World Version Updates

The hall echoed with the angry voices of the nobility, their words filled with an ingrained sense of superiority and arrogance.

It was not by chance. In this mysterious world dominated by Extraordinary Abilities, the shadow of the feudal era has ruled the entire world for tens of thousands of years.

Those Extraordinary nobles continued from the feudal era had long engraved their disdain and arrogance toward commoners into the depths of their marrow, with some extreme nobles even considering ordinary people and nobles to be entirely different races.

If it were the period of the industrial revolution on Earth, the capitalists who mastered emerging wealth would gradually challenge and eventually defeat the old nobility, and their cognition of the working class would change along with societal reforms.

However, in this world dominated by Extraordinary Powers, emerging nobles and capitalists have barely gained the qualification to converse with the great nobles, far from having enough strength to shake the established order.

This renders the great nobles completely unnecessary to change their concepts, as they still control the destinies of countless ordinary lives like deities, arbitrarily giving and taking.

Even when entering the industrial era, there are no signs of this ingrained class rift bridging in the slightest.

Right amidst the great nobles' agitated uproar, a steady voice interrupted their denunciation.

It was Marquis Bodley seated to the right of Marquis White. He was nearing fifty, with short silver hair, his eyes revealing shrewdness and experience.

"Gentlemen, those muddy-footed union members aren't worth mentioning; dealing with them is merely a matter of words. A new regulation, a fresh government communiqué, could easily dismantle this so-called union."

He tapped the tabletop with his finger, lowering his voice, "What truly needs caution is the Saint who appeared at the Violet Manor."

Once these words were spoken, the parliamentary hall immediately fell silent, as everyone understood its significance.

At the Extraordinary banquet at Violet Manor, a Human Saint stood for the union, gaining support from numerous emerging nobles and capitalists, enabling the union to rapidly grow.

Because of this, the great nobles dared not act rashly.

In the Sequence system of the Extraordinary World, Sequence 5 can pledge allegiance to the royalty and be granted nobility.

Whereas a Sequence 4 Human Saint is a formidable being capable of establishing a century-old family, a true significant entity in the Extraordinary World.

Among the great noble families present, most ancestors had once been Human Saints but have all disappeared over the long passage of time.

Within the entire hall, the families still with existing Saints don't exceed three, and the White Family is one of them.

Due to vigorously supporting the royalty during industrial reforms, the White Family received substantial rewards, having no less than three existing Saints now.

All eyes unconsciously turned towards Marquis White, awaiting his response. Sensing the gaze of many, a meaningful smile finally appeared on the Marquis's face.

"There's no need for concern, gentlemen." Marquis White slowly rose, his voice carrying irrefutable authority, "Although Saint Lu, who appeared at Violet Manor, possesses extraordinary methods, the union he founded has impacted the industrial development of the Kingdom.

This is a century-long plan set by the royalty; how can a mere Saint have the qualifications to interfere with such matters?"

Upon hearing these words, numerous nobles suddenly realized.

Though the White Family has three Saints, it is not wise to offend a Saint just for some industrial district interests.

However, if royal will is behind it, then everything makes sense.

"My Levin Clan is willing to fully support the White Family!" Levin Count immediately declared, his voice unable to conceal the excitement.

"The Thorn Clan also wishes to provide full assistance!" Another noble followed suit.

Observing the great nobles expressing their stance one after another, Marquis White's smile grew deeper.

He leaned forward, lowering his voice, speaking slowly:

"The intention of a royal highness is to eliminate the Human Saint behind the union, then seize control of the union, and lawfully annex the industries of those emerging nobles and capitalists."

Not a few great nobles had their eyes alight upon hearing this, greed openly displayed.

The wealth owned by emerging nobles and capitalists even surpasses many of the old nobility present, long drawing everyone's covetousness.

Only, constrained by the order of industrial reforms, no one dared to seizing forcefully.

If they could take this opportunity for a complete takeover, it would undoubtedly be a rare chance of a lifetime.

"Since it involves emerging nobles and capitalists," an elder bard cautiously spoke, "perhaps a more appropriate reason should be sought to avoid causing unnecessary trouble?"

Marquis White chuckled calmly upon hearing this, taking out a finely bound contract from a leather case beside him, gently placing it in the center of the long table.

"You can rest assured; weeks ago, the union killed the deputy director of the industrial district hospital chosen by the White Family.

This matter clearly violated noble law, and the White Family has every right thoroughly to investigate the union, without anyone being able to find the slightest flaw."

He swept a glance around, his eyes flashing with a look of confidence:

"As for the Human Saint of the union, he mastered the method of producing a Spatial Extraordinary Item known as a pouch, suspected of being skilled in Spatial Abilities.

The White Family will send three Saints, aiming to suppress him at the first opportunity."

Not a few great nobles suddenly showed expressions of realization.

The White Family's intense regard for a mere union is likely related, beyond pleasing the royalty, to the union's Saint demonstrating the ability to produce pouches.
