Chapter 2664: Elder Leo, Did You Give Her the Power?

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

The conflict between the direct descendant of the Ji family and the Empress had nothing to do with him. He only stood on the Church’s side to strive for the greatest benefits.

Now, the Empress and the Radical Faction had offered him more generous terms.

In that case, it was very normal for him not to let Qiao Nian enter the Privy Council.

A minute passed in the blink of an eye.

The meeting began.

Someone presided over the meeting outside. Usually, such a meeting would have a 10-minute-long opening speech, during which everyone would remain silent.

Then, it’d be time for both sides to express their opinions.

Quentin stretched his body and leaned back in his seat. He was bored and just going through the process.

Soon, the person in charge of the meeting finished his opening speech. Then, Leonard walked up amidst the applause.

He took his drafted speech and stood on the stage. Then, he began to passionately describe Qiao Nian t s various shortcomings and flaws.

In the end, he indeed focused on the fact that she was an Easterner.

“As everyone knows, our Privy Council has never taken in Easterners. They are cunning and have no faith or principles. We should not let such inferior and hypocritical people enter such a sacred place.

“Moreover, she hasn’t explained clearly how and why she helped Country Z steal technology. I believe everyone has their own judgment!

“That’s all I have to say. Please come up, Elder Xue.”

After saying that, he even took the initiative to clap.

The silver-haired old man walked up gracefully under everyone’s gaze. His hands were empty. He did not even bring his drafted speech like Leonard. Instead, he walked up easily.

Then, after adjusting the microphone’s height, he looked around the venue and smiled humbly. “l don’t agree with Elder Leo’s racial theory.”

There was an uproar below the stage. They did not expect him to directly slap the other’s face and object to the previous person’s opinion.

Leonard had just gotten off the stage. His face darkened, but he curled his lips in disdain. “You overestimate yourself.”

The silver-haired old man ignored the discussion below. “I want everyone to see something.”

He got someone to bring up the laptop he had brought with him. Then, he operated the mouse and projected a screenshot on the huge curtain.

“l have my doubts about the dirt that Elder Leo mentioned just now.

“If a person’s counterparts rely on rumors to defame her, I’ll only be more certain that she’s outstanding enough to make her opponents unable to find a single catch to defame her!

“Also, I have another question.

“The Empress is indeed the reclusive families’ symbol, but if I remember correctly, whether an outsider family can enter the ranks of the reclusive families requires the Privy Council to review and vote on it layer by layer. Who gave an outsider who isn’t from the reclusive families the right to make promises to outsiders from the independent continent!

“She’s not even in the Privy Council yet, and she’s already making decisions for us. Who gave her the confidence?”

Elder Xue’s silver-white hair was combed neatly behind his head. He looked at the radicals with a dignified expression and calmly asked, “Elder Leo, did you give her the power?”

The Conservatives dropped a bombshell, catching the Empress and the Radicals off guard, and the meeting was suspended for discussion.

“I’m going out for a while.” Leonard’s face was dark as he waved his hand and said in a low voice to the helpless crowd beside him.

Everyone on the Radical Faction’s side was dumbfounded by Elder Xue’s hammer. Everyone looked at one another, feeling uncertain.

No one stopped Leonard from going out..
