Chapter 250

A word or two, and Ouga came back to his senses. He also knew that Grandlando had already issued the expulsion order, so without further delay, he turned and left directly.

What needed to be done, he had already done. Some things, once said, needed no more words.

Besides, he had long been dissatisfied with Grandlando's behavior. If not for the fact that Grandlando had invited him at the start, and out of regard for their relationship he had been restraining himself, he would have left long ago.

Gazing in the direction Ouga had departed, in a certain corner of the council hall, holding a glass of red wine and dressed in a gentleman's formal attire, Haibelion couldn't help but knit his brow slightly.

In fact, although this meeting had invited the Heavenly Kings, in reality only he and Hu Zi had actually shown up.

Serena, with her lively temperament, could not sit still. Upon hearing that Ishugar had another world, she had already followed the troops to search for it.

As for Wolod, the last of the four Heavenly Kings, although he had not suffered much injury in the battle against the World Government, he had no interest in council affairs and did not come either.

The reason Haibelion came was, first, boredom, and second, to see whether Hu Zi, who had newly risen to replace Ulfeheim as one of the four Heavenly Kings, truly had the qualifications.

But judging from the current situation, with just a few words he had incited a rift between Ouga and Grandlando—this Hu Zi was clearly no simple character either.

However, considering that he was not a councilman, Haibelion thought it over and still chose not to speak.

"Looks like it's necessary to keep an eye on this."

Generally speaking, the strong are very perceptive. When Haibelion was watching him, Lin Cheng, even without activating his Observation Haki, could feel that Haibelion was currently watching Hu Zi.

"Haibelion, huh? I remember his magic seems to be blood-sucking magic. No matter—a guy like this, I'll just find a time to deal with him."

Haibelion continued to drink from his red wine glass, pretending it was milk, his gaze fixed on Hu Zi the whole time.

Unaware that within just a few short seconds, a death notice had already been handed down to him,

The heated meeting, with Ouga's departure, quickly came to an end under Grandlando's hosting.

The handling of Ace and the outcome for Hu Zi were also completely decided.

Ace would be released in three days, and three days later would also be Hu Zi's succession ceremony.

It was called a succession ceremony, but in fact it was just a simple procedure.

……

" 'This grand show has finally begun.'"

Upon hearing this news, the corners of Lin Cheng's mouth curved up slightly as well.

For this grand show he had done plenty of groundwork, and only now had the play finally officially stepped onto the right track.

However, this was still not enough. Merely this much momentum was not enough—far from enough!

Right now too few people knew about this matter. Even if something earth-shattering truly happened, it still needed time to spread, just as always.

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

And now Lin Cheng intended to make the people of the Ishugar continent pay attention to this war, to stir everyone's thoughts, to make everyone anticipate the outcome of this war.

"It's time to let those little ones move."

Saying so, Lin Cheng cast his gaze upon the low-grade puppets at the very bottom of his system backpack and smiled faintly.

In Lin Cheng's view, every puppet had its own proper value, even the lowest-grade puppets were no exception.

If high-grade puppets were the protagonists, the actors, then these low-grade puppets were more like the behind-the-scenes staff, silently making all the preparations behind everything.

In Lin Cheng's view, as long as low-grade puppets were used properly, the effects they produced were not necessarily weaker than those of high-grade puppets.

Take right now—under Lin Cheng's command, those low-grade puppets that had been operating in the newspaper offices all along also began to move, using the newspapers to vigorously publicize this incident far and wide.

Lin Cheng, to attract even more attention, had the puppets tamper with the newspaper headlines, altering them to the results of this council meeting, conveying a different meaning.
