Chapter 904 - 875: Polarization

Chapter 904: Chapter 875: Polarization

The gunpowder scent in the air grew increasingly intense.

A good politician shouldn’t let emotions become a masked expression, but among the characters present, aside from being the nominal managers of Order, they were a group of ruthless figures with terrifying power.

Li Sisi’s speech was full of animosity, it was a direct criticism and reproach of Wang Xudong, whose various measures had clearly made the meeting somewhat delicate.

As the backing of Li Sisi, Xu Hongzhuang showed no expression, be it anger or agreement, she merely sat quietly beside Chen Feng, like a spectator, observing everything before her.

In two years, the girl once chased by Earth Dragon had turned into a true strong figure; her demeanor and power had undergone dramatic changes, yet the obsession in her heart remained unchanged.

Justice may be late, but it will never be absent!

Xu Hongzhuang always believed in this, never really wavering!

Under such circumstances, Li Sisi was naturally influenced by Xu Hongzhuang, joining her camp. In their view, humanity had suffered too much and should unite rather than engage in infighting and cause more earthly tragedies.

But Wang Xudong was different. He was in the same camp as Wei Xun, both belonging to the Blood War Department, where they experienced mostly slaughter and conquest. While expanding outward, whether dealing with monsters or humans, they treated all the same, those who obeyed thrived, and those who defied perished. In such circumstances, Wang Xudong naturally leaned towards plunder and occupation!

Li Sisi’s appearance was eerie, exuding an aura of misfortune all over her, due to her looks, even those daring enough to face her head-on were extremely few.

But at this moment, Wang Xudong raised his head, with a trademark goofy smile on his face, yet his gaze was deeply unsettling, like sharp knives slicing through Li Sisi, capable of executing her with just his eyes!

However, both were Golden Tier experts, and like Wang Xudong ignored Li Sisi’s oddity, Li Sisi was equally undeterred by his threats. Instead, the elderly woman’s head perched behind her slowly leaned forward, her eyes turning pitch black, resembling a black hole, attempting to devour the other’s soul!

Unlike Wang Xudong’s pure physicality, Li Sisi mastered Mental Attack, using the shriek emitted by the elderly woman to influence enemy brain waves, thereby inducing an illusionary state. This ability was similar to Chen Feng’s Illusionary Eyes, although the method of deployment differed.

"Alright, must we argue about this? If the internal is not united, how can we grow Order and reach greater heights?" As the tension grew in the air, Chen Feng frowned, knocking on the table.

The surroundings instantly became silent, even the previously fierce Wang Xudong was sitting obediently at the side, as for the head behind Li Sisi’s neck, it drooped low, lacking any of its previous oddity!

No matter how rapidly Order is developing now, with new changes every day, everyone knows who the real master of all this is?

Though Chen Feng has retreated to the background, his influence has not diminished, but rather, grown more mysterious and daunting!

His previous invitation for discussion was merely to assess current attitudes among Order personnel towards the surroundings, which was a probing, a kind of evaluation, and Chen Feng discovered an interesting scene.

Whether Wang Xudong or Li Sisi, they both represented the higher-ups’ intentions.

Li Sisi advocated for alliances closely tied to Xu Hongzhuang’s belief in justice, as someone who steadfastly maintained humane governance, she naturally saw the peaceful side of human interaction. During recent chaos, a third were on Li Sisi’s side, indicating many wished to maintain the status quo.

While Wang Xudong was Wei Xun’s spokesperson, unlike Xu Hongzhuang, who awakened as a hero template with Chen Feng saving her life indirectly, she rose rapidly, facing no setbacks to reach her current state. In some sense, Xu Hongzhuang too was an era’s favored child with great fortune!

But Wei Xun was different, he sacrificed his closest friend to survive, even after awakening, he merely transformed into a lizard, considered a third-rate awakening far from Upper-class, but he refused to accept this fate, pursuing strength by participating in Blood Sacrifice, merging with the abilities of the Hundred Beasts Divine General, thus becoming the Blood War Department’s chief!

With such a sinister growth history, Wei Xun naturally disbelieved in any nonsense justice, aware this was a world where man eats man, either the victor remains or the defeated submits, so between forces too, once encountered, they would crush any opposition with Mount Tai’s overwhelming weight, only then could Order grow stronger to dominate this land!

In the discussions, those supporting Wang Xudong were almost double those supporting Li Sisi, and Chen Feng concluded that Order nowadays was primarily hawkish, endorsing aggression, occupying, and assuming an evil identity to seize others’ assets!

As for Li Yu, he was Lu Wei’s close associate, as a Dark Department member, he stayed silent, after all, the Dark Department belonged entirely to Chen Feng, and the included High-tier Professionals could almost match the Blood War Department; they were Chen Feng’s close guards, so Dark Department members would not care about choices, peace or battle? They only obey Chen Feng’s orders!

From this standpoint, Order seemed to have split into two poles; one led by Xu Hongzhuang as the conservative group, believing Order was in the eye of a storm, compared to wielding force, it should recuperate, then initiate peaceful diplomacy with surrounding forces.

While the other, led by Wei Xun, was a battle faction, skeptical of any morals in this world, believing more in their fists over futile talks, that only sustaining battle through battle could make Order increasingly powerful and glorious!

Regarding this, Chen Feng was happy to see, understanding that whatever happens, maintaining balance is the utmost priority; close-knit subordinates would only cause him headaches.

However, on this matter, Chen Feng leaned more towards Xu Hongzhuang’s ideas, as she mentioned, Order is now too strong, like a wild horse galloping on the vast plains, behind dragging a wooden carriage.

Even if the wild horse tirelessly races forward, the wooden carriage behind might suffer damage after prolonged jolting, risking breakdown.

Expanding influence is pressing, but Order, in some sense, has reached its limit, and perhaps it’s time to halt for rest...

ps: Yesterday, Li Sisi and Wang Xudong’s camps were mistakenly switched, corrected today, apologies!
