The moment they saw that figure, everyone in the meeting room felt their hearts skip a beat, each gripped by their own unrest.
They could clearly see that at the end of the path, the somewhat familiar figure was covered in wounds, her clothes stained with blood.
With this look combined with her being late, even an idiot could tell that something must have happened just now!
Moreover, she was carrying a large black cloth bag slung over her shoulder, containing who knew what.
Considering the impression Bai Feifei usually left on everyone, this was highly unlikely to be anything good...
Everyone was stunned. Wan Qianhong and Ye Yu clutched their phones, their mouths hanging open, and even Liu Yun showed a rare hint of emotion on her face.
As for the heads of the Huang and Li families, along with Liu Qing, their eyes bulged in utter disbelief at the scene before them.
Others might not know, but they knew very well what they had done and what should have happened by now.
They had been absolutely certain that Bai Feifei wouldn't show up, and they had been prepared to deliver their pre-rehearsed lines to the City Lord.
How was this possible?
How could she have escaped?
No... looking at her, it might not just be an escape!
Meanwhile, the City Lord simply sat in his wheelchair with a smile, seemingly completely oblivious to the uneasy atmosphere around him.
With their minds racing, everyone watched in silence as the girl approached, as if waiting for a storm to break.
While those at the pinnacle of Dawn City's power stared at Bai Feifei, she stared right back.
Or rather, Xu Mo was staring at them.
Yes, he had not relinquished control of Bai Feifei yet.
He felt that the upcoming task would be much more satisfying if he handled it himself.
At this moment, the large black cloth bag slung over his shoulder contained eleven severed heads!
He had no habit of leaving survivors, so Yi Jing and all the other assassins sent by the two families were naturally packed inside.
Since it was his first time attending the Voting Assembly, he hadn't known what to bring, so he figured these heads would do. He hoped the people here would appreciate them.
Meanwhile, inside her mind, Bai Feifei quietly gazed at the majestic building before her through her own eyes, feeling somewhat dazed.
Perhaps because her Sanity had dropped too much earlier, her current emotional state was also rather unstable.
Was this the absolute core, the highest center of power in the city she had grown up in?
Not long ago, she had thought she would never have any interaction with the people here in her entire life, and she hadn't even fantasized about what this place looked like.
But now, her "self" was openly carrying a bag of severed heads and walking right toward them, practically looking for trouble.
Looking back, it truly felt like a dream.
“Up ahead are likely the most powerful experts in all of Dawn City,” Bai Feifei murmured softly in her mind.
She knew the Evil God's temperament. Since he hadn't returned her body to her, she doubted this matter would end peacefully.
But was he really going to pick a fight with the entire upper echelon of Dawn City right now?
“None of them are more powerful than me,” Xu Mo sneered, taking large strides forward without stopping.
He didn't care to know what kind of undercurrents flowed beneath their complex power structures. He only knew that since he was here, things would be played by his rules!
Step by step, "Bai Feifei" walked through the main doors, standing before everyone and entering the view of the citizens of Dawn City.
Only when she drew close could all the attendees clearly see that the large bundle on her back seemed to be seeping dark red blood.
Furthermore, as "Bai Feifei" walked in, many could clearly smell the stench of blood!
The faces of quite a few people instantly turned grim.
Wan Qianhong even covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming.
Based on her own ability attributes, she instinctively scanned it, only to realize in an instant what was inside the bag!
Yet the City Lord, Liang Shuguang, acted as though he saw nothing. He simply took a sip of tea and smiled at "Bai Feifei" as he spoke:
“You're here?”
“Why are you late?”
Xu Mo's lips twitched as he spoke:
“Do I look like someone who arrives early?”
With that, he glanced at the surrounding cameras and equipment, smiling as he spoke:
“Heh, so this is still being broadcast live?”
“What primitive equipment. Here's a warning: if you don't turn off the cameras now, you won't have time to regret it later.”
Meanwhile, the viewers who had been waiting at home for a long time finally saw "Bai Feifei" appear, and they all perked up.
“This is truly unexpected. She actually dared to be late for the Voting Assembly, and she even talks to the City Lord like that.”
“It was worth the wait. I knew something interesting would happen if she showed up.”
“Why did she say to turn off the live stream? And what on earth is she carrying on her back?”
...
Meanwhile, Liang Shuguang paid no mind to her warning about turning off the broadcast, nor did he care about the public's reaction. He maintained his previous expression and smiled calmly.
“Oh? It seems something happened on your way here?”
Xu Mo didn't quite understand this City Lord's temperament, but he didn't care either. He simply swept his gaze across the room, taking in everyone's reactions.
On his game panel, their Scavenger levels were displayed one after another. This was the densest concentration of high-level experts Xu Mo had seen since arriving in Dawn City.
Liu Yun's Level 79 was particularly eye-catching.
Interestingly, City Lord Liang Shuguang's level was 69, but it was grayed out, indicating that he was currently in a sealed state.
Having gotten a general idea of the situation, Xu Mo walked up to the massive round table, looked at the twelve representatives seated there, and grinned.
“Why is it that the moment I walked in, some of you looked like your mothers just died?”
“What? Are you surprised to see me make it here alive?”
“Come on, everyone, steel yourselves. Why don't we do a little claiming session?”
With that, a sinister smile played on "Bai Feifei's" face as she swung the bag in her hand, tossing it onto the table in front of her.
The knot untied, and in an instant, the stench of blood filled the entire room. Dark red, foul-smelling blood flowed along the table as eleven severed heads rolled back and forth across its surface.
Despite having braced themselves beforehand, everyone present leaped to their feet in unison!
While everyone there was no stranger to bloodshed, Xu Mo's act of publicly tossing over ten severed heads onto the table during the Voting Assembly was unprecedented.
The shock of such extreme gore and violence left these seasoned veterans' minds temporarily blank.
“Go ahead and claim them. Whose family do these belong to? Surely you won't go back on your word now,” Xu Mo said, thoroughly satisfied with their expressions. He then continued:
“By the way, are you the representative for United Pharmaceuticals?”
