Universe's Ultimate BOSS Chapter 456

Chapter 456: Chapter 455: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey Chapter 456: Chapter 455: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey Borderline.

Odo Star.

The temporary command post constructed by the Human Race.

In one of the meeting rooms, seven old but undying Martial Venerables were holding a meeting.

Among them, Wang Hao recognized three individuals. One was Qiu Dong, the chairman of Skyfire Company. Despite looking sickly, as if he was about to enter a coffin, once he erupted in battle, his combat power was absolutely terrifying.

Otherwise, the Skyfire Company would not have become one of the five greatest powers of the interstellar federation on its own.

The second was Shui Yao, the president of the Potion Guild. This woman appeared gentle and pretty, seemingly incapable of hurting a fly, but when it came to killing, she was absolutely ruthless and bloodless.

The third was Jian Taifeng, an elder who did not establish his own power, but whose swordsmanship was divine and transcended the ordinary. Within the interstellar federation, and even among the entire Human Race, no one dared underestimate him.

At the same time, there were two other elders whom Wang Hao had some relation to, but whom he had never met in person.

One was Xia Dongsheng, Xia Weiwei's biological grandfather, who possessed a domineering and arrogant character. As a member of the High-level Human Race, he was responsible for searching for talented individuals within the interstellar federation and sending them to the High-level Human Race for training. In the interstellar federation, no one dared to provoke him, and Wang Hao was already on his recruitment list.

The second was Elder Chen, the master of Le Xuan and the mentor of Le Yuanguang, as well as an adventurer who held a significant position within the Adventurers' Guild.

There were two others whom Wang Hao did not recognize, but they each had more or less a relationship with the Military Department and the President's office.

One was named Sun Zhou, who, in his younger days, had been a bodyguard for the Guan family and still held a bit of a master-servant affection for them.

Another was named Li Jia, much the same as Sun Zhou; he came from the President's office and had also been a bodyguard.

However, since both had achieved the rank of Martial Venerable, they were very reluctant to mention their past serving as bodyguards.

And the Guan family and the President's office, knowing better, did not dare to bring up the subject. Every time they met, they were extremely respectful and gave ample face to them.

This also inclined their hearts slightly towards the Guan family and the President's office; as long as it was a benefit they could secure for the Military Department and the President's office, they would definitely strive to do so.

The reason for these seven individuals gathering for a meeting was to discuss the disturbances Wang Hao had been causing in the rear and Wang Tianyi's intention to become the President.

“Gentlemen, what's your take on Wang Hao stirring trouble everywhere?” Xia Dongsheng stroked his beard with a smile. He was very fond of Wang Hao's lawless nature and believed arrogance was a trait a man should possess.

At the same time, he was even more eager to bring Wang Hao to join the High-level Human Race so that he could fully exhibit his talents.

Li Jia frowned and said, “Wang Hao is encouraging Wang Tianyi to become President, which is already a major taboo.”

Sun Zhou nodded and added, “Right now, our Human Race should be united externally, but Wang Hao keeps dragging us back. If we do not take strict action, I think the various powers will not be convinced. If discord spreads, it will not serve our interests well.”

Elder Chen stroked his beard, a grave look on his face, and said, “I support their views. Wang Hao is too good at causing trouble, and he does it without regard for the consequences. If the nobility becomes chaotic this time, we'll end up in a passive position.”

“I believe Wang Hao did nothing wrong. You've all seen it, these nobles have indeed been out of line in recent years,” Jian Taifeng snorted.

“Cough, cough…” Qiu Dong coughed, “Our Qiu family is also considered nobility, but you cannot lump us together with the other nobles; we are innocent.”

“You old thing, you actually have the nerve to speak of your own innocence!?” The other six Martial Venerables threw contemptuous glances at him, as if they had discovered a new continent, looking at Qiu Dong.

You should know that although other nobles are ruthless, they absolutely can't outdo Qiu Dong.

The old man, relying on his status as one of the seven Martial Venerables of the interstellar federation, actually monopolized the federation's weapons market.

