Jiang Si, a powerful big shot from the apocalypse, perishes with the Zombie Emperor and transmigrates to Abel Interstellar.
The population of the Abel star system has been continuously declin...
Dressed in magnificent robes, Leilos stood close to him, gazing at him with deep, dark eyes that flickered with a surging light: "Colonel Bo Jichen, you are a dragon soaring above the heavens, possessing unparalleled strength in both mental and physical power, surpassing all beasts. Is it worth it to share your life for a human like me?"
Bo Jichen met his gaze, his purple eyes resolute, his burning, unrestrained love pouring out without reservation: "It's worth it. From beginning to end, you are my only choice. I will live for you, I will die for you, I will never change my mind until death, and I will never regret it."
Leilos felt a mix of emotions, and even slightly doubted himself, wondering what he had done to deserve the dragon that descended from the heavens to the mortal realm to protect him.
He didn't know what to say, so he just pursed his lips and stared intently at Bo Jichen.
Bo Jichen knew how to break the heavy atmosphere and lighten the mood like a dog. It looked at Lei Luosi and said in a sweet voice, "Darling, are you touched? If you are touched, hurry up and come and kiss me, hug me, and cuddle with me."
Relos: "..."
It really only lasts for one second; everything else is serious!
Bo Jichen urged impatiently, "Why are you looking at me? Don't look at me, just give me some kisses, hugs, and lift me up high."
Leilos was amused by him and suddenly laughed. He moved the hand that was holding its clothes upward, lifted its chin, and gave Bo Jichen, who was standing with his legs bent in front of the table, a light kiss on the lips. Bo Jichen's ears turned red, and he broke free and quickly retreated.
Leilos's initiative always left Bo Jichen, the old blue dragon, dumbfounded, momentarily blank, forgetting to retaliate, forgetting to push his luck.
By the time it regained its senses, Leilos had already moved far away from it, reaching a safe place, and was watching it from a distance.
Bo Jichen wanted another kiss, like a little rascal: "Ah, darling, my sense of touch seems to have malfunctioned, I felt someone kiss me."
"I haven't even had a chance to process what happened before he ran away. Do you want to kiss me again so I can relive the experience?"
With his red ear tips, Leilos teased him with a smile, "The person who kissed you ran away, aren't you going to chase after them? What are you doing here?"
Bo Jichen waved his hand dismissively, displaying boundless magnanimity, completely unconcerned about the scales sprouting from his neck: "The person who kissed me ran away, so be it. I don't want them anymore, I want you..."
Leilos smiled and uttered two words: "Ugly rejection..."
Bo Jichen heard a loud crash, and his heart shattered into pieces.
Its family says it's ugly, and it can't live like this anymore.
Seeing that it was not moving and looked seriously injured, Leilos called out to it, "What are you standing there for? Help me untie the straps at the back of my clothes."
Bo Jichen instantly became energetic and came over to help him untie the sash at the back of his clothes. The dangling gemstone chain, the elaborate and luxurious clothes, were thick and heavy, and inlaid with too many gemstones.
Relos officially inherited the throne, becoming the youngest monarch in all the countries of the Abel system. Other monarchs or kings ascended the throne at the age of forty or fifty, or even sixty or seventy.
At the age of 22, he inherited the throne after graduating from school, controlling 15 star regions, more than 2 billion people, and countless planets.
He is young, inexperienced, handsome, steady, with gentle eyes, 1.86 meters tall, noble and composed, wealthy and powerful yet down-to-earth, making him the ideal choice for many unmarried girls and older workers.
He also gained many fans who are mothers, girlfriends, wives, and grandmothers. Who wouldn't like a handsome, capable, tall, and gentle man? They all love him to death and wish they could take him home with them.
Spring Breeze Star Network has now become the number one discussion network in the Troia Empire, and its app has the highest number of downloads in the Abel Galaxy.
