Chapter 1492: Chapter 503: Persuasion (Part 5)
In the center of the forest stands a magnificent castle.
The entire castle is built from natural boulders, piercing the sky in a spectacular manner.
At this mont, the guard soldiers at the gate saw Su Ming and imdiately approached with a serious inquiry.
“This is the gate of the City Lord Mansion, unauthorized personnel are prohibited from loitering.”
“I am Admiral Su Ming, specifically here to visit City Lord Alicia. Please announce my presence.”
Su Ming took out his officer card, speaking calmly.
The guard captain imdiately stood upright, saluted Su Ming, and said
“General Su Ming, please wait a mont, we will announce your presence at once.”
“Alright!”
Su Ming nodded slightly in response.
…
Inside the City Lord Mansion office.
Alicia, dressed in a light blue gauze dress, crossing her snow-white long legs, supported her chin with one hand, and browsed through the statistics report in her hand.
The report recorded one na after another, all of whom were her supporters.
Knock, knock!
At this mont, a knock on the door was heard.
Upon hearing the sound, Alicia frowned, put aside the statistics report, and said.
“Co in!”
“Miss.”
Butler Bi Han pushed open the door and stepped in, greeting respectfully.
“Didn’t I say not to disturb unless it is important?”
Alicia looked at Bi Han and said with so displeasure.
“Miss, General Su Ming is here to visit.”
Butler Bi Han stated respectfully.
Upon hearing Bi Han’s words, Alicia imdiately broke into a brilliant smile and said.
“He’s here so quickly, has he co to his senses? Quickly, bring him over.”
“Okay!”
Butler Bi Han respectfully exited.
…
At the City Lord Mansion gate.
Su Ming waited patiently, and at this mont, the external gate of the City Lord Mansion opened.
A luxurious black hovercar drove out and stopped in front of Su Ming. Next, the car door opened, and Butler Bi Han stepped down, greeting respectfully.
“General Su Ming!”
“Butler Bi Han.”
Su Ming replied politely.
“Please get in the car. My lady invites you.”
Bi Han stated respectfully.
“Alright!”
Su Ming then got into the black hovercar.
Soon, the hovercar started, heading toward the inner castle of the City Lord Mansion.
Su Ming observed the various rare plants along the way and suddenly realized that these were not ordinary plants, many of them were rare dicinal herbs. So he asked.
“Butler Bi Han, are many of these plants alien species?”
“General Su Ming, you have a keen eye.”
Bi Han said with a smile.
“I didn’t expect that Rain Capital also excels in cultivation techniques.”
“Sir, I guess you haven’t paid much attention to our Rain Capital before? Actually, apart from military affairs, we excel in everything else. In terms of dicinal planting and production, we are not much behind Vox Biological Group.”
“Hmm.”
Su Ming nodded thoughtfully.
It seems that Rain Capital’s wealth is not as simple as it appears on the surface, but that’s normal since Rain Capital is one of the three cities, it must have extraordinary aspects.
…
Not long after, the black hovercar arrived at the castle gate.
Su Ming opened the car door and got down, facing two rows of fair-skinned, beautiful maids, who greeted him respectfully.
“Welco!”
Facing this arrangent, Su Ming walked past expressionlessly.
“General Su Ming, this way, please!”
Butler Bi Han said respectfully.
“Alright.”
Su Ming nodded and followed Bi Han inside.
Soon, Butler Bi Han led Su Ming to the office.
“Miss, the person has been brought.”
Butler Bi Han said respectfully.
“Bi Han, you may leave now, and ensure no one disturbs us.”
Alicia smiled at Su Ming and instructed.
“Yes!”
Butler Bi Han exited respectfully and closed the door.
Su Ming, sowhat unnerved by Alicia’s gaze, coughed and said.
“City Lord Alicia, I hope my sudden visit didn’t cause any inconvenience.”
“How could it? I’m very glad you ca.”
Alicia blinked and said with a light laugh.
“That’s good.”
Su Ming’s mouth twitched as he replied.
“Don’t be so tense, I won’t bite you, co, have a seat here!”
Alicia patted the chair beside her.
“No need, I’d prefer to stand.”
Su Ming dared not truly sit next to Alicia.
“Haha, you’re good in every way except that you’re too serious. I’m not teasing you anymore, what brings you to ?”
Alicia asked with a smile.
Su Ming straightened his expression and said earnestly.
“I ca this ti hoping City Lord Alicia would withdraw from the election and support Lord Long Bai.”
“Haha, General Su Ming, do you know what you’re saying?”
City Lord Alicia laughed more brightly upon hearing Su Ming’s words, showing no sign of anger.
“Yes.”
Su Ming replied with certainty.
“Let tell you, that position is desired by everyone, and I am no exception. You want to give up the election? If anyone else had said that to , they’d be six feet under by now.”
City Lord Alicia responded with a light laugh.
“City Lord Alicia, you should be quite aware that you stand no chance of winning.”
Su Ming, without any retreat, looked Alicia directly in the eyes and said.
“Alright, assu you’re right. Then why should I support Long Bai? What benefits can you give ? There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world; everything cos with a price.”
Alicia said with a smile.
“City Lord Alicia, let’s not waste ti. You should be more aware than anyone about Lord Long Bai’s capabilities. Whether it was the crisis of the Danube Star Sea or the Tidal Star Sea, all were resolved by Lord Long Bai! Now, the Federation is like a small boat in a storm, ready to be swallowed at any mont. But once Lord Long Bai takes the helm, he will surely lead the Federation out of trouble and provide the strongest protection to Rain Capital—that is the greatest benefit.”
