Chapter 243 - Willpower Is More Important Than Anything Else (5)

Although District 12 was backward, due to the special geographical location, the soldiers of District 12had to fight against magical beasts and magical plants all year round, so their individual qualities were very high. Awell-coordinated team could even be compared to the military strength of a platoon from other districts!

Such an off-the-charts combat strength naturally made the other people envious!

However, all the military forces of District 12were under Ning Yiyuan’s control, so no one could get in. This epidemic was a good opportunity. As long as they muddled the waters, they could fish in troubled waters, right?

“Hmm…” Hearing this, song Tiancheng’s face suddenly changed. However, he was an old politician after all. His ability to change his face was first-class, and he quickly returned to normal.

Generally speaking, speaking half-heartedly was a common tactic in the political arena. Who knew that this Old Master Qin would be so straightforward, revealing song Tiancheng’s thoughts with a single sentence? The expressions of the people present were somewhat resentful.

“Actually… What Old Master Song said isn’t unreasonable.” The person who said this was the current Family Head of the Qiao Family, Qiao Shan.

It was unknown whether it was because he had consumed too many medicinal pills, Qiao Shan, who was over 230 years old, looked much younger than his peers.However, Qiao Shan’s body carried a gloomy aura. “After all, we must always put the big picture first. We can’t only focus on District 12. We must also think about other places.”

It was not strange that the Qiao Family would agree to the closure of the district. After all, whether it was the military strength of District 12 or Ning Yiyuan himself, they were all too popular. No one would be willing to watch them continue to expand. Now that they finally had an opportunity, they would never let go!

The moment Qiao Shan opened his mouth, those small families that had previously been mute began to echo his words.

After all, the Qiao Family’s medicinal pills were well-known in the entire Federation. In order to improve their elemental ability and obtain the Qiao Family’s medicinal pills, everyone would give him face.

“Family Head Qiao’s words are also correct.”

“That’s right! What if we’re implicated?”

“I’ve heard that this illness can not be cured.”

“Enough!” Looking at the group of people who were putting on an act, Old Master Qin only felt his head hurt badly. In the end, he said coldly before leaving, “I’ll say this here. I don’t care about your little schemes, but if you want to seal the district, I, Qin Dafeng, will not agree!”

As Qin Dafeng left, the others also left. This discussion ended with an unhappy ending,

“Family Head Qiao, are we just going to let go of the idea of sealing the area?” Song Tiancheng walked closer to Qiao Shan and slightly bent his body. There was a hint of inquiry and annoyance in his tone. They had finally seen such an opportunity, could it be that they were just going to watch it slip away from their hands for nothing?

“Don’t worry, you have to be patient when you do things.” The corner of Qiao Shan’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile that was indecipherable. “As for the matter of sealing the district, it’s not up to Qin Dafeng alone to decide!”

…

In just a short hour or two, the news of ‘District 12 suffering from a severe infectious disease epidemic’ spread rapidly and quickly. It garnered a lot of attention.

There were even official casualty statistics that appeared out of nowhere and were posted on relevant websites and forums, causing the netizens to be terrified!

“What’s going on? Is it true?”

“It’s over, my father is still in District 12! Could something have happened?”

The comments before were normal, but in the end, they were unknowingly led in another direction.
