Chapter 74: Quick Travel Guide: Poseidon (XI)
I focused my mental power on those sharks. I felt their fear and anxiety, but they were quickly suppressed by my powerful mental power.
I began to guide their movements, making them dance in the center of the hall according to my instructions.
Under my control, the sharks moved in unison, sometimes spinning and jumping, sometimes rolling and flying, just like a group of well-trained dancers, presenting a wonderful performance for the audience.
Everyone present was stunned. They had never seen such a shocking scene before. Even the giant deep-sea octopus was stunned, with disbelief written all over his face.
I withdrew my spiritual power, and the sharks immediately regained their freedom and returned to the crystal ball. The hall was completely silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
I slowly turned around, looked at the giant deep-sea octopus, and said calmly, "What do you think? Do you still think I am not qualified to inherit the killer whale's heritage?"
The deep-sea giant octopus's face turned pale, and he couldn't say a word. He originally thought that he could easily crush me this time, but he didn't expect that I would actually give him a warning.
I ignored his reaction and went back to my seat. I didn't feel as relieved as I thought, because I knew this was just the beginning.
The giant deep-sea octopus will not give up, and greater challenges are waiting for me.
My eyes swept across the crowd and fell on Du Yue and Bi Fusheng.
They looked at me with eyes full of resentment and jealousy, and I knew that a new storm was about to come.
The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. I could clearly feel that everyone's eyes were focused on me, with shock, admiration, and of course, jealousy and resentment.
I accepted all of this calmly, without any turmoil in my heart.
The deep-sea giant octopus looked as ugly as if it had swallowed a fly. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He just glared at me fiercely and sat back in his seat angrily.
"It's incredible! Brother, you actually did it!"
My sister held my hand excitedly, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "You are my idol!"
I smiled and patted the back of her hand. "It's nothing, just some little tricks."
"Little trick?" The cousin beside him couldn't help but interrupt.
"This is controlling a shark! Many experienced mermaids can't do it, and you say it's just a trick?"
I shrugged and said nothing more. I know that for these native mermaids.
Manipulating marine life is a skill that requires a long period of training and learning to master, but I, an "outsider", did it easily, which naturally aroused their surprise and curiosity.
After the meeting, I was surrounded by a group of enthusiastic mermaids who expressed their appreciation and admiration for me.
Only then did I realize that the scene just now not only allowed me to gain a firm foothold in the parliament, but also won me the recognition and support of many mermaids.
"Zi'ang, you're amazing! I've been annoyed with that octopus guy for a long time, and this time someone finally can teach him a lesson!"
"Yes, your performance today was really great! We all believe that you will definitely lead us to a better future!"
Listening to the praises from all around, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and joy. Wasn't it for this moment that I came to this world and went through so many hardships?
However, just as I was enjoying the joy of victory, a cold voice suddenly rang in my ears, as if it came from the distant abyss, but also like a whisper close at hand: "Don't be happy too soon, just wait for me..."
My smile froze on my face, and a chill ran up from my feet to my head. Who is it? Who is talking?
I turned my head sharply, but I only saw a crowd of people, and didn't see any suspicious figures. Was it my illusion?
No, it's impossible! My intuition tells me that this is not an illusion! There must be some danger approaching, I must find the source of the sound as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous...
That cold voice was like a thorn in my flesh, and it wouldn't go away. My heart was pounding, and I glanced anxiously at the enthusiastic faces around me. Was I being too suspicious?
"What's wrong, Xin? You don't look well." Sister looked at me worriedly, her clear blue eyes full of concern.
I suppressed my anxiety and forced a smile, "It's okay, maybe I was too tired just now."
My sister didn't ask any further questions, but just patted my hands gently, indicating that I should be at ease.
I looked at her with gratitude, but I became more certain in my heart that the voice was definitely not my illusion, and I must find out the truth as soon as possible.
For the next few days, I pretended nothing had happened, but secretly asked my sister to help me investigate.
With her expertise in information networks, she soon made some progress.
"Guess what? I found out that Du Yue and Bi Fusheng had frequent private contacts and that they even had financial transactions!"
My sister lowered her voice and said solemnly, "I suspect they are plotting something bad."
My heart sank suddenly. It was just as I expected.
"Have you found out what they are planning?"
"The specific content has not yet been found out. They have done a good job of keeping it confidential."
Sister shook her head, but then her eyes lit up as if she had thought of something. "However, I found out that the parliament will hold a banquet at the Heart of the Ocean next week. Celebrities from all walks of life will attend. I think they will definitely take action."
The Heart of the Ocean is the most luxurious banquet hall in the underwater city. The fact that a banquet can be held there shows its high standards.
If Du Yue and Bi Fusheng really had some conspiracy, then this banquet was undoubtedly the best time.
A bold idea formed in my mind: I would use this banquet to expose their true colors to the public!
"Sister, please help me do something..." I whispered my plan into her ear.
After hearing this, my sister's eyes widened, "Is this... possible?"
"Trust me, it will work."
I said firmly, with a confident light in my eyes. I want to see what their expressions will be when their conspiracy is exposed!
On the day of the banquet, I wore a silver-white dress. The hem of my dress swayed gently with my steps, like the ripples on the sea.
Lord Poseidon held my hand, and my figure was reflected in his deep blue eyes, gentle and doting.
"Nervous?"
He asked softly, his warm breath brushing my ears with a hint of salty smell, which was the unique scent of the sea.
I shook my head and gave him a confident smile. "Don't worry, everything is under control."
My eyes swept across the banquet hall, where people were well-dressed, drinking and toasting, and the whole place was filled with singing and dancing.
Du Yue and Bi Fusheng were also in the crowd. They had false smiles on their faces and chatted and laughed with the people around them, as if nothing had happened.
"Vanity!"
I sneered in my heart, and my eyes gradually became fierce.
Halfway through the party, as planned, I walked to the center of the stage. The spotlight shone on me, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at me curiously, waiting for my performance.
I took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Dear guests, I would like to show you a special show tonight."
I snapped my fingers lightly, and my sister controlled the central system of the banquet hall and slowly lowered a huge screen. A video began to play on the screen. It was the evidence that my sister had collected in recent days, including the footage of Du Yue and Bi Fusheng's private meeting, as well as the record of their financial transactions, which was clear and concise.
After the video was played, the whole banquet hall was in an uproar. Everyone was talking about it, and their eyes were full of suspicion and contempt towards Du Yue and Bi Fusheng.
"This is impossible!" Du Yue's face turned pale and she screamed, "This is slander! This is a frame-up!"
Bi Fusheng was also panicked and tried to defend himself incoherently: "This is all a misunderstanding! Don't listen to the rumors!"
I looked at them coldly, with a hint of sarcasm on my lips, "Do you think that what you did can be flawless?"
I walked closer to them step by step, my eyes as sharp as torches, as if I could see through all the darkness and ugliness in their hearts.
"For your own benefit, you have sold out the interests of the mermaids and even wanted to kill Lord Poseidon. Have your consciences been eaten by dogs?"
My words were like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears. Du Yue and Bi Fusheng's faces became even uglier. They wanted to refute, but they couldn't find any reason.
"You're talking nonsense!" Du Yuese shouted angrily, "What evidence do you have to prove that we betrayed the mermaids?"
I sneered and pointed at the video on the screen. "This is the evidence! Everything you said and did was recorded. Do you still want to deny it?"
