NOVEL NEXT Chapter 774: A Hasty Conclusion!_1
"The Duke of the Great British Empire..."
"Master of the Dragon Hall..."
"Is the weight enough this time?"
The King's words echoed in everyone's ears, causing a tremble in the bodies of the six great families of the Imperial City, who finally came to their senses.
All eyes were complexly fixed on Yin Tian.
Nobody had expected that Yin Tian, who was not well-known domestically, actually possessed such a terrifying identity!
The Duke of the Great British Empire.
He represented the face of the Great British Empire.
In the entire Great British Empire, there were no more than ten dukes.
They had no doubt that if anything unexpected happened to Yin Tian, the Great British Empire would probably send out troops without hesitation!
And that identity as the Master of the Dragon Hall made everyone's heart tremble even more.
If one were to talk about the top organization in the world today, comparable to a powerful country, it would definitely be the Dragon Hall!
After all, the Dragon Hall was composed of a total of eleven of the world's top powers.
If the Dragon Hall were truly to mobilize in full force, they could easily annihilate a country!
And the Master of the Dragon Hall...
Was standing right before them at this moment!
"King."
A Family Head stood up without hesitation, "I agree that Yin... Mr. Yin should become the Seventh Great Family of the Imperial City!"
"King, I also agree."
"Please start the enthronement ceremony immediately!"
"For the Yin Family to become the Seventh Great Family of the Imperial City, it is only right and proper!"
One after another, the Family Heads spoke up, all expressing their agreement.
Qu Datong's face was ashen. He had not expected Yin Tian to have so many identities!
His plan to suppress Yin Tian had completely fallen through!
"Yin Tian, come forward."
The King gestured to Yin Tian with a hook of his finger.
Yin Tian immediately stepped forward, ascending the steps and came before the King.
He saw the King take a token from someone beside him, "This is the token representing your identity as one of the seven kings of the Imperial City, and as for the one previously given to you, keep that as well."
Yin Tian received the shimmering gold token and nodded slowly.
"Good!"
"With the Yin Family as the Seventh Great Family of the Imperial City, and the Family Head of the Yin Family becoming one of the seven kings, it is the will of the people!"
Down below, a dense round of applause sounded.
Only the members of the Qu Family had darkened faces, standing there as if they were wooden carvings.
"Additionally, today, apart from this matter, I have another announcement to make."
All heads lifted, looking towards the King and Yin Tian.
The people from the six great families could all roughly guess what the King was about to announce.
Because they had received the news yesterday.
"I have a daughter named Linglong. Today, I will betroth Princess Linglong to Yin Tian!"
The King declared loudly.
Afterwards, the King waved at Princess Linglong, who was dressed in her ceremonial gown and standing not far behind.
Princess Linglong paced forward and stood on the other side of the King.
Yin Tian cast a sideways glance at Princess Linglong and saw that she had an expressionless face as if she hadn't even seen him.
Yin Tian nodded to himself internally.
This was for the best.
"You are all familiar with Princess Linglong. Today, I am able to entrust Princess Linglong to Yin Tian, and I consider..."
As the King was speaking, Princess Linglong interrupted without hesitation, "I refuse!"
The moment these words were uttered, the entire hall fell silent, even the sound of breathing was gone.
The large hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
Nobody had expected Princess Linglong to publicly defy the King, especially in front of him!
"Linglong! Don't make a fuss!"
The King rebuked Princess Linglong in a low voice.
However, as if Princess Linglong had not heard the King's words, she continued loudly, "I do not like Yin Tian, nor do I wish to marry him. Whoever wants to marry can marry!"
With these words, Princess Linglong suddenly took off the hairpin from her head, threw it hard onto the floor, and turned to run into the distance.
Clearly, the King had not expected Princess Linglong to dare to publicly defy him.
After he recovered from his shock, his gaze swept over the people below.
The crowd instantly kept their eyes and mouths in check, as if nothing had happened just moments before.
"Hmph!"
The King flicked his sleeve and sat heavily back on the Dragon Throne.
"Do not be angry, King."
With a bitter smile, Yin Tian bowed slightly and said, "After all, this issue arose because of me; if it wasn't for my actions yesterday..."
"Say no more."
The King waved his hand, "If not for my spoiling her to become like this, how could such an incident have occurred? In the end, it is my fault…"
Yin Tian looked deeply at the King, feeling that at this moment, the King seemed to have aged a decade.
"Please do not punish Princess Linglong afterward, King."
Yin Tian softly pleaded.
The King looked at Yin Tian in surprise, then shook his head helplessly, "Defiance in public, if left uncorrected, where will my authority stand?"
Yin Tian opened his mouth, but no words came out.
After a while, the King lifted his head up again, regaining his majesty.
"Everyone, please dine."
At this time, who would dare to eat?
They each sat in their own places, tasting the food in front of them, yet without any flavor.
A banquet ended just like that, in haste.
After the banquet, Yin Tian made up an excuse and left the palace, returning to Central City.
