Chapter 463
The next day, David went to Celia’s house early in the morning.
He had nothing to do in Capital City right now.
After he accompanied Celia for two days, he would prepare to go back to South River Province and then go to Springfield.
He wanted to be there in person to direct everyone to spend money.
Although he was spending a lot of money in many places now and his lavish points were also rising rapidly, it was not enough.
His goal was not 10 thousand lavish points either. After his physique broke through, he would still need to break through his mind power barrier.
Meanwhile, he would still need to continue improving after the breakthroughs.
These all required a lot of lavish points.
David’s sense of urgency also grew after his conversation with Mason.
He had to grow to the point where he could deter and intimidate all forces before Mason passed.
Otherwise, Somerland would be in danger.
At the same time David was with Celia, the Somerland Parliament had convened in Capital City.
Ten members of the Somerland Parliament soon arrived.
The Chief of Staff in Somerland-Mason Stefani.
The Deputy Chief of Staff in Somerland-Abraham Jones, nicknamed God of War, administrated over the local forces and the Special Task Force.
The Deputy Chief of Staff in Somerland – Dirk Schuman, nicknamed God of Military, governed the military department and Falcon.
These three were all guardians in the God Rank.
At the time, they were the highest combat power on the surface of Somerland.
The remaining seven members were all masters that were halfway to the God Rank and were all managing their own affairs.
In addition, 66 provincial cabinet ministers and 16 chief commanders from the military were all watching this meeting live.
Mason sat at the main seat.
“This meeting is being held today because there is an important announcement.
“The Somerland Parliament will increase from ten to eleven members from today onward.”
As soon as Mason said this, the other 9 members sitting there, as well as the 65 provincial cabinet ministers and 16 chief commanders from the military department who were watching the live broadcast, were shocked.
It was because they had not received any news about something as major as adding a new member.
Back then, this was absolutely impossible.
Only Cade, the cabinet minister of South River Province, was calm.
He had heard Lucas mention it a few days ago, so he just felt that this was expected.
Only Mason, Julia, and Lucas knew about David being Silver Face.
Everyone was shocked, but they did not question it.
It was because Mason was the pinnacle of Somerland today.
Although the members of parliament could technically question it, no one was stupid enough to do so.
Now that Mason had announced it, it was already confirmed. D
“But because of the special status of this member, he will not be present at the meeting for the time being. Everyone just needs to be aware about his existence.
“That’ll be the first thing, and now, the second thing.
“Recently, some hidden families and sects have begun to join forces with major families to prepare to come out of hiding.
“I don’t care about these, but there is something that I care about, that is, you must abide by the system of Somerland as long as you are within its territory. If there is a violation, you will be punished according to the seriousness of the crime. If the crime is particularly serious, then don’t blame me for not going easy on you. I will not hesitate to uproot your entire family if I have to.
“I hope you can investigate your partner clearly, when you cooperate with someone. It’ll be better to not cooperate with families and sects with criminal records.
“Now, the magnetic field is still expanding, so I hope everyone will take precautions and protect every inch of our Somerland land, be it external or internal.
“Alright, that’s all I have to say today..
“Anyone who has anything to say can speak now.”
Mason stopped talking after he was done.
Next came the speeches of Deputy Chief of Staff Abraham and Dirk. Basically, they expressed their firm support of Chief of Staff Stefani, and then they reassured that they would maintain the domestic order and promised that they would not let the evil forces damage the stability of society.
The speeches of the other seven members were similar.
The meeting lasted about two hours.
The moment the meeting ended, Falconia received the news.
Adding a new member of parliament was a big deal in Somerland.
No matter where it was, someone who was halfway to the God Rank was already considered a master.
Somerland had now suddenly added a member of parliament who was halfway to the God Rank, but they had not received any news about that at all before this.
This was not a good thing.
The two empires had been fighting openly and secretly for decades, and both sides had deep roots in each other’s intelligence departments.
Today, Somerland included yet another member of parliament.
Would there be another God Rank guardian that came out of nowhere one day?
It made them feel a little shaken that they had fully understood Somerland.
Of course, this member of parliament did not show up.
They felt that this might be a smoke bomb put out by Somerland to purposely confuse them.
Now, Somerland’s stabilizing force, Mason, was on his deathbed, and once he died, Falconia could work with a lot of other forces to share this big cake that was somerland.
Once another God Rank guardian came into play, then there would be more variables.
They still needed to carefully keep an eye on this.
Falconia was the first to receive the news while the other forces also received the news not long after.
In addition to that, many hidden families in Somerland had received the news shortly after as well.
At that time, the underlying forces in Somerland and abroad had started to stir because of David joining the Somerland Parliament.
Everyone was investigating who this new member of parliament in Somerland was.
At the same time, they were also investigating whether Somerland had more hidden masters.
Moreover, Mason’s words also delayed some of the hidden families in Somerland from coming out of hiding.
It was suspected that they would only dare to come out of hiding after Mason had passed.
Mason’s prestige not only deterred people from abroad, but also many hidden families in Somerland. They did not dare to come out of hiding while he was still present.
They had waited until Mason reached the end of his life before they dared to slowly emerge.
At this time, David was still traveling with Celia in Capital City.
He did not know that many forces around the world were investigating him.
If he knew that. Mason had pushed him into the eye of the storm, he probably would not be in the mood to travel anymore.
Mason had no choice either.
Somerland needed something else to catch everyone’s attention..
Otherwise, all eyes would be on him.
Releasing the news of David right now could at least temporarily attract everyone’s attention, and at the same time, he would also have time to prepare the final backstop.
David was just one possibility, and as the supreme ruler of Somerland, he would not bet everything in Somerland on David.
That would be too dangerous.
If he was not careful, he would lose everything.
He needed more backups for Somerland.
This old man, who had dedicated his life to the country of Somerland was still making final preparations for Somerland as he was on his deathbed.
