554: The arrival of Liyang

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Heaven Tyrant. Seeing that the other party was bowing his head and unresponsive, he gained a bit more confidence. He even brought up a few old instances of Heaven Tyrant bullying people by relying on his status, emphasizing throughout his words that Heaven Tyrant was “arrogant” and “overbearing,” as if he himself had been an innocent bystander from beginning to end.

This embellished description, compared to Qi Yu’s objective account to Li Yang, clearly carried a lot of personal emotion, but it also vividly portrayed Heaven Tyrant’s arrogance.

Councilor Shenba listened, his face growing darker and darker, and the anger in his eyes when he looked at Heaven Tyrant intensified. If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, he might have already made a move.

Heaven Tyrant, who was left ignored, seemed to have had all his strength drained away. He just sat silently on the cold floor, his hands tightly covering his red and swollen face.

Earth Tyrant’s words pierced his ears like needles, but he no longer had the strength to retort.

At this point, nothing he said mattered. He just felt a blankness in his mind, with only deep despair remaining.

This time, he had truly messed things up.

The bar fell silent for a moment, with only the low voices of Councilor Shenba and Earth Tyrant conversing, and the uniform breathing of the security Team Members. Everyone was waiting for the Chairman of the Longlan Star Cluster to arrive. The air was filled with a heavy, oppressive atmosphere, like a storm brewing... Amidst everyone's eager anticipation, Li Yang finally rushed to Tianlong Luxury Realm with Pal.

Li Yang's posture was tall and straight, his steps steady and powerful, each step demonstrating his dignity and confidence as the Chairman of the Longlan Star Cluster. Pal followed closely behind him.

Seeing Li Yang arrive, Qi Yu's eyes instantly lit up, as if she had seen a guiding light in the darkness.

She ignored everything around her and quickly stepped forward, just about to call out.

"Brother Yang..."

But her voice abruptly stopped.

Li Yang raised his hand, signaling her to be quiet first. Qi Yu immediately understood, obediently closed her mouth, her eyes full of trust, and stepped aside.

Li Yang walked with firm steps, directly approaching Councilor Shenba.

His gaze was sharp, looking directly into Councilor Shenba's eyes, and he said calmly.

"comrade Councilor Shenba..."

Upon seeing this, Councilor Shenba's heart sank, and the originally composed expression on his face instantly showed a trace of panic.

He quickly forced a smile, bowed slightly, and said.

"Councilor Li, please rest assured, I have already educated him. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with comrade Qi Fang."

As Councilor Shenba spoke, he secretly observed Li Yang's expression, trying to find some signals he could interpret on his face.

Meanwhile, Earth Tyrant, although he had already mentally prepared himself, was still incredibly nervous when he saw Li Yang standing right in front of him.

He felt his heart almost leap into his throat, and his hands unconsciously clenched the corner of his clothes, his fingernails nearly digging into his flesh.

He never expected that the first Human Race he met could actually be connected to Li Yang, the Chairman of the Longlan Star Cluster, and it seemed to be no ordinary connection.

Earth Tyrant secretly rejoiced, fortunate that he hadn't clashed with Qi Yu and the others, otherwise there would be one more person on the ground.

"Educated?"

Li Yang’s face instantly became serious, his brows furrowed tightly into a 'Chuan' character, and a hint of anger showed in his eyes.

He raised his voice, enunciating each word clearly.

"Using one's power and background to offend others and restrict personal freedom – is this something that can be resolved with a mere 'education'?

His voice echoed throughout the space, carrying an invisible pressure that made everyone present feel his displeasure and authority.

Hearing this, Councilor Shenba's heart thumped. He knew that this matter would not be easily resolved.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He quickly nodded and bowed, saying.

"Yes, yes, yes, Councilor Li is right to admonish me. Then what do you think should be done?"

At this moment, Councilor Shenba knew very well that offending a Human Race official could be a big or small matter.

On a large scale, it involved trampling upon and destroying the Human Race's relationships and dignity, and the perpetrator might even be sentenced to death. On a small scale, it might just be a verbal warning and some monetary compensation to settle the matter.

And all of this depended entirely on the attitude of the parties involved.

Councilor Shenba could only place his hopes on Li Yang, hoping he would show leniency.

Li Yang did not immediately respond to Councilor Shenba's inquiry. Instead, he slowly turned his head and looked at Qi Yu and Qi Fang with a gentle gaze.

"You two decide how to handle this matter, whether it's severe or lenient, you make the call."

Li Yang knew that the outcome of this matter was of great significance to Qi Yu and Qi Fang. They were the true parties involved and should lead the direction of the situation.

Hearing this, Councilor Shenba's already tense expression instantly became even more anxious.

His gaze quickly shifted from Li Yang, immediately looking towards Qi Yu and Qi Fang.

His mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but he ultimately swallowed his words.

Although he didn't utter a single word, the obvious pleading expression on his face was clear for all to see.

His brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes filled with anxiety and anticipation, and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened due to tension.

After all, Heaven Tyrant was his son, the continuation of his Bloodline.

Moreover, Earth Tyrant had no interest in politics. To put it plainly, his political resources could only be inherited and continued by Heaven Tyrant.

If Heaven Tyrant were unable to enter politics because of this incident, then all the political resources he had accumulated over the years would become useless, and his political ambitions might also come to naught.

Of course, it's like if a main account in a game is ruined, if the alt account doesn't participate, one can still create a new alt account, but how easy would that be? Everything would have to start from scratch.

Qi Yu felt Councilor Shenba's anxious gaze, but she did not respond immediately.

Her gaze slowly fell on Heaven Tyrant's injured face. Heaven Tyrant's cheeks were swollen and red, a trace of blood still lingered at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes revealed a hint of discomfiture and regret.

Qi Yu then turned her head and looked at Qi Fang. Qi Fang's eyes held a trace of calm, but also subtly revealed a hint of weariness.

Qi Yu fell into deep thought, constantly weighing the pros and cons in her mind.

Naturally, she didn't want to cause Li Yang more trouble. As the Chairman of the Longlan Star Cluster, Li Yang was extremely busy, and she didn't want him to expend too much energy on her personal matters.

Furthermore, the Draco Galaxy was, after all, a subordinate Galaxy of the Longlan Star Cluster. They would frequently encounter each other, and if she pushed things too far, it would not only cause Councilor Shenba to lose face but also potentially affect the relationships between Galaxys, which would benefit no one.

After a moment of thought, Qi Yu looked up and said with a firm gaze.

"Brother Yang, let's leave it at that. He already took a punch from Qi Fang, so let's consider it even."

Her voice was clear and decisive, every word revealing her kindness and generosity.

She knew that it was best to forgive when possible; giving others a chance was also creating a more harmonious environment for herself.
