“Shut up! How dare you plead for him? It’s because of your indulgence that he can neglect his duty. Do you know how many more people in the Federation died because of his foolish actions? His mistakes are being paid for with the lives of many. Have you forgotten that day when we all fought desperately?”
Su Mulong furiously scolded Su Feng.
“Father, you’re right, but he is still my son. Su Xiao is already dead; I can’t just watch him die too.”
Su Feng spoke softly to Su Mulong.
Hearing Su Feng ntion Su Yuan’s father, Su Mulong fell silent for a mont but eventually spoke.
“There’s nothing I can do about this. Soone has to take responsibility for the fall of Starlight City.”
Upon hearing Su Mulong’s words, Su Feng’s expression grew increasingly desolate.
At this mont, Chen Qingqian looked towards Su Ming, tears streaming down her face as she pleaded.
“Nephew Su Ming, please save Su Ya, won’t you? Your military rank is so high, and you’ve made great contributions this ti. They would surely give you face.”
For a mont, everyone turned their eyes to Su Ming.
“Nonsense, how can we let Su Ming get involved in this matter? That would just be dragging him into the mud.”
Su Mulong imdiately reprimanded angrily.
Looking at the scene before him, Su Ming calmly said.
“Auntie, Uncle Su Ya’s cri is not a minor one, and he deserves the death penalty. I can’t save him, or there will be no justice for the sacrifices made by others.”
“Su Ming, please save him. I am willing to give up all my savings to compensate the families of those who sacrificed.”
Chen Qingqian pleaded with Su Ming.
For a mont, Su Ming was also troubled. He needed the support of the Su Family. If he showed no goodwill at all, it would be difficult to discuss. So he reluctantly said.
“Alright, I’ll speak to Vice City Lord Okens and see if we can spare Su Ya’s life. But even if by so miracle he survives, he still must take responsibility for his actions, so he’ll have to spend the rest of his life in prison reflecting and repenting.”
“Alright, as long as he lives.”
Chen Qingqian replied excitedly.
“Okay, stop crying here, now off you go!”
Su Mulong said to Chen Qingqian.
“Yes.”
Chen Qingqian then wiped her tears and left.
At that mont, Su Mulong turned to Su Ming and said.
“Su Ming, why have you suddenly returned? Is sothing the matter?”
“Yes, Grandpa!”
Su Ming didn’t hide anything.
“Speak!”
Su Mulong said calmly.
“It’s like this, the Federation is about to hold elections, Grandpa, can you support Lord Long Bai?”
Su Ming requested of Su Mulong.
As one of the Federation’s seven major arms dealers, the Su Family’s power is considerable, and they can influence many people.
Hearing Su Ming’s words, Su Mulong was montarily stunned, not expecting Su Ming to return for this issue.
However, before Su Mulong could respond, Vice Clan Leader Su Tianhao stood up directly and vehently opposed.
“Father, I believe Su Ming’s request is inappropriate.”
Su Ming looked at Su Tianhao in surprise, not expecting him to oppose the idea directly.
“Why is it inappropriate?”
Su Mulong asked with a tightly furrowed brow.
“Father, apart from your good relationship with Lord Long Chen, let’s consider the current situation. Although Lord Long Bai is powerful, she may not necessarily ascend. Historically, choosing sides is critical; if we choose wrongly, the Su Family would suffer, and we’d be gambling the entire family’s future. Plainly speaking, we should wait to see who wins and support them. If worse cos to worst, we abstain!”
Su Tianhao said to Su Mulong.
Hearing Su Tianhao’s words, Su Yiyang and others all had heavy expressions. In so sense, Su Tianhao wasn’t wrong.
Su Ming didn’t try to persuade or argue because Su Tianhao was correct, it was indeed a gamble.
At this mont, Su Mulong grumbled as he spoke.
“Damn it, am I the kind of person who sways with the wind? Wait to see who wins before supporting? I’ve always believed in Long Bai, she indeed has the ability, and I trust Su Ming’s judgnt, so there’s no need for further discussion, I’ve decided to fully support Long Bai!”
Seeing Su Mulong’s decision, though Su Tianhao and the others were very annoyed, they had no choice.
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
Su Ming sighed in relief and responded.
“No need for thanks within the family, do whatever you wish to do! The Su Family will always be your strong backing!”
Su Mulong said to Su Ming.
“Alright, then I’ll be off.”
Su Ming said to Su Mulong.
“Go!”
Su Mulong nodded.
Su Ming saluted Su Mulong and the others, then turned and left.

Several hours later.
Rain Capital Central Station.
A high-speed train approached from afar and stopped at Platform 1.
Click!
The door opened.
Su Ming stepped off the train, joining the multitude of travelers heading toward the exit.
Although in the City Lord Mansion office at the ti, Ferion suggested he persuade City Lord Alicia, which was a ridiculous suggestion.
But Su Ming thought about it later, if he wanted to help Long Bai win, he really needed to try.
However, just thinking about having to make large demands from Alicia again made his head ache.
He felt quite unreasonable, having extorted a large sum from her in the Tidal Star Sea before, and now here he was again.
“Sigh~”
Su Ming let out a deep sigh,
…..
Soon after, Su Ming appeared at the gates of the City Lord Mansion in Rain Capital.
The entire City Lord Mansion is located in the center of Rain Capital, covering a total area of fifty square kiloters, with a variety of valuable green plants grown inside, like a vibrant forest.
