A mere 65-second video.
Yet, after watching it, the Shen family patriarch and others felt as if 65 years had passed!
It was an agony that words could not describe.
If only there were a crack in the ground—
No!
If they could transform into a beam of light, they would have instantly shot towards Blackwater Forest and personally strangled Shen Congdao and the others to death!!
The actions of Shen Congdao and his ilk had not only ripped apart the carefully crafted "national scholar" facade that the thirteen prominent families had presented after their downfall, but had also caused the thirteen families to shine brightly along with this video.
Looking at the Shen family patriarch and the others, their faces ashen.
Su Nanyin felt every pore in her body relax.
She just wanted to pour a glass of wine and break into song and dance on the spot.
But then she suddenly remembered the little one who had been cruelly pierced through the bone and then taken away, and Su Nanyin's heart was suddenly filled with an indescribable pain.
She could no longer control the hatred brewing within her!
A rare display of losing composure—
"If it weren't for these beasts, worse than pigs and dogs, who delivered themselves to our doorstep, how could they have broken Bai Du Niao's twisted neck, sacrificing their lives to create an advantage, leaving us in such a passive state?"
"If it weren't to save these animals, how could Han Daoguo (the sacrificed Dark Blade) and others have bled to death in a foreign land?"
"How else could our Qianfan have risked freezing to death, lurking in the snow for tens of hours, to single-handedly disrupt the enemy's defense system!"
"How else could he have—"
"You animals!"
"And you have the audacity to ask me for an explanation, for an account!"
"Now, I've given you the explanation you wanted, the account you wanted."
"Are you satisfied?"
"Ha, haha!"
Su Nanyin threw her head back and laughed wildly.
Her laughter was shrill, yet it also throbbed with malice.
This was because there were many things she still couldn't say, and her heart felt stifled.
Seeing Su Nanyin lose her composure, Director Zhao several times wanted to urge her to calm down, but then gave up.
He also knew.
Su Nanyin had been under immense mental pressure during this period.
Allowing her to vent now, taking this opportunity, would be beneficial for her physical and mental health.
The key was that Director Zhao also felt she was scolding them wonderfully!
Looking at the Shen family patriarch and the others, who had been full of rage moments ago, they now all lowered their heads, their lips tightly shut, not daring to utter a word.
"I know."
Su Nanyin finally stopped her wild laughter, her voice hoarse as she said, "You must resent me for making this video public. For causing your so-called thirteen prominent families to disgrace your ancestors to the Pacific!"
This was precisely the greatest and most genuine reflection of the thirteen family patriarchs' hearts.
Su Nanyin provided the most logical answer: "Because I feel that what you thirteen families have done is too worthy of your ancestors! If I don't let the people of the entire country witness your outstanding performance, I would feel extremely, extremely, extremely uncomfortable!"
The patriarchs of the thirteen families' jaws twitched uncontrollably.
"I want to do this!"
"I want your thirteen 'beast families' to never be able to show their faces again!"
"From now on, don't pretend to be patriots for personal gain, causing the sales of antiemetics to skyrocket."
"I also know that after this incident, I, Su Nanyin, will become a thorn in your side, a thorn in your flesh, and you will not be able to sleep without removing me."
"I'll be waiting for you."
"Whatever you have, just use it!"
"Oh, and since you look so pathetic right now, I'll give each of you a gift."
"Consider it a signpost from your ancestors, pointing you to a clear path."
Su Nanyin said this and opened her small bag.
Director Zhao subconsciously looked.
He saw her take out some very sturdy white silk from her small bag.
She forcefully threw the bundle of white silk onto the table in front of the thirteen family patriarchs.
Su Nanyin's voice was venomous: "Using these to hang yourselves might be more comfortable."
The eyebrows and corners of the Shen family patriarch's eyes twitched uncontrollably.
"Director Zhao, I'll take my leave now."
After finally venting her heart's frustrations, Su Nanyin said to Director Zhao, turned, and walked out quickly.
She laughed as she walked.
She started laughing wildly again—
Finally.
The woman's laughter disappeared into the corridor outside the door.
Director Zhao looked at the thirteen family patriarchs and asked slowly, "Do you have any further requests now?"
Any?
Any!?
A few minutes later, these people left Director Zhao's office with their heads bowed and stumbling.
As soon as the Shen family patriarch got into his car, he roared, "Su Nanyin, my Fourth Nine Shen family and you, you slut, will never rest until one of us is dead!!"
