Chapter 391: Legacy (5-in-1)

At this moment, Batu was also fuming, angrily rejecting his companion’s suggestion.

“I’m not leaving, you guys go if you want, these guys are too much.”

Seeing that Batu wasn’t leaving, Sam and the others hesitated for a moment, then gritted their teeth and said,

“Batu, I’m sorry.”

After saying that, Sam and the others slunk away.

Only Batu and Lu Jiamu’s group remained, facing each other.

Lu Jiamu looked at Batu, a very arrogant smile on his face, and said,

“It seems you’re planning to be the one to stick your neck out.”

“I warn you, leave now, or don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Batu warned angrily.

Hearing this, Lu Jiamu’s face twitched, and he immediately threw a punch at Batu.

Batu raised his hands to block.

Bang!

The immense force immediately made him retreat step by step, and his entire arm was very painful.

However, just as Batu stood firm, Lu Jiamu rushed forward and delivered a sharp kick to Batu’s body.

Batu was immediately sent flying, crashing to the ground.

The guests on the scene immediately let out frightened screams.

“Ah!”

“Batu!”

Sophie Lin quickly went forward to check on Batu’s condition.

At this moment, Lu Jiamu turned his head and swept his gaze over the trembling guests, saying with a sneer,

“Have you all finished eating?”

The guests on the scene fled the restaurant in panic.

The once lively restaurant suddenly became quiet.

At this moment, one of Lu Jiamu’s subordinates suddenly saw Major General Su Ming and the others still sitting and eating in the corner, and said with a smile,

“Big Brother, there’s still a table in the corner that hasn’t left, and there are two very pretty girls too.”

Lu Jiamu turned his head and saw Su Ming and the others still eating and drinking calmly, a chilling smile appearing on his face.

He walked directly over with his subordinates.

Su Yuan and the others showed no reaction when they saw Lu Jiamu and his group heading towards them.

Soon, Lu Jiamu and his men walked to the table. He reached out, picked up Major General Su Ming’s wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, then placed it heavily on the table, saying with a sneer,

“Didn’t you gentlemen eat enough? Everyone else has left, why aren’t you leaving?”

Su Yuan and Coke were about to stand up when they heard this.

But Lu Jiamu reached out and pressed down on their shoulders, holding them down, then said with a smile,

“I’m not finished yet. You two can leave, but they can’t.”

At this moment, Su Yuan and the others all looked at Major General Su Ming, awaiting his instructions.

Major General Su Ming slowly picked up a piece of roasted beef and placed it in his bowl, calmly saying,

“Do you know who we are?”

“Oh, and who are you?”

Lu Jiamu asked with a sneer.

“We are from the Federation.”

Major General Su Ming replied expressionlessly.

Lu Jiamu’s expression froze when he heard Major General Su Ming’s words, and he withdrew his hand.

Batu and the others were also startled; these people were actually from the Federation, the leader of the four great ruffians.

At this moment, the subordinate behind Lu Jiamu said uneasily,

“Big Brother, they’re from the Federation.”

“Oh, so you’re from the Federation! A misunderstanding! You continue eating, I’ll find another place.”

Lu Jiamu’s expression shifted, then he showed a bright smile and said.

Major General Su Ming ignored Lu Jiamu.

Lu Jiamu turned to leave with his subordinates.

Just then, Major General Su Ming unexpectedly stuck out his foot and tripped Lu Jiamu, who fell directly.

“Big Brother!”

“Bastard, you dare to trip our Big Brother!”

Lu Jiamu’s subordinates immediately became enraged and picked up chairs.

Sophie Lin and the others were also dumbfounded; these Federation people were so awesome, they dared to trip someone from the Dark Star Empire. Was this going to be a fight?

At this moment, Su Yuan and the others all stood up, looking unfriendly.

“Stop!”

Lu Jiamu scrambled to his feet and yelled at his subordinates.

The many subordinates stopped angrily.

At this moment, Lu Jiamu suppressed his anger and looked at Major General Su Ming, asking,

“What do you want to do?”

“Nothing, but don’t you think you should pay for the damaged items and the skipped bill before you leave?”

Major General Su Ming looked up at Lu Jiamu, his eyes extremely cold, and said.

An Ruoxue’s face immediately broke into a bright smile when she heard Major General Su Ming’s words.

“Okay, I’ll pay!”

Lu Jiamu gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, turned, and walked towards Sophie Lin with his subordinates.

