How to become a mermaid

Chapter 393 Who Is Incompetent and Furious?

Including Edwin, there were nine people sitting in the entire reception room.

Among them, the figures of most people are half hidden in the haze, making it difficult for people to see their faces clearly.

The guest that Edwin would meet without hesitation to leave the nutrition cabin, of course, couldn't be an ordinary person.

——They are all the chosen ones of the human side, and they are the chosen ones who transcend the mortal body.

Including Pochi, there are a total of six transcendents among the sea creatures, while humans have nine... no, eight and a half!

Edwin can also be considered a detached person, but under the influence of the curse, he can't exert his full strength, at most he can only be regarded as half.

When he, who is half a detached person, meets the other eight detached people, the pressure can be imagined.

He was the initiator of this gathering, and he was the one who sat on the main seat, but he was not the one who controlled the situation.

Just after everyone sat down, the man sitting in the farthest position from Edwin spoke first.

"Your Excellency Edwin, are you summoning us this time to apologize for your ineffectiveness?"

Although he spoke one word at a time, and his tone was very gentle, but what he said was not friendly at all.

Just after he finished speaking, the others instantly turned their gazes in Edwin's direction.

Although the faces of these people were hidden in the hazy mist, Edwin could still clearly feel their scrutiny and questioning of himself.

The turmoil that occurred on the Foundation Day shocked the entire Feidnan Continent. Countless people participated in the rebellion, and the scene was once out of control.

If they hadn't come forward to wipe Edwin's ass, the matter would not have subsided so quickly.

Stared at by the questioning eyes, Edwin's eyes twitched unnaturally, and his head, which had been held high, drooped a little.

He opened his mouth and made a hoarse voice: "Your Excellency Ales, I admit that it was my ineffective discipline...that caused such a catastrophe to my subordinates!"

"Now all the brain-eating horseshoe crabs have been planted, and this kind of thing will never happen again!"

As soon as Edwin's words fell, a man sitting on his right retorted: "Can you expose such a big mistake with a sentence of poor discipline?"

"Edwin, we are very doubtful now, whether we can continue to trust you and cooperate with you!"

Edwin needs a huge amount of faith if he wants to become a god, and the same is naturally true for other people who want to become gods.

But according to the current situation, it is difficult to create one god, let alone nine.

Therefore, for the common goal, these detached people temporarily formed an alliance, and under Edwin's persuasion, he implemented his plan to promote the Holy Fire Cult.

As long as Edwin can ascend to the godhood smoothly, then according to the agreement, those brain-eating horseshoe crabs will control the believers to convert their beliefs, and use the same method to push others to the godhood.

But now, not only did things not develop as they thought, but a major mistake occurred. How can they rest assured?
Facing such questioning, Edwin frowned again.

He would summon these people, not for them to accuse him!

"I don't think it's my responsibility alone that things will develop like this?"

"I'm obviously a cooperative relationship with you, but..."

Edwin glanced over the entire reception room before saying: "Everyone is evasive and unwilling to contribute, and only waits for something to go wrong before you come to ask me to blame!"

In fact, he was also very angry. These guys were obviously capable of holding Di Geya, but they kept paddling, hiding behind the scenes and watching without any effort, so that Moni's people infiltrated the entire Feidnan continent sieve.

Hearing Edwin's rhetorical question, someone in the reception room changed his face instantly, and reprimanded: "What do you mean? It's obviously your mistake, and you still want to blame us?"

Edwin shook his head and retorted: "I don't mean to blame you, but I just hope that you can understand the fact that we are a community with the same interests. Rather than holding me accountable for what has happened, it is better to find a way together , let things go smoothly!"

He wants to hold others accountable for his mistakes by tying himself to them.

However, these people present are more sophisticated than each other, and they will not be fooled so easily.

"You're right, we are indeed in a cooperative state."

Ales, the man who attacked Edwin in the first place spoke again.

He put his fingers on the round table, nodded twice, and said, "But this cannot be a reason for us to forgive you."

"400 million people, these are believers who were converted on the founding day of the Holy Fire Cult."

"It stands to reason that with so many believers providing you with faith, you should not be far away from starting the God-ascension stage, so you wouldn't be so eager to call us together."

"But you still did this, which means that apart from the accident that happened on the founding day, there are other problems within your Holy Fire Cult!"

He looked at Edwin calmly, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency Edwin, don't you want to explain this situation to us?"

Just after Ales said these words, there was an uproar at the scene.

"What? There are other problems?"

"Damn Edwin! How much are you hiding from us?"

"My trust in you has fallen to the bottom, you must give us an explanation, Edwin!"

Hearing the crowd's angry reprimands against him, Edwin's face turned blue and pale.

Damn it!Ales, this old man, actually didn't give him face so much, and made such a big trouble to him in public!

His lips were pursed tightly, and the muscles in his eyes tightened slightly, as if he was thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

After the anger of the surrounding people calmed down a bit, Edwin spoke slowly and said, "Indeed... something unexpected happened, that's why I summoned you here!
"Those people in Digea, I don't know what they did, so that the beliefs provided by the believers have been greatly reduced!"

"For the sake of our common plan, please take action immediately to solve the current problems!"

"Bang!" There was only a muffled sound, and a man in front of Edwin's left angrily slapped the table and stood up from his seat.

He glared at Edwin and scolded, "Edwin! Don't you think that what you said was too aggressive?"

"All the problems appeared in your Holy Fire Cult, and not only are you unwilling to take responsibility for it, you even come to ask us to pay for your mistakes!"

"If this is the purpose of your summoning us this time, I don't think we have anything to talk about!"

