Chapter 740 Walker's new position
The meeting room fell silent. William sat quietly on the side, not speaking. He didn't believe that Samuel's simple words could convince everyone present.
Dreams?
Passion?
A savior complex? Not everyone possesses these.
Moreover, often these so-called sentiments are far outweighed by tangible benefits that are within easy reach.
A middle-aged man sitting opposite Samuel spoke in a deep voice, "Commander Samuel, what can you do if we don't cooperate?"
"Kyle, what do you mean?" Samuel stared intently at the middle-aged man, a hint of murderous intent flickering in his eyes.
The Jones family was among the founders of the 13th Bureau. Even before the resurgence of energy, the head of the Jones family was already a Demi-God level powerhouse. Zoey was quite dominant back in the day, but it was the Jones family that truly intimidated the world's superhumans.
Kyle Jones was the representative of the Jones family at the Arcane Village base.
In terms of power, although Kyle Jones was an A-level superhuman, his family background and status were much deeper than Samuel's.
It was said that the current head of the Jones family had surpassed the power of a true deity.
"What I mean is, the new city needs to be built!" Kyle slowly stood up, sneered, and said, "However, how we build it should be a matter of discussion among us all, a bit more democratically. Why don't we vote on each issue that's been raised?"
"Commander Samuel, this isn't a place where you alone get to decide," Kyle said with a smile. "I know you're extraordinarily powerful, Commander Samuel, but you can't just kill us all, can you?"
In these chaotic times, every superhuman is incredibly valuable. If Samuel were to kill them, who would protect the base?
Samuel is an S-level powerhouse, true, but facing so many people at once without getting hurt is impossible.
The Arcane Village base also couldn't afford too much internal strife. Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m
Upon hearing this, Samuel clenched his fists.
He said bitterly, "Kyle, can you represent the Jones family?"
If this was just Kyle acting on his own, Samuel could easily eliminate him as a warning to others.
But if this represented the entire Jones family's stance...
Kyle raised his eyelids and said, "This is the will of our new leader."
"New leader? What about Milo Jones?" Samuel referred to Milo Jones, the previous leader of the Jones family, a powerhouse comparable to a deity.
Kyle replied indifferently, "My great-grandfather has retired to seek a breakthrough in power. The current leader is my nephew, Landon Jones. If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself."
Milo Jones choosing to step back at this time, ceding the leadership, essentially endorsed the actions of the Jones family, didn't it?
Samuel's face was stern. Steven had said that Walker was a troublemaker, but now it seemed that this was a good thing!
He needed someone with no reservations like him.
A disciple of Moros from the deity of witchcraft, Samuel had heard about him before.
Even if the Jones family members were arrogant, would they dare to challenge a disciple of the deity of witchcraft?
Ha!
It turned out to be a good decision to keep this thorn around.
"If no one else objects, let's have the body removed, clean up, and continue the meeting," Samuel also noticed Amy's pale face.
Although the young girl was powerful, she probably hadn't seen such a bloody scene before. Such a young girl had potential for the future, but compared to someone as ruthless as Walker, she still had a way to go.
Now, who would dare to object?
They dared to speak those words, banking on the fact that Samuel would consider the bigger picture and not take action, right?
Samuel didn't make a move, but Walker clearly had no qualms about killing. He had just killed an A-level powerhouse from the Jones family without blinking an eye. Any more useless talk from them would just add another ghost to the count.
"What are you standing there for? Didn't you hear what Commander Samuel said? Hurry up and carry these two bodies out," Walker said as he sat down, his face ashen.
At his command, people hurriedly carried the bodies out and cleaned up the blood.
William glanced at Amy, whose face was frighteningly pale, her lips turning purple, but her eyes were wide open, as if she was forcing herself to watch the murderous scene.
Her mentors were Zeus and Poseidon, so her training was exceptional, but her life experience was still lacking. To contribute to humanity, she had to face many things.
Some fears had to be confronted.
The blood was quickly cleaned up, and the atmosphere in the meeting room grew heavy, leaving everyone lost in their thoughts.
Samuel's gaze swept over those present again, a fierce glint in his eyes, as he said, "The construction of the underground city must proceed. It is meant to provide housing for more people. No one should use their power to oppress the ordinary people. Anyone found doing so will be executed without mercy!"
"Starting today, we will establish an Inspection Team, with Walker as the team leader!" Samuel was making full use of his resources. With someone as ruthless and well-connected as Walker, it was best to establish order and rules in the city first.
How could this city contribute to saving the world if its thoughts and actions were not righteous?
Hearing his appointment, Walker let out a cold smirk.
He liked this position very much.
As he smiled, the others felt a chill run down their spines. Damn, having this guy as the head of the Inspection Team was terrifying.