Major General Su Ming sat in his seat, watching Lu Jiamu and the others settle the bill and leave, then continued eating his grilled meat.

“Bah, a bunch of bullies who pick on the weak!”

Su Yuan said, gloating, as he watched them leave.

“Alright, don’t mind them.”

Major General Su Ming was too lazy to bother with these guys.

However, judging by their reaction, the Federation truly had influence here. If this were in the Donao Star Sea, the situation would probably be reversed.

At this moment, the proprietress Sophie Lin quickly came over and thanked Major General Su Ming and the others.

“Sirs, thank you so much for your help. This meal is on me today.”

“No need. You’re not making money at 50% off as it is, and now with those people causing trouble, your business is ruined. We’ll pay for our own table.”

Major General Su Ming replied firmly.

“Alright then, I’ll get you a few bottles of good wine, consider it a small token of my appreciation.”

Sophie Lin didn’t wait for Major General Su Ming and the others to refuse before she left and walked to the back.

At this moment, Batu also came over, holding his stomach, and thanked Major General Su Ming and the others.

“Brothers, thank you.”

“No need to thank me. I see all your brothers have left. Would you like to have a drink with us?”

Major General Su Ming warmly invited him.

Although this Batu’s strength was lacking, he had a lot of backbone, which was quite good.

“Okay, let me introduce myself, my name is Batu, I’m the captain of the garrison here, rank of Captain. I’d like to toast you all.”

At this moment, Batu poured a glass of wine, raised it, and introduced himself.

“En, Major General Su Ming, Federation.”

Major General Su Ming replied with a smile.

“Major General Su Yuan, Federation.”

Su Yuan and the others spoke up one after another.

Batu was stunned when he heard Major General Su Ming and the others’ words, and the wine glass in his hand slipped directly.

Major General Su Ming quickly caught the wine glass and handed it back to Batu, saying with a smile,

“Don’t be nervous.”

“I apologize, I didn’t realize you were all generals.”

Batu said fearfully.

“No need to be so formal. When we’re out having fun, there’s no need for so many rules.”

Major General Su Ming picked up his wine glass and said to Batu.

Su Yuan and the others also raised their wine glasses.

“I toast you all!”

Batu quickly downed the wine in his glass, poured another, and drank that one too, his heart finally calming down a bit, then he sat down at the table.

“By the way, Batu, are these Dark Star Empire people always so arrogant and overbearing?”

Major General Su Ming asked with interest.

“Pretty much. Shabask Kingdom is good in every way, the only bad thing is these garrison soldiers, they often cause trouble here. Cough cough, of course, I’m not talking about you Federation people.”

Batu quickly added.

In fact, many people from the Federation also acted arrogantly here. Of course, Batu’s emotional intelligence wasn’t so low as to expose this in front of them.

“It’s fine, you continue.”

Major General Su Ming picked up the wine bottle and poured Batu a glass.

Batu picked up the wine bottle, took a sip, and sighed, saying,

“Alas~ In the past, when Shatak was in power, these guys didn’t dare to be so arrogant. But as the State Lord’s health deteriorated and he hadn’t appeared for the last few decades, the behavior of the troops stationed here became increasingly worse. Especially the Dark Star Empire, they’re simply a bunch of barbarians.”

“Don’t sigh. Prince Ohmid is about to ascend the throne, perhaps the situation will improve.”

“Oh, forget it. I feel the future is bleak.”

“How so?”

“To be honest, I used to support Prince Merritt. After all, his reputation and ability were the best, even if it was the First Prince, that would have been fine. Now that the little-known Prince Ohmid is taking over, I really don’t see any hope.”

“Don’t worry, Seventh Prince Ohmid won’t be bad. His ascension will definitely lead this kingdom well.”

Major General Su Ming said with great confidence.

“Really?”

Batu also replied with a skeptical attitude.

“Absolutely true. If you don’t believe me, let’s wait and see.”

“Okay, I’ll take your auspicious words, I toast you!”

“Cheers!”

Major General Su Ming said with a smile as he picked up his wine glass.

Wormhole Spacetime · Federation Defense Line.

Inside the Black Snail Planet Fortress.

An old man with dark skin, short and thin body, white hair, and occasional coughs, carrying a repair box, walked into a dimly lit storage room.

At this moment, the logistics manager, dressed in a Captain’s military uniform, pot-bellied, and with a mole near his eye, had already been waiting there for a long time.

