Chapter 501: Emergency (Part 4)

"Mr. Lin, weren’t you afraid that your actions might have led to total annihilation?" the person in charge of recording hesitated for a moment, looking at Mr. Lin with apparent disdain for lying.

Mr. Lin glanced at him indifferently, "Do you underestimate humanity’s top-tier spiritual cultivators, or do you overestimate the mutated creatures?"

"Those two questions mean the same thing."

The person recording fell silent immediately, realizing that anything he said would be wrong, so he chose to remain quiet.

"Since the authorities sent you to question me, just relay my words. If my suspicions are correct, then what should we do next? Right now, we should be seeking confirmation, not engaging in political scheming."

Mr. Lin’s outburst made everyone even more reluctant to speak, and upon returning, they relayed his message accurately.

"Klaus Lin is just making excuses for his mistakes. If what he says is true, then why would that mutated creature command its subordinates to attack human cities? How many humans have died at the hands of mutated creatures? Should we just ignore our past grievances just because of his suspicions? We can’t avenge our fallen comrades and instead must carefully protect this creature to keep it alive? What a joke!" Regis Yoder, the top-tier spiritual cultivator from the Yoder family, angrily retorted.

The messenger wanted to say that Mr. Lin hadn’t suggested such a thing, but he didn’t want to be targeted by the petty-minded Yoder family, so he kept silent.

"Regis Yoder, don’t stir up trouble. Mr. Lin would never suggest overlooking our grievances. He simply wants us to investigate his suspicions. Nothing has been confirmed yet, and any possibility still remains. Perhaps he is wrong, but perhaps he is right."

Ever since their joint effort against the Yoder family, the Zhao family had been closely allied with the Lin family.

Regis Yoder turned his head to Canadane Zhao, recalling the hefty fine imposed on the Yoder family due to the Zhao family’s actions.

He sneered and mocked, "Canadane Zhao, your family is indeed generous. Marcus Zhao recently died at the hands of mutated creatures, yet here you are, speaking in favor of them. Marcus Zhao must be turning in his grave!"

With a loud bang, Canadane Zhao shattered the table in front of him with a single palm strike, "You Yoder family, you know very well how Marcus died. If it weren’t for the president’s intervention, my Zhao family would have demanded a few of your family spiritual cultivators to accompany him in death!"

With that, he glared at President Muraga, who had remained silent, "With the Yoder family’s constant meddling, there’s no point in continuing this meeting. Nothing productive will come of it."

President Muraga remained calm, "Senior Zhao, please calm down. Everyone here has their own opinions. Let’s discuss this matter rationally."

Now, it was Regis Yoder’s turn to look displeased.

The president’s seemingly benign remark implied that the Yoder family’s interference only mattered if others let it affect them.

"Regarding Mr. Lin’s suspicions, what are your thoughts?" President Muraga, despite his high position, was of the lowest seniority among them.

He belong to the same generation as the Lin family’s Head.

"I believe there’s merit to what he’s saying," Canadane Zhao spoke first, making it clear that he supported the Lin family’s decision.

Regis Yoder sneered, "I think it makes no sense. Those mutated creatures are inhuman and savages. How could they possibly sacrifice themselves for humanity?"

"I also find it unlikely," agreed a strong cultivator from the Rodriguez family, who now aligned themselves with the Yoder family.

"I, on the other hand, believe there’s a possibility," said Cecil Harvey from the military.

Regis Yoder snorted, "You have a good relationship with Klaus Lin, so of course, you’d support him. If it weren’t for his last-minute change of plan, Althadora Galdin wouldn’t be severely injured and still unconscious now."

"Do as you please. If you don’t believe it, I don’t care. I’m a lone wolf; if something major happens, I won’t be the one worrying," Cecil Harvey retorted coldly as if he was the only one concerned about the issue.

Regis Yoder’s face twitched with anger.

Seeing that Regis Yoder was at a loss for words, Cecil Harvey pressed further, "As for why the mutated creatures still attack human cities, if their homeland is truly at risk of destruction, wouldn’t they flee to the land? Are you genuinely that stupid, or are you pretending to be for personal grudges?"

"Enough, Cecil Harvey!" Regis Yoder’s face turned ashen with rage as he glared at him.

"What are you staring at?" Cecil Harvey glared back.

"Everyone, stop arguing," Alus Restor’s voice, filled with authority, cut through the noise, bringing a semblance of order back to the chaotic meeting room.

Alus Restor was the teacher of President Muraga, and his words commanded respect.

"This matter is of great importance. Klaus Lin has been fighting on the front lines to protect human cities for many years. He has more combat experience than any of us. Since he feels something is amiss, we should investigate it."

Regis Yoder and the Rodriguez family’s top-tier spiritual cultivator frowned, understanding that Alus Restor didn’t intend to pursue further blame.

"Alus Restor, are we just going to ignore the losses caused by Klaus Lin’s actions?"

Canadane Zhao laughed coldly, "What losses did you suffer? The main force in this raid was Klaus Lin and others. What did you contribute? How severe are your injuries compared to the two people that was still lying in the hospital?"

"Canadane Zhao, don’t go too far. My Yoder family owes nothing to your Zhao family," Regis Yoder retorted, his face turning red with anger.

Previously, the Yoder family was fined a huge sum of money, part of which was given to the Zhao family as compensation.

It was no small amount.

Whenever Regis Yoder saw anyone from the Zhao family, he thought about that money, which could have been used to cultivate hundreds of their descendants, and it made him furious.
