"Vote?"

Jiang Yi swept a glimpse at Niu Deng before inquiring, "Is there such a rule in the past?"

Niu Deng smiled bitterly as he nodded his head. "Indeed. There was such a rule in the past. Whenever a successor was to inherit the chief position, it would require the other chiefs to vote for him. He could only be promoted when the approval vote surpa.s.sed the dissenting vote."

"Bullsh*t!"

Jiang Yi eyebrow raised as he put down the teacup in his hand heavily. He replied coldly, "There's no voting when I got promoted to my position, right? Does everyone wish to vote as well? Only then can I be promoted?"

"Uh?"

The corner of Chief Ying mouth twitched. A smear of anger flashed past his eyes as he cursed inwardly: You had already killed three chiefs and suppressed Chief Leng with your strength. Was there even a need for a vote? Judging from your personality—if there was anyone who dared to oppose the motion, you will definitely teach that person a lesson…

The other chiefs were also cursing in their heart. However, none of them spoke and had only cast their gaze towards Chief Ying. The intention behind it was very obvious: since you had suggested voting, you have to go on with the next play, right?

"d.a.m.n it!"

When Chief Ying saw everyone staring at him, he turned depressed to the point of wanting to vomit blood. He could only grit his teeth and reply, "Chief Jiang, you have killed Ba Dao, Chief Long, Big Brother Heng, and others. You have already proven your strength. Besides, Niu Deng and the others had also been won over by you. Naturally, there was not a need for everyone to vote anymore. Yang Dong might be formidable, but he did not fight with any of the chiefs before. Let's not talk about whether he is stronger than any of the other chiefs. However, he should at least be accepted by everyone wholeheartedly, right?"

"En?"

Yang Dong's complexion turned immense. Clearly, Chief Ying was trying to say his strength was insufficient to win them over. However, Yang Dong was only in the middle stages of Heaven Monarch Realm. There was indeed some disparity between him and the other chiefs. Even if he was to fight them one on one, he would definitely lose as well.

Jiang Yi waved his hand, signaling Yang Dong to just let things be. He smiled nonchalantly, "Good. We shall just comply with Chief Ying's suggestion. Decide by voting! Everyone can approve, object, or forfeit their votes. I shall be the first to vote. I support Yang Dong promotion! Big Brother Dong, what about you?"

Big Brother Dong had been called out by Jiang Yi. His facial muscles twitched when he saw everyone had locked their vision onto him. Only after a long time did he replied, "I wouldn't support or oppose it. I choose to forfeit my vote."

"Alright!"

Jiang Yi laughed out. "Big Brother Dong is a rather nice person. We should grab a drink together later. How about you, Big Brother Hu?"

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

All the gazes had gone toward Smiling Tiger, and he could no longer put forth a smile. It was especially for the cold eyes of Jiang Yi. It caused him to feel extremely pressured. He gritted his teeth and said, "I also forfeit…"

It was pretty good on how Jiang Yi had picked the first person to make a decision. Big Brother Dong was inarticulate, and he didn't like war. Even if his mind stood at Chief Leng's side, he still wouldn't dare to offend Jiang Yi and Big Sister Bell in this situation. As for Smiling Tiger, he was a two-faced person; and he would never offend anyone in public.

Clang!

There were a lot of people visiting the Hundred Flowers Pavilion today, and all the chief's Heaven Monarch subordinates had come. When both of them had forfeited their votes, it attracted a commotion from countless people immediately. There were a total of eight chiefs. With both of them forfeiting their votes, the remaining wouldn't be forfeiting their votes as well, right?

Killing intent flashed in Jiang Yi's eyes when he heard the clamoring in the surroundings. Suddenly, he slammed on the table and shouted, "What are you making a racket for? Whoever is going to continue making a racket, scram now!"

Immediately, everyone present turned extremely silent. Jiang Yi had a vicious reputation as he was a killer G.o.d.

Chief Leng saw the situation had somewhat turned amiss. If Jiang Yi were to continue suppressing every one of them, all of them would have to forfeit their votes. He coughed softly before replying, "I vote for objection!"

After he spoke, he threw his gloomy gaze towards Chief Ying, Chief Hei, Chief Li, and the others. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yi laughed out, "Good. I like Chief Leng's personality who is very clear with his likes and dislikes. Big Sister Bell had often told me that in the city, she admires no one other than Chief Leng. Alright. Next one… Chief Li, how about you?"

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

All the chiefs' complexions changed. Chief Leng's eyes had also revealed a smear of fear. The menace contained within Jiang Yi's sentence was way too strong. Big Sister Bell admired Chief Leng? Doesn't this mean that Big Sister Bell was preparing to look for Chief Leng for a talk?

The eyes of Chief Li flickered a few rounds as he inhaled in a long breath before replying heavily, "I'm also forfeiting my vote."

