Chapter 546

"Not bad, even if it's to demonstrate the importance of the Fapingyi Society in Ishgar."

"There's absolutely no need to destroy an entire country, do you all know just how much impact destroying a country has on the citizens of that entire nation?"

"These ramifications, Councilor Leiji, can you bear the responsibility?"

Jiura Leijis's face also turned exceedingly grim; they had been colleagues of the Holy Ten just moments ago.

All of a sudden, Jiura Leijis began to feel that the people before him had become somewhat strangers.

They had originally been allies on the same side, yet the actions taken at this moment were something they could not accept.

"Jiura, Makarov, these matters have already been decided by the Fapingyi Society."

"Matters decided after a vote by all the councilors, and what we will destroy is merely the rule of the Kingdom of Fiore."

"It will not affect the lives of the residents of the Kingdom of Fiore; I give you my guarantee on this point."

Councilor Leiji looked calmly at the two people not far away.

When he spoke those words earlier, he had already anticipated their reactions, and at this moment he directly voiced what was on his mind.

The obvious point was that they simply had no great way to decide anything right now.

Because the ones who could decide matters were not them, but the people from another world who truly possessed power.

The reason Jellal helped them was also very clear: he wanted to use the fact that they were locals to act more easily.

If they could not do it, this cooperative relationship would probably quickly fall apart.

And the Kingdom of Fiore, this heretical kingdom, this nation that was heretical in their eyes, had to be dealt with.

Otherwise, within the next several years, the majority of the kingdoms would begin to act in this way.

Then their future, the future of the Fapingyi Society, would have no reason to exist.

An organization with no reason to exist represents destruction.

As the Chairman, the highest decision-maker of the Fapingyi Society, Councilor Leiji had already tasted the sweetness of power.

Tasted the flavor of being able to control others' futures from afar.

He no longer wished to let go easily, even if it meant offending more people as a result.

This was why Councilor Leiji was determined to cooperate with Jellal.

Not only because of Jellal's power, which was no inferior to that of the Seven Deadly Sins Knights, but more importantly because Jellal could guarantee the authority of his Fapingyi Society.

Could guarantee the Fapingyi Society's long-standing position on the continent of Ishgar.

"You really are a terrifying person, Councilor Leiji."

"For the sake of the Fapingyi Society's position, you would so easily eliminate an entire country?"

"Then what is the meaning of that country's existence? Even if the Dragon King Era appeared because of them."

"But that does not mean the Fapingyi Society has the ability to decide the life or death of a country."

"Don't forget, the purpose of the Fapingyi Society's existence is merely to maintain the balance between the various kingdoms and the guilds."

"What it primarily oversees is the Mofagong Society, not these kingdoms; you simply have no right to decide such a matter."

Makarov stood up, his expression already turning very unsightly.

He had already figured out Councilor Leiji's meaning; it was obvious that he was addicted to power and unable to extricate himself.

And the subsequent situation was even clearer: what Councilor Leiji's true thoughts actually were.

This kind of scheming from a person obsessed with power was something he absolutely could not accept.

"Indeed, Councilor Makarov's meaning is consistent with my own."

"Councilor Leiji, I apologize, but I also cannot accept this matter; please forgive me for leaving the ranks of the Holy Ten."

Jiura Leijis stood up, bowed to everyone present, and strode out of the Fapingyi Society.

.. 0...

Makarov followed suit, and not a single person stopped them.

Even Warrod was the same; he was now already a person belonging to the Fapingyi Society.

And regarding this matter, he also supported Councilor Leiji.

After all, the ultimate beneficiary of this matter would absolutely be the Fapingyi Society, and the ones damaged would absolutely be the people from another world.

For some unknown reason, after Mavis's body was taken away.

A grudge had already begun to arise in Warrod's heart; this was not only toward those people from another world.

He even had some resentment toward Makarov, so at this moment he did not directly stop Makarov.

Instead, he looked toward Councilor Leiji.

"No need to bother with those two; notify everyone immediately."

"Makarov and Jiura Leijis are both removed from the ranks of the Holy Ten; for the next period of time we will properly organize the attack on the Kingdom of Fiore."

"When the time comes, we will need Councilor Jellal and your companions."