“Manager Mengqi, the matter has been handled. It can be activated at any time.”

The old man said with a complex expression.

Mengqi’s expression darkened when he heard the old man’s words, and he said,

“The plan has changed. It won’t be activated for now. Wait for notification!”

“Understood.”

The old man heard Mengqi’s words, immediately breathed a slight sigh of relief, and replied wearily.

—

Three days later.

Worlds Eye · Shabask Royal Palace Hall.

Under the dazzling crystal chandeliers, nobles and magnates from all sides, dressed in luxurious gowns and suits, were holding wine glasses and chatting with smiles.

The most conspicuous among them was Patriarch Gene Reese of Saint Jocks, surrounded by guests.

One might have thought he was the host.

However, from this, one could also see how good Saint Jocks’s popularity and social skills were.

At this moment, Akteon, Nirulei, and others from the Dark Star Empire, and Deshir, Lily, and others from the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom, gathered on the left side of the main hall, discussing the Haunted Star event in low voices.

“This Haunted Star event was truly a losing battle! I never thought we’d lose to a V Generation Mecha.”

“Yes! That V Generation Mecha was truly powerful.”

“I never thought the Federation would develop such a powerful weapon, even Lily couldn’t stop it.”

Just as everyone was discussing with lingering fear.

Deputy Commander Akteon snorted coldly, saying with a gloomy face,

“It’s just a V Generation Mecha. It was only the first time we saw it, and we were just awestruck. If Gabres hadn’t held me back, I would have gone up and taken him out already.”

“Akteon, you’re right!”

Nirulei and the others echoed.

They couldn’t keep boosting the Federation’s prestige and demoralizing themselves.

However, as soon as they said this, the people from the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom were a bit displeased.

The Dark Star Empire spoke so boastfully, saying they could easily take down that V Generation Mecha. Wasn’t this indirectly mocking Lily?

Lannite then said irritably,

“Aren’t you being too arrogant? If it were your commander, I would never doubt his ability to defeat that V Generation Mecha. But with your half-baked skills, how dare you say that?”

“You—”

Akteon looked angrily at Lannite.

At this moment, Archbishop Deshir said with a smile,

“Alright, both of you, say less. Don’t hurt the harmony among ourselves.”

“Hmph!”

Akteon snorted coldly.

“But speaking of which, what’s the background of the person piloting that V Generation Mecha? I heard he has quite a connection with your Dark Star Empire.”

Deshir asked with a smile.

“He has quite a connection. That guy is Major General Su Ming of the Federation’s Thirteenth Corps!”

Akteon’s eyes became extremely cold as he finished speaking.

To put it bluntly, this Major General Su Ming climbed up the ranks by stepping on the corpses of their Dark Star Empire generals.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came.

The once bustling hall suddenly quieted down, and everyone turned to look.

Only to see Vice City Lord Okens personally leading a team in.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Everyone’s gaze fell on Major General Su Ming, even Lily turned to look.

“Which one is Major General Su Ming?”

“The one in the middle of the team, slightly to the right.”

“He’s so young? He looks like he’s only in his twenties.”

“You’re right, he is young, and he’s still a student at the Royal Court Academy. But it’s precisely because he’s young that he’s terrifying. If he doesn’t die young, who knows what heights he’ll reach in the future.”

At this moment, Okins led the team to the right side of the main hall and stopped, saying to everyone with a beaming smile,

“We are here today to attend His Highness Ohmid’s succession ceremony. Everyone must maintain a good image, understand?”

“Understood!”

Major General Su Ming and the others replied in unison.

“Hmm!”

Okins nodded, allowing everyone to move around freely.

At this moment, Su Yuan saw many people looking their way, including many beautiful women, and excitedly said to Su Ming, “Su Ming, look, everyone is looking at me. I didn’t expect myself to be so famous.”

Su Ming smiled brightly when he heard Su Yuan’s words.

However, before Su Ming could speak, Coke and the others beside him began to retort.

“Su Yuan, stop being so narcissistic. They are all looking at Su Ming, okay?”

“That’s really hilarious.”

“Sigh, I thought they were all looking at me, but it turns out they’re all looking at Su Ming. As expected, I can’t compare!” Su Yuan said with a sigh.

“That’s not necessarily true. Maybe they really are looking at you. Your reputation is much bigger than mine now. We’re not in the same league.” Su Ming suddenly said with a smile.

