Novel Bin Chapter 650 - Move
"Arrogant brat. Who are you to speak like this in front of His Majesty?" Prince Dilan snapped back from reality after being flabbergasted and his veins bulged in anger, "You are seeking death!"
Emperor Lin creased his brows, clearly he didn\'t expect this young lad to be this brazen and arrogant, "Child, who are you?"
Unlike the first prince, the emperor still talked in a collected manner although he was obviously displeased, too.
This young man speaking that he\'d take over the clan. Who did he think he was? Some sort of supreme being?
"I get it now, why master has not given any of you any inheritance." Jin Rou had seen through them to the utmost and deepest part that not even a soul knew, "You all are incompetent enough not to be thought of my master being given the legacy."
Truth be told, Jin Rou had always thought that his master\'s family might be more deserving than him. After all, he believed that blood is thicker than water. However, upon seeing the souls of these people, he now knew why it was given to him.
Emperor Lin\'s face paled when he heard the word \'master\'. He examined Jin Rou carefully once again and he almost gasped, "You are our ancestor\'s successor?"
Prince Dilan wanted to teach the guy a lesson when he suddenly heard this. He looked at the young man with a new found disbelief.
There was no reason for Jin Rou to keep it, so he admitted it, "Indeed. I am the successor of Feng Lin, your late ancestor who you all failed to protect."
He showed a unique pattern that only laws had the capability of doing so.
The emperor opened his mouth but nothing came out. His expression couldn\'t be painted as it changed from shock, horror and shock again. This was too much for everyone to absorb, thus there was a long time of silence.
Jin Rou had proven that he was really a Universal Law. How could anyone deny this? It\'s not something that could be faked. Jin Rou started walking towards Emperor Lin with indifference and commanded, "Move."
Head Maid Ash wanted to say something. It wasn\'t appropriate to shoo away the emperor from the throne. However, neither of them had the right to complain.
Emperor Lin immediately stood up and gave the seat to Jin Rou, "Your Honor, please."
After which, Jin Rou sat on the throne and crossed his legs in a manner filled with elegance. The emperor pulled back the two stumped princes down the stairs and knelt.
Head Maid Ash was signaled by the emperor too and she understood it right away. She knelt down in front of Jin Rou and didn\'t dare to raise her head. All of them were looking down.
Although the young man wasn\'t a descendant of their clan, the fact was still there that their ancestor had chosen him as the successor and no one could help that. The emperor couldn\'t help but sigh about the words of the young man, perhaps he was right that all of them weren\'t qualified for the inheritance.
"My name is Jin Rou, and I came from a faraway universe." Jin Rou firstly introduced himself, "I am here in this world to deal with some matters, including the power struggle in my master\'s empire."
He paused for a while before resuming, "Truth be told, I actually don\'t want to show myself here and will be happy to watch you all cutting each other\'s throats for your greed and satisfaction from a distance. However, I cannot sit idly by when other predators are already eyeing this empire to devour, and still you all have the guts to fight for power."
His Aunt Lina had briefed him about the current situation of the empire. And his hunch was right, the problem wasn\'t only external, there was also a power struggle happening in the inside.
Emperor Lin lowered his head more. Jin Rou was right, everyone here was fighting for power that they forgot that a looming threat was above them. Maybe for them, they could solve this issue when the problem came.
A bunch of stupid people, for real. No wonder Jin Rou was so mad right now. He might not have a connection with this empire, however his master had built this with his blood and sweat. How could Jin Rou stomach it to fall down because of these stupid and incompetent nobles managing the empire?
The Phoenix Empire was said to be the most ancient and strongest empire of all in the world where other empires and countless kingdoms had to bow down. However, the empire fell from grace and was now being seen as a big pie that they were about to eat.
"Emperor, I want you to gather all the leading officials of the empire. I will be giving an official introduction for all of them to know who I am." Jin Rou said sternly.
"I will do it immediately." The emperor stood up and bowed. He had to act fast so that he couldn\'t earn more ire from the law. From the looks of it, this young man wouldn\'t even hesitate to kill all of them in the clan if it was possible and a necessity to do so!
The two princes followed suit and left the hall. How could they breathe there while Jin Rou was glaring daggers at them? It was better to leave than stay there and die from anxiety.
---
After a few hours, tens of people entered the Imperial Hall. They were suddenly called out by the emperor this late night and wondered what must be the urgent matter to discuss for them to be disturbed at such an hour.
Various families and clans and sects were here. Since it was an official command from the emperor himself, they didn\'t dare not to show up.
"Even the oldest empire ancestors are here?" Everyone was shocked when they saw two old men walking slowly with bars to support themselves.
These two ancestors were known to be the left and right hand man of the late Ancestor Feng Lin, the Universal Law of this empire who protected them for countless generations and eons.
