Chapter 250: Subversion

Five minutes later.

Inside the manor, sweat kept rolling down the forehead of the elderly Yuede.

In the room, the others knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to move.

"How have you considered it?" Lin Chao asked softly.

The voice was flat, devoid of any emotional color.

Those present heard Lin Chao's voice and felt as if it were a demon.

"Gr... Great One, since the founding of Li Zhu Country, there has never been a Speaker from an outside race!"

"If this is done, the people will surely revolt!"

"What will the people think? What will other countries think?"

Lin Chao's gaze was calm: "It seems you still haven't seen the situation clearly; Jading State is also due for a change in helmsman."

Just then, a young man stood up, picked up a Spear, and fired several shots at the elderly Yuede.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yuede was hit, dead as could be.

In the room, there was an immediate chorus of weeping.

The young man walked up to Lin Chao, knelt on both knees, his eyes filled with awe: "Yuer is willing to serve the Great One, even unto death!"

Lin Chao revealed a smile.

He saw ambition in Yuer's eyes.

He did not mind: "Good."

Having resolved this manor, Lin Chao's figure vanished.

Throughout the entire Li Zhu Country, there were still many other states.

He still had many manors to visit, and many people to meet.

That night, the entire Li Zhu Country experienced a slaughter, with blood flowing everywhere.

Among those top-tier individuals, there were almost no stiff spines.

Of course, Lin Chao still killed many who were eyesores to him.

Coming to Li Zhu Country, changing the Speaker, changing the parliament—it was nothing more than a casual game.

Before long, Lin Chao left the last manor and appeared at a music bar.

Soothing music played; the night was deep, and many young men and women were drinking and chatting in the bar.

Quiet and peaceful, as if the entire Li Zhu Country were still the same as before.

They did not know that just a moment ago, the upper echelons of Li Zhu Country had undergone a major reshuffle.

"Indeed, without powerful strength, power is nothing but duckweed without roots." Lin Chao drank a glass of wine and let out a sigh.

However, the original Li Zhu Country also had powerful strength; it just happened to run into Lin Chao.

"Handsome, want to have a drink together?" At this moment, a tall woman extended an invitation to Lin Chao.

Lin Chao smiled and declined.

The Sun began to rise.

Li Guoliang woke up, his face carrying heavy fatigue.

"Sigh, time to go look for a job."

Even now, he had no idea in his heart what kind of job he should look for.

If he didn't find a new job, he wouldn't even be able to pay the rent after a while.

"Sigh, a man in his forties, and I'm still this down and out; I really am useless!"

Li Guoliang let out a sigh.

In fact, compared to those relatives of the past, he was already doing quite well.

In the city, he had two apartments and two cars.

After sighing, Li Guoliang pushed open his door.

Life had to go on.

Only, the next second, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Outside his door stood six men in suits and leather shoes.

They were standing outside, seemingly having been there for a while.

The man in the lead looked somewhat familiar to Li Guoliang; he seemed to have seen him on a magazine cover.

If Li Guoliang remembered correctly, this young man came from an extraordinary background and was a descendant of one of the major hereditary families of Li Zhu Country.

At the time, he had even discussed with colleagues that someone born with a Gold key in their mouth was extremely enviable.

Why did they suddenly appear here?

Why were they blocking his door?

Had he committed a crime?

Various thoughts swirled in Li Guoliang's heart.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Li Guoliang?" The young man stepped forward, his face carrying a respectful expression.

Li Guoliang was puzzled, but he still acknowledged: "Yes."

Since the other party could find this place, they must have already investigated him.

"I am Yuer of the Si-Han Family; we have come here to invite... Mr. Li Guoliang to become the Speaker of our Li Zhu Country," Yuer said slowly, his words carrying a hint of envy.

"What?" Li Guoliang was stunned; he even slapped his own face, wondering if he hadn't woken up yet.

Is this the kind of dream he could have?

"Mr. Li Guoliang, this is not a dream.

Our Si-Han Family is willing to serve you, Mr. Li, and help you ascend to the position of Speaker.

Not only that, the Ge-Er Family, the Panzi Family, the Wenxuan Family, and others are all willing to follow your lead and help you, Mr. Li, ascend to the position of Speaker!" Yuer said unhurriedly.