“Alright, don’t try to comfort me.” Su Yuan waved his hand and replied.

“I’m not kidding you.” Su Ming said seriously.

“Really?” Su Yuan was also startled and asked in disbelief.

Zhou Mu and the others also looked puzzled.

At this moment, Su Ming raised his wristband and tapped it, and a miniature holographic image was projected, clearly displaying a headline news.

“Federal Major General Su Yuan, in a fit of rage for a beauty, spent 20 billion federal currency at the Worlds Eye Light Shadow Convention Center for Miss Hillis!”

Su Yuan’s eyes widened when he saw the news.

“Su Yuan, let me tell you, my fame is only within this small circle. To put it bluntly, only the people in this hall might know a bit, and these matters involve the Shabask Royal Family, so no one will go around shouting about it! But you are different. You’re on the front page of the World Daily now, famous worldwide. I estimate it has already reached the Federation, and Grandfather and the others should have seen it. You’d better think about how to explain it to them.” Su Ming said with a chuckle.

“Brother, save me!”

“I can’t help you. Oh, and there’s one more thing I forgot to tell you. This matter of yours also has a bad impact in the military. It’s possible that the higher-ups will have a talk with you, but fortunately, you participated in the Haunted Star event, otherwise, your graduation from advanced studies would have been tough.”

“No way, why am I so unlucky?” Su Yuan said, on the verge of tears.

“One last reminder, remember to pay me back that 10 billion.” Su Ming didn’t forget to twist the knife at the end.

“Ugh!” Su Yuan clutched his heart, feeling his life was plunged into darkness.

At this moment, Little Gray crawled out of Su Ming’s pocket, its big, sparkling eyes looking at the various fruits and pastries displayed on the surrounding tables, excitedly squeaking.

“Good, be quiet.” Su Ming reached out and stroked Little Gray.

Little Gray, however, kept tugging at Su Ming’s clothes.

Su Ming followed its gaze and saw plates of tempting purple grapes on a nearby table.

“There’s really nothing I can do with you.” Su Ming chuckled resignedly and walked over with Little Gray.

Seeing this, Su Yuan also followed.

Su Ming picked up a bunch of grapes and plucked them one by one to feed Little Gray.

“Su Ming, help me think of a solution. You can’t just stand by and watch me die.” Su Yuan said anxiously.

“What are you panicking about? I told you from the beginning that I would support you in whatever you do, but you have to consider the consequences and not regret it! Also, you don’t need to worry. After all, you are the great-grandson. Grandfather won’t actually kill you, at most he’ll just skin you alive!” Su Ming said to him with a smile.

Su Yuan’s face crumpled when he heard this.

At this moment, he suddenly saw Lily walking towards Su Ming and quickly whispered a warning.

“Su Ming, that girl from the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom is coming over. It looks like she’s coming for you.”

“I saw her.” Su Ming was also a bit surprised.

“You need to be careful. Those fanatics from Apocalypse are definitely going to use a honey trap on you. You absolutely cannot fall for it. A single misstep can lead to eternal regret!” Su Yuan quickly warned Su Ming.

Su Ming looked at Su Yuan as if he were an idiot. What was this guy thinking?

Lily was the Vice Commander of the Saint Eleanor Knights of the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom, with a status similar to General Sigrid. Who could make her use a honey trap?

At her position, even the highest authority could not force her.

“Did I say something wrong?” Su Yuan asked in confusion.

“No, you’re truly brilliant.” Su Ming replied with a smile.

At this moment, Lily walked up to Su Ming and Su Yuan, and asked Su Ming coolly.

“Hello, are you Mr. Su Ming, who piloted that V Generation Mecha?”

“Yes, I am.” Su Ming replied calmly.

“I am Lily, Vice Commander of the Saint Eleanor Knights of the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom. May I speak with you alone?” Lily asked directly.

“Okay!” Su Ming agreed without a moment’s hesitation. He also wanted to talk to Lily to clear up some doubts in his mind.

Immediately after, both of them looked at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan’s face darkened, and then he wisely said, “Alright, I’ll go.”

He turned and left dejectedly.

Su Ming smiled and picked up grapes to feed Little Gray.

Lily glanced at Little Gray and praised, “Mr. Su Ming, your pet is very cute.”

“Thank you for the compliment. May I ask what Miss Lily wants to talk to me about? Please speak directly.” Su Ming replied politely.

“I would like to ask you something.”

“What is it?”