Not only the citizens of the Troia Empire downloaded it, but people from other countries also downloaded it, and would often bypass the Great Firewall to admire the face of the youngest monarch of the Troia Empire.
Leilos's fans wait for him to post on Weibo every day, and many of them are even clamoring, "Go live! Go live! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, go live! Let us see your work environment and experience the imperial office experience with you."
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, it has been a month since you officially ascended the throne. It's time to start a live broadcast."
"Honey, honey, didn't you say you'd tell us everything we want? Right now, all we want is for you to do a live stream, honey."
Every day, countless people on Lei Luosi's account ask him to start a live stream. He didn't start a live stream, but he made a detailed breakdown of the more than 100 billion in tips he received during his 8-hour coronation live stream, and published it in an article.
As the saying goes, sincerity is the ultimate weapon. The detailed breakdown of the tips he received included the nicknames of every tipper. A document of more than 10 gigabytes was uploaded to his account.
Anyone who has tipped can find the amount they tipped and their nickname by opening this multi-gigabyte document.
As for where the money went, 50 billion went to the military, 20 billion was used for scientific research and military expenses, and 20 billion was distributed as bonuses to everyone in the Troya military.
Of the remaining 50 billion, 20 billion was directly distributed to ordinary people without superpowers. There are too many ordinary people without superpowers, and 20 billion is a drop in the bucket. However, distributing it in cash provided some relief and was met with cheers and joy from many ordinary people.
The 10 billion yuan established the Ordinary People Medical Alliance. Ordinary people face difficulties in accessing medical care, as most treatment centers only accept people with superpowers. Without superpowers, ordinary people cannot enjoy even the most basic medical care.
Establish a medical alliance for ordinary people, dedicated to providing treatment for ordinary people. Although 10 billion yuan is not enough to establish a large-scale central hospital, it can establish many small clinics, giving ordinary people choices and places to go.
A royal scholarship fund of 10 billion was established. Any orphan without parents who is motivated and willing to learn can apply. Staff of the royal scholarship fund will visit the applicant's home to confirm their eligibility and distribute the funds to ensure that every penny reaches the applicant.
The final 10 billion yuan was given to the Population Reproduction Assistance Center, allowing the center to have more money to unravel the mystery of infertility and to reduce some of the fees for raising children, thus increasing the population.
More than 100 billion yuan was earmarked for specific purposes. Every penny spent was tracked and monitored. Anyone found to be in violation of the law, outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, or corrupt was stripped of their political rights for life and exiled to a garbage planet, never to return until their death.
The coronation ceremony of Relos was broadcast live for 8 hours. Those who tipped him knew that he could get a share of the money, so they were willing to tip him and give him money.
Unexpectedly, he kept every penny of the money he received, meticulously recording everything for public scrutiny and inspection. This demonstrated his sincerity, making those who gave tips feel respected and those who didn't see his earnestness.
His account's comment section exploded once again, with countless fans leaving comments like, "Ahhh, everyone come quick, come quick, this is my husband, using my tip money to help the common people."
“My husband is making me want to cry. How can someone be so honest? He went out into the public eye, did a live stream for eight hours straight without even breaking a sweat, and earned over 100 billion yuan without spending a single penny. He gave it all away to others. How could he be so stupid?”
"Don't call my husband stupid, he's the smartest and most handsome man in the world. If you call him stupid, I'll get angry!"
“I participated in a business deal worth over 100 billion. I’m proud and happy. Look at the huge document; I’m on page 138.”
"I regret it, I regret it! The donations are ranked from highest to lowest. If I had known that I was rich enough to donate more, my name would be on the first page of donations, number one!"
"Who says it isn't? Look, look! Page 1 of the donations, the nicknames of the donors, my goodness! Spring Breeze Star Network donated star coins, Quick Mech donated, Drunken Demeanor donated, and so on and so forth."
"Look, look! These scheming merchants have used a million or two in tips to create a massive advertisement with huge traffic, and His Majesty himself is the spokesperson. How enviable and hateful!"
