Chapter 848 -411: Bloody Slaughter Gate, The Vacant Seat of the Brain Trust – Part 2
“Bloody Slaughter Gate, Bloody Slaughter Gate, Bloody Slaughter Gate…”
“What new power is this?”
Luo Ping slightly narrowed his eyes, contemplating silently in his heart.
But no matter how much he considered,

he couldn’t recall any impression of Bloody Slaughter Gate.
Thus, helplessly,
Luo Ping could only quietly set aside the urgent governmental affairs in his hand, while shifting his gaze to the members of the Brain Trust in front of him.
“Who handled the matters concerning the Bloody Slaughter Gate?”
Luo Ping silently surveyed the members of the Brain Trust before him, his voice slightly icy and devoid of any emotion as he inquired in a low tone.
Although Luo Ping’s voice, being the current Patriarch of the Luo Family, was not very loud,
his questioning, like a thunderclap, seemed to explode directly in the minds of the Brain Trust members.
“Bloody Slaughter Gate?”
“What power is that?”
Inside the Brain Trust, someone couldn’t help but frown slightly, pondering.
Likewise, within the Brain Trust, some looked on with a Schadenfreude expression,
silently watching those nearby.
It had been said before that among these hundred members of the Brain Trust, many factions existed.
Among them, the larger factions comprised about ten people.
The smaller factions consisted of two, three or maybe five to six people.
Of course, for various reasons,
each member of the Brain Trust was responsible for different areas and matters, which were mostly distinct from each other.
Only some very significant matters
would involve the entire Brain Trust.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances,
they pretty much each minded their own business,
quite akin to the saying: one only sweeps the snow from one’s own doorstep, why bother about the frost on others’ roof tiles?
This Brain Trust, with a hundred people and many factions,
was rife with undefinable competition.
Looking only after oneself and ignoring others was already considered quite decent.
At least, there wasn’t any malicious competition.
…
As Luo Ping, being the current Patriarch of the Luo Family, finished speaking,
the atmosphere within the room immediately became somewhat tense.
Almost all the Brain Trust members at that moment bowed their heads,
even refraining from glancing at others casually,
as if they were afraid that such an act might draw the attention of Luo Ping, the current Patriarch of the Luo Family.
However, some were not so cautious.
That did not mean that everyone was hesitant.
Look, Luo Yao, who was next in line to be the Patriarch of the Luo Family, standing beside Luo Ping,
was now scanning the members of the Brain Trust with a face full of curiosity,
as if he were a bystander idly watching an event unfold.
The curiosity and delight in his eyes were completely apparent.
“Family Head, the matter concerning the Bloody Slaughter Gate was, was, was handled by your subordinate…”
A middle-aged man, slender and with strands of silver among his hair,
now stood up somewhat tremblingly.
The matter concerning the Bloody Slaughter Gate had occurred in the area he was specifically in charge of managing.
In fact, the impact of this matter
had been something he had been trying to suppress with all his might from the very beginning.
Even the family power behind him
had been trying to suppress the impact of this matter to its fullest.
Of course, most importantly,
he must not let Luo Ping, the current Patriarch of the Luo Family, become aware of this matter.
However, helpless against the passage of time, the influence of the Bloody Slaughter Gate gradually became larger.
Until it was noticed by other members of the Brain Trust, or by the family powers behind the Brain Trust,
this matter was completely exposed.
And it was even made into a report, sent before Luo Ping, the current Patriarch of the Luo Family.
“Was it you?”
Luo Ping silently stared at the man.
He slightly narrowed his eyes and after observing for a moment,
he couldn’t help but sigh.
This person, he still had some impression of.
It seemed that within Qingshi City, a recommendation had come from a family with considerable strength, and then Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family, had chosen him.
Yet, what was somewhat unexpected was…
This guy would cause such a problem.
The problem was neither big nor small.
However, since the problem had been brought up directly and even presented before him,
then Luo Ping, as the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family, naturally could not ignore it.
“Blood Slaughter Gate has revived…”
“Over three thousand people have been slaughtered…”
“This indeed is your fault.”
Luo Ping looked at the person before him as he spoke softly.
And that person, at this time, had already turned pale and lowered his head.
It was all over, completely over.
This member of the Brain Trust seemed already to see his future.
Of course, death was not necessarily forthcoming.
But then, his seat at this Brain Trust, was probably unstable now.
Those colleagues beside him, as well as the people in Qingshi City who still aspired towards a Brain Trust seat, or other family forces,
would not easily let him off the hook.
“What does everyone think should be done about this matter?”
Luo Ping finally glanced at the person.
Then, he shifted his gaze to the other members of the Brain Trust.
And as Luo Ping asked this question,
the harsh criticisms and condemnations from nearby members of the Brain Trust also continuously emerged.
Seeing those members, red-faced and thick-necked as they spoke,
one might truly think they were advocating for the common people who died at the hands of Bloody Slaughter Gate.
Approximately after another incense stick burned down,
this matter also had a common outcome.
That was to strip this person of his Brain Trust seat.
And moreover, to expel him from Qingshi City.
Although, aside from that, there were no other punishments,
but these alone were already far greater than death.
The Brain Trust was under the Luo Family of Qingshi City.
Similarly, it was also synonymous with absolute power.
The territory under the Luo Family of Qingshi City was vast,
but the Brain Trust had only a mere hundred seats.
Countless people, countless family forces, had tried everything possible, sharpened their own minds to squeeze in but couldn’t.
And now, someone had suddenly been stripped of their Brain Trust membership.
Losing a seat in the Brain Trust.
What this matter represented was thus self-explanatory.
“Is this the end?”
Inside the room.
Luo Yao, who stood beside the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family and was the heir to the next head of the Luo Family of Qingshi City,
he raised his head, silently looking at what was before him.
A man, pale and somewhat dazed in expression,
seemed to have aged a decade or two in just a moment.
He couldn’t help but purse his lips, then shook his head to himself.
The competition for power was this cruel.
Especially for this Brain Trust with only a hundred seats.
It was being watched closely by countless individuals and family forces.
This matter originally didn’t have much impact.
As long as that member of the Brain Trust quickly handled the reviving Blood Slaughter Gate within his area,
the matter would naturally end.
But unfortunately, this matter had been found out by others.
And it was just so nakedly presented before Luo Ping, the Current Patriarch of the Luo Family.
Thus, what was originally not a big deal,
had to be dealt with out in the open.
“Now, with one missing from the hundred seats of the Brain Trust…”
“Soon, whether it’s the Inner City or the Outer City of Qingshi City, it’s likely to become quite lively…”
Inside the room.
Luo Yao, the heir to the next head of the Luo Family,
narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn’t help but silently think in his heart.
