Chapter 365 362. Sincere questioning (million words ~)

Marn asked curiously:

"But since Taoist Xiaoyao is such a dangerous character, why do you want to ask him to conduct this negotiation?"

Tang Xueluan replied:

"The reasons for this are particularly complicated, but there are two main reasons. First of all, the establishment of the consulting department is for high-level abilities like Xiaoyao Taoist and Zhao Lao who are not really affiliated with the Federation. Of course, you are also one of the goals of this plan.

"But Xiaoyao can be said to be one of the most valued people among these people. Although his value cannot be compared with Zhao Lao, the relationship between Zhao Lao and us is already quite good, while Taoist Xiaoyao was originally in a subtle relationship with us.

"It is precisely because of this that the Federation actually took the opportunity to contact him, because he actually had some of the things that the Federation desires the most, and they really hoped to take out those things from Xiaoyao's pocket through the advisory department."

Maren said:

"This reason doesn't sound particularly reliable."

Tang Xueluan nodded:

"If it's just because of this, I would feel the same way, but the Federation certainly did not arrange him here casually. There is another very important and reasonable reason for them to let Xiaoyao Taoist participate in this matter, that is, he still has a certain ability to predict.

"Although he is not an expert in this field and cannot be compared with a strong man like Shenxiao, the ability of Xiaoyao Taoist is also very valuable for our negotiations with Shenxiao. He has studied the nature and operation of prophecy. Although we did not allow him to participate in the original plan to deal with Shenxiao for confidentiality, after Shenxiao was imprisoned, we often ask him for questions about prophecy.

"Xiaoyao and his understanding of prophecy to the essence can also be used in this negotiation. He and Mr. Zhao and several other scholars in the research institutes who are specialized in this field work together, and he can provide a perspective that we do not have.

"So it's really reasonable that he was selected."

Maren said:

"I heard you say that, in fact, they may not cause trouble for us on the surface."

Tang Xueluan agreed:

"Yes, Xiaoyaodao may just be resentful to him. After all, the way he helped us in turn was a bit weird, so strange that it seemed to have some intentions. Moreover, this guy was a bit elusive to us. Coupled with his powerful and dangerous power, we still had to keep alert to him in advance to avoid any serious trouble.

"And Kaniya is not a threat, she may just stumbling us, you just need to pay attention to her.

"What I want to talk about next is the most troublesome guy. In fact, when we put you in, we were also subject to some resistance from neoliberal members, but because we had sufficient reasons, their obstruction did not really have any effect.

"It's not actually what they think of you, it's just that the members of the pure neoliberals have to oppose all our actions."

Mar En asked:

"So there is a politician in the negotiating camp?"

She nodded:

"Yes, I can actually be considered a representative of the Rongbang faction, and you can barely be considered one of us, so the neoliberals will definitely send their people to participate in this negotiation, and they will definitely dislike us.

"And what they sent was Shen Zongdao, who was in the limelight in the internal affairs recently. Before Shen Xiao was defeated, he was a senior executive of the Supervision Department. After the Supervision Department was dissolved and merged into the Investigation Department, he became a senior executive of the Investigation Department.

"Now his status is only as high-level abilities as Shadow. Although in fact, the status of a top-level abilities like you should be on par with a politician like him, in fact, because you are our people, you cannot directly enjoy the status of the federal government.

"Secondly, Shin Zongdao's identity is not only a senior executive of the Investigation Department, but also a neoliberal politician. Judging from his deeds in recent years, we estimate that he is likely to receive a seat in the Grand House soon."

This is more important than Tang Xueluan's other descriptions of Shen Zongdao. You should know that the entire Shu family has only six seats in the federal government. The reformist faction who originally wanted to win over Marx and Engel had only twenty-three seats, and even the entire Rongbang faction had only one hundred and eighty-seven seats.

Judging from the entire federal and federal government, this number is actually quite small - so that even a change in position is not a trivial matter within the federal government.

Moreover, due to the desire of various factions for the position of parliamentarians, these parliamentarians are likely to have an influence that is far beyond their original level.

"So this is the guy I should pay attention to?" asked Maren.

Tang Xueluan nodded:

"Yes, but even he doesn't have to worry too much. Most politicians will be able to act in a proper way during internal struggles, and in fact, they may not really cause us any trouble. As long as you act fairly well in negotiations, they will not have an excuse to target us. If you can successfully meet any of the conditions I just mentioned with Shenxiao, he will shut up in front of us obediently.

"And I believe you can definitely handle Shenxiao."

Maren said:

"You have a little too much trust in me, and I have no confidence in this. If I had not requested the Federation and you, I would not have accepted such a difficult proposal."

Tang Xueluan smiled:

"You may feel that you are not sure, but I also firmly believe in my judgment of you."

After learning about these temporary "colleagues", Tang Xueluan finally brought Ma En to the pre-negotiation preparation room, then pushed open the door and took him into the empty living room inside.

When she pushed open the door, what caught Mar En's eyes were various federal members walking around, and several familiar figures were sitting in the middle of the entire preparatory hall. Other federal members scattered evenly with them for ten years, each responsible for their own work, and frequently exchanged information with several people in the center.

The members of the peripherals all seem to come from different departments, including researchers who look similar to Cania, as well as investigative personnel who are familiar with Marx and Ne. There are also some civilians he has seen in federal buildings. The most conspicuous are a few guys who seem to be not doing things. After looking at them for a while, Marx and Ne realized that they are actually federal politicians.

The members of the center include Zhao Guanwu, shadow, and Kaniya, who are particularly familiar with him. There are also two people whom he has never seen before, but can meet perfectly with Tang Xueluan's description just now.

