Chapter 1360 - Convincing (2) (2/2)

Before Roland had the opportunity to dissuade her, the light sliced the table before her in two!

The teacup that was sliced into two dropped to the ground and shattered out loud.

Everyone’s eyes instantly turned towards her.

“Have all of you forgotten the original intent for the establishment of the Martialist Association?”

Her voice was not loud, but had undoubtedly revealed her annoyance.

“For centuries, Awakened Beings have assembled together to resist Erosion, to protect this world from being devoured by the Fallen Evils! And what is the present reality Even more powerful enemies have emerged from the Erosion, and Prism City was overthrown in a blink of an eye with Defender Furious Flames dying while defending it. Even with Awakened Beings, we didn’t even stand a chance. Yet in the face of this crisis, all of you are here discussing whether or not to believe in another world. Don’t you find it laughable?”

“Miss Fei Yuhan, don’t forget your place!” An old man erupted in range.

Rock stopped the man and asked in surprise, “Is this not important?”

Fei Yuhan replied without hesitation, “It’s not, I only see one point—Martial Artists are unable to defeat Oracles, but Roland can. If we can’t protect this world, we should be providing assistance to protect the people of this world! Please make no mistake about it, his explanation regarding magic power and the other world was merely to satisfy your curiosity and not an excuse for any of you to question!

“In other words, even if Roland is an ordinary man, as long as he is capable of killing the Oracles that us Martial Artists are helpless against, the Association should do its best to support him and attach importance to him equal to one capable of protecting the world. That should be the objective of this meet— Otherwise, how do we have the cheek to proclaim ourselves as guardians of this world?

“And it is because the Gods are difficult to defeat that we require the collaboration between both worlds. To fear the future and give up on forging ahead is simply the mentality of cowards, even if we know that defeat is the eventual outcome, we should do all we can to turn that around!

“I can understand that maybe some of you suspect that our point on ‘martial artists being unable to kill an Oracle’ does not hold; after all, only Zero and I were present at the scene at that time. But I welcome everyone to try—” At this point, the silver light covered Fei Yuhan’s entire body, and her tone had sank a few degrees. “As long as anyone of you is able to injure me to that same degree in a one-on-one, I will retract my words. How is that?”

Her gaze swept across the entire crowd, eyes as sharp as blades. All the higher-ups, who were superior in terms of seniority in age or position to Fei Yuhan, were unable to provide a rejoinder.

“As expected of an elite of the new generation…” Rock suddenly laughed as he clapped his hands. “Indeed, I shouldn’t be too hesitant over superfluous things and forgot about the true intention of the Association. You are right, regardless of where Mr Roland comes from, there isn’t any doubts regarding his contributions to the Association— Be it being a role model as a newcomer or his capability in hunting Fallen Evils, he is definitely a great addition into rebuilding the Association. Just this alone makes it wrong for us to have predisposing attitudesand judge him with malice.”

The Defender looked at the two, his voice filled with regret. “Ever since Prism City fell, I had a doubt whether humanity can continue surviving the Erosion crisis. Perhaps the situation is far worse than what I have anticipated, but I believe that everyone can see the goal. As for the other world, we can slowly probe into it once we have resolved this crisis. What does everyone think?”

“This… might be the most suitable way to handle the issue.”

“That’s right, we should place priority in defeating the enemies from Erosion.”

“I concur.”

Approving voices gradually drowned out the voices of doubt.

After all, eliminating Erosion was the top priority for Martial Artists. And to overthrow this verdict, one had to first get past Fei Yuhan.

Anyone who understood the brutality and desperation in the ambush on the bridge clearly knew it was not the wisest choice to stand against them at such a time.

Even if they won, it was merely directed against her challenge.

Even the elder had no choice but to keep quiet.

Fei Yuhan retracted her Force of Nature and returned to her seat. She smiled at Roland. “See, I’ve accomplished what I promised.”

Roland could not help but to cover his face; her methods were too reckless—although she was able to obtain a unanimous agreement temporarily, it had inevitably led to resentment. Roland knew that she understood this point; yet, she acted as though she did not care. “Why go to such an extent?”

“Because…” Fei Yuhan looked at her hands covered in bandages, her expression somewhat crestfallen. “This is the only areas where I can work harder in.”
