Chapter 1580: 1458, the motion is passed

While Su Yu was organizing the restructuring, the "Supreme Council Meeting" at the Talin Hub was in full swing.

As the Chairman of the Talin Hub, Angry initially intended to convene the meeting the next day.

However, given the gravity of this situation, as soon as Su Yu departed, the council members spontaneously gathered and initiated the meeting.

By the time Su Yu returned to Blue Star, the "Supreme Council Meeting" had been ongoing for over six hours.

After these heated six hours of discussion, the meeting reached its conclusion.

Standing at the podium in the council hall, Angry declared loudly, "We have thoroughly discussed this matter just now, and everyone is now clear about the pros and cons.

Let us begin voting to decide whether to allocate these two trillion to Su Yu."

With a wave of his hand, Angry activated the voting panels in front of all the council members.

The previous six hours had been filled with ceaseless debate among the council members.

Some argued that the two trillion must be funded—if the Blue Whale truly succeeded in upgrading, regret would come too late;

Others contended that Su Yu was nothing more than a fraud. A Level 5 AI suddenly claiming to upgrade? It was simply an excuse to pocket the funds and run. Those who funded it would surely be fools!

Both sides clashed relentlessly, continuing their arguments until now, with the situation still evenly divided.

Only a vote could decisively resolve this issue.

...

When the voting panels appeared, most council members cast their votes without hesitation.

A small portion, however, hesitated and deliberated for a long time before pressing their votes.

Angry casually selected on his own panel as well.

He voted in favor of allocating the two trillion to Su Yu.

His reasoning was straightforward: If the AI upgrade failed, the hub would merely lose 1.6 trillion;

But if the AI upgrade succeeded and their hub failed to secure future competitive rights to the Level 5 AI, the public outrage among hub residents would be unimaginable! Every council member who cast a dissenting vote would be branded as hub traitors!

Better to lose this 1.6 trillion than bear the weight of such blame!

...

Twenty minutes later, the votes were tallied.

The Talin Hub’s Level-2 AI, "Holy Tower," promptly announced the results.

Its mechanical electronic voice echoed throughout the council chamber: "On the topic of the two-trillion allocation, the results are hereby announced:

Based on the final vote count, there were 473 votes in favor, 336 votes against, and 113 abstentions.

With approval votes exceeding 50%, the motion is passed."

"Whew—" Angry exhaled softly in relief. It appeared many council members shared his line of thinking.

The chamber below began buzzing with discussion.

Many had vocally opposed it during the meeting, yet it turned out the majority supported the motion.

At that moment, however, a rugged voice broke out from the back of the podium.

It was a deep, mature male voice, but it didn’t sound like it belonged to the Human Race: "Now that the vote result is out, I naturally won’t continue opposing it.

However, I request seven days from all of you. I will personally investigate this Su Yu at the Fegg Hub. I must ensure the responsibility for the hub’s two trillion is upheld."

Angry didn’t need to look back; he knew it was Drake Winter speaking.

Angry was standing on the podium now, and behind the podium was a row of 22 seats, with each seat representing a Stellar-level core council member.

Drake Winter was one of the 22 core members, and he had been the most vocal opponent of this motion.

It’s also worth mentioning—Su Yu’s last auction of "Lailin’s Wings" had been purchased by Drake Winter at an astronomical price of five trillion.

However, the stance on this current motion had no relation to the previous auction.

Angry did not turn around and merely responded directly, "Alright, you’ll have seven days."

He then addressed the entire council at the front: "Since a core council member has made a statement, we shall wait for seven days for the final decision.

For now, the motion is tentatively approved. Unless Councilman Winter provides conclusive evidence to overturn it within these seven days, the motion will proceed as per the current results."