One of them is an old man with a fairy spirit...

wrong.

Mar En blinked and looked at the "old man". Suddenly he noticed that his face did not seem to have any characteristics of aging, but just gaze could not distinguish his actual age well. Moreover, if he did not concentrate particularly, it would be easy to visualize this extraordinary level V-level abilities person as an old man, and he seemed to be an old man.

Moreover, although Mar En couldn't tell his age, the old man's face was not as difficult to see clearly as if he had used cognitive impairment. On the contrary, it was Zhang Shifeifan's easy-to-recognize face, but Mar En could not judge his appearance through this face.

And unlike other V-level abilities, just looking at Xiaoyao Ma En, you can feel that he is a very strong V-level abilities. Although some abilities also look quite extraordinary, they are definitely not as obvious as him. The most strange thing is that Xiaoyao also makes him feel a little restrained.

There was a man in his thirties next to him. His face was calm and peaceful, but his eyes were still sharp, and the overall feeling also gave Ma En a sense of extraordinary talent. However, when he stood among these people, his temperament, which was originally slightly prominent, became extremely mediocre.

After all, he and Kaniya are all real level V abilities. When they are by these strong people, no matter how outstanding they have made in their own field, they will appear to be pale.

After they walked a few steps inside, Shadow looked up at Mar En, and then the others glanced at them one after another, and then they all turned their eyes back to focus on their work.

Only Shen Zongdao looked at them with a cold expression for a few more seconds, but he did not immediately show any emotions.

Tang Xueluan took Ma En to an empty table close to them and sat down cross-legged, then whispered:

"We'll wait here."

Although the Shu family inserted them into the second negotiation, they would definitely not be the leading members of the negotiation. Although the work contract could prevent him from damaging the interests of the federal government, Marx and Ang had a special identity as a former member of the Savior League.

However, they didn't wait long, because soon Shen Zongdao got up and walked to their table, then sat down directly opposite Ma En and Tang Xueluan without hesitation, then raised his head and looked at them a few times.

He looked at Marne expressionlessly and said:

"You're the traitor of the Savior League?"

Mar En replied calmly:

"The name traitor is not accurate."

Shen Zongdao chuckled coldly:

"Ha, so you're an undercover agent?"

Tang Xueluan said with dissatisfaction:

"Shen Zongdao, if you have any opinions, you can report to the federal government directly, and you don't have to throw your cleverness in front of us."

Shen Zongdao turned his head and looked at him, then deliberately showed a somewhat surprised expression, as if he had never thought that Tang Xueluan would dare to call him by his name, but Tang Xueluan knew very well that this was just a way for him to express his contempt.

"Hmm? Why are you so anxious?" Shen Zongdao's face showed a deliberate and exaggerated suspicion, "Can he really have any shameful secrets, and it also involves you, otherwise why should he be afraid of his shadow being slanted?

"What's the need for you to be nervous?"

But Tang Xueluan is not a vegetarian either:

"We are here to help with the negotiations, and Marx has made great contributions to our Federation. You should not come here to test him like an interrogator. This is a great disrespect for Marx.

“Do you want other members who join the advisory department to think this is the way the federal government treats new members?”

Shen Zongdao said indifferently:

“The advisory department was not built to attract members of the Savior League.”

Speaking of this, he looked at Marx again, and then commented on him:

"You did something pretty good some time ago, but after all, you're just lucky. If we want to, we can definitely find a guy who can replace you. Anyway, you are the guy we found from the outside.

"And your results are nothing until now, because your victory is not only meaningless, but it is also likely that the reason why Atlantis is now.

"And it's hard to say that your opponent may not have planned to win, because the current situation is what they want to see, so your victory is not only of no use, but may even be not real."

Then he paused again, and then showed a hypocritical look:

"Of course, I will not deny that you are a very good person. If you are willing to play for the Federation, then we are naturally welcome, but this matter is indeed a bit sensitive, and as a member of the Federation, I cannot be cautious about you.

"You are a member of the Savior League, and the one we are responsible for the dialogue is the Shenxiao who must not make any mistakes."

Tang Xueluan immediately fired back:

“He is a former member of the Savior League, and the Savior League has long been dissolved.

"And this identity is exactly why he will be here. Mar En and I want to use this identity to gain the trust of Shenxiao. Don't you believe in the great protection measures of our Federation? Are you worried about what a Level IV abilities like him can do?

"I think you must be very clear. The information you gave to Marx is specially screened. We cannot use the information you gave us to harm the interests of the federal government. In my opinion, you are just making excuses to harass us."

Shen Zongdao sneered, then asked with a cold look:

"Is that right? You mean I can fully trust this follower of Shenxiao, a criminal who killed countless members of the investigation department, do you know how many times I attended the funeral of my colleagues? Do you want me to believe him? I would rather hand this job over to a wild dog.

"And you said he could help, but if he really betrayed Shenxiao as you said, how could he provide useful help to us? It is impossible for us to betray her, so in my opinion...

"His purpose must be to take this opportunity to do something that is good for Shenxiao, and it is impossible to achieve any results."

Tang Xueluan said:

"He is indeed not the kind of guy who will betray Shenxiao, but the Shu family has its own way..."

But Shen Zongdao's emotions became even more excited:

"I know you promised him a rank V abnormal item. Do you hear me say something? You are going to give a rank V item of a member of the Savior Alliance. Even if he really let Shen Xiao agree to the conditions, do you think that is a good thing for us?

"How can you guarantee that Marx will not use this weapon you gave him to slaughter our poor fellow countrymen in the future?"