The names of the top 100 donors are written larger than others on the document. What do you call that? This is the biggest endorsement and the biggest traffic in history.
Businesses and brands that didn't tip are kicking themselves and green with envy. Who the hell could have imagined that tipping could trend on social media, that His Majesty would have a list compiled, personally express gratitude, and post an article about it?
His expression of gratitude was posted online, and countless official accounts reposted it. It immediately went viral and became a trending topic. Not to mention the top 10 companies that tipped him, even those whose nicknames were followed by company names became trending topics and were investigated and ordered by fans.
The companies and studios that had given tips were hit hard by the sudden surge in traffic, and they were all kicking themselves. They regretted not giving more tips when such a huge business opportunity was presented. If they had just given a little more, they could have secured first place. The traffic was just too massive.
Hiring a top-tier celebrity for an endorsement would cost tens or hundreds of millions of yuan. Your Majesty is no bigger or more influential than a top-tier celebrity in terms of sales or promotion.
They only tipped one or two million, but they gained traffic that hundreds of millions couldn't buy. They all felt guilty and annoyed. Why didn't they tip His Majesty more? Why didn't they let His Majesty earn 200 billion?
These businesses and merchants were all determined from the bottom of their hearts that no matter what their emperor did in the future, they would be the first to support him and the first to rush to the scene.
Online buzz continues to soar, and public favorability towards the royal family is rising sharply. People like this young, new emperor and feel that he is different and special.
Bo Jichen, who was on holiday and resting in the palace, was like an old peacock spreading its tail feathers, shaking a bunch of big feathers, and sitting on Lei Luosi's desk with his legs spread wide. He was extremely proud and confident. He asked Lei Luosi, "Honey, honey, honey, how was it? I told you that sincerity is the ultimate weapon. If you want to gain the support of the people, you must sincerely give the public the right to know."
Relos sat in his chair, looking at the person sitting at his desk: "The public has the right to know, and Agares is one of them. If he knew that he was carried to the corner of the bed every night when he fell asleep, he definitely wouldn't be so close to you anymore."
Bo Jichen's arrogant smile froze slightly, but only for a moment. Then, with his thick skin, he said confidently, "It doesn't matter if my little darling Agares isn't my number one friend. As long as my big darling Leilos is my number one friend, that's fine. I'm not that picky."
Leilos gave a serious "hmm": "You're not even a human being, how can you be picky?"
Bo Jichen: "???"
Why does this sound like an insult?
It's not human, so what if it's not human?
It's not human; it's proud, it's happy, it's confident.
Bo Jichen, the fierce dragon, said coquettishly, "Darling, you can't be so racist."
Leilos stood up and patted its forehead: "I'm not being racist, I'm just stating the facts. Marshal Xiao Yuan praised you to me."
To make it easier for him to slap his forehead, Bo Jichen raised his head even higher: "Then I'll go thank him later?"
“No need for that.” After patting its head, Leilos was afraid of hurting it, so he gently stroked it with his hand. “He was just doing it as a formality. He praised not only you, but also his favorite student. That means that after he retires, he will recommend his favorite student to be the marshal.”
Bo Jichen narrowed his eyes comfortably and asked, "How much longer until he retires?"
Leilos paused for a moment and said, "If he doesn't make any mistakes, he can retire in another 10 years. If he makes a mistake, he can retire at any time."
Bo Jichen sighed, "He's quite clean. I've checked his records. His only blemish is probably that he's his star pupil."
"His prized student is now a general. He didn't kill him himself, but his family has enough to exile him or kill him. But now is not the time to kill him."
Ten years is enough time to become a marshal. The question is how to accumulate military merits. So you have to take on missions and do things to get promoted faster and become a marshal.
Relos withdrew his hand: "Yes, his favorite disciple cannot be moved yet. He wants to preserve his reputation and ensure the prosperity and wealth of his family when he gets old. If his favorite disciple is moved now, he will find another candidate."
