Chapter 908: Chapter 401: Decision-Making (Five-in-One)

Beludo saw Long Chen and Komit both set their eyes on Su Ming and couldn’t help feeling a little anxious. He immediately said to Su Mulong.

"Wait, Brother Su! I mentioned marriage to you during the promotion dinner. We should at least follow the order of things!"

Upon hearing Beludo’s words, Su Mulong immediately felt a headache.

Back then, he wanted to arrange a marriage for Su Yuan but faced obstacles everywhere. Anyone decent was evasive.

Now, things have turned upside down, and these people are fighting over it.

"This..."

Su Mulong didn’t know how to respond.

Su Feng and the others were also left speechless; it was the first time they saw the younger generation so popular.

At this moment, Su Ming saw Su Mulong’s difficulty and stepped forward, calmly saying.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your favor. But I am still young and temporarily not considering romantic matters. I want to focus on my career."

Long Chen and others heard Su Ming’s words, their eyes brightened, and their admiration grew.

They didn’t expect Su Ming to have such awareness; his future surely holds limitless possibilities.

Just as they were about to speak, Vice City Lord Okens stepped onto the stage and shouted to everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the guests are arriving soon."

Su Mulong quickly sized the opportunity and said.

"Su Ming is indeed still young and should focus on his career. We’ll talk about marriage later. The guests are arriving; let’s go welcome them."

"Alright!"

Long Chen and the others nodded.

At this moment, the three city lords Gakels finished conversing with others and began heading to the center of the hall.

Meanwhile, the ceremonial soldiers at the hall entrance loudly announced.

"Fretta Kingdom’s Friev King, Woguo Kingdom’s Sevo King, Tasji Kingdom’s Smu King have arrived!"

Su Ming and the others turned to look.

They saw Friev, Sevo, and Smu, the three kings dressed in luxurious ceremonial robes and smiling, walking in.

"Aren’t these the three countries from the Danube Star Sea?"

"Yes, it’s them. That Fretta Kingdom was exterminated by a star."

...

Everyone whispered amongst themselves.

At this moment, Gakels took the lead, walked forward, and shook hands with each of them, exchanging polite greetings.

"Welcome, welcome, the journey must have been tiring."

"Lord Gakels, you are too kind. It is our privilege to be invited to the Federation’s annual meeting."

The Friev King humbly said.

"Indeed, it is our honor."

Smu’s two kings echoed.

"Well, please proceed inside."

Gakels courteously said.

"Alright!"

Smu and others walked inside.

Many councilors stepped forward to shake hands and exchange pleasantries with the three of them.

At this point, the ceremonial soldiers spoke loudly again.

"Sea Tide Kingdom’s Queen Beivela, Hajavit Kingdom’s King Kendim, Bolute Kingdom’s King Fudger have arrived!"

Following the announcement.

A queen in a luxurious blue gown, with snow-white complexion, distant arch-like eyebrows, high nose bridge, and crimson lips led the way in. Closely followed by a robust middle-aged man in black robes with a thick beard and an old man slightly hunched with a face full of wrinkles and sharp eyes.

Su Ming looked at the three kings entering, revealing a pensive expression.

These three kings are from the neutral countries of the Tidal Star Sea, similar in status to Smu.

They all belong to the Federation’s staunch allies, privately holding defense agreements with it.

Alicia warmly stepped up to greet the three.

Rain Capital’s external industries are mostly in the Tide Country, where her troops are also stationed in large numbers.

Thus, she has a deep relationship with the neutral countries of the Tidal Star Sea.

However, after exchanging pleasantries with Alicia, Queen Beivela and her companions also enthusiastically greeted Gakels and Farren.

At this point, the ceremonial soldiers continued calling out.

"Abayk King Baisitan has arrived!"

With the announcement’s end, a short fat middle-aged man with an oily face, adorned with various luxurious gemstone rings, wearing a luxurious red starry robe walked in. He smiled warmly and engaged in pleasantries with Gakels and the others.

Seeing this guy, Su Ming smirked slightly, surprised that he was here.

Back then, Imperial Court Academy almost fell victim to him during a logistics operation.

However, this guy is quite slick; after the rebel incident, he immediately sought to connect with Mia, leading Vice Principal Fleck to reluctantly forgive him; otherwise, he would likely have been blacklisted.

More and more kings and envoys from neutral countries continued to arrive.

Su Ming stood quietly, observing.

...

In the blink of an eye, over an hour had passed, and many neutral kings and envoys filled the grand hall, making for a lively scene.

Su Mulong, Long Chen, and others exchanged pleasantries with them.

Su Ming and others silently followed Su Mulong, watching them converse.

"Friev King, after attending the annual meeting this time, why not stay a bit longer?"

"Indeed, we plan to, for not only attending the annual meeting but also to procure some weapons."

"Really? That’s great; you might want to consider our Dragon Pattern Group."

...

Long Chen, Su Mulong, and other arms dealers became enthusiastic upon hearing the neutral countries expressing interest in procuring weapons, engaging in even more fervent conversation.

Su Ming watched, feeling bored, as he wasn’t very interested in such social interactions.

"Squeak Squeak!"
