#1412 - Chapter 1412 The conspiracy has not yet ended
In fact, when Grand Duke Ironblood, Wang Yuan, spoke of the torment suffered by Wu Wei's adoptive mother, Su Yuanzheng's wife, Su Yuanzheng's expression was already one of extreme anger.
Many high-ranking officials in the empire knew that his wife had been abused by the empire.
Therefore, it was precisely because of his past experiences and the propositions he had put forward that Su Yuanzheng appeared unusually isolated among the human lords at this time.
However, just as these human lords were besieging Su Yuanzheng with words and cold violence,
"Hmph."
An unexpected cold snort appeared in the conference room.
"You people."
"Every single one of you."
"Are truly incredibly ugly!"
A young male lord mocked everyone present while looking at Grand Duke Ironblood.
"Especially you."
"Grand Duke Ironblood, sir."
"You are the most despicable one among this group!"
Hearing him say this, Grand Duke Ironblood's face turned red on the spot.
Enraged, he roared,
"What did you say, Zhang Mufeng!"
"Do you even have the right to speak here?"
"Or are you challenging me, challenging the family behind me?"
"Wow."
Seeing his agitation, Zhang Mufeng revealed an incredibly teasing smile.
He looked at the exasperated Grand Duke Ironblood and asked a question that made his scalp tingle.
"Grand Duke Ironblood, sir."
"Actually, I'm not targeting you or anything."
"I'm just curious about something."
"If, of course, I'm just saying if."
"If Wu Wei knew that you were targeting his adoptive father like this, what would the violent and merciless him think of you and your family?"
As soon as he said this, the entire room fell silent.
Not only did Grand Duke Ironblood fall silent, but even the chattering lords fell silent.
Every single one of them looked at Grand Duke Ironblood in the center of the conference room.
The gazes of many of them had already turned to "pity."
Yes, ah.
If Wu Wei knew what Grand Duke Ironblood had done, as expected, he would tear off Grand Duke Ironblood's skin, wouldn't he?
In the literal sense.
After all, Wu Wei's methods, even in the dark Human Empire, were among the most cruel.
Thinking of this, the alliance elder who had spoken first couldn't help but tremble.
——————————————
"I don't know what you're talking about."
But just when the entire room was still silent, Su Yuanzheng suddenly spoke.
"But I must say it again."
"I am a loyalist of the empire, and so is my daughter."
"The two of us will do everything we can for the survival of the Human Empire!"
"This has nothing to do with my adopted son, Wu Wei."
"Bingo!"
The moment Su Yuanzheng said this, the lord named Zhang Mufeng immediately snapped his fingers.
"That's right!"
"This is the sentence I've been waiting for!"
After saying this, Zhang Mufeng immediately stood up and said to the group of human lords who were still staring at him.
"Everyone."
"I wasn't targeting Grand Duke Ironblood just now, and what I did just now wasn't to get Su Family Head off the hook."
"What I really want to say is..."
"We should unite now to fight against our common enemy—Wu Wei!"
"So I really disapprove of your behavior just now."
"On the one hand, you are trembling in fear under Wu Wei's dark terror, due to his strength."
"On the other hand, you are venting all the boredom and fear in your hearts on the innocent Su Family Head."
"Don't you think you are very despicable for doing this?"
Hearing Zhang Mufeng say this, the other lords also lowered their heads secretly.
Indeed.
What Zhang Mufeng said was very correct.
What they had just said was exactly the same as what he had said.
They were both afraid of the terror that Wu Wei was about to bring, and they wanted to find a way to vent their inner unease.
And Su Family Head, that is, Su Yuanzheng, had become their way to vent innocently.
To be honest.
Their behavior was indeed very despicable.
————————————
"Su Family Head."
"I apologize for my behavior just now."
The alliance elder who had spoken before stood up and bowed to Su Yuanzheng.
Obviously, he was really scared.
After all, regardless of whether Su Yuanzheng was truly loyal to the Human Empire.
Just to say that once Wu Wei attacked, if he knew about his siege of Su Yuanzheng, then what awaited him would be complete destruction.
So he didn't hesitate to apologize.
In the face of life and death, face has never been an important thing.
On the other side, Grand Duke Ironblood glared at Zhang Mufeng.
Unlike many lords, Grand Duke Ironblood was obviously thinking more at this time.
He heard the implied meaning in Zhang Mufeng's words.
That is, with Wu Wei's imminent arrival.
These lords of theirs need to be more united than ever before.
The last thing they should do is start their own internal strife before Wu Wei, this madman, arrives.
So, thinking of this, on the one hand, he admired this young lord named Zhang Mufeng, and on the other hand, he was jealous of him.
He was jealous that he had understood this principle earlier than himself.
But no matter what.
In the face of the big picture, Zhang Mufeng's words still moved Grand Duke Ironblood.
He also stood up straight in the conference room and apologized to Su Yuanzheng.
The matter basically ended here.
But.
Someone didn't want it to end like this.
A woman stood up and said to Su Yuanzheng.
"By the way, Su Family Head."
"I think, since you have already proved your loyalty, or rather, you want to prove your loyalty."
"Then I think, should you prove yourself in certain things?"
"What things?"
Saying this, the woman revealed a hideous smile.
"Should you, when Wu Wei's attack arrives, take the lead and be the first to go out and meet him?"
This woman was Zhang Mengmeng, an elder of the Natural Alliance.