The old marshal's favorite protégé cannot be touched. Once he does, he will find someone else who is excellent in all aspects and has not made any mistakes to support in taking over the position.
Once someone who is unlikely to make mistakes rises to power, it becomes extremely difficult to remove them from their position. If we don't touch their favorite protégé now, and let him think that he will eventually take over the marshal's position, he will make even more reckless mistakes.
All they had to do was wait until Bo Jichen was qualified to be marshal, then remove their prized student. The old marshal wouldn't have time to find someone else, and they would have no worries about the future.
The old marshal was neither particularly meritorious nor demeritful; it's just that as he got older, he became a bit too conciliatory and showed some perfunctoriness and disrespect towards the new emperor.
Bo Jichen cherishes this person dearly; how could he allow others to treat him perfunctorily or disrespect him? So… he'll tolerate him for a while, and deal with him later.
"Let's fight corruption." Bo Jichen grabbed Lei Luosi's hand as he tried to pull it back. His hand was large, with long, slender, and fair fingers, and his nails were neatly manicured and beautiful.
It grabbed his hand and brought it to its mouth, gently biting his fingers. With its eyelids lifted and head held high, it looked at Relos standing in front of him: "Darling, a new broom sweeps clean. The first fire is the coronation ceremony, and the second fire is the anti-corruption campaign."
Leilos's fingers were slightly itchy from its bite. It sat on the edge of the table, and he stood in front of it. When it looked at him, it had to look up at him, and when he looked at it, he had to look down at it.
The two people were about the same height when they stood up. When it sat down, it raised its head and looked at him, just like a giant dragon submitting to him, willing to lower its noble head for him at all times.
Relos looked at it: "You mean, there will be rewards for whistleblowers, an anti-corruption campaign will be launched throughout the empire, and the money obtained from the anti-corruption campaign will be taken from the people and used for the people?"
Bo Jichen bit his hand, but it didn't stop it from speaking or looking at him. Its eyes were filled with tender desire, and it opened its mouth in a serious tone: "Yes, with the force of thunder, we will launch a patrol of the nine star systems."
"Anti-corruption efforts encompass various industries, such as healthcare, education, commerce, and various government agencies, which are of paramount importance for thorough investigation."
"This year's recruitment for civil service and public institutions has abolished the recommendation and guarantee system and implemented the previous three-examination and three-review system. Whether you are an ordinary person or a person with special abilities, as long as you have the ability, you can apply."
“Send people from the Supreme Court down there, with the assistance of the Capital Star Police Department. If the evidence is conclusive, arrest them directly. While you’re at it, amend the law so that serious criminals will not be sentenced to death, but only exiled.”
"Exiled to a garbage planet, a mining planet, never to return."
Death from a fall is fleeting, instantaneous, and not so terrifying. What is terrifying is being unable to die, unable to live, experiencing a dramatic fall from heaven to earth, and being unable to live. It is this inability to die that causes a person to break down mentally, filled with regret, and serves as a stark warning.
Relos pondered his words and then said, "The Supreme Court currently only has two executive officers, and is short one more. These two executive officers..."
“It’s fine.” Bo Jichen gently interrupted him: “I’ve already investigated the two of them. Although they are a bit arrogant, they are quite clean. It’s just that the Supreme Court is not so clean inside. We can start a thorough cleaning from the inside.”
"You just mentioned that there are rewards for reporting. We can make good use of this, just like reporting spies. Once the report is verified, you get a reward of 500,000 star coins."
“We also have rewards for anonymous whistleblowers in our anti-corruption efforts, ranging from 5 million to 5 million yuan, depending on the severity of the crime and the amount of embezzlement. In this way, we can not only mobilize the public but also incite some people to fight amongst themselves, allowing us to reap the benefits.”
Leilos finally understood. The so-called "three fires upon the new emperor taking office" had already been arranged for him. All the evidence had been collected. He only needed to send people to carry it out to gain the best reputation and the most support.
