Chapter 888: Chapter 888

The secretary’s few short words came out trembling, filled with excitement, and laced with disbelief!

That was Busan Divine Ruins, how could it have been purified?

The bigwigs of Sejong Zheng were all stunned at once. Park Sangwon, who had sharp angled eyes, was about to put a piece of fugu fish into his mouth with his chopsticks when he heard the news. His hand shook, and the fish drenched in delicious sauce fell onto his lapel, but he didn’t even notice.

The shock of this news was too immense.

In the grand VIP hall, music still played, but the five female artists from the top-tier girl group Crown had stopped singing; their expressions froze.

After being dazed for dozens of seconds, they all burst into excited cheers.

"Ah ah ah, that’s great!"

"Busan Divine Ruins have been purified!"

"It must have been Oppa Jin Xian who did it, right?"

In Goryeo, where there are few rulers, news could travel across the country in just a few hours.

Busan, which had been hit by a meteor eleven years ago and turned into God’s ruins, had witnessed many deaths and caused many people to be displaced. It’s become a national pain.

Now that the Divine Ruins had been purified, it meant that the nation had gained a piece of land back, and those who had lost their homes could return.

If it were any other day, the five female artists wouldn’t dare to chirp incessantly in front of these important figures, losing composure, but the news today was just too joyful. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveI-Fire.ɴet

Choi JiMin, standing in the center, was so excited her face turned red, and she picked up the microphone, about to say some flattering words when the bigwig with sharp angled eyes grabbed a wine bottle and smashed it toward her angrily.

The wine bottle flew at no slow speed, but Choi JiMin could have dodged it. Yet she stood still, not daring to move, because she understood that dodging now and not allowing the bigwig to vent his anger would mean a worse cleanup afterwards. Maybe even her career would be over.

The wine bottle smashed on the ground, shattering loudly, with the crimson wine spreading.

Only then did the five girl group members realize that these bigwigs, each of them, had a grave expression.

They couldn’t understand. Shouldn’t the purification of Busan Divine Ruins be good news?

Li Zhenghe came back to his senses, picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and tried to regain his calm demeanor.

If it weren’t for the gravity of the situation, the old foxes present wouldn’t have lost their composure .

"Busan Divine Ruins have been purified!"

The secretary repeated it.

Park Sangwon glared with his sharp-angled eyes, exuding an intimidating aura.

The secretary nodded. "The dark fog enveloping Busan’s skies is dissipating quickly; it’s estimated that in at most two days, it will completely vanish. This city, polluted for eleven years, will be rebuilt in light!"

The bigwigs exchanged glances.

"Don’t be nervous, everyone. Think on the bright side, maybe Jin Xian killed the Divine Being!"

The man who was playing peacemaker just now was Choi Seunghyun, with a round face and a few wrinkles on his forehead tried to force a smile to lighten the mood, but he couldn’t manage it.

"Do you think that’s possible?"

Park Sangwon sneered.

It wasn’t a secret to the people of Sejong Zheng that there was a Divine Being in Busan Divine Ruins.

"You’re underestimating Jin Xian too much!"

Li Zhenghe retorted, annoyed: "Jin Xian is growing too!"

Inside Sejong Zheng, there were factions, and Jin Xian was someone Li Zhenghe had personally promoted, so naturally, he defended him.

"That’s right, even if Jin Xian couldn’t kill the Divine Being, he could have benefited from the strife between others. Maybe he managed to steal the chicken right from under the Yellowstone Group’s Great Shaman’s nose!"

Choi Seunghyun analyzed, and if that was the case, it would be perfect.

"Notify all God Hunters to drop whatever important work they have in their hands, put it down immediately, and proceed to Busan Divine Ruins. Impose martial law on all the main roads and carry out strict surveillance!"

"For all God Hunters entering or leaving Busan, they must be thoroughly checked, even pry their anuses open for me to make sure."

"I absolutely will not allow them to leave Goryeo with the Divine Being’s carcass and Taboo things!"

"Notify the President, deploy the army, and provide full support!"

Park Sangwon issued the orders at an extremely fast pace, and finished by looking towards Li Zhenghe and Choi Seunghyun. "You don’t have any objections, right?"

Even Li Zhenghe, who was at odds with Park Sangwon, nodded his head at this moment.

They absolutely wouldn’t allow the Divine Being’s relics to be taken out of Goryeo.

The secretary also came to his senses, realizing the gravity of the situation, and hurried off to pass on the instructions.

Choi Seunghyun cursed at Choi JiMin. These highly-regarded female artists who were almost untouchable to others were less than dogs in the eyes of these bigwigs.

Choi JiMin and the other four bowed and walked out.

They knew that what the bigwigs would discuss next was not something they were qualified to hear.

Once the room was filled with their own people, Choi Seunghyun spoke up again, "If it was Xia Qila who killed the Divine Being, we probably can’t get the spoils back!"

Everyone’s faces darkened, looking grim. Xia Qila was a member of the Illumination Hermit Association, an organization Sejong Zheng couldn’t afford to offend.

"I said it before, we shouldn’t have let Xia Qila into God’s ruins!"

Li Zhenghe cursed, but such statements only drew eye rolls and mockery.

Could you stop the people from the fatherland?

"We should think quickly about how to minimize losses now!"

Choi Seunghyun sighed.

They at least had to secure one or two relics of the Divine Being.

In everyone’s minds, the one who most likely killed the Busan Divine Being was assumed to be Xia Qila leading the North American Yellowstone Group, because apart from her, no one had the strength.
