"Did the Speaker agree?" Tian Yang was a little surprised. After all, he had only been participating in the Crack War for two or three days. He didn't expect that the Speaker would agree to Lin Qianfan's resignation so quickly.
Logically speaking, there is no reason for the Speaker to release a capable congressman like Lin Qianfan so quickly. This incident itself seems to have sent a certain signal.
Adolf nodded and said, "Lin Qianfan has now left the Thunder Council. This way, he has a reason to challenge you. If I'm not mistaken, he should come to you in the next day or two."
As soon as he finished speaking, the housekeeper Huaying hurried into the living room, saw Tianyang, and stepped forward quickly: "Sir, this is Councillor Lin Qianfan. No, it's a challenge from Mr. Lin."
Adolf shrugged his shoulders and said, "See, I told you that this old guy would take action. Councillor Tianyang, you don't have to accept his challenge. Besides, Lin Qianfan is shameless. He is already quite old, but he still challenges a young man. He has no shame at all."
Tian Yang smiled, opened the post, read the content and said, "He asked me to fight him in the Ash Town in the Reverse Realm in two days."
Adolf took the post and looked at it, then said, "How about I help you reject it? You can find any excuse to get rid of him, and you don't have to worry about anything. Everyone knows that Lin Qianfan has been promoted to level 7. Now that he has come back to challenge you, he must have been promoted successfully."
"You shameless fellow, if you wanted to challenge me, why didn't you send me the challenge before you were promoted? It's obvious that you're afraid of losing face if you beat you. Now that you've secured victory, you come and send me this shameless challenge."
Tian Yang shook his head and said, "I have already promised him before. I don't have the habit of going back on my word. I will go to Ash Town to meet him in two days."
Adolf was stunned for a moment: "You really plan to go, what's the point of fighting with a rank 7. I'm not saying anything bad about you, Councillor Tianyang, but there's really no need to go."
"It doesn't matter. I lost, so I lost. It's not a bad thing for me to see the power of a rank 7."
Tianyang looked at the time and said, "It's almost time for dinner. Do you want to stay and have dinner with us?"
He originally thought that Adolf would leave politely, but this guy said shamelessly: "Okay, I'm hungry too, can you arrange for Xing Luo to sit with me later?"
Tian Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This guy was still thinking about this matter. He deliberately frowned and said, "No, Xing Luo is mine."
Adolf coughed several times and shook his head, "Member Tianyang, you are too overbearing. Don't you already have Miss Moonlight? Now you don't even let Miss Xingluo go. Although you are young, listen to me. You have to be careful with this kind of thing."
Tianyang ignored him and asked Huaying to prepare dinner.
Over the next two days, the news of Lin Qianfan's challenge to Tianyang spread quietly in the Wasteland City. Many people wanted to watch the fight, but unfortunately, they didn't know where Lin Qianfan and Tianyang would fight.
In the past two days, there have been many bets, most of which are betting on Lin Qianfan to win. After all, Lin Qianfan is considered a veteran strongman in the waste collection city. Although he has rarely made a move in recent years, it was reported not long ago that he was striving for level 7.
The upstart who now openly challenges the Thunder Council undoubtedly has the confidence of being undefeated. In other words, he may already be a heavenly-level powerhouse.
But some people are optimistic about Tianyang, after all, Tianyang is younger and has more potential. After Lin Qianfan came back, he did not announce his successful promotion, nor did he publicly show his strength, so it is still unknown whether he has reached level 7.
Of course, this number of people is pitifully small, even if Tianyang's compensation
The odds are seven or eight times that of Lin Qianfan, but no more than ten people bet on him.
Zhong Tianyang did not show up in the past two days. He has been staying in the manor villa without training. Every day he either spends time thinking about how to increase the depth of destruction or playing with Xitong. He does not feel the tension before the battle at all.
Finally, the day of the final battle between the two arrived.
On that day, many people saw Lin Qianfan and Tianyang entering the Kraf Gate together, and only then did they realize that the place where they had agreed to fight was in the Reverse Realm.
Another day passed like this, and they both returned, but it was still unclear who had won or lost.
But after coming back, Tianyang returned to the manor villa, and Lin Qianfan went to the headquarters building of the Thunder Council.
In the Speaker's office, Lei Fu, who looked old, stood in front of a huge fish tank and threw some raw meat into it. Immediately, there was a surge in the fish tank, and several extremely aggressive piranhas divided up the raw meat cleanly.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Lei Fu said lightly: "Come in."
The door opened and Lin Qianfan walked in.
The Speaker glanced at him and said with a chuckle, "Are you back?"
Lin Qianfan smiled and nodded: "I'm back."
Lei Fu sat casually on the sofa. He was wearing loose clothes and trousers, which was a common outfit in the Waste Picking City. The chairman, who looked like an old man, had obvious traces of age and said calmly, "Did you find the answer you wanted?"
