Chapter 268 Confidante
Next, the first-rate forces from all parties took the stage to give speeches, with each person having a maximum of 5 minutes, for a total of 45 parties. Some forces refused to take the stage, or only spoke a few words. Most of them were the middle-of-the-roaders.

On the contrary, the forces determined by their positions spoke for a full five minutes, and the words were so passionate that opponents even pointed out that someone was destroying the foundation of the country. How could a system that has existed for hundreds of years be changed so easily? The aristocratic families have co-governed the country for thousands of years.

Secret voice transmission or mobile phone communications continued in the audience, asking for the opinions of the pillars of the family.

Yuzuru Nagayama was really surprised when he looked at the woman sitting on the stage. He didn't expect to encounter such an important historical event in his first participation in the Hundred Sages' Meeting. And Mochizuki Kikyo was obviously well prepared. The top forces with different opinions were evenly divided, with four in favor and four against, so the situation did not become one-sided.

However, judging by the number of people who have come to the stage to express their opinions, the chances of it being passed are very small, and the number of people in favor of the first-tier forces will not reach 60%.
Yuzuru Nagayama thought about it for more than ten minutes and discussed it with his allies. In the end, he decided to contact Kikyo Mochizuki through secret voice transmission. With such an interesting development, how could he not intervene? The little finger in a certain film and television drama was right, chaos is the ladder to rise.

"Ms. Kikyo, do you want to make a deal?"

Kikyo, who had been resting with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the person who had sent the message and answered.

"What deal do you want to make with me?"

"I can vote for you at least 9 times, and I can even guide public opinion, but you have to promise me something."

Mochizuki Kikyo's eyes suddenly flickered. This man was able to cast 9 votes in favor. Apart from himself and the Toyotomi family, could there be other allies?

The vote of a provisional member counts as only one vote, the vote of a full member counts as three votes, and the vote of a standing member counts as nine votes, for a total of 3 votes.

Mochizuki Kikyo's tone became a little more serious.

"How do you want to cooperate?"

"I want you to use your last days as speaker to help me establish a key tie between Longteng TV and the Demon Hunting Association, such as exclusive broadcasting rights, live broadcast rights, and access rights."

"."

Mochizuki Kikyo felt that this man was really dreaming. As a person who promoted the Demon Hunting Association, she certainly knew the importance of the media in the future. The other party wanted to use 9 votes to get the fat piece of meat. Even if she was willing to agree, her temporary ally would not agree, so she asked the other party to take a step back.

"You want too much."

Yuzuru Nagayama smiled slightly and thought that the bargaining was reasonable.

"We can continue talking, but I guess you don't have much time."

Mochizuki Kikyo confirmed that the other party only mentioned it near the end, with the purpose of putting pressure on her to stop procrastinating. It was obvious that Nagayama Yuzuru succeeded.

"Except for the fact that there is no exclusive, I can promise you the other things."

"make a deal."

Soon, the speeches of all parties were over, and finally it was the turn of the new member, Yuzuru Nagayama. He could have just finished speaking a few words, but Yuzuru Nagayama didn't think so, and instead decided to help the topic to increase its intensity.

This is something I discussed with Hoshino Saeko. Not long ago, Hoshino Saeko was shocked when she heard the information about Yuzuru Nagayama. It was too crazy and too bold, but she was finally willing to help revise the manuscript.

Yuzuru Nagayama looked around at the people below the stage and shocked everyone with his first sentence.

"Everyone, I heard that the gods in the inner world have some disagreements. One group of gods thinks that it is best to let the present world be swallowed by the inner world, because they don't want to waste their energy in the present world, and the inner world is the real future. The other group of gods thinks that the present world cannot be abandoned, it is their root. But now that the boundary wall has been cut, do you still have a choice? If you don't change, you will be swallowed by the inner world. Think about your strength. Do you really think you can stay safe in the inner world?"

"."

Everyone looked at the person on the stage with eager eyes, some of them gradually looked shocked. Even for a thousand-year-old fox, this news was too shocking.

They didn't know whether the news was true or not, but the gods' abandonment of the present world caused panic among some people. If the present world was to be gone, was it still necessary to maintain the interests of the aristocratic families?

As for the present world being annexed by the inner world, it is frightening to think about it. The information of the inner world is not a secret. In their eyes, it is just a new world full of demons and even some indescribable monsters.

You can live a comfortable life if you have the ability, but it is not a good idea to support your family.

Only a few people at the scene managed to keep their composure, such as the old patriarch of the Hanakaiin Onmyoji family. He had also heard some rumors about the gods' disagreement, but he was not sure.

As a royal family descended from Amaterasu, Shangren was shocked, but an old man beside him showed a meaningful expression. This young man was really bold, actually saying such a big thing, could he have heard it from the so-called Dragon King?
Mochizuki Kikyo, who was on the stage at the same time, finally showed surprise. Not only was she surprised by the news, she was also shocked by the man's behavior of watching the fun and making trouble. He directly added fuel to the fire at the hot scene. Wasn't he afraid that things would get out of control?

For example, some forces may surrender to foreign entities. There are too many unpredictable possibilities.

Seeing everyone's expressions change interestingly, Yuzuru Nagayama didn't intend to say more.