Right after he finished speaking, before Edwin could respond, his figure disappeared into the reception room.

After him, three other figures also disappeared into the reception room.

They were very angry, thinking that Edwin was coercing them with cooperation and forcing them to make concessions.

If you don't express your attitude now, it will be difficult to refuse if you are threatened by Edwin in the future!

Under Edwin's overreaching, there were four people missing in the reception room in an instant, and only four other guests remained here.

Of course, they didn't stay because they were willing to accept Edwin's request, but because Ales hadn't left yet.

As the first transcendent human being, Ales has a lot of prestige among the rest of the transcendents, making the remaining few people vaguely take him as the leader and look up to him.

They stayed here just to see what Ales' attitude was.

Under the attention of everyone at the scene, Ales tapped the table with his hand, and said slowly: "Everyone makes mistakes, it's not a big deal."

"However..." Having said that, he paused, and turned his gaze to Edwin's direction.

"When the first mistake is made, if it is not punished as it should be, then the person who made the mistake will get away with it, thinking that there will be no consequences even if he makes the mistake, and then make the second mistake."

"Make a second mistake, and if you still don't get the punishment you deserve, then the person who made the mistake will be encouraged to think that he can be allowed to make a mistake, and then make a third mistake."

"When it comes time to make the third mistake, the person who made the mistake becomes a habitual offender, and makes mistakes as a norm, a habit."

"Edwin, where do you think you've come?"

His voice was still as gentle as before, and his tone was not rushed, but Edwin felt threatened from it.

Under the gaze of Ales' calm eyes, a chill rose in Edwin's heart, which made him unable to maintain the calm expression on his face, and there was a moment of panic.

"Your Excellency Ales, what do you want me to do?" He gave in.

Hearing Edwin's words, Ales chuckled and said, "Edwin, I think you haven't figured out the situation. It's not what I want you to do, but what you want to do."

Ales' words made Edwin frowned, and had a vague premonition.

But he was still lucky and wanted to test his hand, "I don't understand what your Excellency means."

"Don't try to be stupid, Edwin." Ales stood up, leaned forward slightly, looked down at Edwin with a condescending attitude, and said, "I think you know very well what the chips in your hand are. What, I also know exactly what I need now!"

Edwin's chips, or hole cards, were undoubtedly Elise and her group of brain-eating horseshoe crabs.

Only by mastering these things can Edwin have a place among these detached people who are stronger than him, and have the confidence to coerce them to assist him.

Ales actually wanted to reach out to this hole card, which made it impossible for Edwin to agree no matter what!

He half-closed his eyes, looked at Ales with a serious expression, and refused: "Your Excellency Ales! Your thinking seems to have crossed the line!"

Sensing the warning in Edwin's tone, Ales raised his head slightly, and said unhurriedly, "Oh? Your Excellency thinks I've crossed the line?"

Although this sentence was said to Edwin, Edwin was not the only one who listened to it.

As soon as his words fell, the other four people on the scene cast their eyes on Edwin without hesitation.

The meaning of these people could not be more obvious.

——They are on the side of Ales, and Edwin is now alone.

Sensing the faint sense of oppression coming from the surroundings, Edwin pursed his lips tightly, and even his breathing became a little short.

If it wasn't for this damned curse and this damned body, why would he be so timid and let others ride on his head to threaten him!

He fell into silence, and after a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "There are some things that you can't just get in if you want to!"

"You have to try it to know!" Ales didn't care, and even said something that Edwin was a little startled: "The relationship between your Excellency and that queen is actually not as unbreakable as you think. Isn't it?"

Hearing this, Edwin's pupils shrank slightly, and Elise's recent abnormal behavior instantly appeared in his mind.

Yes, there has indeed been a rift in their relationship recently, and it has even affected his next plans.

But how did Alis know?How much does he know?

"Don't bother Your Excellency! I will take care of my own housework!" Edwin said in a deep voice.

"My own family affairs..." Ales looked at Edwin and repeated this sentence meaningfully.

When he said this, his eyes showed contempt and sarcasm, which deeply hurt Edwin's heart.

Even on Auer planet, falling in love between different races is a niche phenomenon, and they will be discriminated against and suspected by others, let alone humans and bugs, two creatures with huge differences.

The reason why Edwin hid Elise in the cave was that besides wanting to control its thoughts and actions and firmly control it in his own hands, he also wanted to hide his unusual hobbies from others .

He needs Elise's help, he yearns for Elise's body, and at the same time...he dislikes Elise's identity extremely!

With such contradictory thoughts, he dared not announce his relationship with Elise, let alone expose it to the sun!
The secret that has been hidden for a long time, not to mention being known by Ales, was also ridiculed by him so much, which made Edwin's anger build up again, and he stared at him angrily.

Seeing that Edwin had already been provoked, Ales did not continue to provoke him.

He smiled lightly and sat back in his seat again.

"Since it is Your Excellency's family affairs, it is naturally inconvenient for us to get involved, but..."

Since there is a pause here, there must be a turning point.

The smile on Ales' face gradually faded, and he said to Edwin word by word: "If it affects other people, then this matter can't be regarded as a family affair, right?"

"Edwin, think carefully!"

"Do you want to keep hiding it, or hand over your little lover and cooperate with us openly and honestly!"

"Your decision will affect our next move!"

"After you think about it, please contact me again..."

As soon as the last word fell, Ales' figure gradually blurred and disappeared in front of Edwin.

The rest of the people followed closely behind and left the reception room one after another.

The room became empty again, leaving only Edwin with a livid face and red eyes.

"Ah!" He clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.

The round table made of mahogany turned into dust in an instant.

　Ales: Hand over your wife, and we can continue to be friends.