“From whom did you learn your gun skills?” Lily asked seriously, her gaze flickering as she stared at Su Ming.

“Coincidentally, I also want to ask you a question. From whom did you learn your gun skills?” Su Ming threw the question back at Lily directly.

Lily replied without a moment’s hesitation, “My gun skills were passed down by the Saint Eleanor after I joined the Saint Eleanor Knights!”

When Su Ming heard Lily’s words, his heart stirred, and he immediately asked, “May I ask who the founder of the Saint Eleanor is?”

“Lord Famoun.” Lily replied very straightforwardly.

Although this information was obscure, it wasn’t too big a secret; one could still find it if they investigated.

Therefore, Lily did not hide it from Su Ming.

Su Ming frowned upon hearing the name, muttering to himself, “That shouldn’t be!”

He didn’t recognize this name.

At this moment, Lily stared at Su Ming and asked, “Mr. Su Ming, can you answer my question now?”

“I taught myself my gun skills. I didn’t expect them to be so similar to your Saint Eleanor’s gun skills, which is truly surprising. I wonder what kind of existence your Saint Eleanor truly is.” Su Ming replied frankly.

After hearing Su Ming’s words, Lily’s cool expression shifted slightly, and then she asked, “Mr. Su Ming, you seem very interested in our Saint Eleanor.”

“Yes, I am!”

“Then, if there’s an opportunity, you are welcome to come to the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom, and I would be willing to personally receive you.”

“Okay, I’ll definitely go if I get the chance.” Su Ming replied with a smile.

Of course, saying is one thing, but Su Ming would never actually go. It would be funny if he got detained in the Apocalypse Divine Kingdom.

“Alright, then I’ll take my leave.” Lily bid farewell coolly.

“Okay.” Su Ming nodded.

Lily then turned and walked towards her companions.

Seeing Lily leave, Su Yuan walked over and asked, “What did that girl want with you?”

“Why ask so many questions?” Su Ming said thoughtfully, gazing at Lily’s retreating figure.

Just as Su Yuan was about to speak, the bell outside the hall suddenly rang.

Dong ~

The entire hall immediately fell silent.

Honor guards dressed in magnificent attire walked in, stopping below the throne and lining up in two rows.

Su Ming and the other guests, as witnesses, all retreated to the side.

Golden mechanical spheres flew to the dome of the hall, beginning the live broadcast.

At this moment, Chief Minister Barnett, dressed in ministerial attire, walked through the hall doors and shouted loudly, “Please welcome the Shatak, Crown Prince Ohmid, and all members of the Royal Family!”

Su Ming and the others all turned their gaze to the hall entrance.

The Shatak, dressed in a starry robe and wearing a luxurious crown, walked in with a weary spirit and faltering steps.

Ohmid, wearing a magnificent dark red national robe, followed solemnly, supporting the Shatak.

Shadr, who followed behind, was dressed in a solemn and luxurious white gown, with numerous jeweled rings on his hands and a dazzling stardust necklace around his neck, looking very conspicuous.

In addition, there were some other royal family members at the back of the procession, but these royal family members looked very young, none older than fourteen. And their number was very small, completely unlike the lively atmosphere before the Haunted Star event.

At this moment, Su Yuan lowered his voice and said, “Su Ming, did you see that? The old State Lord can barely walk. How long has it been?”

“He’s probably not doing well. Didn’t you notice that today’s succession ceremony is a bit simplified?” Su Ming replied in a low voice.

“That’s true. So, he was just holding on before.” Su Yuan said admiringly.

“Definitely. If it weren’t for this moment, he might have left long ago.” Su Ming said with some emotion.

He could see that the Shatak’s body had reached its limit, and he was now completely relying on his will to support himself.

However, he was truly formidable, managing to clear all obstacles for the Seventh Prince before his own death.

Soon, Ohmid helped the Shatak to the throne.

Both of them turned around simultaneously, facing the guests present and the countless citizens watching the live broadcast.

The Shatak took a deep breath and said tremblingly, “As the State Lord of Shabask, I officially announce the commencement of the coronation ceremony.”

Instantly, solemn and majestic music resounded throughout the hall.

At this moment, Chief Minister Barnett walked up, carrying a tray on which rested an exquisite coronation robe.

The entire robe was hand-stitched with threads made of Eternal Metal and adorned with colorful, dazzling star-stones.

The Shatak reached out and personally draped it over Ohmid.

