Chapter 1555: Freya the Blunt
Through a night of nonstop cleanup by the Sun Peace Troops!
They finally managed to clear the ruins of the headquarters building enough to at least have a place for a meeting!
After reuniting with Yang Jian and the others, the group headed straight for the main island!
Yang Jian hadn't slept all night, preparing thoroughly for this meeting!
Various Dao Heaven experts also began gathering at the headquarters site one after another!
They all looked pretty worn out—some had spread out bedding and taken a nap on the ground!
Others just sat on the embassy ruins, brooding all night, smoking several packs of cigarettes!
The moment they saw Jiangnan, their resentment refreshed again!
...
The Sun Hall was extremely spacious, with sun-pattern decorations printed on the floor!
Around the hall stood ten massive stone-carved knights holding swords, their cross-shaped greatswords raised and interlocked with each other!
This symbolized the meaning of putting aside conflict and working together!
But these ten stone statues were in terrible shape—broken arms and legs, cracked heads, missing heads, and broken swords!
They couldn't have looked more miserable!
The walls were covered with crisscrossing cracks, as if they might collapse at any moment...
At the center of the hall was a huge round table, surrounded by several high-backed long benches!
As for Quinn, he was already sitting at the head of the table, resting his hands on a staff!
(⇀ʃƪ↼‶)...
The orange morning light streamed through the roof, falling on Quinn's gloomy face—such a quiet and beautiful scene!
Quinn had been sitting here all night!
As for why sunlight could shine directly into the room?
Hah—of course, because there was no damn roof here, dammit!
It had all caved in!
The hall had become an open-air courtyard, okay?
The various Dao Heaven experts gathered, and Jiangnan walked up to the hall's door!
He reached out and pushed the door open!
(｡ˊ˘ˋ)っdoor
"Creak—bang!"
The three-meter-high solid wood door fell flat onto the ground, stirring up clouds of dust...
A true "breaking and entering"!
Jiangnan's hand froze mid-motion, a sheepish smile spreading across his face!
(٥⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)"Morning, President Quinn? Another beautiful day is starting, huh~"
Quinn's mouth twitched: (͡°ʃƪ͡°)"Yeah, real beautiful. Take it easy—the Sun Hall is a fragile item now. Don't bring it down, or we'll have to hold this meeting outdoors!"
Qian Benying looked up at the sky, at the fluffy white clouds...
(꒪ͦ～꒪ͦ๑)"So what's the difference between this and being outdoors anyway?"
Quinn: (̿▀̿ʃƪ▀̿̿)̄...
[From Quinn's Resentment Value +777!]
"Everyone... take your seats!"
The members of the council filed in and sat down one after another!
At the huge round table, the top experts from various countries had gathered!
There were over twenty Dao Heaven-level experts alone!
Even during the Spirit Calamity over a decade ago, the scale hadn't been this large!
Outside the hall, the Sun Peace Troops and Punishment Officers maintained strict security, cutting off all external espionage and preventing any leaks of meeting information!
They were also on guard against possible attacks from the Holy Star!
But the Holy Star probably wasn't stupid enough to cause trouble at the Sun Islands at a time like this!
After all, everyone in this room combined could punch a hole in the sky!
Even Kupo was in position, sitting at Quinn's lower right!
But there was still no sign of Freya!
Jiangnan's gaze fell on Baldr—his arm had recovered?
That meant Freya must have gotten some money, right?
(๑¥ٹ¥)
Seeing that all council members were present, Quinn decided not to wait for Freya any longer and cleared his throat!
"Ahem—since everyone's here, let's begin! The purpose of this Blue Star Round Table Meeting is to resolve the Moon crisis and secure humanity's future!"
"I also hope that during the meeting, everyone can temporarily set aside grudges and open their hearts to discuss matters together!"
"Everyone seated at this table today is among the top figures standing at the pyramid's peak—the pinnacle of humanity, the strongest existences—each controlling incredible resources and energy!"
With that, Quinn tapped the tabletop!
"And you should all know that every decision made at this round table today is enough to change the world and affect the future of all humanity!"
"The moment you sit here and participate in decision-making, it is the greatest recognition this world can give you—an honor. But it is also a responsibility!"
At that moment, everyone's expressions turned serious, and their gazes involuntarily converged on Jiangnan, their looks strange!
(￢д￢。)
A whole circle of Dao Heaven experts, with barely any Starlight-level ones, and yet a Diamond-level had sneaked in here?
It was way too conspicuous!
Jiangnan was sitting there smugly—a street vendor like him had made it this big, huh?
Deciding humanity's future?
That sounded pretty awesome!
(๑•̌ࡇ•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣"Why are you all staring at me? So what if I'm Diamond? I'm a Diamond Drill, got it?!
"And what are those two little ones doing?"
In the corner of the Sun Hall, two meeting recorders were sitting, holding computers, their fingers flying over the keyboards at a blur!
Quinn was startled: "Oh, they're responsible for recording the meeting content. After all, this meeting will surely become a turning point in human history, highly worth documenting!"
