Chapter 1101: Dahe and Skull's Scheming Agenda
After the members' meeting in the morning, the Presidium meeting was held in the afternoon.
The agenda of the Presidium meeting mainly consisted of two topics: First, to weaken the power of the Presidium and return power to the General Assembly; second, due to the expulsion of the Korea Mercenary Team, a new Presidium member team needs to be elected.
There were no objections from our side on the first topic. However, on the second topic, several teams had their own considerations and recommended their direct lineage teams to take the position.
Of course, this was not acceptable. Qin Tian directly refused, "Today we will not recommend any teams; we will only decide to elect a team to fill the vacancy. Let's do it this way, we'll send out this notice, and a month later, we will hold an election. I must emphasize that any team has the right to run and can participate in the election. And the method of winning is very simple: a vote by all at the General Assembly, and the one with the highest vote rate wins."
The Presidium members have considerable power and influence. Now that there is a vacancy, both Skull and Dahe naturally want to place their trusted teams in it.
Of course, Qin Tian is no exception.
However, among the teams currently close to War Dragon, there are indeed not many strong teams, so Qin Tian employed a delaying tactic, postponing it for a month.
After all, this is a rare opportunity for a reshuffle of influence among the Presidium members, and Qin Tian does not want Skull and Dahe's people to rise to power again.
After three consecutive days of meetings in Bangkok, the major policies of the Asian Mercenary Association were finally basically settled.
The remaining details were fully handled by Zhou Yang according to Qin Tian's instructions.
The original situation was a struggle between Skull and Dahe, but now, with the sudden intervention of War Dragon, the situation has become complicated in an instant.
In such circumstances, the originally high-profile and intense confrontation between Skull and Dahe suddenly quieted down, becoming so calm that Qin Tian even felt the air was filled with a suffocating murderous aura carrying hatred.
In fact, it was so. After the meeting, Okazaki Yokawa immediately took Yuko Kosai back to Japan, swiftly went to visit Master Shin with great respect.
In Master Shin's living room, Okazaki Yokawa recounted Qin Tian's performance in detail and said, "Master Shin, judging by Qin Tian's skills, he is estimated to have reached the peak of Qigong, and to be honest, there is really no one among our Dahe people who can contend with him. So..."
"Hmph, so you want me to step in?"
Matsushita Shi picked up where he left off, sneering, "Yokawa-kun, although Sensei told me to help your Dahe as much as possible, you can't come to me for every trivial matter and expect me to personally intervene, right?"
"I'm not boasting, but in the Japanese Martial Arts World, I am considered a master. Facing an ordinary guy you want me to take action against is a bit rash, isn't it?"
In face of Matsushita Shi's questioning, Okazaki Yokawa could only nod with a smile, "Master Shin is right, it's just that within my Dahe's team, there's truly no one who can match Qin Tian..."
"Aren't there many fellow disciples in our sect? They can't handle this so-called Qin Tian you mentioned?"
"Uh... I've seen the skills of the third and fifth junior brothers. If they are willing to help, Qin Tian will definitely meet his end. It's just, the third and fifth brothers have been secluded for cultivation for nearly a year, I don't even know where they are, how can I invite them to come out and help?"
"Hmph, they are cultivating in Southeast Asia. I'll give you an address, you go find them. For an inconspicuous Qi Gong practitioner, just let one of the two handle it. Against a Qi Gong practitioner, either of them is more than enough."
"Yes, yes, so sorry for troubling Master Shin. Youzi, you stay here and report Dahe's recent work well to Master Shin. I have something else to attend to, I will take my leave."
Okazaki Yokawa winked at Yuko Kosai, signaling her to take good care of Matsushita Shi, then he respectfully retreated.
While Dahe was plotting strategies to deal with War Dragon and Qin Tian, Meng Kuang and Hu Zhengwei also went to Zhao Baijing's presidential suite to tell him about the upheaval in the Asian Mercenary Association.
After hearing it, Zhao Baijing walked to the window and said, "Haha, unexpectedly there is Qin Tian, didn't foresee it."
"This Qin Tian is the disciple of Cao Taiji, the founder of the original Dragon Soul. With Cao Taiji gone, it's unexpected that Qin Tian renamed it War Dragon and is managing it pretty well."
Zhao Baijing walked a few steps in the room and then sat back on the sofa, saying, "Back in the day, Cao Taiji was a master of similar strength to mine, just a little inferior. This Qin Tian brat, wonder how much he has learned from Cao Taiji. Hehe, according to what Zhengwei said, he's at least a top-notch Qi Gong expert. Interesting, hmph hmph..."
"Master, our seventh special operations team was almost wiped out by that mysterious expert from Dahe. Now we, Skull, are quite weak in Asia. I suggest we should seek reinforcements from headquarters and have them dispatch more experts here."
Meng Kuang thought for a moment and said.
Zhao Baijing brushed his beard and said, "As one of Skull's Four Heavenly Kings, I've already stepped in personally in less than a month, and you want me to ask for help from headquarters again? Hehe, where do you want your master's face to go? Besides, it's just a mere Qin Tian, do we need to act as if Skull is facing a major enemy?"
Zhao Baijing's words made Meng Kuang lower his head in shame.
"Enough, I'll handle this myself."
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Baijing said, "Cao Taiji can be considered an old acquaintance of mine, and having his disciple die by my hand, is also a kind of fate."
"Master, I think now is not the time for you to personally deal with Qin Tian."
Just as Zhao Baijing finished his words, Hu Zhengwei spoke up.
Strictly speaking, Hu Zhengwei is not Zhao Baijing's official disciple, but since he has been following Meng Kuang, he eventually started calling him that.
"Oh? Zhengwei, what are your thoughts?"
Upon hearing Hu Zhengwei's words, Zhao Baijing looked surprised and turned his gaze to him.
Hu Zhengwei said, "Qin Tian and War Dragon must be eliminated, or at least be driven out of the Asian Mercenary Association. However, currently, the ones to deal with War Dragon shouldn't be us leading the charge. I believe we should watch how things unfold as certain people will surely take action against Qin Tian before us."
Hu Zhengwei spoke very clearly, and Meng Kuang nodded, "Zhengwei is right. In this chairman election, Dahe originally had an air of absolute confidence. Yet, the chairman position that Okazaki Yokawa thought was in the bag was snatched by Qin Tian. Do you think this brat can swallow this insult?"
