The incident at the border spread like wildfire across the seven continents. The Ogham family had worked together with the Tarot Card Organization to set up Yao Lie, the principal of the Torch Academy. Nineteen families, including the Ogham family, were demoted and severely punished.
No one knew the exact cause of the incident, but the Ruling of the Five Kings pushed Li Xiang, who had almost been forgotten, into the limelight.
Friends and foes alike were shocked by the contents of the Ruling of the Five Kings, especially the third clause, in which the Five Kings granted Li Xiang the right to create an upper-class family. There was also an unknown quota.
Even the laymen knew what an upper-class family represented. Those who were in the know were even more shocked.
That was a ticket to join the Alliance of Aristocratic Families!
Everyone was guessing what role he played in this incident. What exactly did he do that made the Five Kings not be stingy with their rewards and specially announced it to the Seven Continents in the form of the Five Kings Award?
There were also some people who sensed something strange, but even more people were surprised by the sudden emergence of this young man whose name instantly resounded throughout the seven continents.
Not even Bai Dongxue, who was known as the second King of White, had been so popular.
City 0126, Crimson Moon City, the military headquarters building.
Wang Bo, who had just returned to school for a month, hurried back to Crimson Moon City as soon as he saw the Ruling of the Five Kings.
The remote city, which was originally called a ghost town, had been turned into the absolute center of City 0126 by the Crimson Moon. It was as prosperous as the neighboring cities of City 0127.
It was even on the verge of surpassing them.
In the last ranking competition, Wang Bo had taken advantage of Li Xiang's dark horse effect and made a fortune out of it. Wang Bo had generously invested a large sum of money into the construction of Crimson Moon City.
Usually, when a noble received a large sum of money, they would think about how to fill their own pockets and strengthen their family. Wang Bo had never done anything like that.
Crimson Moon City had risen with the help of Wang Bo's business empire, attracting a large number of vagrants and civilians. The Crimson Moon had gradually become the most powerful force in the area.
Looking down from the roof of the military headquarters, the bright lights and the prosperous night view were refreshing. Wang Bo was filled with emotions as he looked at the metropolis he had built.
He had chosen to give up on the Kuang Tie and join Li Xiang. It had turned out to be the most successful decision he had ever made in his life!
Originally, he thought that Li Xiang and Ming Xu would need to rely on his meager financial resources and family power to slowly rise up. Only after they became players would they be able to repay him. Now, it seemed that they were the ones pulling him forward.
To the place he had never dared to think about before.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Wang Bo looked at his father who was standing in front of the railing facing the wind. Wang Haisheng, who had been stuck as a Level-3 Magician and had left General Xiao's faction, was not doing well in the military.
He had been neutral before, but he still leaned towards the northern Lion Faction that General Shogun and the others belonged to. He had also climbed up the ranks with the help of their resources.
The super aristocratic family of City 0001, the Wang family, was also their main family. However, Wang Haisheng had resolutely rejected the Lion Faction's invitation because of his daughter. Instead, he had joined the Eagle Faction under Lieutenant General Kou Ruhai. The main family was very unhappy and had cut off all contact with them.
This was a higher level game that Wang Bo was not involved in, but he knew that his father had been nervous when he had made this decision.
His sister was still with Bian Hetu at the border, and he had not yet grown up. His father was the only pillar of support in the family.
If he failed, then his clan would be consigned to eternal damnation. The main clan would not lend a helping hand.
But he still had to gamble, for his children and for himself.
And all these chips were on Li Xiang.
In order to stand firmly by Li Xiang's side, he had even taken the initiative to come to City 0126 to be the commander-in-chief. He had been looked down upon by everyone, and he had worked hard to support the rootless Crimson Moon. He had done a series of ridiculous things.
But now, the payoff had finally come. It was so fast that both father and son had yet to recover.
"Father …" Wang Bo's nose twitched as he whispered.
Wang Haisheng's body trembled slightly. In the past six months, it would be a lie to say that he had not hesitated.
