Chapter 38 Choice(1/2)
In the conference room of the Everchanging Workshop family, the air seemed to freeze due to tension.
More than a hundred operators from the Administration were lined up neatly, and the bolt guns in their hands shone coldly in the dim light, adding a bit of chill to the already tense atmosphere.
The bolters of the Authority are all made in Heaven. The muzzles of these bolters are different from the circular openings of traditional firearms. The muzzles of the bolters are slightly flat. The internal device can generate high pressure when fired, making each shot
Bolts can be fired with astonishing speed and accuracy, and can be fired in succession.
When these dark muzzles were aimed at the members of the Everchanging Workshop family, an almost palpable sense of oppression arose spontaneously, as if every breath became a luxury.
The family members faced the cold muzzle of the gun, with anger and fear in their eyes, but more importantly, a sense of uncertainty about their future destiny.
They exchanged glances with each other, looking for support and courage from their companions.
At this moment, time seemed to slow down.
Everyone's breathing was heavy, and every heartbeat reminded everyone present that a decision that might change their fate was about to come.
"Consultant Serena, I think we can sit down and talk about the cooperation between the Everchanging Workshop and the Authority."
In an atmosphere that was so tense that it was almost explosive, the Moon Rabbit's voice revealed a trace of calmness, but it seemed to be unusually strong.
She stepped forward slowly, the [Star Breath] gun in her hand shone silvery under the light, as if it were the brightest star in the night sky, both beautiful and deadly.
With every step she took, the heartbeats of the members of the Everchanging Workshop family seemed to accelerate, and the air was filled with suppressed breathing and nervousness.
Soon, the Moon Rabbit walked into the circle formed by Serena and other family members to show his sincerity.
As a family consultant, Serena's inner conflicts and struggles can be imagined when faced with this situation.
The choice at this moment is related to the fate of the entire Everchanging Workshop family.
Her eyes turned involuntarily to the outside of the conference room, where a fierce fight was taking place between the patriarch and the [Master] of the Administration.
At this moment, she clearly realized that although the confrontation in front of her was full of tension and danger, the real decisive battle was taking place outside, and the fate and actions of the patriarch were the key to whether the entire family could turn around.
Family advisor Serena used her eyes to signal other people not to move. Her gaze was like the calm water, calming the excitement of the people around her. She stepped slowly, each step appearing calm and firm, until she and the bright moon met.
There is only a slight distance left between the rabbits
"I think we should have a good discussion with the administration."
The consultant accepted the Moon Rabbit's suggestion, and then she openly and directly asked the Moon Rabbit:
"What does the Authority want the Protean Workshop to pay?"
At this moment, all the eyes in the conference room were focused on Serena and the Moon Rabbit.
Faced with Serena's direct and firm inquiry, Moon Rabbit's response seemed a bit unexpected.
She shook her head gently, her tone calm but with unquestionable determination: "You are not the main person we are talking to this time."
These words were like a cold arrow, shooting straight into Serena's heart, leaving her slightly stunned.
The Moon Rabbit immediately looked past the family advisor and looked directly at Mira Wanxiang in the crowd.
At this moment, Mira felt unprecedented tension and anxiety.
He clearly realized that if Bright Moon Rabbit disclosed his cooperation with the Bureau at this time, even if he received support from the Bureau to become the leader of the family in the future, he would face resistance and even hatred from family members.
The rift within the family will therefore become more difficult to heal, and his position will become precarious.
Just as Mira's myriad thoughts were intertwined and her heart was as tight as a thin thread on the edge of a cliff, he witnessed the Moon Rabbit speaking again.
But what surprised him was that the name Bright Moon Rabbit read out was not his.
At this moment, the tension in Mira's heart relaxed slightly, but at the same time, he also realized that the development of the matter was far more complicated than he imagined.
With the unmistakable coldness in Moon Rabbit's voice, each name rang out in the heavy air, and each name seemed to be heavily written with solemn ink on the pages of the family's history.
"Estil Change, Marco Wanxiang, Leah Wanxiang..."
Moon Rabbit's voice was unhurried, and every time he read out a name, the person seemed to be tightly held by invisible hands and forced to move towards an unknown destiny.
Immediately after, the Moon Rabbit continued: "Jean Moon Shadow, Selina Moon Shadow..."
More names, and in the process, new faces are constantly coming out of the crowd sadly.
Family advisor Serena's expression changed from shock to anger, then from anger to frustration, and finally she was immersed in a deep sense of powerlessness.
Her eyes were full of accusations and doubts, as if she was questioning the injustice of the world and the future of her family.
