Chapter 365 362. Sincere questioning (a million words~)

Ma En asked curiously:

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

Tang Xueluan replied:

"The reasons for this are extremely complicated, but there are two main reasons. First, the advisory department was created for high-level ability users like Taoist Xiaoyao and Mr. Zhao who are not really affiliated with the federation. Of course, you are also part of this plan.

One of the goals.

"But among these people, Xiaoyao can be said to be one of the most valued by the federation. Although his value cannot be compared with Mr. Zhao, the relationship between Mr. Zhao and us is already quite good, and Taoist Xiaoyao is not.

We are in a delicate relationship.

"It is precisely because of this that the Federation actually took the opportunity to get in touch with him, because he actually has some of the things that the Federation desires most, and they hope to take those things out of Xiaoyao's pocket through the Advisory Department."

Man said:

"This reason doesn't sound particularly reliable."

Tang Xueluan nodded:

"If it was just because of this, then I would feel the same way, but the Federation definitely did not arrange him here casually. There is another very important and reasonable reason why they let Taoist Xiaoyao participate in this matter, and that is that he is still here.

Has certain prophetic abilities.

"Although he is not an expert in this field and cannot compare with a strong person like Shen Xiao, Taoist Xiaoyao's ability is also very valuable to our negotiations with Shen Xiao, and he has researched the nature and operation of prophecies.

, although for confidentiality reasons we did not let him participate in the original plan to deal with Shen Xiao, but after Shen Xiao was imprisoned, we often asked him about prophecies.

"Xiaoyao and his understanding of the essence of prophecy can also be used in this negotiation. He has joined forces with Mr. Zhao and several other scholars in the institute who are responsible for this field, and he can provide a perspective that we do not have.

.

"So it actually makes sense for him to be chosen."

Man said:

"Listen to what you said, in fact, they may not even bother us on the surface."

Tang Xueluan agreed:

"That's right, Xiaoyaodao may just have resentment against you. After all, his way of helping us in turn is a bit too weird, so weird that he seems to have some agenda. Moreover, this guy is a bit elusive to us, plus

He is powerful and dangerous, so we still have to be alert enough to him in advance to avoid any serious trouble.

"Kania is not a threat, she just might give us a little stumbling block. You just need to pay a little attention to her.

"What I want to talk about next is the most troublesome guy. In fact, when we put you in, we also encountered some resistance from neoliberal members. But because we had good reasons, their obstruction

It doesn't really have any effect.

"It's not actually what they think of you, it's just that members of the neoliberal faction want to oppose all our actions."

Ma En asked:

"So there's a politician in the negotiating camp?"

She nodded:

"Yes, actually I can be considered a representative of the Rongbang faction, and even 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 see if we

Pleasant to the eyes.

"And the person they sent was Shen Zongdao, who has been in the limelight internally recently. Before Shenxiao's defeat, he was the senior executive of the Supervision Department. After the Supervision Department was disbanded and merged into the Investigation Department, he became the head of the Investigation Department.

of high-rise.

"Now his status is only lower than that of high-level ability users like Shadow. Although it stands to reason that the status of a top-level ability user like you should be on an equal footing with politicians like him, in fact, because you are ours, you cannot directly enjoy the benefits of the Federation.

status.

"Secondly, Shin Zongdao's identity is not only a senior executive of the Investigation Department, but he is also a neoliberal politician. And judging from his deeds in recent years, we estimate that he is likely to get a big job in the near future.

Seats in the House of Representatives.”

This is more important than Tang Xueluan's other descriptions of Shen Zongdao. You must know that the entire Shu family only has six seats in the federation, and the reform faction that originally wanted to win over Ma En only has 23 seats, and even the entire Rongbang family has only 23 seats.

There are only one hundred and eighty-seven places in the pie.

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

And because various factions are eager for parliamentary positions, these parliamentarians are likely to have far more influence than they should have.

"So this is the guy I should pay attention to the most?" Ma En asked.

Tang Xueluan nodded:

"Yes, but even he doesn't have to worry too much. Most politicians will be measured in their actions when fighting internally. And in fact, he may not really bring us any trouble. As long as you perform reasonably well in negotiations,

He has no excuse against us, and if you can successfully reach any of the conditions I just mentioned with Shenxiao, then he will obediently shut his mouth in front of us.

