fangxu surveyed the entire room, all who saw his gaze fell silent.

Then, Zhao Fangxu's steady voice rang out.

"so what?"

The entire room fell silent, then erupted in a sudden uproar.

"Zhao Fangxu, what do you mean by this?"

"Don't you feel any remorse for the innocent people of this island nation who have died? Are you planning to shirk your responsibility?"

"Is NaDuTong Company going to cover for them?"

"Zhao, was the attack on the island nation orchestrated by All-Tong? Are you planning to cover it up?"

"Zhao Fangxu, are you trying to disrupt the order of the international community of supernatural beings?"

Inside the meeting hall, the crowd was filled with indignation.

Zhao Fangxu nodded, seemingly oblivious to the commotion and attack from the crowd in the hall.

He spoke again, his voice carrying an air of authority without anger.

"so what?"

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the person in charge of Behemoth. He had been dealing with Zhao Fangxu for so long, but he never expected that Zhao Fangxu would now be so shameless as to act like a rogue.

Unfortunately, Zhao Fangxu is still too inexperienced; scheming and playing politics are his forte.

Just as no one can fight against the entire world, in this situation no single superhuman force can fight against all superhuman groups.

"I propose that all of us observe a minute's silence now to mourn the terrorist attack that has struck our island nation."

"Let us mourn for the innocent lives lost and the unexpected disaster that destroyed our island nation."

As he spoke, the head of Behemoth was the first to stand up.

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Chapter 211: I haven't told you you can sit down yet.

Silence spread like a tide.

Then, one by one, the figures slowly stood up.

The Behemoth representative's words were undoubtedly pushing Nadutong Company to the opposite side of everyone, trying to pressure Zhao Fangxu into backing down.

Judging from the scene, the effect was very significant.

One by one, figures stood up: the Emerald Society, Flamel Academy, the Hall of Extraordinary Beings, the Children of the Earth...

The various parties involved were either originally at odds with NaDuTong Company, or were staunch supporters of NaDuTong Company, or were friendly forces...

At this moment, they are all standing on the opposite side of Nadutong Company.

International groups of people with unusual traits are like nations; there is no friendship, no tender affection, and no gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, or humility.

All that remains is the feeling of being pushed down by everyone when the wall is falling and the isolation of facing the powerful and the threats.

Zhao Fangxu continued.

"so what?"

Zhao Fangxu looked at almost all the supernatural forces that had stood up and were now on the opposite side of Na Du Tong Company.

I only asked the third question: So what?

At this moment, many leaders of the supernatural beings realized that Zhao Fangxu's calm demeanor was not feigned ignorance, but rather a sense of entitlement.

A hypothesis then began to spread.

The people present looked at each other in bewilderment. Did Nadutong Company really intend to stand against all the groups of supernatural beings?

Don't you want your unity, cooperation, and harmonious progress?

Don't forget that you've also invested in so many industries abroad and cultivated so many allies?

Is NaDuTong really...?

Suddenly, everyone present fell silent.

They suddenly realized that they seemed to have no means to restrict NaToTong, just as the country behind them did not have the courage to do so.

There has never been any solidarity or mutual assistance in the world, nor has there ever been any friendship between groups of people from different backgrounds.

All that remains is intrigue and compromise.

After all, no one or any force can challenge the order of the entire international community of supernatural beings. Since they cannot challenge or rewrite the order, they can only compromise.

But now, both Nadutong Company and Lu Xuan, who is backed by Nadutong Company, seem to have the confidence to overturn the table.

Even on a global scale, Nadutong Company is a massive economic entity and a leading group of extraordinary individuals, with enough territory to nurture countless extraordinary people.

And the mystery behind Nadutong Company...

Whether it was Lu Xuan's sudden appearance on the island nation's mainland or the terrifying destructive power of his sword cleaving the island nation in two, it all demonstrated his ability to annihilate any "collective" or "individual".

Now, many forces are realizing that when Nadotong Company is unwilling to talk to them, they seem to have no right to even express their opinions.

The thoughts that had been left unsaid earlier surfaced in everyone's minds.

International groups of people with unusual traits are like nations; there is no friendship, no tender affection, and no gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, or humility.

All that remains is the feeling of being pushed down by everyone when the wall is falling and the isolation of facing the powerful and the threats.

The opponent is really strong!

For a moment, everyone in the room felt their legs go weak.

It's not right to sit down, and it's not right to stand up.

Zhao Fangxu's gaze swept across the entire room once more.

Wherever his gaze fell, the previous fervor of numerous forces launching verbal and written attacks was gone.

Or rather, there is no such thing as universal opinion in this world.

Yes, but it's a new world where everyone is gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and modest under absolute power.

A new world under the new order established by the All-in-One Company.

Looking at the numerous forces before him who seemed guilty, Zhao Fangxu spoke softly and slowly.

"We have been too lenient in our attitude all along, and we have thought too highly of you."

"What I want to say is that none of you here have the right to say that the All-Tong Company should make any statement for the sake of order in the world of supernatural beings."

"To put it more bluntly, if Nadutong Company had allowed Lu Xuan to act freely, the current situation in the world of supernatural beings would not be what it is today."

This is what Zhao Fangxu truly thinks.

As time went by, Zhao Fangxu was always grateful that he had saved face for himself when Lu Xuan came to Beijing.

Even now, Zhao Fangxu is starting to doubt himself.

Where did I get the guts to try and restrain Lu Xuan back then?
