Chapter 370 Parliament and Banquet
scanning.
Blood draw.
sampling.
The ring was matched with the blood sample.
All of this took place inside the castle, in a spacious basement. Unlike the classical style above, the basement was like a high-tech laboratory, complete with modern decor and all sorts of advanced equipment.
Although it was just a blood draw and matching process, it took nearly an hour. In Lin Rui's eyes, these researchers in protective suits were more like giving him a full physical examination.
For a fleeting moment, Lin Rui almost thought these people wanted to slice him into pieces!
Feeling a stinging sensation on the finger where the ring was worn, Lin Rui knew that the ring was merging with his body.
Normally, once a ring is put on, it cannot be taken off, as Edward of Sequence Three said.
Because once the device is removed, security agencies in various countries will receive the news immediately. They will contact the wearer through various channels. If they cannot reach the wearer, they will consider the wearer's personal safety to be threatened and will immediately activate the emergency plan.
Furthermore, if the ring is damaged, the process of contacting the wearer will be skipped, and a rescue operation will proceed directly.
Although Lin Rui disliked the rule that once you put it on, you can't take it off, he didn't say anything. At least he felt that this almost surveillance-like method was not simply to ensure the safety of the sequence.
After this step was completed, the global entertainment industry received a major piece of news.
Shenzhou artist Fusheng, who stole the show at this year's music festival, has been officially announced by the Heavenly King Council as the twelfth in the sequence!
The shock this news caused was no less than when Lin Rui won hundreds of awards at the music festival!
Heavenly King Council!
Apart from those top international celebrities who had already received word or vaguely guessed the truth, the other celebrities were completely stunned on the spot. Even the artist teams that originally wanted to retaliate afterward by spreading false rumors about Lin Rui or even jointly boycott him all fell silent at this moment.
Sequence twelve!
To be an enemy of this identity means to be an enemy of the entire Heavenly King Council. Even some heads of departments in various countries would have to think twice before dealing with the Sequence.
For a time, artists from various countries engaged in heated discussions surrounding Lin Rui's new identity.
Major media outlets, as well as those stubborn marketing accounts, have also been reporting on this matter.
In fact, many people around the world have no idea about this so-called Heavenly King Council. After all, this mysterious organization is only known to artists of second-tier or higher international status. However, because today's protagonist is Lin Rui, a Chinese artist who stole the show at the Gallic Music Festival, he has gained worldwide attention!
What is the Heavenly King Council?!
What exactly does this organization do?!
In no time, reports about the Heavenly King Council sprang up like mushrooms after rain, spreading wildly!
Just as onlookers were speculating, a highly authoritative music organization announced a list.
The list mentions eight people, all of whom are members of the Heavenly King Council.
Sequence Four – Potts!
Sequence Five – Solsky!
Sequence Six – Sean!
Sequence Seven – Michaels!
Sequence Eight – Michelle!
Sequence Nine – Isabella Raven!
Sequence Ten – Charles!
Sequence Eleven – Fiona!
Add to that Lin Rui, who was just announced as Sequence Twelve, and the whole world is stunned!
What the hell kind of organization is this?!
They are all top-tier figures in the entertainment industry!
They were not only familiar with these people's names, they were extremely familiar with them!
It's important to know that these people are not only incredibly famous, but they can even be said to dominate the entertainment industry of this era!
Perhaps sensing that the Heavenly King Council was not immediately blocking the news as it had done in the past, the media, who had been hesitant, suddenly became excited and began to frantically reveal everything they knew.
On this day, the global entertainment sector was celebrating like it was New Year's Day.
The people inside the castle were indifferent to the uproar outside, and didn't even bother to pay attention to it. Even if everyone outside went crazy, it had little to do with them.
At this moment, all twelve extremely luxurious chairs were occupied, and Lin Rui was naturally among them. His gaze kept sweeping over the two people opposite him.
Sequence Two – Crawford!
And then there's the most mysterious one, Sequence One—Phillips!
Prince!
Another royal prince!
And he was younger than I imagined, looking to be only in his early twenties, but Edward had mentioned before that Prince Phillips was already in his forties!
Is this scientifically sound?!
Others might find this unscientific, but in Lin Rui's view, it doesn't seem to be anything special.
Who is Lin Rui?
There is a bug in the system. With a health value of 99, even if he reaches forty years old, he will probably still look the same as he does now. Perhaps he will only show signs of aging after his health value declines.
This wasn't his guess; it was how the system had explained it from the beginning.
Could it be that this Sequence One also has control over the system?
Probably not. At least Lin Rui had just tentatively asked the system and found that the system did not respond to it at all, so he could only say that he was overthinking it.
As for why this Sequence One is so well-preserved, it may be for some other reason. In any case, it can't be some kind of vampire or something like that, that would be unscientific!
"Let's give another round of applause to welcome our new member."
Phillips smiled amiably: "Here, we address each other simply by our sequence. Twelve, is there anything you wish to say?"
"I am honored to be one of you here, but I am curious what obligations I am required to fulfill?"
After a pause, Lin Rui added, "Or rather, responsibility."
Phillips' smile widened: "It seems our new member has some misunderstandings about our family."
At this point, Phillips looked at Lin Rui with admiration: "Not only you, but everyone here has no obligation or responsibility to leave one day, and we will all smile and see them off."
Lin Rui nodded: "I'm fine."
Phillips smiled and nodded, then glanced at everyone present: "Now that all twelve of the Sequences are complete, I have had a banquet prepared. I hope everyone enjoys the evening."
The banquet was held in a very special location: at the very top of the castle, in an open-air area.
They weren't the only ones attending the banquet; a group of elegantly dressed men and women also came, including either wealthy merchants or members of the royal family.
Lin Rui and the others were mentally prepared for such a social occasion, since Phillips had prepared evening gowns for them before they came up.
"I thought you would make a fool of yourself."
Charles, holding a glass of red wine, sat down next to Lin Rui with a smile.
