Richardson took out a manuscript decently, looked at it, and continued:

"Regarding this incident of violating the rules of this competition, it should be noted that as early as the opening day of this conference, a cultivator who was not under our control trespassed into his country's borders and had been looking for the venue of this conference, and finally came to the arena. When Mr. Wilson and his subordinates found out about this, they launched an investigation and arrest operation without communicating with us and without our consent......"

Lao Zhou remained silent, but he was secretly laughing in his heart. The purpose of Richardson's "official statement" was undoubtedly to defend Wilson and to exonerate them and preserve their image by presenting their violation as a misunderstanding...... However, things like this are all too common in international forums. It is difficult to refute the arguments carefully prepared by the other side without strong evidence that the other side does not have; besides, on such occasions, everyone generally maintains a friendly and cooperative atmosphere that they know very well, and there is no need to tear their faces and chase after them so that everyone cannot get off the stage. After all, no matter how fierce the fight between the two sides is, there are still many places that need to be cooperated.

Therefore, when Richardson finished reading this "official article," Lao Zhou showed a "so it is" expression and said:

"It's really shocking and regrettable that something like this happened. We will not comment on this breach for the time being. But thank you, Mr. Richardson, for your responsible statement. ”

Lao Zhou is also very shrewd. He did not express his acceptance of the other party's explanation, but said, "No comment for the time being." In other words, if it is necessary in the future. I can still take it out and comment again.

However, such a statement still shows the attitude of "turning big things into small things and letting the other party go".

This attitude has made Richardson very satisfied. In fact, he himself was very resistant to this "official statement". Because it was a lie that he hated very much! But he couldn't say it, and it was not only about Wilson's face, but also about his face as the organizer of the conference. Now that Lao Zhou Ken has let this matter go gently, at least for now, he doesn't plan to hold on to it, which has made him greatly relieved.

But that's not the end of the story. This is where the main event begins.

"Well, congratulations on your success today. Richardson said. "Still, I think you know that. Something very sad happened on the field today......"

"Hmm. ”

Lao Zhou nodded. He knew Richardson would bring it up.

"That's when there were serious casualties on the field today...... Dear Zhou, I think we all know that cultivators compete and injuries are inevitable. But the purpose of the General Assembly has always been to oppose needless killing. It is forbidden to use lethal spells. ”

"That's true. ”

Old Zhou looked serious. It can even be said that it is grim. You know, the first person to die in the arena from a deadly spell was his men, and it was impossible for him to forget it.

"Well, Mr. Wilson has raised the ...... on the matter Well, negotiations. I would like to hear Mr. Zhou's views on this matter. ”

Richardson's words were as soft as possible. But Lao Zhou knew that with Wilson's character, he would never just make "representations," or at least "protest." Richardson changed the word. It is intended to moderate the sharpness of the fighting. And even if Richardson shows this attitude, it does not mean that he is on the side of China.

"Violation of the rules. The fatal incident is indeed a very serious matter and must be dealt with seriously. Lao Zhou said unhurriedly, as if this matter had nothing to do with China at all. "As far as I know, this is not the first time something like this has happened. So, Mr. Wilson, the last time this happened, how did you deal with it?"

"Last time...... well, last time we reaffirmed the rules of the General Assembly. ”

"Well, I suggest that this time we reiterate the rules again. ”

Lao Zhou said solemnly and firmly.

"Watts, again, dear ......."

"Shouldn't it?" said Lao Zhou, staring at Richardson and in an unquestionable tone. "Since there is a precedent to follow, it is natural for us to cite it. In front of the rules, no one should be anything special. Are you right?"

Richardson was a little speechless. He knew very well in his heart that Zhou's subordinates had died in a cultivation competition. On that occasion, despite his objections, the convention was manipulated by Wilson to make a decision that merely reaffirmed the rules of the game. The reason is high-sounding: the ascetic assembly is only a deliberative body, and has no power of punishment or coercion. This time, Zhou responded with the same reason, which is difficult for anyone to refute.

However, in this way, it is not easy to achieve the goal he wants. He's still going to have to fight for it.

"We can't keep repeating it, can we?" he said. "If it's just reiterated, then no one will pay attention to the rules in the future. Zhou, you are also a great cultivator, and it is also very important and beneficial for you to make and follow the rules......

"I couldn't agree more. But the assembly of practitioners is just a deliberative body, and it has no power of punishment or coercion. ”

Lao Zhou said slowly.

Of course, Richardson knew that Lao Zhou would say that.

"It is true that there is no power of punishment and coercion, but that does not mean that there are no ways to deal with it. Richardson said. "For example, the General Assembly may make some kind of declaration, express a certain attitude, and make reparations. This is also a ...... in the spirit of humanitarianism."

Although Chason was a little vague in what he said, Lao Zhou understood his intentions. "Some kind of statement" is actually condemnation, and in the international arena, reparations are not just a matter of money, which means that you admit that it is your fault.

"Well, it really works. He muttered. "If this precedent can be set at this conference, it can be said to be a major contribution of this conference. ”

"Yes, we should also work together to keep the conference moving forward. ”

Richardson was really, very desperately eager for this "contribution." He accepted the "order" to try to exonerate Wilson from his side, but it was impossible to claim Wilson's complete innocence. In this case, if China can be punished, it will attract everyone's attention and make everyone think that China's problems are even bigger. In this way, the pressure on Wilson's side will be greatly reduced. Moreover, the stigma of poorly organized meetings can be eliminated to some extent through the imposition of post-event punishments.

"I am in favour of improving the system of the General Assembly. As you said, it's in everyone's interest. We support the General Assembly's handling of the relevant violations. "Old Zhoudao.

"Is this official?"

Richardson asked tentatively.

"It's official, of course. (To be continued......)
