Chapter 84 Speaker of the House
"Ah?"
Su Chiming was stunned by Alkaid's words, at first not comprehending them.
But the next second, as if realizing something, his tone abruptly paused, "The Liao Family!?"
Alkaid had become a Martial Saint!
The family he could personally annihilate, even if not of the Noble Families tier, must surely belong to a rank just below them.
However, among the families nationally that are just below the Noble Families tier, there was no family with the surname Liao.
Among the nine great Noble Families above them, likewise, none were there, only one...
That was an ancient existence which had ruled over Dayu Country for four hundred years, surpassing the Noble Families!
Moreover, considering what Alkaid had said, this matter was even more significant than their control over Tian Nan...
A startling conjecture that closely matched the truth was about to emerge!
"The Royal Liao Family?"
Su Chiming's voice suddenly rose.
"Right."
Alkaid responded, "Settle the accounts, come quickly."
Su Chiming on the other end of the phone was dumbfounded.
The Royal Liao Family!?
Continue your journey with empire
Although this was his own conclusion based on some clues he had, but...
No matter how unimaginable he thought, he could hardly consider the Royal Liao Family.
The Royal Liao Family, that was an ancient family that had ruled Dayu Country for precisely four hundred years, always a mountain looming over everyone's hearts like.
Let alone the Su Family, even the Yue Family in Tian Nan was far inferior compared to the Liao Family.
And now...
The Su Family had just been busy a month ago, grappling for power in the Bu Zhou Group, using various methods to preserve his position as the chairman of the Bu Zhou Group, unable to even get a meeting with the head of the Yue Family.
Just one month had passed, and Su Alkaid was already calling him, telling him that they had already annihilated the Royal Liao Family, asking him to bring people to tally and receive the assets of the Royal Liao Family?
One month!
From internal corporate strife in a provincial group to annihilating the Royal Family and taking over the royal assets?
Even movies wouldn't dare to depict this!
"Alkaid..."
Su Chiming was about to ask further, but Alkaid had already said, "Once you arrive, you will naturally understand."
Then, the call ended.
On the other end of the phone.
Su Chiming, listening to the dial tone from his phone, took a long while to recover his senses.
The Royal Liao Family, just gone like that?
The current influence of the Su Family at best paralleled that of a Fourth Level official, above them were the Vice Governors, Governors, Noble Families that dominated the provinces, and the great Noble Families such as the Lu Family and Jiang Family that were considered top-tier among them.
Next, only then did it match the Royal Liao Family.
But now...
The Liao Family, four ranks higher than the Su Family, had just been annihilated by Alkaid?
The Su Family had performed a quadruple leap, from a big provincial family to the level of a Royal Family of Dayu?
His lifelong wish had been to lead the Su Family to become a Noble Family.
The scenario before him...
He hadn't even dared to dream of it.
Reality, more fantastical than dreams?
"A single Su Family cannot sustain the situation in Dayu, and I will also devote most of my time and energy to cultivating, aiming to quickly advance through the Divine Intent, Primordial Chaos, and even reach the Heavenly Human Realm..."
Alkaid continued.
When he mentioned the term "Heavenly Human," the core members of each family were visibly shaken.
Heavenly Human!
That was a power truly capable of presiding over a realm.
According to their family records, when Artifact Sect occupied a world, they would, depending on the situation, keep that world for themselves or assign it to a major cultivator.
That cultivator often sent a core team led by a Heavenly Human to ensure the governance of that world.
Thus, there has always been the saying, "Heavenly Humans stabilize the world."
Now...
For Alkaid, who was still a Martial Saint, to already set his sights on the Heavenly Human Realm was nothing short of astounding.
But considering he was only nineteen now and the prowess they had just witnessed firsthand as he defeated two Martial Saints alone...
Heavenly Human was not beyond hope.
If Alkaid truly achieved Heavenly Human status, the future influence of Dayu Country would inevitably spread throughout Zhongzhou and the East Continent. If he could become a disciple of a major cultivator in Artifact Sect, Dayu Country becoming a giant on par with Snow Dragon and Red Star was not unfeasible.
At that time, what would the territory of Dayu Country be worth?
The nine noble families might each possess territory and resources far exceeding those of Dayu Country.
Thinking of this, Jiang Sheng quickly said, "The Su Family might not be able to sustain the situation in Dayu now, but we nine families are willing to do everything in our power to assist the Su Family in maintaining control over the thirteen provinces of Dayu."
"Even though the nine major families form the supreme council, it would not be appropriate to have no leader. I think we should elect a chairman to oversee the overall situation, and Lord Alkaid would be very suitable for this position."
Lv Jianfeng and the others nodded in agreement.
Yue Xingzhou understood why Alkaid had made that statement earlier.
To advance by retreating.
To remind them what the true core of this alliance of the ten powers was.
He looked again at Lv Jianfeng, Jiang Sheng, and the others, who clearly had also guessed this reason.
Initially hoping to secure more advantages, they hastened to act along when Alkaid pointed it out.
In reality, everyone was well aware of the advantages and disadvantages.
"I do not have the leisure to take on the role of chairman,"
Alkaid stated outright.
"No matter, we know that you prioritize cultivation, and you can appoint a proxy to act on your behalf in routine matters,"
Jiang Sheng said with a smile.
The others also nodded and smiled.
"All right then,"
Alkaid hoped that Dayu Country could continue to nourish his "Businessman" branches, but he also knew that governing a nation was not his forte.
Given the extent of their conversation, he could hardly refuse.
He decided to agree for now and would look for an opportunity later to relinquish the position of chairman.
"Then let's proceed in this manner. Everyone leave representatives in the royal capital to handle communication, and then return to your respective provinces as soon as possible to stabilize the situation. We must not give neighboring forces an opportunity to exploit.
In three months, once the situation is somewhat stable, we will convene a national expansion meeting to formulate future development policies for Dayu."
Alkaid said.
"We will follow Lord Alkaid's wishes."
"It should be Chairman Alkaid."
"Three months is enough. Please rest assured, Chairman Alkaid, we will surely maintain local stability and not give neighboring forces the chance to stir trouble,"
Jiang Sheng, Lv Jianfeng, Li Cunyu, Xu Dengfeng, and others promptly promised.
Alkaid nodded.
The brief exchange marked the conclusion of Dayu Country's swift and decisive political coup.
