A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 1555 - 1047: Gatherings from All Sides

Duanmu Huai was not someone who liked wasting time. Two days later, the four-way meeting officially began, and he met the representatives from each faction.

The representative of the Demon Forces was Liliath’s brother, Serges, and another black-haired, twin-tailed girl. According to her introduction, she was Griffiel Leviathan, one of the Four Great Demon Kings, responsible for the diplomatic affairs of the Demon Camp.

The Angel Camp sent Michael, a relatively famous angel—a blonde handsome guy—ha ha.

The representative of the Fallen Angel Faction was Fallen Angel Governor Azazel, a guy with dyed blonde hair who looked like a middle-aged delinquent.

"So, first of all, welcome everyone to the Tribunal."

Once everyone was seated, Duanmu Huai spoke directly.

"I don’t like wasting time, so we can skip the tedious pleasantries. Before anything else, there’s something I need to tell you all."

Upon hearing this, the faction representatives all lifted their heads, focusing their gaze on Duanmu Huai. Confronted with the scrutiny of everyone in front of him, Duanmu Huai showed no fear. He sat in his chair, casually sweeping his gaze over the Demon King, Angel, and Fallen Angel.

"I believe you all should have heard by now, but I need to say it again personally here. The core purpose of our Tribunal is to safeguard the continuity of humanity at all costs and eliminate any existence that threatens humanity. Whether it’s demons, angels, or fallen angels, even deities are no exception."

"........."

"Therefore, this is not a negotiation; it’s a notification. Once considered an enemy by the Tribunal, I will not engage in any exchange or negotiation with any of you; I will simply execute the threat immediately."

At this point, Duanmu Huai glanced at the Fallen Angel Governor.

"Just like those clueless fallen angels who came looking for trouble before."

"Oh dear, if Cocabelle knew he died because of this, I wonder if he would be so angry he’d jump out of his coffin."

In the face of Duanmu Huai’s warning, the Fallen Angel Governor showed a nonchalant demeanor, smiling as he replied.

"Especially the fallen angels, to be honest, I have no good feelings towards you. Since I arrived here, I’ve encountered three attacks from fallen angels one after another. In my view, fallen angels are nothing but a bunch of deranged war maniacs; they seem to always want to attack anyone they disagree with anywhere. Do you have any explanation for this?"

"That’s right, Azazel."

At this point, Serges also chimed in.

"Regarding Cocabelle’s previous actions, do you have anything to explain?"

"What can I say?"

Facing the scrutiny of the crowd, the Fallen Angel Governor smiled and spread his hands.

"The previous event was solo action by Cocabelle, a cadre of our Fallen Angel Central Organization ’Son of God Watcher,’ who kept it hidden from other cadres and me, the Governor. I am very sorry for this, and wasn’t Cocabelle eliminated by this Great Judge? We didn’t trouble the Tribunal because of this."

"You might as well try and see."

Duanmu Huai snorted lightly.

"Furthermore, I previously suffered an attack from a fallen angel who deemed my artifact dangerous and thought it necessary to eliminate me. Do you have a good explanation for this?"

"Our fallen angels indeed eliminate those artifact hosts that might pose a threat, which is quite normal from an organizational perspective. Given the Tribunal’s goal of protecting humanity, you should understand the kind of threat an uncontrolled artifact holder poses to humanity."

"That’s a good point, but it’s not a reason for you to act against humans at will."

Duanmu Huai coldly stared at the Fallen Angel Governor.

"This is a human issue, to be solved by us humans, without needing the Fallen Angel Faction’s pointless ’concern’... do you understand what I mean, Fallen Angel Governor?"

"Honestly, I never thought I’d hear such words from a human."

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, the Fallen Angel Governor chuckled bitterly.

"Alright, I’ll explain this to other cadres."

"If similar incidents occur again, I’ll eliminate those fallen angels who dare slaughter humans. I hope you don’t forget that."

With these words, Duanmu Huai spoke bluntly and then looked at Michael.

"Michael, I have a matter to ask you too."

"What is it?"

"Regarding the Holy Sword Bearer—I know a person named Kiba Hiroto, he was a sacrifice in your Holy Sword Project. According to him, after the failure of the Holy Sword Project, did you eliminate all the failures? What was the reason for this?"

Indeed, Duanmu Huai was very curious at the time - it’s one thing to fail a plan, but those children underwent rigorous training as warriors. Even if they couldn’t become special forces, couldn’t they become police officers or something? Why eliminate them just for failing to be special forces? Didn’t it cost money to train them? Is the Church that rich?

"This......"

Facing Duanmu Huai’s aggressive questioning, Michael also showed a pained expression. He hesitated for a moment and then spoke. freēnovelkiss.com

"Alright, I’ll explain. In fact, the Holy Sword Project didn’t fail; it succeeded."

"Succeeded?"

Upon hearing this, not only did Duanmu Huai raise an eyebrow, but even Liliath, sitting beside the Demon King, also showed a serious expression—after all, Kiba Hiroto is her follower.
