Chapter 918: I'm Cheating! He Who Commits Multiple Injustices Will Meet His Own End!

Ten minutes later.

"The voting phase is over; members, please remove both hands from the table!"

The parchment suddenly turned into a stream of light, pierced the Starry Sky, and vanished without a trace.

That little act of tearing the paper did not escape Xingchen's eyes.

He squinted his eyes, his voice low and muffled, echoing throughout the silent space,

"What were you just doing?"

Su Yang lifted his gaze, spreading his hands.

He retorted, "Can't you see? I'm cheating!"

What?

Xingchen first frowned, then laughed scornfully without end.

"Hahaha…"

The laughter spread across the area, drilling into everyone's ears.

The echo swirled, rather harsh.

The others, not understanding, had eyes filled with curiosity.

Xingchen slightly lifted a corner of his Mask, reached in and wiped his eyes.

"You've made me laugh tears out of my eyes, Mr. Silver Moon is truly humorous."

"Cheating?"

"You're just a host, don't think of yourself too highly."

"And don't elevate yourself any further."

"If you fall... it will be terrible."

Facing his provocation and sarcasm, Su Yang merely gave a faint smile.

In his view, Xingchen was nothing more than a hopping clown.

At the meeting, his omission of the other's filthy deeds was not to spare his face.

The balance of lightness, heaviness, and urgency is important.

Moreover, that is a matter between him and Xingchen.

Bystanders cannot interfere.

Now the Proposal phase and the voting phase have ended.

He naturally no longer needs to maintain a pleasant demeanor.

"A dog of the Old Era, dare to bark wildly before me?"

Xingchen's gaze grew cold, his tone unintentionally rising a few steps, "A hat that big on the buckle— I can't bear it."

Su Yang shook his head, "It seems you still don't repent; you must think betraying the New Era Round Table Conference members is nothing, right?"

Xingchen slapped the table, his voice deep, "Don't portray yourself as a White Lotus; you and I are half a catty each, big brother won't call second brother."

"Is that so?" Su Yang stroked the Golden Scepter, feeling the trembling frequency at its tip, his eyes tinged with a hint of reluctance.

A moment later, the Scepter abruptly turned into a speck of light and vanished without a trace.

This means…

Su Yang's exclusive hosting time was declared over.

He clenched his fist, recalling the feel of the Scepter, lamenting, "Power truly is the hardest to relinquish within Desire."

"Especially after tasting a decent sweet, one always schemes countless ways to regain power."

"Everyone says the Death Game erodes humanity."

"But I feel not only it hasn't, it actually lets humanity's baser instincts grow wildly?"

"Good people become bad, bad people become worse."

"And the most beastly among them is…"

"Bad people claim themselves to be good."

"It's downright laughable, the biggest farce under heaven."

"If turncoats, traitors, and Traitors can become decent citizens from someone's mouth, then I admit I'm a bad breed."

"After all, in this world where black and white are reversed and right and wrong indistinguishable, the threefold values are worthless."

A round of self‑deprecating words made everyone's gaze subtly shift.

No one, red‑faced, rebutted the argument.

There was only full regret.

His regret was not only for the loss of power, but also for Xingchen.

Except for Tiger, the other members did not understand what had transpired between the two.

But from the dialogue one can roughly guess a bit.

This grudge, it seems, is not small.

Xingchen, furious yet laughing, pointed a Finger at Su Yang, "You know better than I do who Yue Zhao is; do you really think I'd be foolish enough to collude with him?"

Su Yang looked at him with pity, "What you're telling me now is meaningless; I don't want to know the specific details of your cooperation with him."

"I also don't want to know what calculations you're really making."

"Whether it's feigned compliance or deliberate."

"I only look at the result."

"I only know…"

"You obeyed the Old Era Remnant Faction's orders, striking against your own compatriots."

"You might be willing to abandon the whole era's development opportunity for a tiny, fly‑head profit right now."

"Judging whether a person is good or bad does not depend on how they think."

"But on what they do."

"They say a gentleman judges deeds, not heart; I haven't seen any contribution of yours beneficial to the era."

"On the contrary, you deliberately obstruct!"

"Based solely on that, I have absolutely no obligation to discuss amicably with you."

"Let me advise you—those who repeatedly act unjustly will bring about their own ruin!"

"Xingchen's face color briefly Transform, finger continuously trembled, clearly quite angry."

"Yet before he could speak, a broadcast voice rang out immediately."

"The Vote Type Public Announcement is about to commence!"

"The next moment, a white spotlight suddenly shone on Leaf's head."

"Eight dim Xingchen suddenly appeared."

"One, two!"

"The third emitted a faint glow, ultimately failing to shine."

"Member Leaf, total two votes!"

"Two votes?"

"Sight this result, some are happy, some are sorrowful."

"Leaf clenched fists tightly, took a deep breath."

"In the end, still can't do it?"

"Mountain glanced at him, and said, 'You've already done your best; after returning, refine the Proposal, and perhaps it will pass next time.'"

"Upon hearing that, Leaf instinctively looked up at the flickering Xingchen above his head."

"He instantly understood, and couldn't help casting a grateful glance at him."

"Thank you!"

"Mountain waved a hand, saying nothing more."

"Soon, Radiance shone onto Rabbit."

"A star immediately lit up!"

"Su Yang is very familiar with this momentum."

"Judging by the speed of the flash, the final result won't be less than five votes."

"Second, third..."

"The momentum doesn't wane, still sprinting."

"\"New Gambling Game... can it really succeed? \" Lin Yang thought silently."

"Rabbit clasped both hands together, staring intently at the top."

"Eyes filled with anticipation."

"This is the 'root' in her grand scheme."

"As long as this Proposal succeeds, the future will have limitless room for development."

"It might even create a unique Rule Entity system."

"Applicable for thousands upon thousands of years!"

"The fourth and fifth lit up simultaneously!"

"Just when everyone thought it could still rise."

"Starlight suddenly dissipated."

"It finally froze at four."

"\"What, only four votes?! \" Rhino widened his eyes, full of disbelief."

"Not only him, but Leaf and Mountain beside him were also shocked."

"\"How could this be possible? \" Rabbit couldn't accept the fact, clenching a silver tooth."

"She looked at the players on the field resentfully."

"She seemed to try to discern from everyone's expressions who hadn't voted for her."

"But the Mask's concealment prevented that."

"Only with a pair of eyes, one cannot see any clue."

"\"Vision Perception seems someone deliberately manipulates the Control Field, \" Xingchen said slowly."

"\"Usually the most popular ones are villains; I hope Miss Rabbit can discern even the slightest detail, \" Su Yang said lightly."

"\"Thief shouting to catch the thief? What a low‑level act! \" Xingchen sneered with a cold Laugh."