Mila Wanxiang's heart was filled with waves of turmoil. As the Moon Rabbit read out more and more names, he felt an unprecedented impact.
At the beginning, those tribesmen who were named seemed to be the target of public criticism, suffering the anger and hatred of other tribesmen.
But as the roll call continued, the mood in the crowd turned from anger to frustration, and then from frustration to numbness. A deep sense of powerlessness and despair spread among the clan members.
On the other hand, every time a new name echoes in the air, Mira's heart will involuntarily tighten.
He originally thought he would be on that list. After all, the secret deals between him and the Authority, the choice that was both for survival and tinged with betrayal, kept him in a state of extreme tension and anxiety.
However, as the list was gradually read out, Mira Wanxiang found that she was not among them.
This unexpected sense of security did not bring him much comfort, but instead aroused more doubts and uneasiness.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He began to question whether this meant that the Authority had another plan for him, or that his value in the eyes of the Authority was far more complicated than he imagined?
When the tribesmen whose names were read walked out one by one and stood on the other side of the crowd, Mira observed the changes in their facial expressions.
From the initial anger and disbelief to the later frustration and numbness, everything is like a mirror, reflecting the emotions deep in Mira's heart that she dare not look directly at.
He realized that both the named tribesmen and himself had become the master's pawn in this power game.
Mira's eyes unconsciously looked outside the conference room, where there was a fierce battle between the patriarch and the administration [master].
What did that battle mean to the family?
What does it mean to him?
While Mira was immersed in confusion, the Moon Rabbit, who had finished reading the list, glanced sideways at the members of the Everchanging Workshop family who were moving closer to the management camp.
Then, she spread her hands, as if to show an irrefutable fact, and asked softly to the family advisor Serena, who looked extremely painful:
"Do you understand now?"
Serena's heart was filled with struggle and helplessness. Facing the Moon Rabbit's question, she could not find any words to refute.
Her eyes aimlessly scanned those members who were labeled as family traitors, and every familiar face seemed to be telling the story of the rifts within the family.
Taking a deep breath, she calmed down her inner vacillation and tried to maintain her final persistence and dignity:
"We are just waiting for the patriarch's order now. As long as the patriarch comes back, all our family members will naturally know what to do."
After listening to Serena's words, the Moon Rabbit did not show too many emotional fluctuations in his expression. He just nodded lightly and noncommittally.
Her answer was simple and direct: "It won't take long."
Serena's heart was as heavy as lead. She knew very well what the patriarch's return meant to the family, but at the same time, she also knew how much they could do in the face of such a huge and decisive force like the Administration, even if the patriarch really came back.

**********
Outside the conference hall.
The battle between the high-end combat power of the Administration and the Everchanging Workshop family is also at a critical and intense stage.
The patriarch Elwin fell into an unprecedented predicament. Around him, huge glass crystal pillars were like swords of judgment falling from the sky, coldly and ruthlessly nailing the Chimera's limbs.
These glass pillars were in the shape of nails, each up to fifteen meters high. They not only physically restricted Chimera's movement, but also dealt him a huge mental blow.
The space around the Chimera is surrounded by these huge nails, forming an inescapable cage.
Every time he struggles, these glass nails will penetrate further into his body, causing bone-chilling pain and more serious injuries.
"Hoo~ho~ho~"
Elwin's body under the Chimera already looked extremely tired and weak.
He clutched his chest, his heavy breathing mixed with painful gasps.
The damage suffered by the avatar was reflected back on him in an indescribable way, causing green jelly-like liquid to appear on his limbs, making it increasingly difficult to maintain his human form.
At this moment, Elwin was facing not only severe physical pain, but also the heavy psychological burden of being the patriarch of the ever-changing workshop family.
He understands that his struggle is not only for personal survival, but also for the future of the ever-changing Workshop family.
However, when the enemy's power far exceeded expectations, Elwin felt not only pain, but also deep helplessness and despair.
The fate of the ever-changing workshop family hangs by a thread.
At this moment, the old patriarch felt unprecedented isolation and despair.
The cage made of huge glass nails made him unable to move, and pain and depression filled every breath.
Just as he was struggling in this powerless situation, trying to find even a glimmer of possibility to break the situation, an unexpected voice came softly through the air, and the voice sounded full of childishness.
"Elwin Wanxiang, the Administration does not want to be an enemy of the Everchanging Workshop."
This voice is young and clear, like the voice of a boy in his early teens or early thirties, but with a maturity and depth beyond his age.
The patriarch's eyes followed the direction of the sound. In the cold mirror, it seemed that another world was slowly unfolding.
Countless mirrors appeared before his eyes, each one seemed to be telling a different story.