If Li Xiang had not reassured him step by step, Wang Haisheng would not have been willing to stay in the muddy waters after his daughter Wang Chongyue's accident. Instead, he would have returned to the main family.
But he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
Wang Haisheng looked at the prosperous night sky and breathed a sigh of relief. He said lightly, "Before the dust settles, we can't relax. If Li Xiang really wants to establish his family's power, the Crimson Moon will be the only choice. No matter what he does in the end, you can't induce him to work for the benefit of the Wang family. There are some people that we can't control. "
"I understand." Wang Bo nodded. After interacting with Li Xiang a few times, he had a deep understanding. This person was amenable to coaxing but not coercion. Even if the two of them had some friction before, after he took the initiative to reconcile, Li Xiang let go of the former grudges.
Otherwise, he would not have been so assured to send waves of people to be settled by him.
Those who tried to control Li Xiang would all die miserably in the end. Wang Bo was confident that no one knew this better than him.
"This matter will be very troublesome in the future. The benefits will also be beyond our imagination. Father's level is not high enough. But from the sudden change in attitude of those old foxes, the second half of the third clause will most likely move the players." Wang Haisheng did not have the qualifications to know about the Aristocratic Alliance, but as an experienced and astute person, he had been receiving greetings from some old foxes who had not contacted him for a long time. He immediately guessed a thing or two.
His choice to come to City 0126 was no different from being demoted. The connections that he had painstakingly built up for decades were basically gone. Now that they suddenly contacted him, it would be strange if there was nothing fishy.
Wang Bo didn't say anything.
The crisp sound of high heels came from behind him.
Two beautiful figures slowly appeared. They were the current head and second head of Crimson Moon in name, Fire Phoenix and Number One.
The two of them disliked each other because of Li Xiang, but they also cooperated seamlessly because of him. In the eyes of outsiders, they were two great beauties, one ice and one fire. They were also the two most powerful women in Crimson Moon.
Both of them had smiles on their faces. When they saw Wang Haisheng, they respectfully curtsied. After all, he was a Level-3 Magician. The respect he deserved couldn't be lacking.
"Miss Fire Phoenix, Miss Number One, I'm sorry to have called you out so late." Wang Haisheng was as enthusiastic as fire. He had vaguely guessed that there might be an ambiguous relationship between the two women and Li Xiang. Naturally, he would not put on airs.
The two women also smiled faintly.
The four of them began to whisper about the Five Kings Award. In the end, the topic was changed to General Shogun by Wang Haisheng.
He casually told them the secrets that he knew. When the three of them heard it, they were incomparably shocked.
In their impression, this was a secret that only the so-called higher-ups could know!
At this moment, when Wang Haisheng casually mentioned it, it was as frightening as the cold wind of the night.
No matter how good they were at politics, the two women were just low-level practitioners who had just become Magic Apprentices. When they came into contact with this kind of secret, they couldn't hide their pale faces.
They knew that when Wang Haisheng said these words, it meant that he didn't treat them as outsiders. At the same time, he was also hinting that now all of them had to stay on Li Xiang's ship.
"Father, are these things true?" Wang Bo sucked in a breath of cold air.
Wang Haisheng nodded slightly, "I don't have many connections. Many of these things are facts and guesses. However, it is undeniable that the Five Kings have the intention to make a move on this group of people. As their biggest opponent, little brother Li Xiang, who was pushed to the front by the Five Kings, is naturally the biggest beneficiary. He is also the biggest thorn in their side! "
"Now, it is not as simple as the personal grudge between little brother Li Xiang and General Shogun. But just General Shogun, as a Brigadier General with real power, has ten large legions under his command, and his wife is from the Nidri family. This is already very terrifying. We have to help little brother Li Xiang prepare countermeasures to deal with these enemies. Otherwise, even if we receive the favor of the Five Kings, we won't be able to enjoy it. Remember the He family, the He family that was defeated by him. If we lose, then all of us will … "
"Die without a burial place."
