Nie Qingru frowned: "We can't just watch them get the chip components and rare earths. Stopping the ship is our only option now..."
"I don't agree to intercept the ship. If you decide to intercept the ship, our church will not participate in this operation." Quentin still had the same attitude.
Nie Qingru's eyebrows were furious, and he said gloomily: "What is the attitude of the Archbishop? Isn't the church a member of the hidden family?"
Quentin straightened his robes and looked at her calmly: "Of course the church is a member of the hidden family."
"But Queen, don't forget that the hidden families gather together for the common good."
"I don't see any worthwhile benefit behind your proposal to stop the ships of the two weapons bosses in Continent F. As the head of the church, I have the obligation to refuse cooperation."
Facing his pressure step by step, Nie Qingru couldn't suppress her anger. She slammed her hand on the table with a cold look on her face, "I think you don't want to be an enemy of Qiao Nian!"
Quentin glanced at her calmly and said, "The Queen, please be careful with your words."
Nie Qingru was angry and spoke very harshly: "Am I not telling the truth? I have heard that you and Qiao Nian have a good relationship in private, and you also know Archbishop Ye Shao who is beside her, right? I also heard that you have an illegitimate child who is stranded in the Independent Continent..."
"That's enough." Quentin listened to her calmly at first, but when he heard this, he stood up and said to the woman sitting at the top in a very impolite manner: "If the Queen called me to the Parliament Hall just to discuss my private life, then there is nothing to talk about!"
"Everyone, I'll be leaving first." He turned and left expressionlessly.
This action shocked dozens of people in the parliament hall. As Quentin strode out of the seat, the neutral people looked at each other, stood up, picked up their things and prepared to leave.
As a result, there was chaos within the Privy Council.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Mr. Xue quickly stood up and tried to stop the person from leaving.
"Archbishop, the Queen didn't mean it. She was thinking about the hidden family. Maybe there were some emotional factors in her words. You..."
"I don't mean anything else. I'm just not feeling well and can't continue to participate in the meeting. You guys can chat slowly."
Quentin walked around the hand blocking his way and left without looking back.
Following a flash of red, I pushed open the door and left the parliament hall.
The other neutrals were no longer afraid and found excuses to leave.
In a blink of an eye, one-third of the seats in the huge parliament hall were vacant, and only two-thirds were left sitting there. Even the remaining two-thirds of people were restless and wanted to leave.
No one had expected things to develop to this point!
Nie Qingru's face turned pale, and he grasped the two sides of the armrests tightly with his hands, digging his nails into the plush cushion.
She tried her best to make her expression look calmer, but her ferocious face still highlighted the storm that was brewing in her heart at the moment.
Nie Qingru never expected that the archbishop would be so disrespectful to her and walk away in public just because she mentioned her illegitimate child.
This has never happened in the Privy Council's decades of history.
Now that the incident had already happened, Nie Qingru, as one of the parties involved, could only grit her teeth and endure it coldly: "Let's continue with the previous topic."
Mr. Xue failed to stop the man, so he had to return to his place in disappointment.
Nie Qingru was still thinking about stopping the ship: "The church won't participate, what about you? You won't participate either? We must not let those things reach Beijing."
