477 Dispute (2/2)
”They had been taken care of by him before they barely managed to pass the fifth level. And the reason for the two of them to be ranked ninth and tenth is because of the teamwork mechanism on the third level. They had formed a team with Shi Xiaobai and had been given trial points when Shi Xiaobai conquered the third level's Level Lord! These two people are clearly lacking in strength.”
”They managed to ascend the levels only on the virtue of receiving protection. They eventually got nominated because they had clung on to a powerhouse! Their results are completely ingenuine. How can it placate the masses? Division Minister Minamiya, you keep insisting that they had achieved it with hard work, but can shamelessly clinging onto Shi Xiaobai be considered hard work? It's completely lamentable, shameless and ludicrous!”
The middle-aged woman was responsible for external diplomatic negotiations in Zeus. Her ability to distort facts and proficiency at doing 'mouth work' was always something recommended and well-liked by the upper echelons.
After she finished her spiel, the crowd applauded and gave their kudos. They also echoed what she said.
Yama Minamiya remained expressionless and was unmoved. He only stared at the members of the upper echelons of the various organizations that were higher in stature than him without being servile or bumptious. He was not proficient at giving speeches or engaging in a war of words.”
”Wen Hezheng and Kevin were not rookies from his division, but having abided to the two convictions of 'righteousness' and 'honesty', he could not sit idle as he watched a scene with people using their power to threaten others. More importantly, he could not let the two children who had made others look at them in a different light after they left the land of trials to suffer such unfair treatment.
Yama Minamiya coldly glanced at the middle-aged woman and said with a deep voice, ”Nonsense. It is utter nonsense! Kevin and Wen Hezheng had only formed a team with Shi Xiaobai at the third level's group mode. The other five levels were part of a competitive mode, so how can there be any protection? The trial score's allocation of points is also your subjective guess.”
”Who can be sure that the points obtained when conquering the Level Lord would be split with others during team mode? The claim that Zhu Yuanyuan and Huang Peng had been accidentally drained of their stamina at the third level is completely your word. Is there any evidence to prove it? Furthermore, Kevin and Wen Hezheng definitely didn't have a good time at the third level.”
”Back then, Shi Xiaobai was dealing with the Level Lord, while they were trying their best to accumulate enough points. They were also exhausted by the time they reached the fourth level. If we are talking about unfairness, it will be the two of them being at a disadvantage. What are you basing on to claim that they have no chance of victory under normal circumstances?”
”After three days, they should be re-evaluated in their appraisals. Kevin and Wen Hezheng were already completely different from the battle exchange. Think about it. How much effort did they need to put in for them to reach such a step? They had passed the official selection to rightfully win the spots in the collective training. There is no reason to deny it. It is also not to be snatched by anyone else. That is true fairness!”
Yama Minamiya became increasingly agitated as he spoke. His fist was clenched tightly as he spoke with his head and chest held high. Without looking anywhere else, he was feeling proud of both Wen Hezheng and Kevin. He was also furious over such a discussion that should not have happened!
The middle-aged woman's eyes were ice-cold as her lips trembled gently. She was about to open her mouth to retort.
But at that moment, a thin man wearing a suit rapped the table. His voice was rather soft, but it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The suited man tapped the table's surface with his fingers as he hung a 'friendly' smile on his face. He said, ”Since Division Minister Minamiya is so confident in his rookies, why are you so insistent on objecting the change of rules? Let the rookies who reached the sixth level enter a selection match and let strength do the talking. Wouldn't that be the fairest?”
”If Wen Hezheng and Kevin really possess the strength to participate in the collective training, it would not be difficult for the two of them to stand out during the selection match. In that case, it will be a smack in everyone's faces and it will also convince the public. Wouldn't that be perfect? Division Minister Minamiya keeps insisting that Wen Hezheng and Kevin are no longer the same people as before, so why not set up an arena and have a go at it? Could it be that 'righteous and honest' Division Minister Minamiya is only hoping to use glib words to skip around the matter?”IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said ””, but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
