“By the way, are you the representative for United Pharmaceuticals?”
Xu Mo was speaking directly to Liu Qing.
Since these were all prominent figures in Dawn City, he had seen most of them before. In fact, he could even recall how they looked when they died.
But he didn't have a strong impression of this Liu Qing, only vaguely recalling that he was associated with a pharmaceutical company.
Liu Qing had been staring in shock at the heads on the table. Hearing "Bai Feifei's" voice, he finally looked up, squeezing out an instinctively stiff smile.
“Yes, it's me, I—”
Before he could finish, a silver flying knife shot straight toward his face!
Clang!
Xu Mo didn't care to listen. Knowing his identity was enough to make him strike.
Liu Qing's smile instantly froze on his face. The flying knife rapidly enlarged in his vision, leaving him so shaken that he forgot to dodge.
But at that exact moment, a figure next to him suddenly reached out and slapped the flying knife away.
It was Li Tai, the Family Head of the Li family.
He was an elderly man with a head of white hair but a spirited and energetic demeanor.
The hand he used to swat the knife was shrouded in an earthy yellow glow, making his entire arm look as if it had turned to solid rock.
He let out a cold snort and glared at Bai Feifei.
“How insolent! To openly attack a representative at the Voting Assembly!”
“Bai Feifei, you've gone too far with your lawlessness...”
Everyone around was utterly shocked, unable to process what was happening.
They had guessed that Bai Feifei might cause some trouble upon her arrival, but they hadn't expected her to throw a flying knife right off the bat!
Before they could even recover from the shock of the heads rolling across the table, they were thrown into another wave of disbelief by "Bai Feifei's" sudden attack.
Wave after wave, the sheer shock was overwhelming.
And now, seeing Li Tai jump in, Xu Mo wasn't about to coddle him. With a grin, he decided to fight.
In the next second, he suddenly raised his leg and kicked the table in front of him!
The heavy, solid wood round table cracked under his kick. The violent impact sent the heads rolling all over the place, spraying dark blood everywhere.
Boom!
The table flew forward, smashing toward Li Tai. Li Tai quickly slapped his hands down to force the table down, resulting in an ear-splitting crash.
“You old geezer, who the hell do you think you're talking to?”
“Your people were among those who tried to kill me. Did you selectively forget that?”
“I'm dealing with him first, but did you think you were off the hook?”
Xu Mo pointed at Liu Qing and Li Tai, swearing at them directly.
Then, shifting his gaze, he turned to look at Huang Xin on the other side of the table.
“And you, surnamed Huang. Why aren't you speaking? Our grudge goes way back.”
“What, did you forget about Huang Jiahao keeping my ring and refusing to return it?”
As he spoke, "she" raised her right hand, flaunting the ring on her finger.
This was a blatant, in-your-face provocation that no one could tolerate, let alone Huang Xin, who had lived in the Inner City for so long. It had been decades since anyone dared to speak to him like this.
“You're courting death!”
He stood up abruptly, his aura erupting. Behind him, the members of the Huang family in the delegation also stood up in unison.
Before they could even move, Xu Mo had already leaped onto the platform. Black energy began to swirl around his heart.
Li Tai, the Family Head of the Li family, took a step forward. An earthy yellow glow flowed around his body, and the floor of the entire hall began to tremble.
This pile of heads was hard to explain anyway. If they could use this moment of impulse to wipe out "Bai Feifei" on the spot, it would be for the best.
Clapping his hands together, his body began to turn to stone. He actually executed an Escape Art, causing sand and stone to surge toward Xu Mo.
Immediately after, cold light flashed in Huang Xin's eyes. A black whirlwind whipped up around him as he prepared to strike.
In an instant, the entire venue fell into complete chaos. Many of those present, whether representatives or onlookers, stared with wide eyes.
Never in the history of the Voting Assembly had these "respectable" figures ever engaged in such a raw, violent brawl.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Not just the attendees—everyone watching the live stream was also dazed, with some almost thinking there was a problem with their screens.
This was the first time they realized that the Voting Assembly could unfold like this. Fighting right off the bat, right in front of the entire city?
Wasn't it supposed to be a bunch of old men spouting bureaucratic nonsense about proposals and then raising their hands to vote?
It could actually go down like this?
Leave it to Bai Feifei! Wreaking havoc in heaven right from the start, truly opening everyone's eyes.
Moreover, everyone found it incredibly bizarre. Was this "Bai Feifei" truly fearless?
Causing a scene in a place like this and putting herself against everyone... did she really not think she would die here?
But to be honest, Xu Mo wasn't particularly afraid.
This run had started exceptionally well. Bai Feifei's level had risen rapidly, and her physical strength far exceeded those of the same level.
The Sinking Black mode granted by the Heart of the World allowed her strength to skyrocket, and the Crown of Time Lag was his ultimate trump card.
The only drawback was that he couldn't fight at full power in that mode for long. Just killing Yi Jing earlier had completely drained Bai Feifei's Sanity.
If Bai Feifei was willing to cooperate and enter that state of locked Sanity, Xu Mo wouldn't have to fear anyone in Dawn City!
Perhaps only Liu Yun could pose any real threat to him.
Thus, from the moment he set off with a bag of heads, he had already made up his mind: he would beat them on sight once he got inside. He was sick and tired of their tedious formalities.
The storyline couldn't really be advanced through polite conversation. He had to force their hand to make proper progress, ensuring those who wanted to gloss things over wouldn't be able to.
Coincidentally, it would also serve as a test for the City Lord, whose temperament he didn't know well.
Right now, "Bai Feifei" stood on the table, facing the hostile crowd. Wan Qianhong also stood up.
She hadn't expected Bai Feifei to become even more outrageous after just a few days. Even so, her instinct was still to help.
Just then, Liu Yun's voice echoed through the hall.
Though her voice wasn't loud, it drifted clearly into everyone's ears.
【I once dreamed of a million-strong army!】
As her voice fell, a powerful pressure instantly erupted within the hall, and countless phantom figures rose from the ground.
A golden phantom appeared beside every single person in the room, pressing down on their shoulders. Everyone involved in the brawl—whether it was Xu Mo or the others—was pinned firmly in place, unable to move a muscle.
“Everyone, please calm down.”
“We have a lot to cover. Let's... take it one step at a time.”
Liu Yun spoke, her voice carrying not only helplessness but also a trace of unspeakable exhaustion. She cast a sidelong glance at "Bai Feifei."
