Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 745 - 375 Crown of Silence (6-in-1)_7

"It’s ten minutes to twelve. If my father hasn’t come out by then, it means he’s done for! I will act on his behalf and strike the bell to announce that I will temporarily take over the administrative power of the Sabakex Kingdom! You must support me."

"No problem, but I don’t think the Third Prince will agree."

Theobert Prince reminded.

"I know, if he doesn’t know his place, then don’t blame me for being rude."

Solerka raised his head and looked toward the Federation Envoy Group.

At this moment, Third Prince Merit also intuitively looked towards Solerka; their eyes met, filled with tension.

The Federation Envoy Team was restless, with Okens constantly checking his wristband, growing increasingly anxious.

Time quickly slipped away, and before they knew it, there were only 3 minutes left until 12 o’clock.

"No, time is running out! Shatake Sovereign seems to be really done for, we must prepare for the worst!"

Commander Alekde took a deep breath and said with a grim tone.

General Taite and others felt their hearts rise to their throats.

The atmosphere on the scene grew heavier, with tension mounting.

Just as everyone assumed the Sovereign wouldn’t appear, suddenly Chief Adviser Banat shouted loudly.

"His Majesty is here!"

In an instant, the entire great hall was in an uproar, with everyone turning their heads to look.

A man, dressed in a luxurious starry robe, with a head of white hair, a thin frame, and skin lined like ravines, with eyes like a deep cold pool, walked out energetically, revealing a dignified presence.

"Haha, apologies, dear guests. I’m late, and haven’t been very welcoming!"

"Sovereign, no need for politeness."

Everyone responded enthusiastically.

Upon seeing this scene, Okens and others breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the Dark Star Empire, Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, Eldest Prince, and Third Prince, their expressions were less pleasant.

They could not fathom why, when Shatake was supposed to be failing, he suddenly seemed so spirited.

"Everyone, the auspicious time is near, allow me to ring the bell first."

Shatake Sovereign said steadily, then walked outside.

Everyone followed along.

Shatake Sovereign walked out of the great hall, arriving at the four corner platform.

He ascended step by step, eventually reaching the ancient bell.

Checking the time on his wristband, when the time reached twelve, he forcefully pushed the striker.

Bang!

The dull bell sound, amplified by the equipment below, instantly resounded throughout the World Eye.

At that moment, within the World Eye, waiting citizens burst into cheers, countless fireworks flew into the sky, exploding mid-air.

After striking the bell, Shatake Sovereign descended the stone platform, turned to face everyone, and said with a smile.

"Please come!"

Upon hearing this, everyone proceeded into the great hall.

Soon, they returned to the hall, where Shatake Sovereign walked directly to the innermost place and sat on the luxurious throne.

All eyes were focused on Shatake Sovereign.

"Haha, today is the centennial celebration of our Shabask Kingdom, and also the day for renewing the Black Nebula Treaty. It is fortunate that friends like you are here to witness this event."

Shatake Sovereign spoke straightforwardly.

Numerous guests present then began to speak.

"Perfect, it’s our honor."

Shatake Sovereign promptly looked towards Vice City Lord Okens, Archbishop Deshier, Prince Theobert, and Jyenis.

"Now then, shall we commence signing the renewal of the Black Nebula Treaty? Do any of you have objections?"

Okens, Archbishop Deshier, Prince Theobert, Jyenis, each had changing expressions; they hadn’t expected Shatake Sovereign to jump directly to the main issue, which was highly unusual.

However, they couldn’t concern themselves too much at the moment; they were here for the treaty, so they all spoke.

"No objections! But how will the treaty be renewed this time?"

"Quite simple, the treaty remains unchanged, the trade tax revenue of the World Eye and the proceeds from the Star Swallower; the Federation will take 20%, Dark Star 10%, Heavenly Revelation 10%, and Saint Joex Star 10%!"

Shatake Sovereign smiled and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Okens relaxed his tense nerves and showed a hint of a smile on his face.

However, Prince Theobert and Archbishop Deshier’s faces were grim.

Then Prince Theobert spoke coldly.

"Shatake Sovereign, it’s been a hundred years, there’s no doubt that much has changed in the world. Perhaps the share agreement needs to change too, why should the Federation always get the largest share?"

"Indeed."

Archbishop Deshier also spoke up.

Shatake Sovereign’s smile instantly vanished upon hearing this, his gaze became sharp and authoritative.

"Are you dissatisfied with my proposal?"

Instantly, everyone present was taken aback.

Prince Theobert and Archbishop Deshier’s faces sank, remaining momentarily silent in rebuttal.

Su Ming looked at Shatake Sovereign with a touch of surprise. This Shatake Sovereign was indeed formidable, daring to speak this way to both Dark Star and Heavenly Revelation.

Then Shatake Sovereign spoke indifferently.

"I have always been fair; there’s only this much cake. If you are unhappy with it, you may protest to the Federation, I believe the Federation would be happy to prove themselves."

Commander Alekde now stood and spoke with a grin.

"The Federation will put up with 20%, do any of you have objections?"

"Such big appetite," Prince Theobert sneered, "Can’t you see if you can swallow it?"

"Then try it, whether you want a one-on-one or gang fight, we’re ready anytime. And you better not see us as mere rookies at home, thinking a small troop could come and boast; you’re not qualified!"