"And I believe you can definitely handle Shen Xiao."

Man said:

"You trust me a little too much, and I don't have any confidence in this. If I hadn't asked for help from the Federation and you, I wouldn't have accepted such a difficult proposal."

Tang Xueluan smiled:

"You can feel unsure, but I also firmly believe in my judgment of you."

After getting to know these temporary "colleagues", Tang Xueluan finally brought Ma En to the preparation room before the negotiation, then directly opened the door and led him into the empty living room.

And when she opened the door, what caught Ma En's eyes were various federal members walking around. Among them, there were a few familiar figures sitting in the middle of the entire preparation hall. Other federal members

In ten years, they will be spread out evenly around them, each responsible for the work at hand, and frequently exchange information with several people in the center.

The peripheral members all seemed to come from different departments. There were researchers who looked similar to Kania, there were also ability users from the Investigation Department that Marn was familiar with, and there were also some civilian staff that he had seen in federal buildings.

The most conspicuous ones were a few guys who didn't seem to be doing anything. After looking at them for a moment, Ma En realized that they were actually federal politicians.

Among the members of the center were Zhao Guanwu, Yingying, and Kania, figures he was particularly familiar with. There were also two people he had never met before, but he could match them perfectly based on Tang Xueluan's description just now.

One of them is an old man with an immortal spirit...

wrong.

Ma En blinked and looked at the "old man" again, suddenly noticing that his face didn't seem to have any signs of aging, but just looking at him couldn't tell his actual age well, and if you didn't pay special attention,

If so, it would be easy to hallucinate this fifth-level ability user with extraordinary temperament as an old man, and it seems that he should be an old man.

And although Ma En was somewhat unable to tell his age, the old man's face was not difficult to see clearly as if he was taking advantage of his cognitive impairment. On the contrary, it was a very extraordinary and easy-to-recognize face, but Ma En could not pass through this.

His appearance is judged by his face.

And unlike other level V ability users, just by looking at Xiaoyao Ma En, you can feel that he is a very strong level V ability user. Although some ability users may look quite extraordinary, they are definitely not as obvious as him. In the end,

The strange thing is that Xiaoyao also makes him feel a little restrained.

Next to him was a man in his thirties. His face was calm and peaceful, but his eyes were sharp, and the whole thing gave Ma En an extraordinary feeling. But when he stood among these people,

At that time, the originally slightly outstanding temperament became extremely mediocre.

After all, those around him and Kania were all true Level V ability users. When next to these powerful people, no matter how outstanding their achievements in their own fields were, they would still look dwarfed by them.

After they took a few steps inside, Shadow first looked up at Ma En, and then several other people glanced at them one after another, and then they all turned their eyes away and focused on their work.

Only Shen Zongdao looked at them with an indifferent expression for a few seconds, but he did not show any emotion immediately.

Tang Xueluan took Ma En and sat down at an empty table closer to them, then whispered:

"We'll wait here."

Although the Shu family inserted them into the second negotiation, they will definitely not be the leading members of this negotiation. Although the work contract can prevent him from harming the interests of the federation, after all, Ma En still has the special status of a former member of the Salvation Alliance.

.

However, they did not wait long, because Shen Zongdao soon got up and walked to their table, and then sat down directly opposite Ma En and Tang Xueluan without any courtesy. Then he raised his head and glanced at them.

He looked at Ma En expressionlessly and said:

"Are you the traitor to the Salvation Alliance?"

Ma En replied calmly:

"The term traitor is not accurate."

Shen Zongdao chuckled coldly:

"Oh, so you are an undercover agent?"

Tang Xueluan said with dissatisfaction:

"Shen Zongdao, if you have any opinions, you can report them directly to the federation. There is no need to be clever in front of us."

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

"Huh? Why are you so anxious?" A deliberately exaggerated look of suspicion appeared on Shen Zongdao's face, "Is it possible that he really has some shameful secret, and it involves you? Otherwise, why should he be afraid of the shadow?

?

"Why do you need to be nervous?"