Ohmid, with red-rimmed eyes, bowed deeply to his father.

The Shatak extended his hands to help Ohmid up, and personally led him to sit on the throne amidst the gaze of all.

At this moment, Chief Minister Barnett walked up, holding an ancient golden scepter in both hands.

The Shatak took the scepter and handed it over to Ohmid with both hands.

Ohmid took the scepter with a heavy expression.

Immediately after, the Shatak slowly extended his trembling hands again, removed his crown, and placed it on Ohmid’s head.

He had finally completed his mission, entrusting this country to the new successor.

At this moment, Chief Minister Barnett announced loudly, “Ceremony complete! His Majesty Ohmid of the Shabask Kingdom officially ascends the throne!”

Clap! Clap!

The hall immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Immediately outside, countless fireworks soared into the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless fireworks bloomed, resounding throughout the Worlds Eye.

After Chief Minister Barnett made the announcement, he stepped forward to support the Shatak and exited the hall first from the side.

At this moment, Omi Germany slowly rose from the throne.

Swish! Swish!

Everyone’s gaze and all cameras were directed at him.

Archbishop Deshir and the others were extremely nervous at this moment. The ascension of a new king often brought about significant changes.

It was possible that everything would be reshuffled, and their interests would be severely impacted.

Especially since they had backed the wrong person and even hunted Ohmid in the Wormhole Spacetime.

However, where there was worry, there was naturally joy. As Ohmid’s biggest supporter, Vice City Lord Okens had not stopped smiling since the ceremony began.

At this moment, Ohmid announced solemnly, “My dear citizens, I, Ohmid, hereby swear to inherit my father’s will, upholding justice and benevolence, to rule this kingdom.”

“Finally, I implore all my subjects to join hands with me to forge a future filled with hope, peace, and prosperity!”

Clap! Clap!

Su Ming and the others applauded enthusiastically again after hearing Ohmid’s declaration.

“Everyone, please quiet down.” At this moment, Ohmid raised his hand, signaling everyone to be silent.

Soon, the hall quieted down again, and Ohmid spoke steadily, “I officially announce the Shabask Kingdom’s newest policy.”

As soon as these words came out, the people of the Dark Star Empire and Apocalypse Divine Kingdom immediately felt their hearts rise to their throats.

Major General Su Ming was also very curious about what policies Ohmid would announce.

“The first policy: the Shabask Kingdom will continue the Light Shadow Agreement, and all agreement contents will remain unchanged!”

“Phew~”

Deshir and the others breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ohmid’s words.

Fortunately, the new king still recognized and did not overturn the agreement set by the old king, thus ensuring their interests were still protected.

Su Yuan heard this and whispered in a low voice.

“What the hell? People are chasing him down in Wormhole Spacetime, and the agreement remains unchanged?”

“What do you know? Those in power cannot act entirely according to their own preferences. This way of handling things is precisely the most stable and rational. Acting on impulse for a moment will only bring disaster to the entire country.”

Major General Su Ming also greatly admired Ohmid’s decision.

He did not impulsively lean entirely towards the Federation, but continued to win over the other three forces, maintaining a balance.

At this moment, Ohmid continued to announce.

“In addition, I announce the gift of 10% trade tax and 10%Galactus revenue to the Federation, in gratitude for the Federation’s support to the Shabask Kingdom over the years.”

As soon as these words came out, Vice City Lord Okens’s face almost broke into a wide smile.

As for the Dark Star Empire and others, their faces were not very good, but no one was foolish enough to stand up and object.

“Finally, thank all the guests present. Today’s succession ceremony concludes here. Please enjoy the food!”

Ohmid officially announced the end of the ceremony.

All live broadcast equipment immediately cut off the picture.

At this time, Archbishop Deshir, Vice City Lord Okens, and others stepped forward one after another, warmly congratulating Ohmid.

Instantly, nearly half of the people in the hall surrounded him.

Everyone wanted to curry favor with Ohmid and get closer to him.

“Tsk tsk, how ironic! Before Ohmid ascended, no one had supported him for hundreds of years, but now they are all like fawning dogs.”

Su Yuan said with great emotion.

“Normal, otherwise, why have so many people in history gone all out for that position?”

Major General Su Ming replied with a smile.

“Tch, what’s so good about that position?”

Su Yuan replied indifferently.

Just then, Shadr walked over with a grin, shouting excitedly.