It did not seek anything for itself; everything it thought about and planned was for him, so that he could sit more securely, more comfortably, and more freely on the throne.
Leilos withdrew his hand and asked, "Colonel Bo Jichen, you've thought of everything. How can I possibly thank you?"
Bo Jichen's purple eyes lit up: "Give me a kiss..."
Leilos leaned close to it and kissed its lips. Their warm breaths mingled, and its voice was hoarse: "Bo Jichen, the Great Dragon, is that all you ask for? Is there anything else?"
Bo Jichen's head was spinning from the temptation, feeling as if he had fallen into a beautiful, dreamlike world, where everything felt unreal: "Can I make any other requests? Can you sharpen my claws?"
Relos: "!!!!"
What are these requirements?
Logically, shouldn't it have taken advantage of the situation and rushed to put it on the shelves?
Let him sharpen its claws now?
"What do you need to sharpen your claws?" Relos asked.
Bo Jichen, this dragon with a severe case of love-struck brain: "Sharpening claws means maintaining claws, making them sharper so they can tear prey apart when fighting."
Leilos suddenly realized: "Oh, I see. Then wait for me for a few days, I'll go buy all the tools for sharpening claws and sharpen them for you."
Bo Jichen's eyes shone even brighter than when Agares, that little light bulb, came over: "Okay, okay, I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you."
For a dragon, having its claws sharpened by its future partner is the most romantic thing.
With its claws sharpened, it can protect him even more effectively.
Bo Jichen was happily thinking about it, completely unaware that it had missed the point of achieving perfect harmony in life, and even less aware that it could have made an even more outrageous demand just now.
When Leilos was working, it stayed by his side, with 10 screens projected onto it using a computer.
For the first time, Leilos witnessed what it meant to have hands that move like a blur, and what it meant to be an information master with cutting-edge technology.
They can look up any information, access any confidential or hidden databases, and crack any passwords as if it were child's play. Before the other side has even seen it clearly, the other side has already finished.
It doesn't just play by itself; when Agares comes over, it teaches the 4-year-old to play, even though the child can only express himself a little more clearly.
As if no one else was around, he muttered to 4-year-old Agares in Relos's office: "Baby, let me tell you, in the interstellar age, in the information world, whoever has first-hand information will become the boss, and will be invincible."
"My current dream is to be your brother's marshal, to guard the four directions for your brother, so that no one dares to bully him. Your dream is also to be your brother's marshal, to protect the country and safeguard your brother."
"So when it comes to information, you not only have to learn it, but you have to learn it well, and you have to surpass me."
After all that rambling, Agares caught a key point and asked, "Teacher, I want to be my brother's marshal, where are you going?"
Bo Jichen replied without hesitation, "Of course I have higher aspirations. You don't understand now, but I'll tell you later. You're learning this now..."
Agares responded with an "oh," and then, being very attentive and focused, she began to learn.
Leilos didn't know if he could learn it, but judging from his focused expression, he seemed very much capable of mastering it.
Afterwards, Relos gave the Supreme Court an order regarding the anti-corruption matter, instructing the Supreme Court to begin a thorough internal cleanup, and he provided a list and evidence.
His actions shocked and terrified the Supreme Court officials. The people on the list he provided were all extremely honest people, both in appearance and in their interactions; no one would ever suspect them of being criminals.
He has now provided not only a list, but also evidence. What does this mean? It means that although their emperor is young and inexperienced, he is far more capable and more decisive than they imagined.
This is a high-profile anti-corruption campaign. The Supreme People's Court cleared the snow in front of its own door, swept the garbage out of its own house, and posted an article online.
Relos reposted and commented: "The Troia Empire must become a prosperous and powerful nation. It cannot tolerate vile insects. If any citizen of the Troia Empire can provide evidence of where vile insects are, a reward of 5 to 5 million star coins will be given."