Lin Qianfan nodded and shook his head again: "I can only say that I have some feelings, but it takes time to deepen and summarize."
"Really? But it seems that you did gain something from your battle with Councillor Tianyang."
"how is he?"
Lin Qianfan thought for a few seconds, then said, "Very strong. He got a broken blade from nowhere, but the weapon is incredibly powerful. It can release super-high temperature flames when it is waved casually."
"Unless I am willing to be beaten first, it will be difficult for me to find an opportunity to approach Councillor Tianyang under that kind of fire."
"And I think Senator Tianyang has not done his best. Speaker, he may already be at level 7."
Lei Fu didn't seem surprised and smiled slightly: "Really? That's right, if I wasn't rank 7, it wouldn't be that easy for me to face you, even if I had the most powerful weapons."
"Time flies by so fast. Decades have passed in the blink of an eye."
Lei Fu looked at the ceiling and said, "When I first arrived in Waste Collection City, I created the Thunder Mercenary Group. I worked my way up little by little and developed the mercenary group into the current parliament. I became one of the rulers of Waste Collection City."
"You should also know that I have some unpleasant past with the War Church. Over the years, I have been looking for an opportunity to settle things with the church, but the development of the parliament has kept me busy. Or rather, I have been giving myself excuses to postpone settling things with the church."
Lei Fu laughed: "Now, I feel like I have no more excuses."
Lin Qianfan glanced at the old man and said, "Chairman, could it be that you..."
Lei Fu nodded solemnly: "It's time."
"If Councillor Tianyang is already at rank 7, then I only have two choices: either retire or kill him."
"There is only one council, and it can't accommodate two Level 7s. If it were in the past, I might have chosen to kill him. At that time, I still liked adventures and was not afraid of taking risks."
"But now that I'm old, I'm worried that Councillor Tianyang will kill me, and then I won't have the chance to settle an old score with the church."
"I have to thank you too. If you hadn't challenged Councillor Tianyang and hadn't been sure of his strength, I would have been hesitant about what to do and might even have made the wrong choice."
Lin Qianfan smiled and said, "I would like to thank the Speaker for letting me leave the parliament, so that I can legitimately challenge Councillor Tianyang. After failing to get promoted, I was confused for a while, but now, I have found my direction."
"I still have a chance to reach Rank 7. I confirmed this during my fight with Councillor Tianyang."
"I still have the will to fight, and I will not stop here. So today, in addition to reporting the results to the Speaker, I also came to say goodbye."
"I'm going to look for opportunities for promotion and regain the feeling of fighting. Over the years, I've become too accustomed to relying on the parliament and power to solve problems."
"It's time for me to return to the wilderness and learn how to fight alone again."
Lei Fu laughed: "Then I wish you a quick promotion. I will observe for a while. When I think Councillor Tianyang is ready, I can leave the Waste Collection City. Go and deal with some things before I get too old and don't want to move."
Lin Qianfan stood up and said sincerely: "After this farewell, we may not have the chance to meet again in the future. Speaker, please take care of yourself."
Lei Fu nodded: "Then I won't see you off."
Lin Qianfan looked at the old man again and left.
Manor house.
As soon as Tianyang returned to the villa, he was surrounded by Adolf and Reading and others.
"Senator Tianyang, how is it? Who of you won?" Adolf looked anxious. He had bet on Tianyang, and he bet a lot.
But Tianyang and Lin Qianfan came back together, making it impossible to guess who will win or lose.
Now that Tianyang is back, Adolf naturally wants to know the answer.
The same was true for the others. Tian Yang shook his head slightly: "Lin Qianfan failed to be promoted. He admitted this before the battle, so that I would have no scruples and could fight him fairly."
"He failed to get promoted?" Adolf asked curiously, "He failed to get promoted, why would he challenge you?"
"If he is promoted successfully, he will not challenge me." Tianyang said something that Adolf did not understand.
Adolf shook his head and asked, "What's the result?"
"Lin Qianfan couldn't get close to me, but I didn't defeat him either. During the fight, he seemed to have found answers to some questions. Then, before the winner was decided, he proposed a ceasefire, and I agreed."
Tianyang patted his shoulder gently, then ignored him and walked straight to the hall, asking the housekeeper Huaying, "Is there nothing going on these two days?"
"No."
Huaying shook her head.
Tianyang went back to his room first. Adolf looked at Redding and the others in confusion: "So who wins?"
A few people from Reading gave him a helpless look.
Back in the bedroom, Tianyang heard a prompt from a communicator in the drawer. He opened the drawer and saw that among several communicators, the one used to contact the Hunger Ball had received a text message.
Tianyang opened it and saw a text message on the screen: Due to the fortress war, the secret party has been suspended recently. Please be notified.
