Guide to tame my villainous husbands - Chapter 609

Chapter 609: Persuasion Chapter 609: Persuasion Long Ju soon realized what it meant to live a life worse than a nightmare.

Back when Mo Qiang told her that apart from her, no one would be able to send the army of Giant Leeching Mosquitoes, she thought that Mo Qiang was only making big talk and nothing else.  How could a woman who did not even have a proper core, which was neither mecha core nor beast tamer core, control an army of Giant Leeching Mosquitoes?

She even laughed at Mo Qiang’s confidence.

Long Ju was certain that she would find a beast tamer who would be able to control the army of Giant Leeching Mosquitoes.  However, days turned into weeks and not one beast tamer could send the Giant Leeching Mosquitoes away from her territory.

They did not even budge and without a beast tamer, there was no way Long Ju could control the Giant Leeching Mosquitoes, even killing them was out of the question as it would only double the trouble.  She was certainly not laughing now.  Even her mother was on the verge of breaking, earlier they had talked big in front of Mo Qiang and now that they were in this situation, neither of them knew what to do now.  No, Long Ju knew what she needed to do to send the army of Giant Leeching Mosquitoes away, but she really did not want to do it.  “Miss Long, the council is here.

They say that they want to talk to you,” Shen Tu spoke through the intercom.  The council?

Long Ju felt her head throb and a sense of unease climbed her spine.

She knew that if the elders of her territory were here to see her, then nothing good was going to come out of their sudden visit.  Though Long Ju knew this, she also knew that she couldn’t avoid the elders even if she wanted to, as even her mother had to meet the elders of the territory if they called for her.   With a sigh, she got up from the chair on which she was sitting and then walked out of the office before heading to the meeting room.

The conference room was on the other side of the mansion away from the main quarters of the Long family.  Though Madam Long did not break the council and the power of the elders, she did not trust those elderly men and women, which was why she kept them away from the main Manor lest they steal any important information.

Long Ju was the same, she continued to keep the elders at bay as she did not have any trust in them.  The elders did not say anything either, as they had little to no affection and trust for the Long family either.

They all had been working together for so long because their interests were closely tied to one another.

If not for the fact, they would have gone separate ways long ago.  However, now that the territory was in this situation, Long bit her lower lip.

She had a sense of foreboding which turned even more intense when she pushed the button of the conference room and stepped inside.  The atmosphere inside the conference room was stiff, and every elder was looking at her as if they were silently questioning what she was doing with her position and the power that she was holding in her hands.  “Good day to all of you,” Long Ju ignored the gazes that were fixed on her and then headed to the seat that belonged to the head of the meeting.

She pulled it back and then sat down before turning to look at the elders, who turned their attention to her as well.

“May I ask you, why are you all here without any prior notice?” Long Ju questioned.  Though she was scared inwardly, she pretended to be calm on the surface.  “I am afraid that Miss Long is already aware of the reason,” Elder Tan spoke up.

With her white hair tied in a bun, she looked at Long Ju sternly, her turbid eyes stared at Long Ju with a scrutinizing gaze as she continued to speak, “You and your mother told us that the Giant Leeching Mosquitoes will be dealt with in a week, and we trusted you.

But…”  Elder Wan took over from there as she spoke coldly, “But it has been more than just a week, and we have seen no signs of progress, much less the army of Giant Leeching Mosquitoes moving away.

Instead, the Giant Leeching Mosquitoes are moving closer, if this goes on then the entire land will become the land of zombies, does Miss Long have any idea how hard it is for us to go on with our day-to-day work?

We can’t even summon the strength to work hard every day if this goes on, then our territory will be ruined.”  “We need answers,” said another elder with a frown.

“If this situation doesn’t improve, then I am afraid that we will have to look for another measure.”  Though she did not say it directly, by another measure the elder most probably meant that she was going to file a petition for the head of the council to be changed.

Which meant that Long Ju would have to abdicate her position as the head and the leader of the territory.  Long Ju clenched her fists.

She was not surprised that the elders were here to question her in fact, she knew that this day would come when Mo Qiang boldly declared that no one would be able to help her, but Long Ju being the foolish one, refused to admit it, she had believed that sooner or later, she would be able to get her hands on the solution to this problem, but Long Ju did not know that everything that started with Mo Qiang would end with her too.  ” Are you threatening me?” She questioned the elders, who raised their brows.  Elder Tan scoffed and then said, “No we are not threatening you, we are asking you to do your duty and you must protect the people of this territory, instead of selfishly ignoring us!”
