Opening an office in Taila

Chapter 281 Story

"The World! Time, stop!" Song Yufeng took out a stopwatch, pressed it gently, and the world instantly fell silent.

Looking at Xiao Jingyun in front of him, Song Yufeng couldn't help but sigh. This girl had an incredibly explosive temper. Even when he tried to reason with her and his prejudices were shaken, she still remained stubborn. In the end, she got so angry that she attacked him.

In fact, Song Yufeng could sense that her heart had been shaken, but she was unwilling to admit it or face it.

But now that she dared to attack him, Song Yufeng had to teach her a lesson.

Song Yufeng slapped her knife away, then delivered a powerful punch to her stomach and chin.

"That's about right, 3, 2, 1, time begins to flow..."

As Song Yufeng counted down, the world began to function again. Immediately afterward, Xiao Jingyun cried out in pain and was sent flying, crashing into the wall and creating a large hole.

To others, it seemed as if Song Yufeng hadn't even moved, yet Xiao Jingyun had already suffered a severe injury.

The group exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock, because none of them had seen Song Yufeng's movements.

"Cough cough..." Xiao Jingyun coughed a few times, then stood up unsteadily.

"How did you... do that...?"

“Extraordinary people have their own tricks, and the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. You only need to know that you have lost. Also, the others should not be thinking of standing up for their own people. I brought something else with me this time,” Song Yufeng said, and then he took out the piece of paper.

When they saw the pattern on the paper, they were all shocked.

"Where did you get this pattern from?" Bai stepped forward and asked.

"It was given to me by someone, ha, you should know who it was."

"What's your relationship with him?!"

"Well, I'd say he's both a teacher and a friend," Song Yufeng said, and this was his honest opinion. To him, Hai Mao was both a teacher and a friend.

Xiao Jingyun seemed to have never seen this pattern before. She looked at the crowd, who were filled with fear and shock, with a puzzled expression.

“Xiao Jingyun, this is a pattern left by a Celestial Master with terrifying power after he defeated us back then. Although we don’t know what it means, only he could draw this pattern. If that’s the case, I think I can understand how you managed to defeat Xiao Jingyun in an instant. Did he give you part of his ability to manipulate time?” Bai asked.

"whatever you think."

Bai nodded, then asked, "So, what is your purpose in coming here? Is it your own idea, or his?"

“Of course it was my own idea. He was just providing me with support,” Song Yufeng said. “I came here just to talk to you and, incidentally, to persuade Xiao Jingyun to change his mind.”

"Very well, let's talk then." Bai waved his hand, and a kind light covered Xiao Jingyun's entire body, and her injuries healed at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.

Originium Arts...

Song Yufeng didn't say much, and moved a chair over and sat down.

Xiao Jingyun glanced at Song Yufeng, then picked up the knife and stood behind Bai.

"Mr. Song, please speak." The others also stood behind Bai.

"Then I'll be blunt: why is the King's Staff entangled with Theresis?"

Bai fell silent, and so did everyone else.

"It's a long story..."

“We have plenty of time, let’s talk in detail.”

Bai sighed and said, "The King's Staff has only been revealed to the public for about ten years, but most of the time, it has been lying dormant. Only the higher-ups in Victoria know of our existence."

Our fathers were members of the previous generation of the King's Staff, except for Tianhuo and Xiao Jingyun, who are all new members.

The duty of the King's Scepter was to protect the monarchy, essentially acting as the king's private guard in the shadows. However, our fathers failed to do this well. In 1072, the king was hanged, and most of our fathers died for their country, except for my father. At that time, the King's Scepter was considered the only symbol of royal power besides the royal family. If the King's Scepter were to disappear, Victoria would surely descend into chaos due to the complete dissolution of royal power.

And Therese, he showed me his power, he showed us the grand vision of restoring Victoria's former glory, and he also needs our scepter of kings to maintain his future rule.

It's that simple, just a transaction.

“Interesting. What makes Theresis think he can restore Victoria to its former glory? What makes him think he can rule Victoria and maintain the monarchy? He is just a regent, an outsider. Kazdel's national strength is not as great as Victoria's. Not to mention that he only controls Londinium. Moreover, there is the Duke's army on the outside and the Self-Rescue Army on the inside. What makes him think that the overall situation is settled?” Song Yufeng asked.

"Based on this." Bai took out a small knife. The knife looked ordinary, but Song Yufeng sensed an aura of disgust emanating from it.

The breath of God.

"Theresis has received divine assistance. With the gods' help, Theresis's predicament is only temporary."

The gods... the supreme gods? What are they thinking?!

"What about the Deep Sea Church? The Deep Sea Church has an even bigger conspiracy, aren't you going to do anything about it?!"

“The Deep Sea Church…” Bai shook his head, then said, “You probably don’t know yet, but the Deep Sea Church has begun to gather in Londinium, and Theresis has already reached a cooperation agreement with the Deep Sea Church…”
