After speaking to Chiying, Kasa, holding his shoulder, looked at the leaders of the Yunshang Society and the Fire Ant Gang and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, you two, it seems I can't help you."
"I'm going back, you guys..."
Kasa looked back at Tianyang, then continued to say to Nan Pei and the others, "You guys take care of yourself."
After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at the crowd, but took big strides and walked away into the distance of the desert.
Looking at the footprints left by Kasa on the yellow sand, the woman in the dark green dress and the man with the cockscomb haircut exchanged glances. The leader of the Yunshang Society had a bitter look on his face. He originally thought that Kasa could give Tianyang a "surprise" in three days, and the strong man they had invited would become the most important bargaining chip in that meeting.
Unexpectedly, before the meeting even started, Tianyang was eliminated with this bargaining chip.
In fact, the young speaker didn't do it himself!
After Kasa left, Tianyang got into the car, then looked at Nan Pei and the others and said calmly, "I'll wait for you in three days. See you there."
With a snap, Adolf closed the door for him, then got in from the other door. The armored vehicle turned around, raising a cloud of yellow sand, and drove towards the scavenger city.
Grains of sand gently fell on his face. Nan Pei closed his eyes and said helplessly, "It seems that the unification of the Waste Collection City is no longer something you and I can control."
Ah Huo shook his head and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. Anyway, I don't want to get out of Scavenger City. I don't have the energy to start over. I can only wait and see what the new speaker proposes."
"And you?"
Nan Pei didn't answer. He got into the car with a sullen face and drove away.
For the next three days, Tianyang stayed in his manor villa, spending a certain amount of time every day to feel his own aura. Although he still could not awaken the aura, the feeling was getting stronger and stronger. Perhaps at some point in the future, when the opportunity came, he would suddenly awaken.
Soon, the day came to meet Megan and others.
At one o'clock in the afternoon of that day, Tianyang changed into a formal suit. This suit was custom-made for him by the parliament. It was very fitting and finely made. There was a pattern of a hand holding lightning on the sleeve, which was the symbol of the Speaker of the Thunder Parliament.
Ordinary members of parliament have a simple lightning symbol, and only the Speaker has a "holding thunder" pattern.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Tianyang slightly adjusted some details of his clothes. Seeing that it was almost time, he took Chiying and left the manor.
Ten minutes before the agreed time, Tianyang walked into the hall prepared for today's meeting, where there was a round table with four seats.
However, there was another gallery below. At this time, several members of parliament, including Adolf, Gong Zhibin, and Ding Yiming, had already arrived.
When they saw Tianyang and Chiying coming in, they quickly stood up and greeted them in unison.
"Good afternoon, Speaker Tianyang."
Tianyang nodded gently to them: "Good afternoon."
I followed him to the chair facing the door and sat down. Chiying, wearing a red cloak, stood silently behind me. His tall figure exuded an invisible sense of oppression.
At two o'clock, the door was pushed open. Tianyang looked up and saw the leader of the "Blue Fortress", Megan Suses, walking in with a laugh. Behind him were the Corps Commander Cui Yao and the head of the intelligence team, Lao Zheng.
Without Megan's reminder, the two of them consciously walked towards the gallery, and Adolf and others showed their hospitality by standing up to greet them.
"Good afternoon, Speaker Tianyang." Megan strode towards Tianyang and took the initiative to extend her arm to shake hands with him.
It wasn't until Megan came about three steps away that Tianyang stood up and shook hands with Megan: "Good afternoon, Mr. Megan."
"Please take a seat."
Megan nodded, and without hesitation, she sat down on Tianyang's right side.
After the personnel from the 'Blue Fortress' arrived, the leader of the Fire Ant Gang, Ah Huo, also came in with two confidants. After the man with the cockscomb haircut walked into the hall, his subordinates took off the long robe he was wearing for him.
He glanced at Tianyang, a smile appeared on his face, and he strode over: "Good afternoon, Speaker Tianyang."
Tian Yang was not so 'enthusiastic' towards him. He still sat on the chair and just nodded slightly: "Sit wherever you want."
Megan of the 'Blue Fortress' actively sought a meeting after Tianyang took over the position of Speaker. On the other hand, the two leaders of the 'Fire Ant Gang' and the 'Yunshang Society' secretly made a lot of small moves, and even cooperated with the Pellikin family to fight against him.
Even if they attend this afternoon meeting now, they will naturally be more distant than Megan in Tianyang's heart.
Tianyang knew that the people in the Scavenger City were unruly and it was useless to be polite when dealing with them.
You want to show your strength. If he is arrogant and conceited, you have to be more arrogant than him, otherwise people will look down on you.
