Chapter 1401 1401: God's Society, Punishment!
"..."Qin Feng was in a daze.
He had no idea what to say to her.
Meanwhile.
Qin Feng was also very troubled.
Although the rebels were dealt with, someone like her, at such a young age, was completely unfit for the role of Sect Hierarch of the Bright Church.
"Do you have someone you trust especially?"
Qin Feng asked her.
She was still young, but if she had someone trustworthy, it would be better—just like he had Wei Yunxiang, Xiao Lian, among others. He could let them take charge without worrying much, and it would be a way until she matured.
"Yes! Besides Bill from the Bright Knight Order, I have two friends I've played with since childhood, one named Sorren, the other Catherine. They've always taken great care of me and were nurtured by my parents to assist me in the future. Originally, for this Round Table Conference, they wanted to accompany me, but my uncle and others stopped them, so they didn't come."
Joanna said.
Qin Feng felt relieved upon hearing this.
Since there were people who could help her, it was good, and the powerful and loyal Bright Knight Order meant there was no need to worry about her for now.
"Are you leaving then?"
Joanna was a bit reluctant, her beautiful sapphire eyes glowing.
"I'll stay for three more days!"
Qin Feng stretched lazily and continued lying down.
Three days later, the Round Table Conference would take place. He needed to continue creating topics to keep everyone's attention here, providing Baili Qiurong and others a bit of a breather.
As long as he was here, topics would continue.
"Great!"
Joanna was excited when he said he would stay for two more days, hugging his neck and kissing his face.
Qin Feng felt a bit flustered.
Though she was only thirteen, she was very developed. Hugging him like this, pressed together, made his breathing rapid...
At this time.
A knock on the door sounded from outside.
Qin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, glad someone interrupted; otherwise, being so affectionate might lead to trouble.
He hurriedly got up with Joanna, dressed, and went outside to greet them.
The visitors were two well-dressed, polite-looking men in suits.
The leader, with slick hair and a small mustache, said to Qin Feng and Joanna, "Can we sit down and talk?"
"Of course," Joanna said.
In the living room.
The mustached man took a sip of coffee and said, "Hello, I am George from God's Society."
"Hello."
Joanna responded politely.
Though only thirteen, her noble upbringing was evident.
"You see, yesterday I heard there was a rebellion here, so I came to verify it. Ultimately, I found that the key figures were the four from the Bright Holy Sect, correct?" Mustache George said.
"Yes." Joanna nodded.
"Indeed." George recorded it on paper, then continued, "According to Dragon Bay Island's regulations, that cancels the participation of the Bright Holy Sect in the meeting, replaced by others. Additionally, the Bright Holy Sect must pay one million Spirit Stones or equivalent, provided to the Round Table Conference attendees. Is that okay?"
"Yes, that's fine."
Joanna nodded.
She knew the rules of the Round Table Conference; causing trouble here resulted in normal disqualification, and only penalizing a million Spirit Stones was because the deceased were from her own Bright Holy Sect, otherwise, the penalty might have been larger.
The God's Society, one of the nine top organizations, was the host.
They decided the rankings and who could participate in the Round Table Conference.
They had a comprehensive investigation method.
They could assess each organization's financial strength.
The Heavenly King Palace received an invitation from the God's Society for this year's Round Table Conference qualification.
Although the God's Society was not strong in combat, they were unrivaled worldwide in this domain.
That was one reason why they could join the nine top organizations.
Qin Anna was about to sign the penalty document when Qin Feng spoke up, "Wait a moment!"
"Does Mr. Qin have any objections?" George asked.
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Mr. George, there was indeed a rebellion here last night, but this was our family affair, and it didn't cause any external conflict, so shouldn't the penalty be reduced or not imposed at all?"
"Oh? Family affair?" George inquired.
Qin Feng continued, "Of course, I am her fiancé, assisting her in eliminating rebels; isn't this a family matter?"
"..."
George furrowed his brow in thought.
What he said seemed quite reasonable.
Qin Feng smiled again and said, "How about this—with the disturbance caused to everyone, there should be some penalty, but instead of a million Spirit Stones, why not cancel the Bright Holy Sect's participation in the conference? How does that sound?"
"Oh??"
George raised an eyebrow, puzzled.
Being able to attend the Round Table Conference meant a confirmed status among the nine top organizations; often people fought desperately for it, willing to pay any price.
Yet he chose the Spirit Stones rather than the conference participation!
"Mr. Qin, how about this—pay a million Spirit Stones, and continue letting the Bright Church join the table?" George offered.
"No, no, let's stick to canceling participation!"
Qin Feng said with a smile.
"..."
George leaned back on the sofa, eyes narrowed, regarding Qin Feng, "Mr. Qin, to my knowledge, a million Spirit Stones may be a lot for others, but not for you, right!"
"So-so," Qin Feng chuckled.
George continued, "If my guess is correct, you want the Bright Holy Sect disqualified so your Heavenly King Palace can have a seat, right?"
Though the Heavenly King Palace had conference participation qualification, it was only gold-level, without a seat at the table, akin to Medicine God Valley and other second-tier forces on long benches outside. Among organizations on them, the Heavenly King Palace was best qualified for a table seat.
"No, no, you misunderstand," Qin Feng smiled. "Even if the Heavenly King Palace lacks the table seat qualification, Heavenly King Mountain does, so I can still sit at the table. So that's not the reason; I'm simply trying to save money."
George chuckled, lighting a cigarette, "Mr. Qin, I intended to discuss Joanna Sect Hierarch's matters first, then yours. Since we spoke of it already, let's settle it together. Heavenly King Mountain was stripped of its seat qualification, unless five million Spirit Stones are offered as compensation to the Round Table Conference and Hell Sacred Meeting."
"Why?" Qin Feng asked.
"At Mashan Peninsula, you made Hell Sacred Meeting's young master wish for death over life. I imagine you should know the consequences, right?" George said. "Stop trying to be evasive with me, claiming to help Dragon King Hall Second Prince with issues; everyone is aware of the truth, so punishment is inevitable."
