But if the position of Council Chairman falls to Long Bai, with her talent and strength, he would truly have no chance at all.

“Fifth Brother, you’re right, I’m willing to support you too!”

Long Lan’s expression changed briefly, then he spoke up to express his stance.

Long Chen took a deep breath, looking at Long Ying and Long Lan, and said with some emotion.

“To be honest, I’m not particularly interested in the position itself, but with Father gone, as his eldest son, I should step up and take on this responsibility.”

“Third Brother, we understand!”

“Indeed!”

Long Ying and Long Lan nodded.

“Sigh~ If Long Bai were a man, I wouldn’t even want to compete with her, given her talent. But regardless, she is a woman, and I cannot allow even a slight deviation in the Dragon Family. Historically, we haven’t had women rise to power in the Dragon Family.”

Long Chen said with a serious expression.

“Third Brother is right, this concerns the millennium foundations of the Dragon Family, no amount of caution is excessive. But I’m afraid issues might arise during the election, as Long Bai and the others won’t stand idle!”

Long Ying expressed his concern.

“No worries, right now we have plenty of time for canvassing. As long as we can persuade City Lord Alicia and Farren City Lord to stand with us, we’re bound to win!”

Long Chen said confidently.

“The problem is, both of them are candidates? Will they stand with us?”

Long Lan asked worriedly.

“There’s nothing impossible in this world, and even if we can’t persuade them, as long as we ensure they run independently, we’re assured of victory!”

Long Chen declared decisively.

“Alright!”

Long Ying and Long Lan immediately nodded in agreement.

Starlight City.

Su Ming walked down the street, surrounded by holographic projection ads, all replaced with election campaign videos.

A short-haired, professional-looking, intellectual female host politely interviewed the famous politician Mr. Nanyam.

“Mr. Nanyam, what are your thoughts on this election?”

“The election will yield a new acting Council Chairman, ending the Federation’s top-level vacancy and ushering in a new era. I’m very optimistic about this election.”

“What are your views and evaluations of the participants in this election?”

“The candidates this time are all very outstanding….”

…

Many passersby occasionally paused to watch the election campaign video.

At this moment, a projection ad on a towering building displayed Long Bai’s campaign image.

In the image, she wore a deep blue starry long dress, her light purple hair tied up, adorned with a delicate golden phoenix hairpin, and her face covered by a silver metallic mask, exuding elegance and intellect.

Su Ming couldn’t help but stop and gaze at her virtual campaign image, somewhat entranced.

After a long time, Su Ming sighed with emotion.

“Sigh~ This road is destined to be difficult!”

Then he turned and left.

…

L1 District·Su Family Castle.

Su Ming walked into the castle, along the way maids respectfully greeted him.

“Young Master Su Ming, you’re back.”

Butler Siron greeted respectfully.

“Yes, is Grandpa there?”

Su Ming asked calmly.

“Yes, they’re all in the old master’s study, I’ll take you there.”

Butler Siron promptly led Su Ming toward the study.

Not long after, Su Ming and Siron arrived at the study door, the door slightly ajar. Before entering, they heard a pleading voice from inside.

“Old Master, please save Su Ya, he really knows he’s wrong!”

“Damn it, if knowing wrong were useful, there wouldn’t be a need for death in this world!”

Su Mulong angrily slammed the desk.

Su Ming was a bit surprised, then lightly knocked on the door.

Knock, knock!

“Come in!”

Su Mulong heard the knock and yelled irritably.

Su Zhen Tian and the others looked toward the door, very curious who would come to rile him at this time.

Creaaak~

The door was pushed open.

Su Ming walked in and greeted Su Mulong and the others.

“Grandpa, Grandpa….”

“Su Ming, you’re back, come and sit.”

Seeing Su Ming enter, Su Mulong’s anger dissipated, he raised his hand inviting him over.

Behind Su Ming, Butler Siron quickly moved aside and brought a chair for Su Ming.

Su Ming didn’t stand on ceremony, he sat in the chair.

He noticed the pleading was from a gracefully dressed woman. If he wasn’t mistaken, this woman seemed to be Chen Qingqian, the wife of Su Feng’s second son.

At this moment, Su Feng also looked very troubled, but he dared not say a word.

The study fell silent for a while.

Seeing this, Su Ming asked.

“Grandpa, what happened?”

“That brat Su Ya, wasn’t he serving in the defense forces stationed in Starlight City? When the Mechanical Clan invaded, he was drunk on duty along with other officers! Now the Council is thoroughly investigating the attack, and Su Ya has been arrested and sentenced to death!”

Su Mulong said furiously.

Listening to Su Mulong, Su Ming also felt a bit speechless.

In fact, although the Federation couldn’t stop the Mechanical Clan’s invasion, there were various preventive measures.

That day the security in Starlight City indeed had issues, the defenses were slow to switch, showing clear negligence.

Then Su Feng spoke hesitantly to Su Mulong.

“Father, that brat Su Ya indeed is useless, but we shouldn’t entirely blame him for this. The Third Planet hasn’t suffered such an attack for a hundred years, who would have anticipated this?”
