Hawkeye was stunned, "All, all cancel the positions?"
The people who were discussing in low voices in the conference hall also turned their heads in amazement and looked at Du Dian in shock.
Du Dian raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you hear clearly?"
Hawkeye was startled, and finally realized that he was not hallucinating, and hurriedly said: "My lord, they are all members of the Ninth District. I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."
Du Dian said indifferently: "You misunderstood, what I'm talking about is canceling all their positions, including the honorary titles they won, no matter whether they were five-star alchemists, great potion masters, or dark knight captains, all of them will be cancelled. If you want to regain your position, you have to reapply for the exam yourself.”
Hawkeye stared at him dumbfounded.
The people next to them were dumbfounded. After a while, the middle-aged man was the first to react. He slapped his calloused and generous palm on the table, angrily said, "Are you kidding? They just have something to do." In time to attend today's meeting, you are going to cancel their positions? And you still cancel their identities, do you know what you are doing? Do you want to destroy the Ninth District?!"
Du Dian narrowed his eyes slightly, flashed a cold light, turned his head to look at him, and said: "First, don't make me think that the volume of talking to me is noise. It's because you don't know my rules when you meet for the first time. I forgive you. This time, you are not an example. The second point is that the previous Elder Kribi retired and the new elder came to visit. Kribi should have greeted you and completed the handover work. In this case, they should understand Take the time out of today."
"Furthermore, even if they have something to do temporarily, they should at least send someone to apologize and record the content of the meeting by the way, but the fact is that they didn't."
The middle-aged man stared angrily, and said angrily: "I don't care what the reason is, even if they don't come, you can't revoke their positions. If you do this, it is tantamount to forcing them to betray the Ninth District. You are killing yourself! "
Du Dian shook his head slightly and smiled, beckoning to him, "Come here."
The middle-aged man was full of anger, strode up to Du Dian, and said, "What do you want to do?"
"Look at this." Du Dian raised his right hand and slowly clenched his five fingers into a fist. When the middle-aged man heard his words, his eyes subconsciously fell on his right fist, his face sank, and when he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly blurred, he was shocked in his heart, and he raised his hand to resist instinctively, but the speed was slow One shot, or even more than one shot!
Boom!
Severe pain broke out in his abdomen suddenly, his body bowed like a shrimp, his feet were knocked off the ground lightly, a mouthful of blood spewed out from his mouth, his body slowly fell down, like a light snowflake, violently The pain spread all over his body like a cramp. He clutched his stomach, but he couldn't lift any strength in his whole body, as if all the skeletons had been evacuated, and it was difficult to stand up.
Du Dian didn't know when he had put away his fist, took out the white handkerchief in his arms and gently wiped the invisible dirt on the back of his hand, then threw the handkerchief on him with an indifferent expression, "Don't think you are the leader of the dark knight, just To be unscrupulous, Kribi needs your protection, but I don’t need it, this is the first time, the second time it’s not as simple as ‘pain’.”
There was an instant silence in the conference hall.
Everyone's eyes almost bulged, watching this scene in shock.
The middle-aged man pressed the palm of the table tightly to support his body so that he did not fall down. He gritted his teeth tightly to restrain his screams, but he was already sweating profusely, and it took a while for him to get used to the pain. And relieved, he barely raised his head and looked at Du Dian in front of him, a trace of anger and panic flashed in his eyes. He knew that if Du Dian had a dagger in his hand just now, he might have fallen down at this moment.
"Everyone here is a smart person, and they know it well." Du Di'an smiled lightly and said, "Don't tell me what's wrong, you can't get away, the six of them didn't come, the purpose is nothing more than to give me the newly appointed It's a pity that what I don't like to see the most is the color of arrogance. In my territory, I have to abide by my rules. Whoever doesn't obey will be kicked out!"
Everyone's face changed slightly, and they barely maintained their composure, but their eyes were flickering with surprise.
Obviously, no one thought that this newly appointed elder was so powerful, and the power he showed just now shocked everyone. Some people even wondered if this middle-aged man was bought by Du Dian in advance and colluded with him Put on the show.
"During the period when I was in charge of the Ninth District, if anyone betrayed me and took the resources and intelligence of the Ninth District to the hands of other elders, believe me, I will definitely use all the strength of the Ninth District, Kill it!" Du Dian looked coldly, looked around at the crowd, and after saying this, he ignored it, turned around and left, and left the conference room.
