Dai Lixing stepped into the council hall, his cold gaze sweeping over everyone present.
The members of the Main Star council were already seated. At their head was a white-haired elder, the council chairman Galileo, known for his stern demeanor.
"Marshal, regarding the new regulations for gene selection, I've received word that the Dai Family is willing to lead the discussion. However, the Main Star's other families seem less than pleased."
Galileo spoke, his voice hoarse but filled with authority.
"Whether they're pleased or not depends on if they still want the Federation to remain stable."
Dai Lixing didn't break stride, his tone indifferent. "You're all familiar with the genetic black market in the border 'Ashes' Star Domain, I presume? And the 'Dawn' virus… I hear its source can be traced to an abandoned genetics lab on the Main Star. If one were to investigate that…"
"Marshal Dai, you need proof to make such claims!"
