Chapter 761: Chapter 601: Your Discontent is Futile_2

These are not good words to hear.

Could it be that the Elder Council really wants to deal with Shi Tao and the others to appease the Revival Association?

"Director Xu, it was the Feng Country people who were at fault in the first place."

Shi Tao said solemnly.

"I’ve already said, I’m not calling to hear you say this. I’m calling to inform you that within half a day, you need to arrive in Baijiang City."

Director Xu’s tone was non-negotiable.

"If you think you have grievances, the elders will give you a satisfactory explanation once you get here, understood?"

Shi Tao remained silent.

He wasn’t a child.

Once you are on someone else’s turf, they call the shots.

"What, are you not convinced?"

Director Xu keenly sensed this and sneered, "Even if you’re not convinced, it won’t help. No one who goes against the Elder Council ever meets a good end. If you don’t believe it, you can try."

"Director Xu, that’s not what I meant, I..."

"Enough."

Director Xu interrupted again, "I’ve conveyed the message. If by tonight you’re not seen in Baijiang City, well, you’ve been warned. Whether you listen or not is your business."

With that, he hung up the phone.

The oppressive atmosphere in the room intensified, making it hard for anyone to breathe.

A sense of despair spread through the hearts of the few present.

They had initially thought they were only up against the Song Family and the Revival Association.

Even those two forces alone made them feel hopeless.

They hadn’t expected that the Elder Council would also issue an ultimatum.

What would be the consequences of offending the Elder Council? They might never find a place to settle in Yan Country again.

Yang Yi sat to the side, opening his mouth, unsure of what to say.

It was obvious that nothing good awaited Shi Tao and the others if they went.

Director Xu’s tone had shown no patience for proper communication.

But if they didn’t go, their end would likely be even worse.

"Brother Yang, you should go back for now. Thank you for risking so much to come see us." Shi Tao said with a smile.

"Brother Shi, I..."

Yang Yi stuttered a bit.

Shi Tao nodded, indicating he understood.

"Sigh, Brother Shi, I wish you all good luck."

Yang Yi stood up, taking a deep look at everyone. It was likely their last meeting.

After Yang Yi left, the few in the room looked at each other.

"President, what do we do?"

Someone asked, "Are we really going to listen to Director Xu and get to Baijiang City within half a day?"

"If we go, there won’t be a good outcome, right?"

Another person shrank back a bit.

It wasn’t just the Elder Council; the Song Family and the Revival Association were also in Baijiang City.

Perhaps, the Song Family and Revival Association people were waiting there now.

Would the Elder Council ignore the Revival Association’s words and listen to theirs?

Most likely, they would be condemned as soon as they arrived.

"We’re dead either way, so what difference does it make?"

Chang Fei snorted coldly,

"If we don’t go, we might die here with some dignity. If we go, who knows in which dark corner we’ll die."

"Exactly."

Shi Tao nodded slightly, "Since they want to come, let them. It’s just a few more people than expected."
