The Hooligan in Another World

Chapter 160 House Robbed and House Wiped Out

Lin Feng was also thinking about the matter at hand. Maybe he could have a solid backing if he joined the Magic Guild, but it was too late. The court meeting was coming soon, and this court meeting was also a crucial time for him to seize power. It was impossible for Lin Feng not to participate. This was also an important opportunity for him to control the empire. Moreover, even if he joined the Magic Guild, he would not be able to solve the problem in front of him. It was unrealistic to ask the Magic Guild to risk their lives for him when he had just joined.

Actually, Lin Feng had still underestimated his temptation. He did not know what it meant to be a full attribute mage in the Magic Guild. Not to mention, Lin Feng had already broken through to the realm of a Magic Warlock in a short period of time.

“President Paul, Elders, once I’m done with the matters at hand, I will definitely come to pay you a visit. Also, I would like to ask President and the seniors to keep this a secret.” After speaking, Lin Feng held the robe with both hands and left the Magic Guild, heading towards the Imperial Palace.

Seeing Lin Feng’s back as he left, Bolton sighed. He could not help but feel disappointed.

“Don’t worry, President. He didn’t refuse. He came so early to rank up and his face has always been anxious. Perhaps there really was something that happened.” Elder Li said.

“That’s right. He didn’t refuse. What’s there to sigh about? You guys go about your business. I’ll visit him when I have the time. If we don’t take the initiative, how can I pull him into the Guild? In a while, I’ll go take a look at the duel between him and the Second Prince, haha.” Bolton’s worry dissipated as he got up and left. After all, his granddaughter was still at home.

When Lin Feng arrived at Taihe Palace, the morning court had already started. However, without Lin Feng, the current situation could not be called morning court.

All the civil and military officials were waiting with the Emperor. There wasn’t even a trace of urgency on Muting’s face. This made Shaokang and Magnus extremely angry.

How could Muting Wayne dare to be impatient? His previous arrogance and the dignity of an emperor had long gone since he was tortured by Yun Yi’s shadow guards.

Lin Feng handed his robe to the Golden Scale Guard on duty before entering the Taihe Palace. He bowed slightly to Muting Wayne and arrived at the first seat. Nalan Su had retreated to the second seat two days ago, and the first seat belonged to Lin Feng.

“General Lin, no need to stand on ceremony,” Muting Wayne said hurriedly. Even if he had more courage, he still wouldn’t dare offend this Lord.

“The morning meeting is about to begin.” Under Lin Ke’s signal, the eunuch shouted. In the past two days, the shadow guards and Golden Scale Guards had completely taken control of the palace.

There was no small talk in the court. Muting Wayne stood up and announced all kinds of appointments. Lin Ke became the Firedance Army’s Deputy Commander and the Royal Army’s Deputy Commander. Ying Seventen’s team was assigned to Lante Wayne as guards and Lante was officially in charge of the court affairs.

How could the civil and military officials in the court be fools? How could they not know that the Wayne family was the Royal Family of the Celestial Kingdom, but the family with the most power was the Lin Family. How could they possibly have any objections to the various appointments of the Lin Family? Even Venus Magnus had given up on provoking Lin Feng.

Because he knew that when he exerted his strength, Zhou Tianze, that bastard, would attack him and made it so that he couldn't gain the upper hand at all. And that was because the Lin family didn't have the strength to do so.

Such a situation made Venus Magnus realize that it was useless to deal with Lin Feng in the court. Only in today's duel could Shaokang Wayne kill Lin Feng and change the overall situation.

In Venus Magnus’s mind, Lin Feng was indeed strong, but with the help of Shaokang Wayne’s trump card, killing Lin Feng should not be a problem.

Muting Wayne announced the final battle between the second prince and Lin Feng, hoping that it would be fair.

Just as court was about to end, the Golden Scale Guards of the Lin family, who were in charge of the surveillance of the Golden Lion Army, ran into the Imperial Palace and said, "Report! The Golden Lion Army has given up defending Rhein Border and is heading for the capital at full speed. It has been two days. They can reach within 100 miles of the capital at noon today."

"Good, very good, the border is no longer guarded. Lin Ke will lead the royal guards and General Nalan Su will lead the imperial guards to stop the Golden Lion troops. Pass my order down. No retreat to the border within 15 minutes. Kill them without exception." Lin Feng gave a series of orders with a cold expression.

“Orderlies!!” After the order, he called out the orderlies again.

When Lin Feng said that the Golden Lion Army would be killed if then did not retreat, the expressions of the entire officials changed. The most ugly one was the commander of the Golden Lions, Venus Magnus. He did not expect the Golden Lions would be intercepted before they had even gotten within a hundred li of the capital. The combat power of the Golden Lion Army was definitely not a match for the Imperial Guards and Royal Guards. Originally, he had planned to welcome them after the meeting and bring them into the capital. However, his plan had fallen through.

“Greetings, General.” The two Golden Scale Guards entered the great hall as orderlies.

“Pass down my order. Return to the general’s residence. Tell Commander Lin that all the shadow guards are to disperse into the capital city. Tell him which one of them has ulterior motives, which one of them will be eliminated. Also, send someone to notify Northern Frontier’s General Hilt to be on standby at all times.” Lin Feng raised the Valiant Tinger Seal and it fell into the hands of the orderly.

The swift and decisive orders, as well as the decisive attitude, shocked the court officials. All of them lowered their heads, not daring to look Lin Feng in the eye. Everyone felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, they had not voiced their opposition to Lin Feng these last two days. Otherwise, with a random excuse, their family would have been in trouble.

