Chapter 695 Humans Of The Union

In the inner sun domain, within the human sector in the private sector region, 

Fifteen humans were gathered in a large hall, and their focus of attention was none other than Joseph, who stood there with quite an ugly expression. 

"Why aren't you answering me, Elder Joseph? Why didn't you try harder to persuade that boy to come under our protection? If his talent is as good as High Elder, then you have made a grave mistake!" An old woman in a Union Elder robe sternly berated while the others remained silent in agreement. 

"With all due respect Sixth Head, as I told you many times, I invited him, but he refused. He even refused the high elders of the other races, so do you think he will come with me just because we belonged to the same race? 

"That boy's ambition is grand, and I can't go against his wishes to drag him into the private sector according to the Union Rules. He's not related to any Elder or High Elder in our union. 

"Furthermore, I have already contacted the High Elder, but I got no reply, so I'm not to blame for this!" Joseph retorted without holding back in exasperation. 

"Presumptuous! You dare to blame high elder?!" An old man with a gray beard instantly slammed his palm on the table.

Joseph's expression turned cold as he scanned the room, "So what if I did? It's not like he cared about us or anything, and now I understand why this is the case!" 

Everyone's expression sank as they looked coldly at Joseph with a dark expression they knew he was referring to them. They were the fifteen heads of the human sectors who had control over all the territory of the human sector. 

Only High Elder could interfere with them, which he seemed to be didn't care about, so now these fifteen were like lords of this place, and everything went according to their whim.

The moment they found out about White from Klay, they instantly summoned a grand meeting, and Joseph became a guest of this grand meeting. 

However, Joseph knew better that this was not some invitation but an integration summoning, and he was as right. They made him spill all the beans, or they were just confirming the information they got from Klay. 

The poor guy was helpless against these powerful union elders, so he had no choice but reveal everything about the entrance test and how White refused every invitation. 

However, Joseph wasn't like Klay. He was also a Union Elder and much younger than this lot. They were only the slightest bit more experienced than him in cultivation and had over five hundred years under their belt in seniority. 

But now, Joseph feels extremely disgusted by these guys after he meets with White. He felt they were nothing but bunches of idiots who had lost themselves in power, and they were clearly not satisfied with it.

If anything, he was now quite relieved that White didn't come here and chose to walk on his own path, or he might've gotten corrupted by these bureaucrats. They were no longer cultivators. 

Without giving them any chance, Joseph sternly said, "I'm resigning as a Private Elder and going back to be the Open Domain Elder. You guys can keep your resources." 

Everyone's expression changed when they heard, and a hint of panic appeared in their heart. They knew how precious a union elder rank cultivator was, and this would be a huge blow to their race if they lost even one. 

"You! Have you gone mad?" A middle-aged man yelled before he appeared right in front of Joseph, who was turning around to leave.

"Family Head, you have been quite kind to me all these years. But I'm done with this gloomy place. I'm going to cultivate in isolation from now on. Give my place to someone else." Joseph's cold expression softened a bit, but he was resolute about his decision. 

"You can cultivate here. About the boy, we are only frustrated and worried about his well-being since he might encounter some mishap in the outer sun domain. We never planned to blame you. Don't take it to heart." The middle-aged man quickly changed his stern expression to a kind one. 

"Yes, just as First Head said, we were only worried about the genius of our race. We are not blaming you." 

The other also started to sing the same tone in sync. 

Joseph was left speechless and at a loss about how to react. In the end, he shook his head in derision and started walking again without replying. 

"Where are you going?" The first head squinted his eyes as he still blocked the way of Joseph. 

Joseph inhaled sharply before his soft expression turned icy, "First head if you continue to block the way, I'll activate the reinforcer trial against you. Don't forget a Union Elder is free to join or leave the private sector region. 

"If it were found that someone was forcing the other party or threatening him with underhanded methods, it would not bode well for the opposite side. And I happened to have very high confidence that I could prove that I was being threatened. Do you want to find out if I'm bluffing or telling the truth?" A purple union token appeared in Joseph's hand at this moment. 

This made the entire room deadly silent, and they all looked at Joseph in disbelief. He was really serious about all this!

The first head looked at Joseph and then the token in his hand with an ugly expression. He was really furious right now and wanted to slap those two guys who made the situation worse. 

"Joseph…" 

"No going to step aside?" Joseph cut him short before his token started to shine suddenly. 

"Wait, I'm about to. I just wanted to say you are making a mistake. Despite that, this is your home, and you can come back anytime." First Head gloomily stated before he got out of Joseph's way. 

"Heh, I'll make sure to remember that!" Joseph sneered before he walked past the first head and left the hall without looking back. 

"What now?" the seventh head, who was a young woman, asked with a grave expression. 

The first head replied gloomily, "We need to keep an eye on that boy. If he's a genius, we need to get him, no matter the cost. Once he's under our thumb, we can slowly turn him our bridge towards wealth!"

Everyone's eyes shimmered with greed as they all solemnly nodded!