Jiang Yi nodded his head slightly, showing that he was extremely satisfied with the reply. When he had swept his gaze over to Chief Hei, Chief Hei didn't wait for Jiang Yi to speak and had already replied, "I forfeit…"

"Hahaha!"

Before Chief Hei had finished his sentence, a burst of loud laughter could be heard echoing from the outside. A commander wearing white battle armor led several soldiers as they walked over in a single file. Before he even came in, he laughed out, "Chief Leng, are you drinking here? You have destroyed my plans. I was about to invite you over for a drink or two tonight. Aren't you too inappreciative?"

Lu Di!

One of the top ten commanders in Sky Thunder City and someone from the Lu Clan.

The complexion of everyone changed. Jiang Yi and Yang Dong glanced at each other, and their eyes were filled with astonishment. Lu Clan's commander had actually shown up openly? Furthermore, he was clearly here to support Chief Leng?

Previously, Jiang Yi had paid a visit to Lu Di before. However, he had only accepted his gift and had only conversed with him with a few sentences. He did not show his att.i.tude towards this at all, and Jiang Yi thought that he would at most send an ambiguous message over even if he weren't going to remain neutral about it. Unexpectedly, he was going to openly support Chief Leng?

All of a sudden, Chief Leng was smiling brightly. He stood up cheerfully and replied, "Big Brother Di, it's all my fault. My fault! Later on, I will definitely visit you to apologize. I still have a 100-year-old aged wine. Let's drink to one's fill later on. How about it?"

"Hahaha!"

Lu Di laughed out loudly. He swept his gaze across everyone, "En… Everyone is here. Seems like all of you are discussing some affairs? Then all of you can continue discussing, I'm just pa.s.sing by. Chief Leng, remember your aged wine later on."

Lu Di turned around and brought his men away with him. Radiance flashed in Chief Hei eyes as he suppressed the remaining half of the sentence before gritting his teeth and said, "I oppose! I oppose Yang Dong's promotion."

Big Sister Bell was indeed terrifying. However, who was Lu Di?

He was one of the top ten commanders within the city. Now that he had openly declared where he stood, Chief Hei could only support Chief Leng if he didn't wish to die. The Lu Clan was the absolute ruler in the White Dragon Archipelago. They could easily adjudicate everyone's life and death. Regardless of how strong Big Sister Bell was, she was still a servant slave. Meanwhile, Lu Di was Lu Clan's descendant.

Jiang Yi, Yang Dong, and Niu Deng's heart turned gloomy suddenly as they sighed faintly. Now that Lu Di had shown up, there was no meaning in continuing the vote. At this moment, it would be useless even if Big Sister Bell had appeared and voted. The moment Lu Di had appeared, they had lost.

Among the eight chiefs, three chose to forfeit with one agreeing and two opposing. The remaining Chief Ying would definitely be voting the opposition as well. Since Jiang Yi had said to vote, he couldn't possibly go back on his words, right?

Today's defeat wouldn't merely affect their morale, but it was also related to whom Bu Jun, Zhang Tianji, Meng Tian, and the others would pledge their allegiance to. Whoever held the advantage, the trio would definitely seek asylum under them. After all, a lot of their experts had been killed. There was no longer a possibility of them being promoted and could only see who they had adhered to.

"Ke-Ke!"

All of a sudden, Chief Leng face was glowing. He stood up and swept his gaze across everyone before locking onto Chief Ying, "Old Ying, how about you? Come, let Chief Jiang hear of it."

Chatter, chatter, chatter!

Blue veins exploded out in Yang Dong's hand, and the cup on his hand had been broken apart.

Now that Chief Leng had become so arrogant, it was as if he had become the host. This was plain humiliation to Jiang Yi. Because of his promotion, it had caused Jiang Yi's reputation to fall, which naturally made him extremely angry.

Jiang Yi didn't speak and had narrowed his eyes. He was at a loss of what to do. Never had he expect Lu Di to be so daring. He would actually appear in this occasion so openly, clearly showing his support for Chief Leng. However, he had only pa.s.sed by and did not do anything. Therefore, it couldn't be counted as violating the clan rules. Even if the Lu Clan had investigated, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him as well.

"Hehe!"

Chief Ying stood up and swept his gaze at Jiang Yi and Yang Dong teasingly. However, at that moment when he was about to open his mouth and cast his vote, a declaration echoed out from the outside, "Big Sister Bell has arrived."

"Uh…"

Just when Chief Ying had opened his mouth, he shut it. Big Sister Bell, who never once attended such occasions, had actually come? Chief Leng, Chief Li, and the others glanced at one another while a smear of mockery was displayed in Chief Leng eyes.

He signaled Chief Ying with his eyes quietly while he transmitted a sentence over. Even if he had to offend Big Sister Bell today, he still had to stop Yang Dong's promotion. Now that Lu Di had expressed where he stood—if Big Sister Bell still dared to use her influence to suppress others, it would be a slap to Lu Di's face. She wouldn't be so daring, would she?