"You aren't lying to me, are you? The Speaker is still alive right now, isn't he?

Besides, I am a citizen of Great Xia Country; how could I possibly become the Speaker of Li Zhu Country?"

"The Speaker has already passed away, and the law... can be changed at any time." Yuer spoke slowly.

Indeed, the law never restricts them.

Changing the law is nothing at all.

Li Guoliang took a deep breath.

He felt as though he had experienced a strange event.

However, the person before him held immense power and would not know a small fry like him, so why would they come to find amusement in him?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Li Guoliang's mind.

Lin Chao?

Yesterday, while eating with Lin Chao, Lin Chao had asked him casually if he would be willing to be the Speaker of Li Zhu Country.

He had merely taken it as a joke and replied that he would be willing if there were no safety issues.

Now, had it actually become a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Could it be related to Lin Chao?

But how did he manage it?

Li Guoliang took a deep breath: "Why did you choose me to be the Speaker?"

If it's acting, then let's act.

A look of awe appeared on Yuer's face: "God... designated you."

"God?" Li Guoliang's heart shook.

He recalled that yesterday, Fan Bin seemed not to have noticed Lin Chao.

The meal fee was also only paid for one person.

At the time, he hadn't paid it any mind, but looking at it now, it seemed to be true.

Li Guoliang's heartbeat accelerated continuously.

To become the Speaker of Li Zhu Country, one of the most powerful people in this world.

He had directly crossed class lines!

"A salted fish turning over" is not enough to describe it.

This kind of opportunity is hard to come by in ten thousand years.

One must know, the Speaker is the most powerful person in Li Zhu Country on the surface.

Holding the supreme power of the military, government, and judiciary!

"What an idiot!"

"Great Xia still wants to provoke our Li Zhu Country?"

"So what if the Gold Kong was lured over by our Li Zhu Country?"

"Have the guts to retaliate then?"

Qixi replied to a few posts on the Supernatural Forum, then turned on the TV, preparing to watch some dramas.

However, to his surprise, at this hour when a drama should be playing, why was the news still on?

"Speaker Sangzhi has suddenly fallen critically ill and passed away after emergency treatment failed; let us observe a moment of silence for Speaker Sangzhi."

On the news, the spokesperson's face wore a trace of solemnity.

Qixi was stunned: "The Speaker passed away?"

If he remembered correctly, the Speaker was not that old and looked quite young.

"Sigh, heaven is fair; as expected, even high-ranking officials have no way to survive when they encounter such things."

Qixi couldn't help but sigh.

He felt that he should exercise more in the future and not always eat takeout, otherwise he would die suddenly one day.

However, he suddenly thought of the Gold Kong invading Great Xia Country and being Slayed by an Immortal of Great Xia.

Are the two related?

Immediately, he discarded this thought; there was definitely no connection.

That was the Speaker of Li Zhu Country.

Great Xia has Immortals, but does Li Zhu Country not have other powerhouses?

If not, why is Li Zhu Country's status internationally higher than Great Xia Country's?

This shows that Li Zhu Country must still have some reliance.

"I wonder who the new Speaker will be, Yuede? Kang Lian?" Qixi guessed.

At this moment, the news began to broadcast the next piece of information.

"Following discussion and voting by the House of Representatives, the selection of Mr. Li Guoliang as the new Speaker of Li Zhu Country has been passed unanimously.

Li Guoliang, a Great Xia person, graduate of the electrical repair major at Harqingniao Academy, forty-seven years old, non-partisan..."

"God!" Qixi was stunned, "Has my TV caught a virus?"

At the same time, throughout all of Li Zhu Country, there were many people like Qixi seeing this news, as many as a hundred million.

They looked at this news, simply unable to believe it.

Why was a new Speaker elected just after the old Speaker passed away?

The new Speaker is even an unknown person from Daxia; this is simply too outrageous.

The Supreme Court of the country stipulates that the Speaker must be a citizen of Li Zhu Country.

Throughout all of Li Zhu Country, the internet was in an uproar.

"God, what is going on?"

"Black Screen, Black Screen, there is definitely a Black Screen!"

"I protest, I protest!"

"We demand fairness!"

"Have the brains of the upper echelons been kicked by a donkey?"
