Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3681: Go By Yourself, We Won’t Partake

Nie Qingru frowned. “We can’t just watch them get the chip components and rare earths. Stopping the ship is our only way now.”

“I don’t agree. If you decide to stop the ship, our church won’t participate in this operation.” Quentin’s attitude was still the same.

Nie Qingru raised her eyebrows in anger and said gloomily, “Archbishop, what kind of attitude is this? Isn’t the church not a member of the reclusive families?”

Quentin tidied his robes and looked at her calmly. “Of course, the church is a member of the reclusive families.

“However, Empress, don’t forget that the reclusive families are gathered together for the common benefit of everyone.

“I can’t see the benefits behind your suggestion to stop the ships of Continent F’s two big bosses. As the head of the church, I must choose to refuse to cooperate.”

Nie Qingru couldn’t suppress her anger. She slammed the table hard, her eyes slightly cold. “I gather you don’t want to be enemies with Qiao Nian!”

Quentin looked at her neither too fast nor too slow. “Empress, watch your words.”

Nie Qingru said in a fit of anger, “Am I not telling the truth? I’ve long heard that you have a good relationship with Qiao Nian. You also know the Young Master Ye beside her, right? I also heard that you have an illegitimate son who lives in the independent continent—”

“That’s enough.” Quentin listened gracefully at first, but upon hearing the last bit, he suddenly waved his hand, stood up, and said to the woman sitting at the head of the table impolitely, “If the Empress asked me to come to discuss my private life, then there’s nothing to talk about!

“Everyone, I’ll leave first.” He turned around and left expressionlessly.

This action shocked everyone in the council hall. As Quentin walked away with his head held high, the neutral party members looked at each other before standing up, taking their things, and moving to leave.

The Privy Council was in an uproar.

Seeing that the situation was about to go out of control, Elder Xue hurriedly stood up to stop the Archbishop.

“Archbishop, the Empress didn’t do it on purpose. Her intentions are for the reclusive families’ sake. Perhaps there were some emotional factors when she spoke, you—”

“I don’t have any other intentions. I’m not feeling well and can’t participate in the meeting. You guys take your time to chat.”

Quentin bypassed him and walked away without looking back.

With a flash of red, he pushed open the door and left the council hall.

The other Neutral Faction members were no longer afraid and found excuses to leave.

In the blink of an eye, one-third of the seats in the large council hall were empty. Even the remaining two-thirds were unable to sit still and wanted to leave.

No one had expected things to develop to this extent!

Nie Qingru’s face was ashen. Her hands gripped the armrests tightly, her nails digging into the fluffy cushion.

She tried to make herself look calm, but her ferocious expression gave her away.

Nie Qingru did not expect the archbishop to be so disrespectful just because she mentioned an illegitimate child.

This had never happened in the Privy Council’s decades of history.

Since it had already happened, as one of the parties involved, Nie Qingru could only grit her teeth and endure it coldly. “Let’s continue the topic.”

Elder Xue was unable to stop the archbishop from leaving and could only return to his seat resentfully.

Nie Qingru was still bent on stopping the ships. “The church won’t participate, what about you? You won’t participate either? We definitely can’t let those things reach Beijing.”