"Everyone, I just feel that if we continue to maintain the status quo, the world will be over sooner or later. This year, the boundary wall was cut, and next year, a similar major event will happen. Can you stop it? Think about the Buddha Mother incident that happened next to the royal territory, and I, a newcomer, need to deal with it. It's really terrifying to think about it. Thank you, everyone. I'm done."

After Yuzuru Nagayama left the stage, the crowd below the stage started talking as if they were in a vegetable market. Some people had originally insisted on rejecting the Demon Hunter Association's plan, but were shaken to their core by a piece of news whose authenticity was unknown. Should they change or not? If they didn't change, would they really be waiting to die?
Soon it was time to vote, and all the councillors made their choices at the same time. The result confirmed how much of an impact Yuzuru Nagayama's words had. 156 votes in favor, 91 against, and 18 abstentions.

The resolution was passed and the Demon Hunting Association was officially established. Three days later, all members of the first-class forces formed an association committee. In the next half month, branches of the Demon Hunting Association were built across the country, and the existence of the association was publicized. The official would also provide unconditional support.

Faced with the overwhelming fact of success, Mochizuki Kikyo couldn't help but smile, as beautiful as a blooming snow lotus. At the same time, she sent a message to the great hero of this event. Although it was messy, it was indeed very effective.

"I'll send someone to talk to you about cooperation tomorrow."

"it is good."

Next, when it came to the topic of resource development in the inner world, Yuzuru Nagayama just watched without saying anything the whole time, silently listening to how some forces obtained extraordinary minerals, those forces obtained some treasures, and even went to war with the demon tribe in the inner world.

Anyway, the Dragon King's power has not yet developed to its full potential in the real world, so he will not participate in the affairs of the inner world. He will not go even if someone invites him. Instead, he hopes that more people will rush to the inner world, so that he can take advantage of the power vacuum in the real world.

As for the future candidate for the Dragon King Shrine stationed in the Hundred Sages Association, he already has a suitable choice.

Kyoka Tachibana was originally a senior member of the Countermeasures Bureau and had already proven her ability to handle affairs. She was definitely several levels higher than deputy ministers like Saeko Hoshino.

In addition, as for the seal in her body, Yuzuru Nagayama has almost understood it and is 9% sure of breaking it.

The entire Hundred Sages Meeting took most of the day and finally ended. Originally, Yuzuru Nagayama wanted to build a relationship with Kikyo Mochizuki, but the other party just left without giving him any chance.

Seeing this, Yuzuru Nagayama had no choice but to have dinner with Hideta Toyotomi and Juichi Sakai, and discuss the cooperation matters from Tokyo Bay to Suruga Bay. As long as the three parties cooperated, it would not be difficult to monopolize the shipping between the two places.

The restaurant they decided to go to was the one that the Takeuchi sisters opened together at Ryukun Shrine, and Hoshino Saeko was also brought along.

The restaurant is located in the food street at the foot of Longshan Mountain. Although it is not big and the prices are expensive, it is still packed with customers. The three-star chef is enough to make people linger.

On the third floor of the VIP restaurant, two seventh-level warriors were quite curious about why Yuzuru Nagayama brought a Countermeasures Bureau garrison commander with him. When asked, someone just held Hoshino Saeko's hand and spoke lightly.

"She's the woman I like."

Like it?
The two old foxes instantly understood the meaning of his words, which was that Hoshino Saeko might not like him.

The person involved, Hoshino Saeko, was shy at first, but then she admitted it generously.

"Hello, two seniors. I am Yuzuru's good friend."

Yuzuru Nagayama added.

"soulmate."

Hoshino Saeko rolled her eyes at the man holding her hand, and finally admitted it.

"That's it."

Toyotomi Hideta shook his head. He really couldn't understand the young people's thoughts. What confidante? If it was his confidante, he would have married her home and taken care of her long ago. Why would he still be hesitating and testing each other here?

Yuzuru Nagayama also wanted to, but the reason that there were too many women was a hurdle that Hoshino Saeko could not overcome.

The three of them chatted while tasting the extraordinary cuisine that was famous in the Ryukun Shrine. It was really unheard of that there were more than ten special restaurants in the shrine food court.

Toyotomi Hideta was shocked when he looked around Longshan. What a blessed place it was. The spiritual energy was so rich that he had never seen it before. Even the secret realm of the royal family could not compare to it.

"Yuzuru-kun, your Longshan is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I want to live here forever."

Yuzuru Nagayama smiled and said.

"You can stay here. If you're interested, Sakai-senpai can stay longer."

Of course the two allies refused. Living in someone else's territory for a long time is always an irrational decision.

In the evening, after having a good meal and a few drinks, the group finally dispersed. Hoshino Saeko chatted with Takeuchi Airi's best friend, and Nagayama Yuzuru decided not to get involved and planned to go to the Tachibana family's old house.

Today is Kyoka Tachibana's rest day, so she went back to accompany her two daughters.

An ordinary vehicle slowly drove into the old house of the Tachibana family. As expected of a family that was once a top-notch force, it was a truly ancient building. Of course, it now belonged to Yuzuru Nagayama and was only temporarily loaned to the mother and daughter of the Tachibana family.