Hawkeye was stunned for a few seconds, and hurriedly followed.
After Du Dian left, the cold and tense atmosphere in the conference room suddenly relaxed. At this time, everyone suddenly felt that the powerful oppression brought by the newly appointed elder was far better than that of the previous Elder Kribi.
"Tumako, are you alright?" the enchanting woman asked.
The middle-aged man holding the table took a deep breath. The pain in his abdomen had gradually reached a tolerable level. He stretched out his hand to cover it, panted, and said, "It's nothing." In the direction he was going, a trace of deep fear flashed in the depths of his eyes, just hitting the abdomen, no matter how much force, would not be able to cause such intense pain, unless a special technique was used to hit a special meridian, That would cause such a long-lasting and severe throbbing pain. This alone is enough to show that the strength of the latter completely surpasses him.
However, in the entire outer wall area, he believed that the number of people who could defeat him so easily would never exceed the number of hands.
"Unexpectedly, our new elder is still a strong fighter." An old man with a pointed beard next to him had a gloomy expression, and there was a slanting scar on his face, which added a bit of grimness to the entire gloomy face, "Deliberately Remind Tumako to look at the boxing, or easily defeat him, the purpose is nothing more than to frighten us, the power he shows in this hand is estimated to be comparable to the Archangel of the Holy See of Light!"
"When did such a monster appear in our Dark Vatican, why is there no news at all, it's really strange." Another old man frowned.
The enchanting woman stroked her cheek with a strand of hair between her fingers, and said softly, "The elders appointed by the higher authorities are parachuted here every time. Each elder has an amazing background and strength. In my opinion, our elder is not simple. He just took office. He dared to call himself the code name 'Devil King'. This was definitely not a whim, but was deliberately shown to the Three Kings. Since he has the courage to provoke the Three Kings, he probably has a background that we don't know. At least in terms of strength, we have all seen it. .”
"good."
"Under his leadership, maybe the ninth district can really become the top five districts within half a year."
"If the resources are sufficient, my alchemist may be able to go one step further and produce the Stone of Eternity!"
"Hmph, don't be too happy, he's just strong. Power is the least valuable thing in our dark church. It's better not to be too blind."
…
…
Du Dian returned to his office, followed by Hawkeye. As soon as Du Dian sat down, he immediately said: "Master Elder, do you really want to dismiss these six positions directly? Among them are two five-star alchemists. , Two knight commanders, a great knight, and a great potion master, if they directly cancel their glory and positions, it will involve too much. Some of them come from aristocratic families, and some of them have nobles behind them. In the Ninth District, the nobles behind them will also withdraw their capital from us, this loss is too great."
Du Dian snorted coldly, and said: "They use ten percent force to rebound, and I will use one hundred percent force to suppress it. Subordinates obey their superiors. This is the basis of a system, not superiors pleasing subordinates!"
Hawkeye smiled wryly, and said: "But, of course, doing this can suppress them and build up their power, but the gain is not worth the loss. We still have more gentle means..."
"Controlling violence with violence is the most effective." Du Dian waved, "Go out."
Hawkeye was dumb, smiled wryly, turned and left.
…
…
Inner wall area, bottom of the monastery.
"Interesting, did he really say that?" By the desk, the gray-haired Minister of Justice showed a faint smile on his face, and said, "Become the top five districts within half a year, hehe, it seems that he is still sensible, and he didn't say he was the first one." one."
A ghostly shadow next to him whispered: "Is he going to be too high-profile, do you need to remind him?"
"No need." Elder Criminal Minister shook his head slightly, "He is already low-key enough, otherwise with his strength, it would be easy to make District 9 the strongest in half a year. He knows we are watching him, so no He is eager for quick success, and he established himself as a king from the very beginning, opposing all camps, just to tell us that he will obey our words, do his own job well, and will not draw factions to make troubles, that's enough."
The corner of his mouth under the shadow cloak twitched slightly. As soon as he took office, he proclaimed himself king, and even dismissed the six high-level officials in his area. Is this low-key
"You go back." There was a slight smile on the corner of the minister's mouth, and he said: "In the next six months, the outer wall area should be very lively, I hope he can keep it, if he really surrenders, there is no problem in handing over the next pope to him. "
"The Pope?" Shadow's pupils narrowed, and he hurriedly lowered his head, as if he didn't hear anything, he cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate is leaving." After speaking, the figure disappeared into the office.
The Minister of Justice turned his head to look at the door that was opened and closed, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
