Yatai Policy: The New Order of the Mainland

Chapter 931 Mediation (Part 1)

At the critical moment, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared between Charlie Joe and Scaya. With lightning speed, he struck Charlie Joe's elbow with his left fist, deflecting his attack, while simultaneously pointing his right finger at the side of Scaya's ice spear, sending it flying high into the air. In an instant, he averted their certain death.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats from the intense battle. They knew that, regardless of the outcome, the clash between the McKen and Ruls forces could escalate into a chaotic melee. At that point, not only would any hope for peace on the continent of Yatai be shattered, but even those attending the meeting would likely suffer heavy casualties!

Seeing that someone had finally tried to mediate, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The one who made the move was Dai Yun, the chief of the Kino National Advisory Council and the leader of the Masel Peace Conference. He was very dissatisfied with the behavior of McKen and Ruhr, who disregarded the overall interests of the Yatai continent and provoked each other to fight. So, from the moment Charlie and Skaya started fighting, he moved closer, ready to mediate at any time.

After analyzing the situation, the top management of Kino unanimously agreed that the Wasp was the biggest threat to the Yatai continent at present. Therefore, they decided to temporarily put aside the grievances between the two countries and unite against the external enemy, even if it caused some allies to misunderstand or even lose support.

But reality is cruel!
The peace conference lasted three days, and what Dai Yun witnessed was still the power struggle between major powers and the self-preservation of small and medium-sized countries. He felt deeply helpless and disappointed. Even so, Dai Yun still wanted to make a final effort, which is why he was willing to risk everything to save Charlie Joe and Skaya, who were preparing to perish together.

The seemingly certain death was averted, and Charlie Joe and Scaya both secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, Mizu and McKenfang's reinforcements arrived.

Their goal was to kill their opponents and rescue their comrades.

Mizu was a step too late. He only saw a blur before his eyes and realized that Daiyun had already blocked the attacks of both sides. However, he still intended to take the opportunity to eliminate Charlie Joe, so he still unleashed the devastating water energy.

"Insolence!" Dai Yun was furious upon seeing this. He channeled his metal elemental power into his body and pulled out an energy ball that shone with a dazzling white light, pushing it toward Mi Jin.

With a guilty conscience, Mizu's momentum naturally weakened. In addition, his skill was indeed inferior to Daiyun's, so he had no choice but to abandon his attack and focus on self-defense. After the violent collision, he was knocked back seven or eight steps.

Just then, Daiyun suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his back. He thought to himself, "This is bad," and leaped forward with all his might, managing to avoid being hit by the sneak attack from behind.

The attacker turned out to be the very person who had come to McCann's rescue. This guy bore a striking resemblance to Charlie Joe in both build and appearance. After his attack, he didn't give chase, but instead helped Charlie Joe, who had just narrowly escaped death.

"Brother, what's going on..." Charlie Joe knew exactly what had happened and couldn't help but ask angrily, but was silenced by a sharp look from the other party.

"I've heard that Charlie Joe has an older brother who is a master of poison. Could it be you, Bronson?" Dai Yun, having regained his footing, slowly turned around and asked in a deep voice.

"I am Bronson, his elder brother! If you wish to spar a few more times, I am ready anytime!" The attacker announced his name, his tone forceful and calm, though inwardly he was quite surprised. Firstly, although he possessed profound skill, he never sought the limelight, so there should be no information about him outside, yet Dai Yun had revealed his identity so easily. Secondly, Bronson was confident in his poison-based techniques, never expecting his opponent to be completely unaffected after the successful sneak attack. "Despicable! Using such underhanded methods to launch a sneak attack, and the target is none other than the very person who just saved your brother's life! Where is justice if we don't kill you today?!" Seeing their leader attacked, several members of Kino's group had already surrounded him, one of whom, a woman in blue, shouted angrily.

"Isn't calling it a sneak attack an exaggeration?!" A pleasant voice rang out, and Etesban, sitting steadily, said calmly, "Bronson and Charlie Joe are brothers, and it's only natural that they would lend a helping hand in times of crisis. But Mr. Daiyun rashly joined the battle. Who can tell whether he's here to save people or to take advantage of the chaos? Just look at Mizuki's behavior, and you'll know that what I'm saying is true!"

"Moreover, as a high-level Inscription Master, a peak existence, one should naturally remain vigilant at all times. To call it a sneak attack is truly tarnishing Mr. Daiyun's reputation!" Etesban twisted the truth, insisting that Brunson's despicable behavior was a misunderstanding, while also taking the opportunity to disgust Yonezu.

"Hmph!" Charlie Joe was a straightforward man. He shook off his brother's arm in dissatisfaction, bowed deeply to Dai Yunshen, and said, "Thank you for saving my life, sir. I will repay you in the future!" After saying that, the young man stood up and disappeared into the night without returning to his team.

"He's not as skilled, but he's got quite the temper. Bronson, go keep an eye on him!" A tall, burly man beside Atesban muttered the order. Judging from his tone, this man was undoubtedly a member of Atesban's core team and held considerable prestige. Fortunately, he spoke up, which somewhat eased the menacing look on Atesban's face and prevented some embarrassment.

Bronson glared fiercely at Daiyun, then turned and left without saying another word.

"Ningtian, now is not the time to bother with such a scoundrel. You should step back!" Daiyun stopped the blue-clad woman who wanted to chase after Bronson, completely ignoring Etesban who had just made a lot of boastful remarks, and turned her gaze to Mijin and Skaya.

"You're so old and still so nosy! Do I need your help dealing with a young punk? Are you hurt?!" Skaya was clearly an old acquaintance of Daiyun. Instead of thanking him, she questioned him, but her tone betrayed her concern and worry.

Daiyun flashed a smile that could still charm many women, nodded to reassure the old lady, and said to Mijin, "I never thought I'd see an old friend again after all these years! But your gift just now almost killed this old man!"

Facing an adversary and ally he had crossed paths with forty years ago, Yonezu felt a mix of emotions. "The Yatai Continent is not peaceful! I refuse to admit I'm getting old, so I had no choice but to come out of retirement to help the younger generation. Who knew that I hadn't fought for so long and had lost my composure, making Mr. Daiyun laugh at me!" He blushed slightly and clasped his hands in thanks.

Within a few words, everyone could sense the older generation of elite calligraphers' nostalgia for the past and their concern for the current situation. "There must be many stories between them!" everyone thought to themselves.

"The peace conference in Masel was originally intended to mediate the dispute between Suliel and McKen, and also to allow everyone on the continent of Yatai to temporarily set aside their prejudices and grudges and work together to deal with a more threatening enemy. My people of Kino are united and willing to do anything for this. I have already spoken with Chief Valoja, but unfortunately I have not yet received a reply. I wonder if Rurs has made a decision?!" Daiyun stopped wasting words and went straight to the most crucial question.

"Impressive!" Valoja thought to himself as he saw the other man's gaze sweep over him. Daiyun had first tried to mediate and save lives, and now he was publicly expressing his desire for peace, truly elevating himself to a moral high ground in one step. And Valoja had no choice but to answer his question.

“While Rurs may not fear any challenge, he will not deliberately provoke conflict…” Valoja pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and spoke loudly. But before he could finish speaking, Daiyun's expression suddenly changed, he coughed up a mouthful of black blood, and swayed precariously.

Daiyun: I hope all the effort will be worthwhile!
