Ye Yun’s words were like a bomb, completely disrupting their train of thought!
"Heh, Elder Tang, do you really think my strength comes from my own cultivation? Do you think I asked the Dragon Palace for more resources just to line my pockets in 'Heavenly Dao'?" Ye Yun looked at him with amusement, posing two questions that completely flabbergasted him.
After all, for Ye Yun, a Heavenly Being, acquiring wealth was simple.
"This is a bit contradictory. You said you can only reach level thirty, but your current level doesn't seem to be thirty yet. And how do you know what happens after level thirty?" At this moment, Jin Di, sitting in the corner, couldn't help but ask. Bigwind Novel Network
"Heh, as expected of a big shot, you grasp things instantly. How I know is my secret. However..."
*Crack...*
A bolt of lightning shot out from the attic, piercing an eagle high in the sky.
"I've said what I needed to say. Whether you believe me or not is your decision. I'm telling you this in advance because I don't want to see more and more people gaining strength from the game, and our country being unable to cope."
"This is the ability I brought from the game, 'Arc of Lightning.' Is that convincing enough?" Ye Yun extended his hand, and an invisible force pulled the falling eagle into his grasp.
At this moment, the entire pavilion fell silent. Everyone was awestruck by Ye Yun's powerful aura. Even military big shots like Tang Zhe, who were known for their directness, stood frozen, speechless for a long time.
"What do you need? What do we need to do?" Finally, Xia Xingchao broke the silence.
"First, full ownership of Miliary Island. It will be developed and made into the Dragon Palace's base! My Dragon Palace members and reserves will be ready to answer the call of the big shots to deal with the coming cataclysm."
"Second, quickly establish a police force and have them stationed there! Prioritize the recruitment of individuals with special or powerful talents."
"Third, strengthen the management and ideological guidance of various civilian private alliances."
"The rest, you can figure out yourselves. You're better at this than I am. Moreover, as 'Heavenly Dao' impacts reality, the fiscal revenues of various countries will significantly decrease, which is also a problem." Ye Yun laid out his thoughts.
"Aside from ownership of Miliary Island, you don't need anything else?" Xia Xingchao frowned upon hearing Ye Yun's words.
"That's right. Honestly, according to my original plan, I intended to ask you for trillions of gold coins, but since I like you, I'll forgo it." Ye Yun drained his teacup again, then grabbed Elder Song's teapot and drank cup after cup. Ever since learning the 'Burning Heaven Art' in 'Heavenly Dao,' Ye Yun found himself constantly feeling thirsty.
"If this matter is true, what do you all think?" Xia Xingchao, sitting in his wheelchair, clasped his hands together and looked at the others, asking.
Logically, they should have discussed matters of national importance without Ye Yun present. However, this time, they didn't exclude him. Ye Yun, however, knew his place and went to an outdoor balcony to smoke. Even though he could hear them clearly from a hundred meters away, he wasn't interested.
He waited for over half an hour. It was already close to one in the afternoon. During this time, Ye Yun could still hear their arguments, and even Elder Tang's occasional angry retorts. The entire room was filled with sounds of heated debate and table-pounding.
"These old fellows really have stamina. They haven't even eaten lunch. I'm getting hungry." Thinking this, Ye Yun jumped down from the attic to prepare lunch for the leaders who were working hard for the country.
The bodyguards in the courtyard seemed to have received instructions. They even had Ye Yun's photo on their phones, so they didn't make things difficult for him at all. Soon, the entire kitchen of Tianyue Pavilion was bustling under Ye Yun's arrangements. Delicious dishes were quickly sent to the floor below the five elders' discussion, the eighteenth floor.
Another ten minutes later, Ye Yun returned to the top floor and saw the five people, now calm and collected. He couldn't help but smile.
"Big shots, it's almost time for lunch. If there's anything you can't settle, you can argue about it later," Ye Yun's remark instantly made them feel awkward.
"Ah, Little Ye, you've seen us in a bad light. Let's go eat. Old Wu, have the kitchen serve the food quickly. We old guys are fine, but we can't let our nation's pillars go hungry," Xia Xingchao said with a laugh, calling out to Jin Di. Although the five of them stood their ground, they were all working towards the development and strengthening of the country.
*Ring...*
Ye Yun's phone rang. It was Zhou Ningdong, calling to ask about a deposit of 20 billion from the Li Group into the Dragon Palace's account. Ye Yun casually explained the situation and then rejoined the five elders for a meal.
"Haha, I never expected to have such a good time indulging today with Little Ye," Tang Zhe said loudly to Ye Yun, laughing. The group, who had just been arguing fiercely, were now raising their glasses.
"Are you sure you're alright drinking?" Ye Yun looked at the five elderly men, who were in their seventies and eighties, realizing they were still very spirited.
"Haha, Little Ye, don't worry. We often do this. Oh, right, take this document first. Don't forget about it when you're drunk," Xia Xingchao said, downing a glass of white wine and handing Ye Yun a manila envelope.
"What is this?"
"Miliary Island's approval document. China will transfer ownership of Miliary Island to Ye Yun for personal possession for 70 years at the price of 1 gold coin! However, as a Heavenly Being, you'll have to handle any international issues yourself," Xia Xingchao said to Ye Yun with a serious expression.
"If anything happens, China can't help you much, as this is too sensitive. We hope you can understand."
"Haha, don't worry, Elder Xia. I only need the document. Besides, the Sakura Nation did the same, but their chosen person lacked the courage and strength I possess," Ye Yun chuckled.
"Come, five big shots, I'll toast you." Ye Yun drank the wine in his cup.
However, at this moment, Elder Song and Tang Zhe's phones rang almost simultaneously. Military and political leaders' phones ringing at the same time usually meant something major was happening. Ye Yun narrowed his eyes, watching the two elders' solemn expressions.
"The US fleet has entered the southern sea..."
