"Archbishop, we haven't been in touch for a long time."
The old man on the other end of the phone had a cold voice, without any joy in his voice. It didn't sound like the two of them hadn't been in touch for a long time and were trying to reconnect with each other, but more like he was calling for revenge.
However, Quentin had already prepared himself mentally, and was not panicked at all. He even looked up at the noisy meeting room, and said to the old man on the other end of the phone without even moving his butt: "How dare I disturb you, old man. Our former queen is a nobody in the Sixth Continent, so there is no need for a nobody like me to humiliate myself by contacting you."
The Tenth Elder heard the sarcasm in his tone: "The Queen's death has nothing to do with us. I didn't know about this before, and you are looking for the wrong person."
"I know." Quentin said nonchalantly, "I have never blamed the Sixth Continent for the death of the previous queen. It is true that Nie Qingru was once the queen of the hidden family, but she had passed the impeachment procedure of the Privy Council before her death. To a certain extent, she only represented the Nie family."
"This is the personal grudge between the Nie family and Qiao Nian. It can even be said to be an internal family fight between them. Our hidden family doesn't care about the internal family fights. I can only say that I am very sorry for the death of the former queen~"
This was one of the conditions Ye Wangchuan put forward for cooperating with them. The hidden family could no longer use Nie Qingru's death to entangle with Qiao Nian.
Quentin took this condition back and had a two-day argument with a bunch of old guys in the Privy Council. Faced with huge interests, those old guys chose to bow their heads.
From today on, the matter of Qiao Nian killing Nie Qingru in F Continent is over.
At least the story has been turned over in their secluded family.
If the Nie family has the ability to make Qiao Nian responsible, that is the Nie family's business. In short, no other hidden family will get involved.
Otherwise it would be contrary to the decision made by the Privy Council.
According to the rules of the Hidden Family, whoever violates the decision made by the Privy Council will be expelled from the Hidden Family and will no longer enjoy the collective benefits brought by the Hidden Family. "Haha, the Archbishop is very generous, but I don't know what made the Archbishop suddenly make such a decision." The Tenth Elder said with a hint of meaning.
Quentin was not a pushover and did not respond at all: "The Tenth Elder specifically called me on this phone, not because you care about the death of the former queen of our hidden family, right?"
"After all, our former queen has been dead for more than half a year!"
How could the ten elders not hear the other party's aggressiveness? He stopped beating around the bush and asked, "Who provided you with these supplies?"
Quentin remained unmoved: "Tenth Elder, the question you asked is beyond the scope."
The tenth elder's tone became increasingly serious: "You are touching the cake of the Sixth Continent!" No one dared to touch the cake of the Sixth Continent.
Quentin replied calmly: "Ten Elders, the Sixth Continent has been sitting in that position for too long, and may have forgotten that the position was not originally reserved for you."
"That position is just like the current business. People don't care who sits on it, nor do they care who they have to do business with."
"Everyone is looking at whose products are better and whose prices are cheaper."
"The Hidden World Family has been cooperating with the Sixth Continent before, but the Sixth Continent did not put us on an equal footing. Now someone is willing to offer us better conditions for cooperation and respect our status. So! Ten Elders, tell me, what reason do I have to refuse him and choose to continue cooperating with the Sixth Continent?" (End of this chapter)