"The complaint box is a Supreme Court box, a royal complaint box, and it adopts a non-anonymous form. All whistleblowers who suffer harm as a result of their complaints will have all their property confiscated and be exiled to a mining planet once the harm is verified."
The Emperor's strong words, full support, and promises immediately sparked an anti-corruption campaign throughout the Troia Empire.
Because the complaint box is directly connected to the Supreme Court and the royal family, it gives hope to many who have been bullied and suppressed. They don't trust others; they trust His Majesty.
Those who embezzle and break the law begin to tremble with fear, trying every means to destroy evidence. They start to feign concern for those they have harmed, attempting to whitewash the situation and prevent them from reporting them.
The Elders' Council, the Council of Councilors, and the nobility had barely managed to clean up their mess before the anti-corruption campaign began, let alone launch a counterattack.
The families of all three groups are not exactly clean, and in order to ensure their families' continued prosperity and enjoy wealth and honor, they began to gather together and discuss their plans.
After much discussion, they came up with a plan to suppress ordinary people who lacked superpowers. They also figured that since space pirates were frequently appearing and attacking near the Troia Empire's star system, they should send someone to eliminate them. Who should they choose? They decided to start with someone close to their new emperor: Bo Jichen.
This is the youngest senior colonel in the history of the military, only 22 years old this year. The military achievements he has made in the past four years are all awe-inspiring, and each one is a truly remarkable feat achieved through near-death experiences.
Now it is the most capable individual combatant in the military. It does not have a dormitory provided by the military headquarters; it lives in the palace. His Majesty is making it clear to others that he is raising it as a confidant, hoping that it can make a difference in the military, be able to stand alone, and be his blade and his shield.
In order to make Leilos behave like his father, they decided to kill Bo Jichen.
After killing it, kill a few more of the people promoted by Relos and his legions. Then he will be isolated and helpless, and the only people he can rely on are these three forces.
As long as he relies on them, they can easily manipulate him. However, what these three groups don't know is that every word they say and every step they take is within Bo Jichen's surveillance range.
They were plotting how to kill it, and it heard and saw everything clearly. It felt that their ideas were like a pillow being delivered to a sleepy person.
It was currently worried about not having enough military merits, and these parties were joining forces to prepare to give it a big one. With the mentality that it would be a fool not to take advantage of a good deal, Bo Jichen felt that he had to take advantage of this opportunity.
Just as it was figuring out how to tell Leilos, the noble elders and the other two factions couldn't wait any longer and began to suppress ordinary people without superpowers from all sides.
Furthermore, they manipulated public opinion, telling the entire Troia Empire that ordinary people without superpowers and those with defective superpowers did not deserve to live in the country, and that the empire should not invest a large amount of manpower and resources to bail out these ordinary people without superpowers.
There are over 100 million ordinary people without superpowers, and as many as 300 million ordinary people with a little bit of superpower but not a high level of superpowers. There are also countless people with incomplete mental strength and unstable genes.
By doing this, they directly targeted ordinary people. Ordinary people's lives matter too, and they will resist, shout, and protest.
Superpowered individuals are inherently proud, and the stronger they are, the prouder they become. If they feel offended, they will also be unhappy. Neither of them will be happy, just like two forces starting to clash.
Not only is the planet we live on chaotic and polluted, but the internet is also a mess, it never ends. It's either here that a superhuman is beating up an ordinary person, or there that an ordinary person is ambushing a superhuman.
There are also cases where superhumans accidentally kill ordinary people, and ordinary people set fire to the superhumans' homes. As the saying goes, those with nothing to lose are not afraid of those wearing shoes. To ordinary people, they don't even consider them human. They might as well all die together and be wiped out together.
The three factions of nobles, hiding in the shadows, were delighted to see the fire burning so fiercely and His Majesty making no move. They thought His Majesty was afraid of them, that he was in a state of panic and confusion, and that he would soon be begging them for help.
