Bai Ye’s words, spoken neither too loudly nor too softly, brought the entire National Assembly Hall to silence once more. The crackling sound of ice forming made their scalps tingle, and the approaching chilling cold caused their bodies to tremble uncontrollably.
This ice can freeze us to death in an instant! Seeing the ice spreading slowly towards them, everyone immediately backed away.
Who gave the order? Of course, it was a unanimous decision by all of them. However—the one who directly issued the command was someone else!
Dozens of assembly members were forced into a corner with nowhere left to retreat. The unfortunate Korean assembly member in front, seeing the ice about to reach his legs, pointed without hesitation at the Deputy President of Korea, who stood frozen in fear.
"It was him!"
Where there is one, there are others! The other assembly members in front, seeing their lives were in danger, also raised their hands and pointed at the Deputy President with absolute certainty.
"That's right! He gave the order!"
"He is our Vice President! President Han Jae-in and Miss Han have both been imprisoned by him!"
"Yes, yes! It was him, it was him!"
As they desperately shouted out the 'inside story', the ice beneath their feet stopped.
The assembly members in front, who felt as though they had just walked back from the gates of hell, breathed a sigh of relief, wiping cold sweat from their brows.
The assembly members behind them had complicated expressions. Some were dumbfounded. The ones who had been shouting the loudest, nearly weeping, were precisely those who had been the most aggressive earlier, displaying a posture of dying before yielding.
The conservatives were stunned!
"Was it you?" Bai Ye's voice suddenly rang out again, drawing everyone's attention.
In front, the Deputy President, whom Bai Ye was staring at, trembled in fear. Internally, he had cursed the ancestors of the assembly members behind him, who usually called him brother, eighteen generations back. But he dared not look back, fearing that the moment he turned, he would be devoured by the terrifying monster before him!
"Mr. Bai... Mr. Bai, you! You listen to my explanation..."
"Hmph!" Bai Ye let out a cold snort. The lights in the National Assembly flickered erratically, and all the surveillance cameras simultaneously exploded.
The numerous assembly members looked around in panic, trembling. Their gazes then returned to Bai Ye. They knew Bai Ye had done this. Interfering with electronic devices was a common ability of demonic beings!
Bai Ye stared at the Deputy President of Korea. "You'd better give me a valid reason. Otherwise! After today, there will be no assembly members left in Korea..."
Bai Ye's words were still as calm as ever, but many Korean assembly members felt a chill in their hearts. Some people's killing intent could not be contained!
This human-shaped monster before them was one of them!
It had to be said that Bai Ye, standing silently yet still able to project his voice, was indeed very handsome and imposing!
The Deputy President of Korea, who was closest to Bai Ye, felt the sensation of hovering on the edge of death most acutely.
"Yes, yes..." The Deputy President swallowed hard. "The order... although it was unanimously agreed upon by us assembly members. But..."
Unanimously agreed? Agreed my ass!
I did not agree!
The assembly members behind him shot murderous glares. If Bai Ye hadn't been standing there like a god of death, they would have cursed back and offered some excuses.
The Deputy President of Korea, with a look of desperation, said, "There is someone else manipulating our National Assembly from behind the scenes, ordering us to attack you and prevent you from entering our country!"
"Oh?" Bai Ye smiled playfully. He had long heard rumors of someone controlling the Korean government from behind the scenes, thinking it was just hype. He hadn't expected it to be true.
Among the assembly members behind him, some lowered their heads, seemingly aware of this matter. The majority of the conservative members looked on in horror. They suddenly looked at their colleagues around them, instantly understanding something, and were inwardly aghast!
To save his own life, the Deputy President continued, "The decision to imprison President Han and Miss Han was also their idea! We haven't harmed them..."
Bai Ye finally understood why he had been warmly invited, only to be intercepted by artillery fire outside their country's borders!
"Where are they?"
The Deputy President replied, "Zone 5, District XX, heavily guarded detention center."
"Release them."
"Yes! Immediately! We'll be there right away!" The Deputy President nodded like a pecking chick and cautiously requested permission to make a phone call.
Bai Ye agreed and withdrew his perception of the electronic devices. The equipment in the National Assembly Hall had anti-interference systems and materials, which would likely resist ordinary demonic beings. However, for someone as powerful as Bai Ye, who also possessed spatial abilities, it was as if there were no defenses at all!
Zone 5, District XX, heavily guarded detention center.
In a luxurious suite, heavily guarded by soldiers outside.
Inside the room, Han Jae-in, Han Soo-hye, and several trusted aides were imprisoned.
At this moment, Han Jae-in was pacing back and forth in the living room, his expression shifting between anger and worry.
He was angry because, after so many years, Korea still couldn't escape the influence of the chaebols. He had made countermeasures against the chaebols in recent years, but after a confrontation a few days ago, he had lost.
The power center of Korea, the National Assembly, had been too severely infiltrated by them!
And he was worried that these people might do something to provoke Bai Ye, causing Korea to invite disaster upon itself... even leading to the nation's downfall??
"Dad!" Han Soo-hye, sitting nearby, couldn't help but stand up and say with concern, "You don't need to worry too much. Bai Ye oppa isn't an impulsive person; nothing should happen!"
Han Soo-hye was Han Jae-in's biological daughter. In their current situation, there was no need for official avoidance.
Han Jae-in sighed, "You said it yourself. He is a person of principle; he doesn't offend others if they don't offend him. But, who was it that initiated the conflict with him first?"
"This..." Han Soo-hye's expression changed. She recalled the situation in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, and how the military camp in Japan, not to mention the personnel, had its fortress-like buildings completely destroyed!
Just as the few of them were worrying, the door to the room was pushed open with a bang.
"Mr. President!" The officer who entered saluted with a blank expression and said, "We have received orders. Please proceed to the National Assembly."
To the National Assembly? Han Jae-in frowned, then his expression grew even more somber.
Something had happened!
"Bai Ye oppa has come?" Han Soo-hye was also extremely intelligent. The entire National Assembly was currently controlled by the behind-the-scenes chaebols, and under normal circumstances, they wouldn't allow them to appear in the National Assembly again. Now, being suddenly summoned there could only mean that a change had occurred!
The group immediately rushed into a car and headed towards the Korean National Assembly Building.