"But due to the sensitive nature of the topics, video recording isn't convenient, so only text records are kept. The Spirit Martial Alliance will maintain strict confidentiality—rest assured on that!"
Jiangnan grunted an "oh" and didn't say anything more. But with his reminder, many people noticed the two recorders!
Their eyes flickered, adding another layer of caution!
Everyone sitting here today was no fool...
Quinn was about to speak when a rapid footsteps echoed from outside the doorframe!
The footsteps slowed from fast to slow, and then Freya walked in, wearing a white floral knee-length skirt and a green flower crown on her head, carrying a thick stack of documents!
Her posture was elegant, her demeanor graceful!
Jiangnan: (￢～￢) Tch~
Kupo: (≖～≖) Ptooey!
But most people still showed happy expressions!
No matter how many times you saw the Life Goddess's beauty, it always lifted your spirits!
Freya took the documents and handed them out one by one!
Quinn frowned: (O･`～･´)"Why are you late? Don't you know how important today's meeting is?"
Freya smiled sweetly, sticking out her tongue!
✧*(๐❛ั◡❛ั)✧*"I took a little while picking out a skirt—it's a very formal occasion, after all. Gotta leave a good impression on everyone~"
Quinn waved his hand, not saying anything else!
Jiangnan was stunned, surprised that Freya had managed to find a clean skirt!
That was just unbelievable!
Quinn said, "This document is provided free of charge by the Hua Xia side to everyone—all the detailed information about the Moon, the Moon Eye, and the One-Eyed Species!"
"Everything, down to the smallest detail, is in there!"
Everyone was taken aback—right off the bat, they'd dropped a bombshell? This open?
Jiangnan immediately gave Yang Jian a thumbs-up, and many people began flipping through the documents!
Meanwhile, Freya had already handed the documents to Senna's spot!
Senna grinned, his face full of spring breeze!
(›´ω`‹)"It's so early, and you must have been in a rush—you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"
"I brought you a portion. Take some time to eat it later!"
With that, he pulled out an exquisite lunchbox from his bosom!
Jiangnan was stunned—good lord! This guy really was a playboy, with hundreds of wives!
He sure knew how to flirt!
Freya: (๐ὅ◡ὅ)"Breakfast? The goddess doesn't eat breakfast. With the money you'd spend on breakfast, wouldn't it be better to buy two bottles of wine and drink them?"
"For me, that's the best breakfast. I just used a straw to drink half a bottle outside the door~"
As she said this, Freya's eyes suddenly widened, and she instinctively covered her mouth!
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ლ꒪‧̣̥̇)
Kupo was also stunned—damn? Freya was being this bold now?
Not putting on an act anymore?
Jiangnan swallowed hard—damn! Was what you just drank outside one of those two bottles of green stick I gave you?
Truth serum after drinking?
This... this isn't my fault, okay? You chose to drink it yourself!
Senna was stunned: (›´д`‹)"Eh? You actually like drinking? This... this is something I never expected!"
Freya gritted her teeth, tugging at her skirt, her face flushed red!
In the end, she couldn't hold it back!
(งᵒ̌⌂ᵒ̌)ง"It's not that I just like drinking—I absolutely love it, okay? It's my spiritual sustenance, my life!"
"A goddess's veins flow half with alcohol, and the other half is hot pot broth!"
"And by the way, you've got hundreds of wives already, and you're still bringing me breakfast? Are you trying to reel me in? I suggest you give up that idea!"
"You didn't actually think I wanted to marry you, did you? I was just being polite to make it hard for you to refuse, so you'd lend me money to spend!"
"Hmph—if you have that much free time, you might as well lend me more money to buy wine. Then I might be a little more polite to you for a bit longer!"
After saying all that in one breath, Freya felt an incredible sense of relief!
But at that moment, the entire Sun Hall fell into deathly silence—so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
Everyone stared at Freya in shock!
∑(°口°(°△°(°Д°(ŐдŐ๑)
Had... had she been body-snatched?
Was this bitchy, scheming person really the Life Goddess Freya?
Realizing something was wrong, Freya's face turned white!
(☍﹏⁰。)
Ahhh! Why did I just blurt out all my true feelings?
She quickly tried to explain to Senna, looking apologetic!
(๐･᷄～･᷅)"I'm really, really sorry—everything I just said was from the heart, not a single lie!"
"I said it only to salvage my goddess image so I could borrow more money from you later and—"
Before she could finish, Freya's face went black!
(̿▀̿◠▀̿̿)̄...
Damn!
It would have been better not to explain at all!
Over on the side, Jiangnan turned his head and buried it straight into the table, shoulders shaking violently, pounding the table like crazy!
┏━┓◟(°˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅°๑)
Heartbroken to the point of tears!
Senna had turned to stone on the spot, his face blacker than a coal ball!
(›இ益இ‹)"I see! So now can you give me back the eight hundred million you borrowed?"
At that, many in the room were taken aback, including Pang Badi and even Piers!
Freya had borrowed money from Senna too?
Freya spread her hands: ╮(•︠～•︡)╭"Repay the money? Repay what money? I borrowed it with my own skill—why should I repay it?"
Jiangnan: !!!
This woman was done for!