Relos was neither flustered nor overwhelmed; he was simply raising money and rereading the law.
When the conflict between the two sides reached its peak, fighting and injuries became commonplace. The ten star system legions, together with the police departments of various planets, arrested all those who fought, regardless of whether they were superhumans or ordinary people, as long as they were involved in a fight, without asking any questions.
After being captured, whether they were superhumans or ordinary people, they were all sent to mining planets or desolate planets to work for three months.
The Legion and the police department cooperated so quickly that they arrested and sent the people away before issuing announcements on various planets, giving the Elders' Council no chance to retaliate.
The three groups of elders suffered another defeat. Unwilling to accept it, they decided to press Leros for money, using the pretext of "for the country" to demand funds for themselves.
Leilos didn't even see them. He had the Supreme Court and various official bodies issue orders to all the inhabited planets. There were no privileges for nobles, no privileges for elders or councils, and no privileges for those with superpowers. All that existed was equality before the law, and whoever broke the law would be punished by the law.
At the same time, increase the personnel allocation of police departments on various planets, increase military spending, and send all police officers to the ten legions in batches for training. The goal is to ensure that, regardless of whether they are dealing with superhumans or ordinary people, they have the ability to suppress those who break the law.
The three factions of the Elder Council were dumbfounded once again. They felt that something strange had happened. Ever since Leilos inherited the throne, they had never had anything go smoothly. They had clearly manipulated public opinion, but suddenly everyone turned against them.
The conflict between superpowered individuals and ordinary people has clearly been stirred up, and it looks like it's about to erupt into a full-blown rebellion. The superpowered individuals, who are supposed to be the saviors, have now fallen silent.
They asked His Majesty the Emperor for money, and asked the national treasury for money, saying it was for national construction, to build the Elders' Council and the Council of Representatives, but His Majesty simply refused to approve it.
The three groups couldn't sit still any longer and prepared to pay their respects to His Majesty the Emperor. To their utter surprise, before they could even submit their petitions, Relos arrived to see them.
He came with his entourage of guards, including Bo Jichen.
Bo Jichen was dressed in a red combat uniform, with a belt and military boots, and his hair was tied in a small bun. His whole demeanor was arrogant and unruly, the kind of person who would rather fight than talk.
Leilos sat in the main seat, while the other three groups sat in the seats below. The presence of dozens of people could not compare to the aura of the person sitting and standing in the main seat.
Leilos was dressed simply in a white shirt and trousers, his hands folded on the table. "I heard you all wanted to see me. I happened to have some free time today, so I came to see you all. May I ask what brings you here? Now you can speak freely."
The dozens of nobles from the council exchanged glances, their eyes filled with suspicion and questioning. Who had leaked the information that they wanted to see Relos?
After exchanging glances, dozens of people began to speak, their words high and mighty, their attitudes arrogant, completely disregarding the new emperor, Relos: "Your Majesty, we came to see you to remind you that from the moment you ascended the throne, you have disregarded the rules of our ancestors, which is highly contrary to etiquette."
"What you're doing will bring shame to the Troia Empire and make other monarchical countries think that our Troia Empire is petty and has no manners whatsoever."
"And Your Majesty, can ordinary people without superpowers even be called human? Do they deserve the same treatment as physically strong people with superpowers?"
"No, they are weak, sloppy, unplanned, and illiterate. They will only drag down the overall level of the Troia Empire."
“In the past, when ordinary people and people with superpowers clashed, you treated them all the same. This is unfair to people with superpowers. The empire has 2.6 billion people, and strong people with superpowers account for more than a billion of them. What if we push them too far and cause national turmoil?”
“Your Majesty, you are still young and there are many things you don’t understand. You’re doing things recklessly here without even asking us. The country is not just your country; it belongs to all of us.”
"Our council of elders, council of ministers, and nobles desire our nation to prosper more than anyone else. Your Majesty, you have become a wise and benevolent ruler."
