Chapter 632: Chapter 631: Can’t Hide the Relationship with Tong Yunshu Anymore?
"Once the destruction plan is initiated, it signifies the start of the Third World War, which involves far too much. We cannot act rashly without proper communication with Penglai."
A deep voice came through on the phone, seriously warning: "Klein, you went out this time without convening a temple meeting for discussion. Now, you have gotten yourself involved in the internal strife of the Cavendish family, drawing criticism from many behind your back. If you propose the destruction plan now, you will be sanctioned."
Upon hearing the word ’sanctioned,’ Klein’s brows furrowed as he said, "Everything I do is for Heaven."
"I believe you, old friend, but Heaven is not for any one person to dictate. Any major decision must be discussed and determined by all eight Great Elders of the temple."
"That will miss the opportunity. Only by launching the destruction plan and catching the enemy off guard can we achieve the greatest gain at the smallest cost."
"Yes, I share your view, but this matter must be put on hold. Penglai is also facing issues and is not ready yet. Without the support from both our realms, there is no assurance of victory against Divine Continent Country. The Third World War should not be started lightly. Once initiated, if there is no guarantee of victory, it will be a disaster for any party. If the situation gets out of control, no one can bear the responsibility."
"Divine Continent has already developed that special Genetic Liquid Medicine, we cannot give them any more time to develop," Klein said with a firm tone, still insisting on his viewpoint.
"The elders of the temple will not agree. They must wait for news from Penglai."
"Damn it! A bunch of old stick-in-the-muds!" Klein cursed.
"Come back, Klein, don’t give those old fools any more leverage to attack you."
"All right," Klein responded reluctantly.
...
In England, within an ancient-looking, large estate, the twelve most important current representatives of the Cavendish family gathered together, holding a family meeting.
The Cavendish family holds a regular family meeting every year, but if there is a special circumstance, an additional emergency meeting will be called.
News of Willie’s collaboration with the high ranks of Heaven regarding Monica’s issue had reached the top level of the family. After discussions, they found the matter highly unusual and thus issued a notice to the family’s twelve decision-makers, calling them back.
Any one of these twelve individuals is a globally influential figure.
Several are important politicians in Europe’s major powers, while others wield decisive power in various industries.
It is no exaggeration to say that these people, coming together, can (if they make a particular decision) definitely influence the global economy.
Even the peace of certain regions is maintained behind the scenes by these individuals.
This is one of the oldest and most powerful aristocratic families in the Western World, the Cavendish family.
"Heaven’s interference in our family matter signifies that they have made their decision. Although our family is strong, opposing Heaven is simply a dead end."
"Exactly, this situation has made Heaven’s stance clear, so we can only follow the will of Heaven. Don’t forget, in both the first and second wars, we sided with the right people, which allowed us to survive through two destructive impacts. Therefore, we cannot make the wrong choice this time either."
"Are you suggesting that the Third World War is coming?"
"Isn’t that obvious? Divine Continent Country has developed the Genetic Liquid Medicine, which clearly threatens Heaven."
"Blocking Divine Continent Country has always been the Western World’s endeavor. If such Genetic Liquid Medicine can make Divine Continent Country stronger in the future, Heaven will definitely not allow it."
Among the twelve, five seemed particularly active and excited, expressing their support for Heaven’s actions.
The other seven remained silent.
Even among those, some frowned upon hearing the words supporting Heaven.
"In both the first and second wars, Heaven never interfered with the internal affairs of our family, nor did they guide or hint at any choices we made. But this time, they’ve taken the initiative to meddle in our internal matters, which breaks the original agreement."
Sitting at the most prominent position was a man who appeared to be in his seventies, but his spirit was strong, and his eyes sparkled with vitality.
His name was Wendy, and among the twelve decision-makers of the Cavendish family at this conference, he was the oldest and held the highest position. Often, many matters were decided by his word alone.
After Wendy had spoken, the faces of the previous five people changed slightly, and they fell silent.
The other six people each voiced their discontent about Heaven’s interference in the internal matters of the Cavendish family.
"Monica is a genius in our family. Her special ability may one day greatly elevate the status of the entire family. This is important and should be given the family’s best protection," Wendy continued.
The crowd nodded in agreement.
Even the previous five who were initially silent now nodded, signaling their agreement.
Although they advocated for complying with Heaven’s will, when it came to Monica’s personal safety, they still considered the interests of the Cavendish family.
Willie wanted to kill Monica and take her place in the Eastern World, which was too radical a move.
It’s true that such internal family struggles were always present, but Monica was special. She had long been favored and protected by the higher-ups of the family, as her existence gave the family more confidence when facing other powerful forces.
Moreover, Monica had always been very fond of Willie, providing much support and help to her nephew. It was despicable that Willie could do such a thing out of sheer madness.
"You mean to continue letting Monica get in touch with the other party?" someone asked.
Wendy nodded and said, "Peace is the wish of the vast majority of people around the world, who all despise war. The Cavendish family has always been striving for world peace, and we should maintain that."
"But the third war is inevitable," someone reminded.
Wendy nodded, "Those with ambition will indeed instigate wars, but we can strive to limit the extent of the war."
After a slight pause, he continued, "Let’s keep the decision unchanged for now and see if Heaven sends someone over. If the situation is unmanageable, we can discuss further. In any case, the legacy and continuation of the family are of the utmost importance."
Upon hearing this, the five people who supported Heaven also breathed a sigh of relief.
The other six had no objections either.
The Cavendish family was willing to strive for peace, but if war became unavoidable, the family would choose sides for the sake of their future.
After the meeting ended, the Cavendish family released a message on the Underworld Forum.
They publicly apologized to ’Boss Tang.’
However, they pinned all the blame on Willie.
This move caused a huge sensation.
It was unexpected for the Cavendish family to bow their heads.
Although they only offered a flippant apology and placed the blame on a dead man, the family had indeed made a public apology.
What does this mean?
It means that Madman King Tang has become powerful enough to make even the massive Cavendish family think twice about provoking him carelessly.
Combined with the video footage of Boss Tang thrashing Lawrence, Madman King Tang’s reputation in the Underworld skyrocketed.
For Yang Fei, this should have been a happy occasion, but right now, he couldn’t muster any joy.
Because at this moment, back at the villa, Qin Yanyang was looking at him with a rather unpleasant expression, asking him about his relationship with Tong Yunshu.
