Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1674 - 536: Conferral of Honors (Part 2)

Long Ying holds himself with immense pride and rarely initiates greetings to anyone else.

Mia’s expression revealed a hint of astonishment too—was Su Ming truly this well-liked?

Suddenly, a ceremonial soldier bellowed out at that instant.

"Kingdom of Shabask·Lord Omid, Prince Shadler has arrived!"

As the announcement concluded, Omid and Shadler descended from their vehicle.

"Lord Omid."

…

Numerous council members rushed over promptly, warmly trading greetings.

Ferion and the rest exchanged glances before chorusing together.

"The tycoon has arrived."

Observing the spectacle, Su Ming inquired with curiosity.

"Does anyone know how these tycoons are ranked?"

"I know, if we only consider wealth without other factors. The richest is the Morris Family, second is the Shabask Kingdom, and third is the Shenji Family."

Long Ying responded to Su Ming with a grin.

"Understood."

Su Ming gave a slight nod.

Shadler scanned the area at that point, quickly noticing Su Ming and Su Yuan, then dashed over in excitement, yelling.

"Su Ming, Su Yuan!"

"Is it okay for you to run over like this? Lord Omid is introducing you to people, isn’t he?"

Su Ming questioned smilingly.

"It’s okay, let me catch my breath, with so many people around, I feel suffocated."

Shadler exhaled deeply as he spoke.

"Alright then!"

Su Ming answered with a smile.

Right then, murmurs erupted from afar once more; Su Ming and his companions looked that way, spotting several ultra-luxurious hovercars pulling up at the square’s perimeter, followed by doors swinging open.

Mokduo, Tai Falu, Jyenis, along with fellow clan heads and their kin, alighted from the vehicles.

Vice Chairman Long Chen, Vice Chairman Farren, and Vice Chairman Alicia advanced to welcome Mokduo and the group.

Gathering in a cluster, they beamed amiably while swapping courtesies.

"Su Ming, Miss Xilis has also come."

Su Yuan informed Su Ming with thrill.

"I know."

Su Ming answered, feeling a bit of a headache.

Just then, Xilis, Olissa, Helena, and Vivian approached together, waving toward Su Ming and hailing him.

"Su Ming!"

"You are here."

Su Ming greeted them smilingly.

"Miss Xilis, I am Su Yuan! Do you still remember me? We have had a meal together."

Su Yuan stated eagerly.

"Hello Mr. Su Yuan, well Su Ming what have you been busy with recently? I haven’t seen you at all."

Xilis replied courteously to Su Yuan before softly inquiring.

"Yes, I messaged you, but you didn’t reply, how annoying!"

Helena chuckled as she remarked.

"Uh, I’ve been quite busy with official duties lately."

Su Ming clarified to Xilis and the others.

Mia, standing nearby, was stunned seeing all these stunning women encircling Su Ming!

This kid was actually so favored by beauties? What’s the deal?

Su Yuan watched Xilis and company ribbing Su Ming, then elbowed him lightly, murmuring close to his ear.

"This is too much, so many beauties and you have them all."

"Don’t talk nonsense."

Su Ming’s lips twitched faintly as he shot Su Yuan an irritated glare.

Now, crisp footsteps echoed around them, causing the bustling square to fall silent abruptly.

All present whipped their heads around to gaze.

Commander Alekde, Commander Soraya, General Gabres, General Sigurd, General Angulat, General Helagar, Admiral Hayes, and Admiral Shari marched in with imposing grandeur.

The reporters on site buzzed with fervor, delivering live coverage enthusiastically.

"Everyone, look, the two commanders of the Federation and five generals are attending this grand event, it’s a very rare occurrence in history....."

…

Long Chen, Farren, Mokduo, and others strode ahead then, greeting Alekde and company.

This assembly essentially embodied the Federation Military Department.

Su Ming took a look and voiced his surprise.

"Strange, why are there only five generals here, it’s normal that Admiral Kabunofa didn’t come as he has to guard the Council Chairman, but why didn’t the second general come?"

"Ahem, Su Ming! Federation generals aren’t ranked. They all have the same authority, just some with older qualifications need more courtesy."

Ferion hastily set Su Ming straight.

"Ah? No ranking?"

Su Ming blinked in shock and probed further.

"Those rankings are unofficial, don’t mention them in public, it’s very awkward otherwise!"

"Alright."

"But that ranking is not wrong because everyone privately ranks according to strength. As for the general who didn’t come, they probably have a mission."

Ferion held back from elaborating further amid the crowd.

"Got it!"

Su Ming nodded.

Meanwhile, from a square corner, Long Ying grinned at Admiral Xinlad.

"This celebration will publicly elect a general, besides Su Ming, there’s another spot, you have a great opportunity."

"But Lord Long Ying, Mo Xiu has been strong lately."

Admiral Xinlad responded worriedly.

"No worries, you have to have confidence. This time the Dragon Family will fully support you."

Long Ying assured Xinlad with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord!"

A spark of elation lit up in Xinlad’s eyes.

…

Suddenly, the ceremonial officer announced.

"Council Chairman has arrived!"

The clamor hushed instantly as all eyes turned that direction.

Long Bai appeared in a resplendent purple starry robe, her light purple locks cascading over shoulders, crowned by an ornate Phoenix hairpin; a refined Star Trace Tears necklace graced her pale neck, white lace gloves clad her hands, and escorted by Gakels, she gracefully descended the City Lord Mansion’s aerial staircase.