Therefore, Tianyang stood up and shook hands with Megan, and put on airs with Ah Huo and Nan Pei who followed him into the hall, so that they would know that it was not easy to win his goodwill.
When the members of the 'Yunshang Club' had arrived, the door was closed, and Nan Pei sat opposite Tianyang, with Megan and Ah Huo on his right and left. At this point, the 'guests' invited by Tianyang had arrived.
He glanced at the crowd and said calmly, "Everyone is here, so let's get started."
"You have all been in Waste Collection City longer than I have, so you must all know that before today, Waste Collection City has always been a mess. The Thunder Council, the Blue Fortress, the Fire Ant Gang, the Yunshang Society, and the Blood City that has attached itself to me are known as the Five Major Organizations."
"Under these five major organizations, there are various gangs and organizations. This situation was not a problem in the past because no one looked down on the Waste Pickering City. You can just do your own thing."
Tian Yang paused, then said: "But, it's not possible now."
"The Clave Gate has been reopened. The exploration of the reverse world will bring a lot of opportunities to the Wasteland City, but it will also bring various disasters."
"If we remain in a state of disunity, then the final result will be that everyone here, including our Thunder Council, will be defeated one by one by the surrounding enemies."
"Therefore, I have called you all here to announce something to you."
"We in Scavenger City must say goodbye to our previous state and unite. Only by twisting our fingers into a fist can we fight against those who want to attack us."
"It is time for the city of scavengers to be unified! As the city lord, I will lead you all and this city to regain its former glory!"
The hall fell into a quiet atmosphere.
Although when I came here, the people here were basically
Everyone was mentally prepared and knew what Tianyang wanted to say.
But when Tian Yang said "announce something" instead of "discuss something", they still felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, feeling the invisible sense of oppression and an unusual sense of dominance that Tian Yang brought to them.
Megan clenched her fist and coughed lightly, saying, "Speaker Tianyang, the unification of the Waste City is naturally a good thing. However, can you tell us what plans you have?"
"What can we do for you?"
Tian Yang nodded slightly and said, "Like I said before, the reopening of the Krav Gate will bring countless opportunities to this city. But if we don't have enough strength to protect the Krav Gate, then we will be swallowed up and cannibalized."
"Only when we unite internally and pool our strength can we form a cohesive force and fight against external threats and future challenges."
"I have an agreement with the Lord of War Castle, Huo Hanshan, that he will fully support us, but this is obviously not enough. Besides, our city naturally has to be protected by us."
"When we are united, I hope Mr. Megan and the Blue Fortress can take back all the mercenary groups. I hope you can maintain order in the Scavenger City."
"Because next, a large number of outsiders will pour in here. Yes, we will open up the exploration rights of the Reverse Realm to outsiders."
Ah Huo frowned immediately: "Why do you do this?"
"the reason is simple."
Tian Yang looked at him and said, "Only by ourselves, we cannot explore most of the areas of the Reverse Realm in a short period of time. In other words, we cannot quickly discover the valuable things in the Reverse Realm and recycle and convert them into cash."
"In addition, if we continue to close off the outside of Scavenger City, the external pressure will become greater and greater, and they will concentrate their attacks on us."
"Believe me, there will be many people who want to attack our Clave Gate next time."
"So, we open up the exploration rights of the Reverse Realm to the outside world, attracting a large number of gold diggers and exploration teams to enter. This will help us quickly open up the situation in the Reverse Realm and use them to discover valuable things in the Reverse Realm."
"There are only two things we need to do. First, we need to collect taxes from them. They need to pay us a certain fee to enter the Clave Gate. Second, we need to reclaim their spoils and help them cash them out as quickly as possible. This will also allow us to obtain a large amount of resources in the Reverse Realm without spending too much effort."
"But to achieve this goal, there is a prerequisite. We must quickly clear the area behind the Clave Gate, establish a safe zone, build a forward base and several supply points, and provide a certain level of protection and medical support."
"When the time comes, the gold diggers and exploration teams will have to pay a certain fee while enjoying our services. This will also be an important source of income for us in the future. I plan to hand this over to Councillor Gong Zhibin, who is quite good at this and I believe he can come up with a relatively complete and feasible plan."
"As for sweeping the area behind the gate, our Thunder Council is already doing it, but setting up forward bases and supply points requires a lot of manpower, so I plan to absorb refugees from nearby settlements and provide them with food and job opportunities."
"The entry of gold diggers, exploration teams, and refugees will definitely have an impact on the city, so we must establish a new order and let Mr. Megan's 'Blue Fortress' ensure that this order is implemented."
