Chapter 1502: 505: Choice_3

Chapter 1502: Chapter 505: Choice_3The waiting journalists and citizens, upon seeing the sudden change, cheered one after another.

“Lord Long Bai!”

…

“Dear citizens, the results of the Federation election are out. Lord Long Bai has claimed victory and succeeded in becoming the Acting Council Chairman. We will continue to report for you.”

….

The journalists enthusiastically reported the latest situation.

———————————————————————-

The next morning.

The main street of Starlight City was freshly cleaned and renewed.

The entire Federation Government Building was adorned with dazzling colorful ribbons, and a grand stage was set up in the central open area.

Numerous council members, officials, and generals attended in formal attire, engaging in jovial conversations.

In the outermost area, thousands of journalists gathered, setting up professional equipment, preparing to film the inauguration ceremony.

In fact, due to the Federation’s current dire situation, time was extremely pressing, making the prepared ceremony a bit rushed. However, even so, the logistics personnel did their best to arrange it with the highest specifications.

At this moment, Long Chen and his two companions stood not far away. The number of council members and generals surrounding them was significantly fewer compared to the time of the election, with some council members who were closer to Long Chen deliberately keeping their distance.

There is a saying, although it’s quite common, that victors are kings, losers are bandits since ancient times!

No matter what, Long Bai successfully ascended the throne.

At this time, Su Ming, wearing a General Uniform adorned with countless dazzling badges on his chest, walked over from afar.

“General Su Ming!”

“You’re here!”

…

A number of council members enthusiastically approached at the sight of Su Ming, surrounding him completely.

“Hmm!”

Su Ming looked at the unfamiliar faces before him and nodded in response.

Even though everyone was quite warm to him before, it was never this exaggerated, truly giving off the feeling of a person achieving success leading to the elevation of those around them.

At this moment Gakels City Lord, Vice City Lord Okens, and others also entered the venue, with many people going up to exchange pleasantries.

“Lord Gakels City Lord, you look so spirited today, feeling much younger.”

“Haha, really?”

“Definitely!”

…

From afar, Long Ying saw so many people surrounding Su Ming and Gakels, and said to Long Chen with self-mockery.

“Third brother, these guys are really fickle, even before Long Bai’s inauguration, they’ve already eagerly switched sides.”

“Let it be, let them do what they want. Accepting defeat graciously leaves no room for complaints!”

Though Long Chen was incredibly frustrated, he knew the situation was irreversible, and saying anything was futile.

On the other side, Su Mulong and Beludo were also chatting cheerfully.

“Old Su, you said you wouldn’t act alone? Luckily, we were cautious and voted with you in the end.”

“Yes, otherwise we’d have been doomed by you.”

“Damn it, alright, blame it on me, okay? Next time, I’ll treat you both, to make it up to you!”

Su Mulong was also in a bittersweet state.

At this moment, Beludo saw Su Ming surrounded by the crowd from afar, and said enviously.

“Old Su, your great-grandson is getting more and more extraordinary.”

“Yeah! I’m really envious of you.”

Fasad also chimed in.

“Well, this kid truly has talent! Who knows to what extent he can achieve in the future?”

Su Mulong, looking at Su Ming conversing with numerous council members, replied with great emotion.

At that moment, Minister Ferisian stepped forward and cleared his throat, saying.

“Everyone, quiet down!”

The previously noisy venue suddenly quieted down, and everyone stopped talking, looking towards Ferisian.

“The succession ceremony is about to begin, please stand in your designated positions!”

Ferisian instructed everyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone began moving to their designated spots.

Su Ming, seeing the crowd around him disperse, heaved a sigh of relief and headed towards the front right.

All members with council status stood on the left side, officers stood on the right, leaving a wide space in the middle.

“Su Ming, over here!”

Ferion gestured to Su Ming.

Su Ming hurried over to stand beside Ferion, lowering his voice to ask.

“Where’s Lord Long Bai?”

“I’m not sure, since the victory yesterday, I haven’t seen her. But with the succession ceremony about to start, Lord Long Bai should be arriving soon.”

Ferion checked the time and said.

“Hmm.”

Su Ming slightly nodded in response.

….

Federation Administrative Building.

In a clean and tidy room, Long Bai, dressed in a purple council robe, quietly sat in front of the dressing table.

Yun Rou stood behind Long Bai, gently combing Long Bai’s long purple hair with a wooden comb.

Long Bai looked at herself in the dressing mirror, her cold eyes glimmering, with thoughts inevitably returning to last night.

In the office.

Long Bai stood with her back to the window, gazing out at the scenery.

Squeak!

The door was pushed open, and Long Chen walked in expressionlessly.

At this moment, Long Bai slowly turned around, looking at Long Chen coldly, she said.

“Long Chen, you lost! Do you have anything to say?”

“I know, although you won and became the Federation’s Council Chairman. However, with my current power and strength, it might not be so easy for you to deal with us.”

“I never intended to deal with you; you should be more aware than anyone of the Federation’s current situation.”

“Of course, I am. Without my full cooperation, the Federation wouldn’t be able to withstand it.”

“Since you understand, why are you so resistant?”

Long Bai asked, staring at Long Chen.

“Do you want to hear the real reason?”

Long Chen looked at Long Bai and asked.

“Yes.”

Long Bai responded in a deep voice.

“Fine, then I’ll tell you. The reason I had to compete with you is not because I doubt your ability, nor because I must be the Council Chairman. It’s because I cannot watch the power of the Dragon Family slip away. You can call me old-fashioned, rigid, even feudal, whatever. Rather than letting the Dragon Family’s power slip away and be destroyed in my hands, I’d rather see the Federation crumble, everyone wander or perish. The only thing I care about is the Dragon Family!”
