Chapter 358

Federal Capital Star Elders Hall
A pair of slender hands pushed open the thick door of the Elders' Hall. Blood-stained boots stepped on the luxurious carpet. A man was wearing a black cloak. The wide brim of the cloak covered most of his face, leaving only his angular jaw exposed.
Having just experienced a heartbreaking change of dynasty, the elders from the few remaining families in the Senate Hall were like frightened birds facing the newly appointed head of state. The man's arrival actually slightly eased the extremely tense atmosphere in the hall.
The few remaining family elders looked at the man who pushed the door open alone with a bit of curiosity. As he lifted the brim of his hat, these old elders all sighed in their hearts. It was indeed the case that the new generation pushed the old generation out. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would have imagined that the two leaders who launched the coup were so young, the age of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and they would already have complete control of the federal government. When they thought about their own family, let alone their grandchildren, even their grandchildren's fathers were not qualified. Sigh...
Several elders carefully looked at the new leader from the Orc tribe sitting in the first seat, and then looked at the Jing family bloodline who came. They looked at each other and were as silent as cicadas.
Jing Li paid no attention to the stares from the people sitting in the hall. He was alone, and he pulled out a chair from the long table and sat down casually opposite Yin Jiuyuan. Then he looked at Yin Jiuyuan, a vague smile on his face, and said with a sly tone:
"Captain Yin, oh, no, I should call him President Yin now. The last remaining resistance has been dealt with. The entire federation is now completely under our control. Is it time to discuss the division of power?"
"Of course. I have no objection to the Jing family joining the Elders' Council. We will take a quarter of the wealth obtained after cleaning up those major families this time, and the rest will be yours."
As Yin Jiuyuan spoke, he had someone hand Jing Li several documents, including an order from the elders with the seal of the head of state, and the property division agreement of several liquidated families.
"Well, not bad, I'm very satisfied. But... Yin Jiuyuan, I'm very curious, who do you plan to make the new president? Otherwise, I don't want these properties and I'll give them all to you. How about you appoint me as president?" Jing Li spoke in a very casual tone, but his eyes were fixed on Yin Jiuyuan.
At this time, before Yin Jiuyuan could speak, an elder could not help but whisper to Yin Jiuyuan nervously:
"Headmaster, how can this be possible? Since the founding of the Federation, there has never been a sudden change of president before the end of his term!"
Although the president is only a representative and a decision-maker in the Federation without real power, in a sense he is the Federation's ambassador. A sudden change will surely cause a lot of discussion among the people. Now we have just signed an armistice agreement with the Empire, and the impact of the war is still fresh. If the Empire takes the opportunity to make a comeback, then... the consequences are unimaginable.
Jing Li's words caused a commotion among the people present. Several elders turned their eyes to Yin Jiuyuan, fearing that he would agree to it.
"The president's term has not yet expired, and I have no plans to reappoint anyone at the moment." Yin Jiuyuan said coldly.
"His term has not yet expired? That's easy. Just kill him. Now that he's dead, who cares whether his term has expired or not?" Jing Li still had that indifferent tone, as if in his eyes, the federal president was just a small ant beast that could be crushed to death with just a flick of his finger.
As soon as these words were spoken, there was another commotion in the Senate Hall. Several elders who had managed to survive looked at Jing Li with trembling eyes.
