Following Cincraymond's departure, a group of members of the council took pleasure in his misfortune and started discussing among themselves.
"So there's an inheritance mark!"
"With an inheritance mark, there's nothing to be suspicious about."
"Why didn't this kid take it out earlier! He's just toying with us! "
"To think that Cao Guan and Sinclair wanted to take back the baron's seal from him. This kid is a little cunning."
…
Hearing these words, Cao Guan could not stay any longer. His face was pale and ugly as he glared at Wang Teng.
At this moment, he was like an ant on a hot pan in the meeting. It was incomparably torturous.
However, he did not have Sinclair's status, so he did not dare to leave without permission.
"Wang Teng, there's no problem with your identity as the successor. However, if you want to inherit the baron's title, you still need to pass the council's assessment," the elder spoke again.
"Assessment?" Wang Teng frowned.
"That's right. Everyone who inherits the title has to go through an assessment. This is the Empire's rule. Those who are unworthy of the title or have insufficient potential will not be able to inherit the title," the elder said.
Wang Teng nodded and asked, "Then when will I be assessed?"
"There's no hurry. We need to discuss the assessment together. We'll inform you of the details later." The elder said, "Moreover, as the original temporary baron, Cao Hongtu must also wait for his return. He has made many contributions over the years, so it's impossible to erase them just like that."
Wang Teng frowned again. He had a feeling that this matter was not so simple. However, since the elder had said so, it was clear that this matter could not be resolved simply by talking.
"Go back and wait for the news," the elder finally said.
The meeting was finally over. The council members got up one after another and left the hall.
Wang Teng had no other choice. He had done everything he could. The rest would depend on the council's arrangements for the assessment and Cao Hongtu's matter.
"I didn't expect Cao Hongtu to have done so many things over the years. It seems that he's really put in a lot of effort!" Yuan Gungun said in Wang Teng's mind.
"This person is probably much harder to deal with than that useless son of his," Wang Teng said to himself.
"Hmph, I knew that he was a scheming person back then, but Master Nangong didn't believe me," Yuan Gungun said angrily.
"What's the point of saying all this now?" Wang Teng said helplessly. "Let's go back and wait for the results."
"Well, but don't worry. I accompanied Master Nangong to participate in the Chengxi Dynasty's Noble Title Examination. This examination shouldn't be difficult for you." Yuan Gungun comforted him.
As the two conversed, they walked out of the Aristocratic Review Hall. However, when Wang Teng walked past the stone tablet at the entrance, he discovered that Cao Guan was waiting for him outside.
Cao Guan blocked Wang Teng's path and whispered to him, "I can give you a sum of money to leave the Imperial City and the Qian Empire. Don't low-level fighters like you just want resources? The Cao family can afford it." Cao Guan blocked Wang Teng's path and whispered to him.
Wang Teng tilted his head and looked at him. Then, he smiled very happily and said with contempt, "No, you can't afford it."
His gaze and smile immediately ignited Cao Guan's anger.
"If you can afford it, you wouldn't be eyeing the Baron position." Wang Teng didn't mind blowing things up and added fuel to the fire.
"Some things aren't something you can touch. Do you think the Aristocratic Review Hall is a reasonable place? Do you think that just because you passed the Aristocratic Review Hall, you can smoothly inherit the Baron position? You're too naive. You're just a planet-level fighter. Even if you can inherit the Baron position, so what? It won't be long before someone wants your life. "Cao Guan gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
"Are you threatening me?" Wang Teng narrowed his eyes and stared at Cao Guan.
"Threatening? No, this is advice. "Cao Guan thought that Wang Teng was scared and smiled proudly. He reached out his hand and wanted to pat Wang Teng's shoulder.
However, Wang Teng dodged his action and suddenly shouted, "What? You actually want your father, Cao Hongtu, to kill me? You even want the Pyrax family to defy the Empire's laws and secretly put a bounty on my head? How can the Cao family be so vicious?! Your father and I are the descendants of Baron Nangong. I didn't expect your father to be such a vicious person. "
"F * ck!" Cao Guan's face turned pale and he exploded. "I didn't. You're lying. You're slandering me!"
"You did, you did. Do you dare to swear that you didn't threaten me? Liars will have their entire family killed!" Wang Teng questioned.
"I …" Cao Guan's face turned from white to black.
He did threaten Wang Teng, but he wasn't so specific!
He didn't ask his father to kill Wang Teng, nor did he ask the Pyrax family to secretly put a bounty on Wang Teng's head. No matter how bold he was, he wouldn't dare to use the Pyrax family as an excuse.
This was all fabricated out of thin air!
Killing without a doubt!
At this moment, there were still many members of the council who hadn't left. They couldn't help but look over and then shake their heads.
Cao Hongtu's idiotic son was clearly no match for Wang Teng!
Assassinating someone in the dark, and actually threatening them in front of the Aristocratic Council? If this wasn't the behavior of a retard, then what was?
Now that Wang Teng had directly brought this matter to the surface, even if the Pyrax family really wanted to make a move, they would have to consider the consequences.
Otherwise, if Wang Teng was assassinated, they would have to bear the blame regardless of whether the Pyrax family was the culprit or not.
If Sinclair knew of Cao Guan's idiotic behavior, he would probably want to kill him on the spot.
Wang Teng didn't pay attention to Cao Guan's ugly expression. He directly called for a Runes flying car and flew into the sky, leaving Cao Guan a handsome back view.
"Bastard!" Cao Guan gritted his teeth.
Returning to Fan Taining's Runemaster's home.
"Master Wang Teng, you're back!" Master Fan Taining immediately came out to welcome Wang Teng. He knew that Wang Teng was heading to the Aristocrat Council. This kind of huge news couldn't be hidden in Empire City. Soon, the news spread everywhere.
"Are you okay?" He asked with some worry.
He knew that the matter of Baron Nangong's title was full of tricks. There were probably many families involved. Otherwise, Cao Hongtu wouldn't have been able to temporarily take over the title. After all, Baron Nangong didn't leave any relevant will before his death. Logically speaking, he wouldn't be able to inherit the title.
"It's nothing. Everything went smoothly." Wang Teng said casually, as if nothing dangerous had happened at the Noble Council meeting.
Master Fan Taining couldn't help but be surprised. The matter of inheriting a title was never peaceful, but Wang Teng said it so casually. Could it be that he had some sort of trump card?
"Master Wang Teng, are you really Baron Nangong's successor?" He brought Wang Teng into the house and couldn't help but ask.
"Indeed. I think this news will spread very quickly." Wang Teng nodded.
"Then you have to be careful of Domain Lord Cao Hongtu's family. I heard that Domain Lord Cao Hongtu is a vengeful person." Master Fan Taining looked around and said in a low voice.
