I have a city in another world

Chapter 6808 Taking the initiative

Tang Zhen made his stance clear, indicating that he was not uncooperative, but rather that there was a time limit.

Once the time is up, he will leave immediately and will not stay any longer.

The Chamber of Commerce has already done more than enough by cooperating with his stay, and has no right to further restrict his freedom.

Some might think that Tang Zhen's words and actions were too arrogant and that he didn't take the Chamber of Commerce seriously at all.

After all, at this moment, he is a suspect and is being investigated by the Chamber of Commerce.

This kind of thinking stems from one's own weakness and humility, being accustomed to passive acceptance of treatment, and failing to recognize that the strong have their own principles.

The Chamber of Commerce is just a non-governmental organization and does not have the power to detain Tang Zhen. It has also made it clear before that it is cooperating with the investigation.

If it were illegal detention, the nature of the crime would be completely different, and Tang Zhen would be fully entitled to retaliate.

By belonging to their own faction, they also had a reason to act.

In the event of a dispute, the Chamber of Commerce may not be in the right. Suspicion is acceptable, and cooperating with the investigation is perfectly normal. However, if someone is forcibly detained without permission, the Chamber of Commerce will have to bear all the consequences.

Unless the Chamber of Commerce provides evidence proving that Tang Zhen is indeed problematic and passes the Wizard Alliance's verification and audit.

However, such fair treatment is only suitable for powerful individuals with connections; ordinary cultivators will be manipulated at will.

Once Tang Zhen made his stance clear, the Chamber of Commerce had to respond, instead of continuing to feign ignorance and delay.

Their task was to prove whether Tang Zhen had cheated within a limited time.

When the time comes, Tang Zhen must be allowed to leave, whether he likes it or not.

If they continue to forcibly detain him, they must give Tang Zhen an explanation and obtain his consent.

Otherwise, the nature of the situation will change, leading to a complete escalation of the conflict.

But at this moment, everything is under control.

The supervisor informed the chamber of commerce management of Tang Zhen's attitude and hoped for a result as soon as possible.

At this moment, he was unaware that the Chamber of Commerce had already dispatched two groups of wizards to participate in the analysis, but had not obtained the desired results at all.

The second wave of wizards were all renowned high-ranking cultivators. They accepted the mission and rushed over, but did not get the results they wanted.

Now, left with no other choice, we can only turn to the Creator for help.

When it comes to the Creator, there are many uncertainties, and no one can make a definite guarantee.

If no response is received from the Creator before the deadline, Tang Zhen will have to leave temporarily.

If Tang Zhen is proven to have cheated, they will still need to bear responsibility, but the severity of the punishment will differ.

Of course, it is also possible that he will be commended and rewarded for this.

The final outcome will depend on the circumstances, and it is too early to draw any conclusions now.

Even if Tang Zhen is allowed to leave, it does not mean that the matter is officially over. The Chamber of Commerce will continue to monitor and track the situation to ensure that the target remains under control.

Once it is confirmed that Tang Zhen is involved in a crime, an arrest operation will be launched immediately. No matter where he is, no matter the cost, Tang Zhen must be brought under control and captured.

This is no small matter; it's no exaggeration to say it could cause a major upheaval. If the situation gets out of control and cheating in the lottery becomes rampant, the resulting losses will be incalculable.

To resolve this matter, the nine major chambers of commerce and their creators could launch a war without hesitation.

Regardless of Tang Zhen's background or identity, it is insignificant compared to the potential losses he may suffer.

When interests are involved, fathers and sons can turn against each other, brothers can become enemies, and even husbands and wives can hate each other.

The battles between cultivators are even more brutal, and if the situation gets out of control, countless people will be affected and implicated.

Throughout the history of the Astral Plane, there have been many wars fought over interests, which have affected a considerable number of countries and civilians.

The number of casualties was countless, and the scene was horrific.

If this cheating incident is not handled properly, it could very well trigger a war.

Ordinary wars are fine; the casualties are only ordinary people, the powerful and wealthy, and some low-level wizards.

High-ranking wizards do not easily intervene, as that would escalate the war. However, once a war begins, various unforeseen events can occur, eventually causing it to spiral out of control.

When that time comes, even high-ranking wizards will be affected, and once prosperous and beautiful cities may be reduced to wasteland overnight.

This possibility deeply worried those in the know, who feared it might become the trigger for war.

Even those who don't understand can realize that this matter is definitely not simple.

Those who truly understand the situation are aware of the perilous nature of this matter and secretly feel a sense of unease.

At that moment, the other group of guests also realized something was wrong and gradually became restless.

At first, they treated it as a joke, but they were soon deeply shocked.

Later, they felt that this was a rare opportunity and that they might be able to establish a connection with the Chamber of Commerce.

But at this moment, they were filled with fear and anxiety, and only hoped that things could be resolved as soon as possible.

Tang Zhen was safe and sound, which allowed them to escape smoothly. If there were any real problems, they would not escape being affected as well.

Compared to such a behemoth, they are nothing but ants, and their life or death is of no concern to them.

It's no exaggeration to say that if they had died inside the Chamber of Commerce today, it probably wouldn't have caused any ripples.

Each family, whether they like it or not, will ultimately choose to settle the matter peacefully.

There is only one outcome to confrontation: complete disappearance from this world, and replacement by another family that knows the rules.

Or perhaps it wasn't a family, but a beggar on the street, a lowly servant, or an ordinary citizen.

As long as the chamber of commerce is willing, it can elevate anyone, regardless of their background or identity, to a higher position.

The clearer I became about this, the more anxious and uneasy I felt.

In contrast, the rich second-generation heir looked completely calm at this moment. His situation couldn't get any worse, and there was no need to worry at all.

If we're going to die, we'll die together; if we're going to live, we'll live together, so I won't be the only one who suffers.

The most composed person at this moment was undoubtedly Tang Zhen, who remained sitting quietly as if nothing had happened.

It was as if what had happened before had nothing to do with him, or that he had just done something very ordinary.

However, how could such a thing be taken for granted? Anyone with a modicum of common sense would know what kind of consequences this would bring.

But from beginning to end, Tang Zhen never hesitated in the slightest.

Time is precious and there's no need to waste it; we should focus on our spiritual practice.

Ignoring his surroundings and unaffected in the slightest, Tang Zhen began to study and analyze the clues and data he had previously obtained.

The scene that was tracked down using the rules to crack the artifact was more like the temple of a certain cultivation organization.

That enormous statue is the best proof.

The astral realm is controlled by wizards, who are most averse to so-called gods and reject religion and the worship of gods.

Countless otherworldly deities fell into the hands of wizards and ultimately became materials for their experiments.

The wizards' obsessive fanaticism far exceeded imagination, enough to instill fear and unease in any enemy.

Building temples within the astral plane to worship gods who are not permitted to exist is itself a taboo act.

Once the alliance finds out, it will immediately take action to eliminate it and will absolutely not allow it to continue to exist.

Perhaps this information could be reported to the Wizarding Alliance, and their resources could be used to find the target.

Without evidence, it's impossible to persuade the Wizard Alliance to help Tang Zhen with just a few words.

However, if it were the nine major chambers of commerce, with the Creator behind them, they should be able to do this easily.

Unfortunately, Tang Zhen possessed conditions that the other party couldn't refuse. If he were willing to reveal the truth, he could easily achieve his goal.

Therefore, all you need to do in the meantime is wait quietly until the other person contacts you to ask for the answer.
