Chapter 655: Chapter 654: Collective Crusade_1

Driven by her instinct for danger, Yan Ling turned to escape.

But the man was clearly quicker and not only blocked her path but also forced her to retreat several steps.

Yan Ling was startled by his momentum, causing her to lose balance and hit her back hard against the edge of the table.

"Clank!"

Some dishes fell to the floor, making a loud noise.

Yan Ling felt a sharp pain in her back, but before she could mourn her injury, she saw the man extending his hand towards her.

Was he planning to hit her?

In a reflex, she raised her arm to protect herself from his attack.

But her defensive action stung his heart.

His hand, which had been stretched out to help her, instantly clenched into a fist, making a cracking noise as his bones rubbed together.

Was he really such a brute who thought with his fists to her?

"Bang!" His fist finally slammed on the table.

...

Meanwhile, as Yan Ling confronted King.

In the Dark Empire’s conference room, a group was fiercely criticizing her.

Sitting at the head of the table was Captain Luo Qi, watching the scene with amusement, as if watching a farce.

"Overall captain, the position of sub-captain isn’t small, and yet, how could a stranger be appointed?"

"It’s not fair. Adam has always demonstrated outstanding performance and he’s even made considerable contributions against the Owl organization! He finally has an opportunity to be promoted as sub-captain, but it was taken away by a person with unclear background! This is really unfair!"

"Yes, we firmly disagree with having a loser without any merit to be sub-captain."

Everyone aired their grievances, but Luo Qi remained surprisingly calm.

He didn’t voice an opinion, and even seemed to be distracted.

Seeing this, one of them stood up and said, "Captain Luo Qi! This not only concerns Adam but also you! King’s attitude towards that boy is extraordinary! And what if he really has a soft spot for that boy, what would then happen to Miss Linxi? And, if that boy continues to be favored, he might be appointed overall captain someday. Then, even your position wouldn’t be secure, Captain Luo Qi!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qi gave the man a chilling look.

"Sit down!"

Although the man was of high rank, he didn’t dare to offend Luo Qi, so he reluctantly sat down.

Once the room quieted down, Luo Qi slowly began, "Your concerns are not unreasonable. But you all should know King’s character. Even if he really plans to have Wesley replace me, what can I do about it? Would you dare to protest to King on my behalf?"

Upon hearing Luo Qi’s words, everyone fell silent.

Before the overall captain, they still dared to voice their thoughts.

In King’s presence, they didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.

Let alone speak up for others!

Luo Qi observed their reactions and couldn’t help but sneer inside.

Such a useless bunch of cowards!

They wanted to use him as a pawn, but whether to let them depended on his willingness.

"Now King is totally enchanted by that boy. Even if I tried to convince him, it would be in vain, but..."

Luo Qi deliberately paused, waiting until everyone’s ears perked up before he continued, "If he wants to leave on his own, it has nothing to do with us."

With these words, the other captains suddenly realized his point!