“Major General Su Ming, Su Yuan!”

“Oh, you’re dressed quite nicely today.”

Su Yuan teased Shadr.

“No choice, my father insisted I dress formally.”

Shadr replied helplessly.

“Your father has ascended. How do you feel now? Do you feel great?”

Su Yuan poked Shadr with his arm.

Shadr chuckled and said,

“Of course, it feels great! I’m telling you! My father is now the King, and I am his only son, so I am the Crown Prince, the future King. I’ve also risen in status! But it doesn’t matter, good brothers are loyal. I will definitely bring you along to enjoy good food and drinks. As long as I have a sip of soup, you will have a bite of meat!”

“Good.”

Major General Su Ming also couldn’t help but smile upon hearing Shadr’s words.

Although this guy wasn’t very bright, he was loyal.

At this moment, Su Yuan said with a mischievous smile.

“Shadr, don’t be happy too soon, I’m telling you! Your position as Crown Prince might not be stable. If you don’t work hard and improve, be careful, your father might have a few more brothers for you. Then it will be hard to say who will ascend.”

“No way, is that even possible?”

Shadr was stunned upon hearing Su Yuan’s words.

Major General Su Ming unhappily kicked Su Yuan and said to Shadr,

“Don’t listen to his nonsense. Just maintain a normal mindset and strive to improve yourself. Don’t worry about anything else.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Shadr breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Major General Su Ming’s words.

“Hehe, I was just joking.”

Su Yuan chuckled awkwardly.

“It’s fine. By the way, Major General Su Ming, my father asked me to take you to the study. He has something to discuss with you after he finishes his work.”

Shadr said to Major General Su Ming.

“He didn’t call me?”

Su Yuan asked with anticipation.

“No, I’ll take Major General Su Ming first.”

Shadr shook his head and replied.

“Alright, you two go.”

Su Yuan replied with a sigh.

Major General Su Ming then followed Shadr out of the main hall through a side door, and the two walked along the long corridor.

At this moment, Shadr also said to Major General Su Ming with some resentment,

“Sigh, actually, I really don’t understand why my father still wants to befriend those people from the Dark Star Empire and Apocalypse Divine Kingdom. If I were in power, I would definitely kick them all out and give all the benefits to the Federation.”

“I know you dislike them very much, but things are not done that way. You should learn more from your father, and you will understand later.”

Major General Su Ming didn’t explain too much to Shadr.

“Alright!”

Shadr replied helplessly.

At this moment, patrolling soldiers walked over, and upon seeing Shadr, they all respectfully bowed and greeted him.

“Your Highness Shadr!”

“Mm!”

Shadr also casually waved his hand.

At this point, Major General Su Ming could clearly see from the soldiers’ attitude that Shadr’s status had indeed risen significantly.

A moment later.

Shadr led Major General Su Ming to an ancient study.

The study was very large, with wooden bookshelves lining the walls, filled with various precious rare books, and a desk placed in the innermost part.

Shadr moved a chair and placed it in front of the desk, saying to Major General Su Ming,

“Major General Su Ming, please sit here and wait a moment. My father will be here after he finishes his work.”

“Okay!”

Major General Su Ming then sat on the chair.

“Then I’ll leave first. I still need to help entertain some guests.”

Shadr said to Major General Su Ming.

“Go ahead.”

Major General Su Ming nodded slightly.

Shadr then left the study, closing the door behind him.

Major General Su Ming sat quietly on the chair, waiting patiently.

After about forty minutes, the closed door suddenly opened.

Major General Su Ming heard the movement, turned his head, and saw Ohmid walking in with a smile on his face.

“Your Majesty Ohmid.”

Major General Su Ming respectfully asked.

“Mr. Su Ming, I’ve kept you waiting. I’m really too busy and couldn’t get away for a while.”

Ohmid said apologetically.

“It’s alright, I understand. May I ask, Lord Ohmid, what do you need me for?”

Major General Su Ming directly asked Ohmid.

Major General Su Ming would not naively think that Ohmid called him over for small talk, knowing that today was his first day of ascension, and he had a lot of things to do.

“It’s nothing much, I just wanted to ask, Mr. Su Ming, about the matter I mentioned to you in the infirmary earlier. What have you decided?”

Ohmid asked with great anticipation.

“I’m sorry, I still feel that the Federation is more suitable for me.”

Major General Su Ming paused slightly, then replied apologetically.