It irritated the Military Department to the point where they had to cater to the whims of the Qiu family to buy weapons, leaving them seething but powerless to voice their anger.

In the end, having no choice, they could only devise a scheme to entrap Qiu Lei, hoping that Qiu Lei would be imprisoned for life in the Yao Tian Federation; that way, after Qiu Dong's death, the Military Department could reclaim the arms business.

And now this heartless person claimed he was unlike the other nobles, isn't that a bit of a joke!?

“All right, stop arguing,” Shui Yao said helplessly. “If you're thinking of punishing Wang Hao, you might as well forget it. His mother will be arriving soon, and if Wang Hao exaggerates the tale, provoking his mother's displeasure, I'm afraid none of us will get off lightly.”

“She's coming!?”

The six present inhaled sharply. If she truly arrived, they wouldn't dare trouble Wang Hao, not even with ten times the courage.

Besides, given Wang Hao's personality, if they punished him, it's unpredictable how he might retaliate against them, not to mention his mother's formidable background.

“But if we don't punish Wang Hao, how are we supposed to explain it to the nobility!?” Li Jia frowned.

“In my opinion, just do as Wang Hao wishes, let his father become President,” Xia Dongsheng suggested with a smile, thinking to himself that the President's son marrying his granddaughter would be a perfect match.

Sun Zhou shook his head, “We can't disregard the nobles' feelings; otherwise, they will definitely leave the frontline, and the situation will get even murkier.”

Shui Yao sighed. “The situation is already chaotic. Wang Tianyi has always been fighting against the nobility, and was eventually conspired against and sent to Heavenly Demon Star. Now that he and Le Yuanguang have returned in the guise of Martial Venerables, do you think he won't make any moves?”

“Tianyi is a person who takes the overall situation into account; I believe as long as we speak to him reasonably, he definitely won't cause chaos,” Elder Chen said confidently.

“Wang Tianyi does take the overall situation into account, but with Wang Hao egging him on, his thoughts might change,” Jian Taifeng said with a smile while stroking his beard. “I heard that Wang Hao got his hands on five unfinished epic-class carriers from an Alien Race. Once completed, their firepower could match that of over ten Martial Saints. So now Wang Tianyi is being led by the nose by Wang Hao, and the Presidency is practically secured.”

“Over ten Martial Saints!?”

The eyes of everyone present lit up. If they possessed such a formidable weapon, it could completely replace the nobility's role, and then the nobles' emotions wouldn't really matter.

“Actually, I think we should still consider the feelings of the nobility to some extent,” Qiu Dong spoke up.

“How should we consider them?” Elder Chen asked curiously.

After thinking for a moment, Qiu Dong said, “If you ask me, we should use the Commander-in-Chief and the President to set an example, then take the opportunity to reduce some of the nobility's power. Let Wang Tianyi become President. If anyone dares to step out of line, we seven will jointly suppress them. I don't believe anyone would dare make trouble. This way, the nobility will stop causing problems, Wang Hao will be satisfied, and everyone will be happy.”

“I don't think that's acceptable,” Li Jia shook her head repeatedly. “The President has a pivotal role; how can we use it as a warning to others?”

“The position of Commander-in-Chief is very high; you're not killing a chicken here, it seems more like a monkey to me,” Sun Zhou said disdainfully, keenly aware that Qiu Dong, the old man, was seeking revenge for the time Guan Xinxiong strategized against his grandson, Qiu Lei.

“I think it's feasible. Sacrifice two Martial Saints in exchange for two Martial Venerables; it's not a bad deal!” Jian Taifeng raised his hand.

“I also think it's feasible, sacrificing two to stabilize a tumultuous situation,” Elder Chen raised his hand in agreement.

“I've heard that Wang Hao has won over the Ace Army and the Guards. With that, the Commander-in-Chief and the President become mere figureheads, and sacrificing them seems reasonable to me,” Xia Dongsheng raised his hand.

“I agree as well!” Shui Yao raised her hand, inwardly admiring Wang Hao for always having others clean up his messes regardless of the trouble he caused; his luck was simply off the charts…