After roaring, he slumped weakly onto the seat.
But immediately, he opened his eyes and took out his phone: "Shen Qingming."
A man's voice came through: "Patriarch, what are your orders?"
"You immediately take your men out of the country—"
The Shen family patriarch looked towards the western sky, his voice hissing like a viper's tongue: "Let Shen Congdao and the others stay out of the country forever!"
Time rewinded one hour earlier.
When Su Nanyin was announcing the great victory at Blackwater Forest here, it was ten o'clock in the morning in Ancient Hebrew, Europe.
Inside Moses Manor.
Alexander, the grand patriarch of the Moses family, was standing on the lawn in front of the main hall with Li Xiao of Longxu, bidding farewell to Zhao Tingshan from the East and Jessica from the Rhode family.
Su Ziyu, who had previously represented Longxu at the final negotiation, was temporarily acting as Li Xiao's secretary in place of Xiuzi.
Everyone knew.
Li Xiao was doing this to cultivate her tirelessly, to enable her to participate in as many important occasions as possible.
Up to this point.
The two sides had already negotiated four rounds regarding the siege of Blackwater Forest, spanning nearly two months.
However, the final outcome of the four rounds of negotiations was declared to be a failure, with neither side satisfied with the other's attitude.
Especially in the last round of negotiations, Jessica, who had lost all patience, had directly stated the permanent termination of the talks.
Let strength do the talking!
Since this was the case.
Then, neither Zhao Tingshan nor Jessica needed to linger at the Moses family to continue negotiating the Blackwater Forest issue.
Today, both negotiating parties would be returning.
"Respected Mr. Alexander, I apologize for the trouble I've caused you during this period."
Zhao Tingshan shook Alexander's hand, his tone sincere, "On behalf of myself and the East, I welcome you to visit the East if you have the chance. At that time, I hope I will have the opportunity to be your guide. And show you our vast landscapes."
"Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Zhao."
Alexander thanked him solemnly, "If I have the chance, I will invite Master Li to accompany me to that country I have always longed for."
While the two were exchanging pleasantries, Jessica also came before Li Xiao.
"Master Li."
Jessica shook Li Gongdie's hand gently, "I won't say too much more. I can only once again express my sincere apologies for Mr. Qianfan's death in Blackwater Forest. I implore Master Li to forgive me for certain actions I took because of this. Please treat me with a more objective and fair attitude. After all, we who are alive must look forward, mustn't we?"
She was using this opportunity to subtly remind Li Gongdie: "Don't forget, there is still the third generation of Longxu in my belly! Therefore, please don't make any moves against me in the future."
Li Gongdie, being such a smart person, naturally understood Jessica's meaning.
He smiled with emotion, "Yes, no matter what happened in the past, we must look forward. Forget all the unpleasantness."
Jessica released his hand and looked at Su Ziyu.
With the gaze of a victor!
Su Ziyu thought her victorious posture was due to the Rhode family having an absolute advantage in Blackwater Forest.
She didn't realize—
Jessica's victorious gaze towards her was purely because she was secretly pleased and had placed a bright hat on her head.
Jessica shook hands with Su Ziyu, "Ms. Su, I hope you will visit Rhodes Castle in the future."
Su Ziyu nodded, "If I have the chance, I will come to bother you, Madam."
While everyone was exchanging pleasantries, Jessica's secretary, Emma, took out her phone and quickly walked to the side.
Li Xiao casually glanced at Emma, a kind smile appearing on his lips.
Jessica also noticed, but didn't pay much attention.
As she was exchanging pleasantries with Su Ziyu, about to let go of her hand, she couldn't help but say, "That day during the negotiation, Ms. Su said the negotiation would not end. But now it seems Ms. Su's judgment was mistaken."
Su Ziyu said, "But I always feel that we will have the opportunity to sit together again in the future and restart negotiations regarding the siege of Blackwater Forest."
"That's impossible. Heh heh."
Jessica chuckled lightly, "Ms. Su, our negotiating parties are about to leave. This also means your premonition is wrong."
"That's not necessarily true."
Su Ziyu looked at Emma and said softly, "Perhaps in the next second, Madam will proactively request to restart negotiations."
"Oh? Which next second?"
As Jessica chuckled again, she saw Emma approaching with a look of panic on her face.
Bang!
Jessica's heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition growing as she saw this.
"Madam—"
Emma, with a panicked expression, blurted out as she approached, "Latest news, the Rhode team has been completely annihilated!"