“Men!” Shouted Zhou Tianze, who was nodding towards Lin Feng.

“Report!” Another Golden Scale Guard entered the great hall.

"Send a message to the Prime Minister's Manor. Ask Ped to lead the Black Demon Group to patrol the streets. We should cooperate with General Lin." After the order, Prime Minister Zhou threw the walnut in his hand to the orderly.

Because without his orders, Ped wouldn’t listen to anyone. He recognized the walnut he played with.

No one had expected such a situation. Wasn't Prime Minister Zhou an opponent of the Lin family? Not to mention helping Lin Feng these two days, he actually sent his family elites to help Lin Feng today.

Lante Wayne’s face was calm, and no one knew what he was thinking! Shaokang Wayne’s face was so gloomy. Venus Magnus’s brows were tightly furrowed. He felt that all his methods had been blocked by his opponent. His only hope was that the Second Prince could kill Lin Feng and turn the tables on him.

Although Lin Feng was very strong now, with the help of that artifact, Venus Magnus was still very confident that Shaokang Wayne could kill Lin Feng.

In addition, Venus Magnus was not afraid of being sabotaged or stopped by others, because he had already communicated with the power backing him. As long as anyone tried to interfere, the power behind him would take action to stop them. Hence, as long as it was in the arena, Lin Feng’s and Shaokang’s lives were up to the two of them.

After giving the order, Lin Feng closed his eyes to rest. The entire imperial court was no more. Zhou Tianze was very satisfied with Lin Feng’s actions. This was the bearing of a high-ranking general. He had no choice but to admit that his two daughters’ vision was truly not ordinary.

Without Lin Feng’s hint, Muting Wayne did not know what to do. However, looking at Lin Feng’s strong stance, he had long since given up on any thoughts of resistance, and was even more resolute. Standing up from his throne, he said to Lante Wayne, “My son, come here.”

Lante Wayne nodded and walked over.

“My son, I am tired and miss your mother. From today onwards, I will retire from my tutelage and pay my respects to the Buddha. The matters of the court will be handed over to you. Remember to respect General Lin’s opinion. The Lin Family is the pillar of the nation.” After speaking, Muting Wayne took Lante to the throne.

All of a sudden, all the people in the court knelt on the ground, except for Lin Feng, Prime Minister Zhou, Venus Magnus, who were the powerful people. Shaokang Wayne did not kneel down, and his eyes were red, showing his anger.

Lin Feng glared at Shaokang and snorted.

Venus Magnus gave Shaokang Wayne a look, and the latter had no choice but to kneel. The two of them knew that if Shaokang did not kneel, Lin Feng might make a move in front of all the civil and military officials. Venus Magnus could not do anything about it, as he was standing on the side of justice.

Although Lante Wayne’s character was weak, that did not mean he did not have the ability to see the big picture. These few days, everything that had happened before his eyes, the surging undercurrents in the dark, let Lante Wayne know of Lin Feng’s power. He stood up and bowed towards Lin Feng, saying, “The stability of the country is still needs General Lin’s help.”

“Crown Prince is too polite, I will do what I need to do. In the future, when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, I believe that the Crown Prince will know how to be a wise ruler. The Crown Prince is a wise ruler, so am I. I also know that the Crown Prince will not disappoint me.” Lin Feng said meaningfully.

No one was a fool, and everyone could understand the meaning behind Lin Feng’s words. If you were a good ruler, then Lin Feng was a good general. If you weren’t a good ruler, then he wouldn’t be a good general either.

“I will definitely be a wise ruler. General, you can rest assured about that.” Lante Wayne’s eyes were very firm. He might not be able to do defeat Lin Feng, but he had confidence in being a wise ruler.

"I still have a battle with the second prince in the afternoon. If there is nothing else, I hope that the officials will come to watch. If the emperor and crown prince have nothing else to do, I will leave." Lin Feng slightly bowed and said.

“General Lin, take care. If there’s nothing else, then withdraw from court.” Lante Wayne was very clear about the general trend of the situation. Lin Feng’s power was already greater than the authority of the empire. If Lin Feng wanted to leave, then he could just dismiss the court. Otherwise, if Lin Ke did not dismiss the court, it would cause Lin Feng to suspect that the discussion was unfavorable to him.

In the past, the officials would chat with each other a little after withdrawing from court. But today, no one dared to whisper to each other. Who knew if Lin Feng would come to exterminate his family because of suspicion? Everyone in the morning court knew that Lin Feng was not a kind person. It would be unjust if his family was confiscated because of whispering.

This wasn’t a joke, nor was it a guess. In this special period of time, Lin Feng would definitely do something like this. When he didn’t have any power, he would cripple Prime Minister Magnus’ son and beat the second prince half to death. Only then would they know that Lin Feng wasn’t someone who was overcautious, especially now that he held power.

Lin Feng was still very satisfied with today’s court assembly. As for the Golden Lion Army’s returning to the capital city today, this was already within his expectations. After all, that was a power that was controlled by the Magnus. In this extraordinary period of time, it was normal for there to be some activity. Lin Feng thought about it and slowly returned to the general’s residence.

In the afternoon, it would be the decisive battle with Shaokang Wayne. Lin Feng knew very well how important this battle was to him, and how much more important it was to Shaokang Wayne. The importance of this battle was too great, and it would affect the development of the situation.
