Bae Joo-hyun stepped into the hall, and the guards immediately closed the heavy door behind her.

She glanced around and saw that the higher-ups had indeed arrived.

In the spacious hall, everyone sat clearly divided on either side of the long table.

On the left are the president's faction, and on the right are the key members of the vice president's faction.

Bae Joo-hyun walked slowly to her seat and sat down.

As a religious symbol of the Unity Church, her seat is located second to the left of the main seat, only below the two presidents and the Holy Son.

As soon as she sat down, the middle-aged man next to her began to complain:

"Bae Joo-hyun, you're late for such an important internal high-level meeting."

As the Son of God, it is my duty to criticize your disregard for the precepts.

Bae Joo-hyun rolled her eyes inwardly.

She felt utterly speechless.

Choi Tae-won, I am a staunch supporter of your father's faction.

What's wrong with you? How dare you criticize me in front of your opponent in this kind of setting?

She had long been utterly disappointed in the abilities of this holy son.

However, he maintained a respectful demeanor and bowed his head in apology: "I apologize, Your Highness, I had some religious affairs to attend to and I am late."

On the other side of the two, the vice president's faction watched this scene with schadenfreude.

Just then, a loud voice rang out from outside the hall: "The president has arrived!"

Everyone immediately suppressed their surprise and stood up solemnly.

An elderly man, thin as a rake and wearing a breathing mask, was slowly pushed in by a servant while sitting in a wheelchair.

After the attendant placed the wheelchair in the main seat, the old man slightly raised his withered hand.

The servant shouted in a booming voice, "Everyone, please sit down."

Everyone took their seats.

Choi Tae-won glanced at his father beside him, his confidence swelled, and he immediately stood up to announce today's agenda:

"Gentlemen, due to the crackdown by the Chinese government, all of the Unification Association's facilities in China have been uprooted."

All of this was caused by the vice president's reckless and arbitrary actions!

Not only did the Unification Association suffer heavy losses, but the Sun Group's business in China was also severely affected.

I propose that those responsible be severely punished!

Choi Tae-won was extremely pleased with himself.

The vice president is stationed in Japan most of the year and rarely returns unless facing a life-or-death crisis.

Today, he finally managed to get the old chairman to personally oversee things.

With his father backing him up, he felt that no one would dare to talk back, and the council hall could become his personal fiefdom.

However, a cold, hard voice came from the other side: "Your Highness, you are mistaken."

The speaker was Kim Jong-hwan, a key figure under the vice president and the elder of punishments.

He straightened his back and retorted, "The Chinese branch was destroyed..."

It was entirely the fault of those two idiots, Qian Shaogang and Wei Lianyin, who acted recklessly.

They deceived their superiors and subordinates, and went to kidnap Chinese children.

This is the work of the people below; what does it have to do with the vice president?

Now that Qian Shaogang is dead, and Wei Lianyin has also been executed on the personal order of the Vice President,

This can be considered as giving the organization an explanation.

What wrong has the Vice President done?

Choi Tae-won was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then slammed his hand on the table, pointed at Kim Jong-hwan, and shouted:

"Bullshit! Everyone knows the order to collect children was given by the vice president himself!"

Kim Jong-hwan stood up without backing down, responding sharply:

"Your Highness, would you dare say that again in front of the Vice President?"

When Choi Tae-won thought of the vice president's ruthless methods, his momentum immediately faltered, and he became somewhat speechless.

Bae Joo-hyun watched coldly, finding his outwardly strong but inwardly weak appearance utterly unbearable to look at.

Choi Tae-won's men, seeing their boss suffer a setback, naturally could not tolerate it.

He immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up to retaliate, implying that the other party's actions were extremely foolish and had even resulted in the loss of a precious God's Agent.

The vice president's men immediately retorted loudly, claiming that all the agents were unharmed and that they dared to check for themselves.

The two sides went back and forth, and the solemn council hall suddenly became noisy and bustling, turning into a marketplace.

"Cough cough cough..."

Choi Joo-young, who had been slumped in the main seat, suddenly coughed a few times.

The hoarse cough seemed to possess some kind of magic, instantly silencing everyone present, and the hall fell completely silent.

A firelight flickered in Choi Ju-young's cloudy old eyes. He stretched out a withered finger and pointed to the mask on his face.

The attendant understood immediately and stepped forward to remove the mask.

He took a moment to catch his breath and slowly said, "The vice president has already spoken with me about this matter."

Now that Wei Lianyin is dead, let's leave it at that.

"Father, how can you just let this go!"

Choi Tae-won looked at his father in disbelief.

He originally thought his father was there to support him, but to his surprise, his father chose to settle things peacefully.

"Shut up."

Choi Joo-young gave him a cold glance.

Those piercing eyes made Choi Tae-won feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he dared not utter another word.

Choi Ju-young's voice was hoarse, exuding an undeniable authority:

"Our China branch was destroyed, and we suffered a severe blow."

The most urgent task now is to lie low and recover our strength as soon as possible, rather than engaging in pointless infighting here.

He swept his scrutinizing gaze across the room, and the executives all lowered their heads, avoiding his sharp edge.

Seeing this, Choi Ju-yong felt somewhat relieved.

Despite his advanced age and declining health.

But as the founder of the Unification Association, as long as he has a breath left, he can barely force these two factions together.

Having said too much in one breath, Choi Ju-young's chest heaved violently, and he was having trouble breathing.

The attendant quickly put the breathing mask back on his face, allowing him to inhale two breaths of pure oxygen.

After regaining his composure, Choi Ju-young removed his mask again and raised a bombshell issue:

"I am preparing to begin rebuilding the China branch."

This is a difficult and dangerous task.

Of those present, who is willing to take on this heavy responsibility?

Upon hearing this, the air in the hall seemed to freeze.

Everyone lowered their heads deeply.

Rebuild the China branch?

That's practically suicide.

Everyone knows that the Chinese government is cracking down on the Unification Association.

Their original strongholds, funds, and connections were completely uprooted.

We had no money, no manpower, and had to start everything from scratch.

Running there at this time would be a certain death sentence if you got caught.

Everyone here is shrewd, and no one wants to be the unlucky one to stick their neck out.