"But what you're doing now is truly heartbreaking. You're not treating us like family at all. Thinking back to the old days, your ancestors treated us so well..."
“My ancestors treated you as mascots, as amusement when they had nothing to do.” Relos slowly picked up on their increasingly agitated words: “But you yourselves, because my ancestors were so accommodating and easy to talk to, have started to think of yourselves as masters more and more.”
"What's going on? I remember the Troia Empire was a one-man show of power. When did it become a four-way trial? Now I have to ask for your opinions on everything I do and every decision I make?"
"Nobles, come here! The top 20 nobles are all here. Tell me, what contributions have you made to this country? None, right? You only know how to monopolize certain industries to ensure your wealth and prosperity."
"And the elders of the council, I know you all live long lives. You should be enjoying your retirement at home instead of thinking you have any power and pointing fingers at me."
"And the Council of Representatives. In the past, the royal family only regarded you as a think tank, to discuss important matters with you and come up with the best solution."
"You guys are something else. Now you've positioned yourselves as someone with real power, looking down on me, showing your true colors and telling me that the country isn't just my country, it's also your country."
“Alright, my dear people, this is your country, and now there are constant conflicts between people with superpowers and ordinary people. In order to resolve the conflict, each of you should donate one hundred million to me.”
The noble elders of the council felt offended by Relos's merciless words. They slammed their fists on the table and stood up, calling him by his name: "Relos, even your father wouldn't dare speak to us like that. Who gave you the audacity?"
“Apologize to us, or you will regret what you did today…”
Bo Jichen, standing behind Lei Luosi, reached out and pulled his chair, dragging him and the chair behind him. Without moving forward, he stretched out his hands and overturned a round conference table that was more than ten meters long, smashing it against the wall and creating a large hole in it.
The dozens of people who stood up tensed up and involuntarily moved closer to each other. Relos's dog had actually overturned the table right in front of them.
Leilos tugged at Bo Jichen.
Bo Jichen stepped aside.
Relos projected his computer screen, and instantly a video conference appeared on the screen, where everyone present discussed how to make things difficult for Relos and how to embezzle the money from the coronation ceremony.
Everyone present changed their expressions upon seeing this. Before they could react, the video switched to showing everyone discussing how to deal with the conflict between superpowered individuals and ordinary people, and how to put pressure on Relos to ask him for money.
With visuals and sound, after Leilos finished playing, he slowly stood up and said, "Everyone, I tried to reason with you to have each of you donate 100 million. If you are unwilling, then each family will donate 1 billion."
"If each family doesn't give me 1 billion within three days, these adorable videos will be circulating in the public eye. Do you think the public will then clamor for the abolition of the Council of Elders and the House of Nobles?"
Dozens of people: "!!!!"
Yes, yes, the video contains their attempts to manipulate the emperor of the empire.
There were also stories about how they had made things difficult for the late emperor.
Once this video is released, the barrage of criticism will drown them.
Leilos took in their expressions, brushed off imaginary dust from his clothes, and said elegantly and politely, "Alright, I have other matters to attend to, so I won't keep you company any longer. Goodbye, everyone."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left. Bo Jichen saw him to the door and said to him, "Your Majesty, I left something in the conference room. Please wait for me, I'll go back and get it."
Relos nodded, "Alright, I'll wait for you..."
Bo Jichen dropped something in the conference room, but nothing at all.
It returned to the conference room, slammed the heavy door shut, and locked it behind its back.
Before the dozens of people who had just been terrified could react, Bo Jichen walked in.
His Majesty intimidated them; the nobles of the Council of Elders and the Council of Elders paid no attention to the dog kept by His Majesty's side.
Everyone present, whether sitting or standing, pointed at Bo Jichen and uttered angry threats and insults.
"What kind of unruly person are you? Your master has left, why aren't you leaving? Do you want to die?"
"Like master, like dog. No manners at all. They come and go as they please. What do they think this place is?"
"Get out of here now, or I'll shoot you!"