“It doesn’t matter, I still stand by what I said: the door of the Shabask Kingdom will always be open to you!”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“Let’s not talk about that for now. Here, take this.”

Ohmid walked to the desk, opened a drawer, took out a delivery note, and handed it to Major General Su Ming.

Major General Su Ming took the delivery note and glanced at it, instantly slightly startled.

“This is the individual prize for winning the Haunted Star competition: a set of Pseudo V-generation Mecha materials. Logically, I should hand it over to the Federation, but I think it’s more suitable to give it to you. Because no one is more qualified than you to receive this honor.”

Ohmid said to Major General Su Ming with a smile.

Major General Su Ming also admired Ohmid’s words in his heart.

This Ohmid really knows how to handle things. If this prize were given to the Federation, it would most likely be confiscated according to the Federation’s rules. Now, he directly rewards this material to himself, and even if the Federation finds out later, they wouldn’t be embarrassed to reclaim it.

Moreover, by giving the item to him, it is also indirectly giving it to the Federation, meaning he has also faithfully fulfilled the agreement.

“Thank you, Your Majesty Ohmid.”

Major General Su Ming didn’t stand on ceremony with Ohmid. With his Mecha destroyed, he was indeed in urgent need of this material.

“Don’t thank me so quickly, I have one more thing for you.”

Ohmid then took out an envelope and handed it to Major General Su Ming.

“This is?”

Major General Su Ming asked in confusion.

“You can open it and see. It’s just a small gift.”

Ohmid said with a smile.

Major General Su Ming then tore open the envelope, pulled out a document from inside, and after a careful look, spoke in surprise.

“Worm Star Joint Development Share Letter.”

“That’s right, I’ve already returned that Worm Star to the Federation as agreed. However, the Federation doesn’t have any Haunted Star, so they can’t maximize its mining! Therefore, Vice City Lord Okens, representing the Federation, reached an agreement with my country to conduct joint development!”

“I see.”

“Mr. Su Ming, do you know what percentage of shares our country normally takes when deploying Haunted Star?”

“I don’t know.”

“50%!”

“That much?”

“That’s right, but this time, in consideration of the Federation’s help in my ascension, I made a concession and only asked for a 40% share! Now, I am transferring 10% of those shares to you. You don’t need to worry about anything. After the mining is complete, the profits will be paid to you in a lump sum. At that time, you can choose money or materials.”

Omi Germany said with a smile.

After hearing Ohmid’s words, Major General Su Ming couldn’t help but take a deep breath. 10% of the Worm Star’s revenue would absolutely be an astronomical figure.

It’s important to know that although the Federation takes 60%, they don’t get it for free; they have to dispatch a large number of troops to encircle and suppress the Worm Star. As for the cost of the Shabask Kingdom deploying Haunted Star, it is also very high.

However, his ten percent share of the revenue was pure profit.

Major General Su Ming’s expression changed for a moment, then he said to Ohmid,

“Your Majesty, this gift is too valuable, I cannot accept it.”

“Valuable? I don’t think it’s valuable. Is this gift more valuable than the lives of our father and son?”

Ohmid replied with a smile.

“This…”

Major General Su Ming was at a loss for words for a moment.

“Mr. Su Ming, please accept it with peace of mind. This really isn’t much.”

Ohmid tried his best to persuade him.

“Alright, then I’ll accept it.”

Seeing Ohmid say this much, Major General Su Ming found it difficult to continue refusing.

Ohmid’s face broke into a brilliant smile when he saw Major General Su Ming accept, and then he said to Major General Su Ming,

“Mr. Su Ming, you and Shadr are very good brothers. I hope you can help take care of him more in the future.”

Major General Su Ming also felt a little emotional upon hearing Ohmid’s words. It truly was a parent’s love for their child. Ohmid had just ascended and was already paving the way for his son.

However, Major General Su Ming still liked Shadr very much, so he readily agreed.

“Don’t worry, no problem!”

“That’s great. If you need anything in the future, just find him. If he doesn’t handle it well for you, I will definitely not spare him.”

Ohmid said very happily when Major General Su Ming agreed.

“Okay!”

Major General Su Ming replied with a smile.

“It’s getting late, and I still have many guests to entertain, so I won’t chat with you any longer.”

Ohmid looked at the time on his wristband and said apologetically.

“Alright, then I’ll take my leave.”

“Walk slowly!”

“Mm.”

Major General Su Ming then took his things and left the study.
