Chapter 117

"Sure enough, one condition becomes two, then three. Haven't I just led them around?"

Seeing this, through the vision of the Blackbeard puppet, Lin Cheng almost laughed out loud when he saw Gran Doma's face.

It could be said that Lin Cheng had put in a lot of effort to get Blackbeard into the Magic Council.

To erase the councilors' suspicions, he first chased and killed Master 'Zero' for thousands of miles, and then promised to hand over the method to traverse space, only then finally getting what he wanted.

Of course, the method to traverse space was just something he made up; it didn't exist at all. Including Ace's defeat at Blackbeard's hands today, it was just a play he had staged.

The abilities of the two puppets were extremely cool, and with a few impacts, no one would notice.

The purpose was to deceive the public and at the same time make the councilors believe more that he was forced into it.

From the current situation, Lin Cheng's plan was clearly successful, and even with the non-existent 'method to traverse space', he had completely dispelled the concerns of these councilors.

Perhaps because of Oog's strong tone in his anxiety, he didn't care about Gran Doma's feelings at all, so Gran Doma's face became darker and darker.

"Enough!"

Seeing that Oog was about to list one point after another about how Blackbeard might betray them, Gran Doma could no longer tolerate it and directly interrupted what Oog was about to say.

Pulling Blackbeard into the Magic Council's camp was Gran Doma's own decision.

Perhaps what you, Oog, said was not unreasonable, and you could have said it in private.

But accusing Blackbeard in public like this among the councilors multiple times was equivalent to slapping him in the face in public. Plus, the two had always had different philosophies in their work, so Gran Doma exploded immediately.

Seeing that Oog was still preparing to say something, Gran Doma waved his hand directly to stop him.

"Councilor Oog, I think you should take a few days off from work these days. Come back to the Council when you're ready."

Oog was stunned when he heard this. Although Gran Doma didn't say it directly, it was very clear that he was already very dissatisfied with him. The implication was to let him leave the Council.

To put it bluntly, it was equivalent to telling Oog to get out.

Seeing Oog's stunned expression, Lin Cheng almost laughed out loud.

Good guy, now the Tartaros incident hadn't happened yet, but the falling out between Gran Doma and Oog in the original work had been staged by himself in advance.

However, it didn't matter.

The more the two of them fought, the better it was for Lin Cheng to control the situation.

"What, didn't you hear me?"

Seeing that Oog was still motionless, Gran Doma frowned slightly and said.

"I understand."

After a sentence or two, Oog also came to his senses. He knew that Gran Doma had already issued an expulsion order, so he didn't delay and turned to leave.

He had done what he should do. Some things had been said, and there was no need to say more.

What's more, he had been dissatisfied with Gran Doma's behavior for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that he had invited him at the beginning and he had restrained himself for the sake of face, he would have left long ago.

Watching the direction Oog left, in a corner of the Council Hall, Hyberion, holding a red wine glass and wearing a gentleman's suit, couldn't help but frown slightly.

In fact, although the Heavenly Kings were invited to this meeting, in reality, only he and Blackbeard were present.

The restless Serena couldn't sit still. After hearing that there were other worlds in Ishgar, he had already followed the troops to search for them.

As for Warrod, the last of the Four Heavenly Kings, although he didn't suffer much injury in the World Government battle, he wasn't interested in the Council's affairs and didn't come.

The reason Hyberion came was, first, because he was bored, and second, he wanted to see if Blackbeard, who had newly replaced Wolfheim as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, had the qualifications.

But judging from the current situation, Blackbeard was able to provoke Oog and Gran Doma in a few words; this Blackbeard was clearly not a simple character.

However, considering that he was not a councilor, Hyberion thought about it and didn't speak.

"It seems necessary to pay attention to him."

Generally speaking, powerhouses are very sensitive. When Hyberion was watching him, Lin Cheng could feel that Hyberion was watching Blackbeard even without using Observation Haki.

"Hyberion, huh? I remember the magic he uses seems to be blood magic. Whatever, for a guy like this, find a time to figure out a way to solve it."

Hyberion continued to drink the milk in his red wine glass, his eyes fixed on Blackbeard.

Little did he know that in just a few seconds, a death notice had already been issued for him.

The intense meeting ended quickly under Gran Doma's chairmanship following Oog's departure.

The disposal of Ace and the result for Blackbeard were completely settled.

Ace would be released in three days, and three days later would also be Blackbeard's inauguration ceremony.

It was called an inauguration ceremony, but in fact, it was just a simple process.

"This grand play has finally begun."

After hearing this news, the corners of Lin Cheng's mouth also curled up slightly.

He had done enough foreshadowing for this grand play, and until now, this play had finally officially entered the right track.

However, this was not enough; just this bit of momentum was not enough, far from enough!

Too few people knew about this matter now. Even if earth-shattering things really happened, it still needed time to spread, just like in the past.

Although it could produce a terrifying sense of shock, it was still not the limit.

And now Lin Cheng intended to let the people on the Ishgar Continent pay attention to this war, mobilize everyone's thoughts, and let everyone look forward to the result of this war.

"It's time to let those little guys take action."

Saying this, Lin Cheng set his eyes on the low-level puppets at the bottom of the system backpack and smiled slightly.

In Lin Cheng's view, every puppet had its own value, even the lowest-level puppet.

If high-level puppets were protagonists and actors, then these low-level puppets were more like behind-the-scenes staff, silently preparing for everything in the background.

In Lin Cheng's view, as long as low-level puppets were used properly, the effect produced would not necessarily be weaker than high-level puppets.

Take now, for example: under Lin Cheng's instructions, those low-level puppets who had always been active in newspaper offices also began to take action, using newspapers to publicize this event extensively.

In order to attract more people's attention, Lin Cheng even had the puppets change the headlines of the newspapers to the result of this council meeting, conveying another meaning.
