Most importantly, has this Fourth Progenitor been acknowledged by the Three Great Progenitors? When he established the Night Empire, he completely ignored the other three old Progenitors. Is that really okay?
You should know that in the original storyline, Kojou Akatsuki's establishment of the Night Empire was not that easy. He had to obtain the consent of the Three Great Progenitors, or more precisely, the consent of the First Progenitor. Because the First Progenitor was the leader of the Three Great Progenitors, their main direction was basically determined by the First Progenitor. The Sanctuary Treaty was like this, and the Saint歼 ceremony was also a plan designated by the First Progenitor.
Now that the First Progenitor is dead, and you directly establish the Night Empire without even consulting the First Progenitor, are you really not afraid that the First Progenitor will come looking for trouble?
Everyone is watching to see if this Fourth Empire can withstand the impact of the First Empire.
While people all over the world were waiting to watch the show, on Itogami Island, Wang Xiaoming was sitting in the Artificial Island Management Corporation's conference room.
Wang Xiaoming had announced that he was going to establish the Night Empire, naturally using Itogami Island as the base. So, he naturally had to inform the higher-ups of Itogami Island. After all, this place was built by them. Although they haven't declared their allegiance to him, this "Cain," Wang Xiaoming has already decided to have them work for him!
"The notice I sent out, I think everyone knows about it, right?"
Wang Xiaoming, wearing a pair of non-prescription glasses, sat in the main seat, looking at the Artificial Island Management Corporation executives sitting on both sides of the table with a smile.
You ask why he put on glasses? That's because he wanted to put on a show.
"Yes, we already know."
The Artificial Island Management Corporation executives, sitting in their respective positions, also looked at Wang Xiaoming with smiles. There was no way they couldn't smile. Behind Wang Xiaoming were Aurora and Lamia, talking together. One was the Fourth Progenitor, and the other was the [Ordinary Maid] who killed Vattler. Either of them could kill them all. How could they dare not smile?
"So, regarding the notice I issued, I wonder if you have any opinions? If you have any opinions, you can tell me and let me hear them."
Wang Xiaoming looked left and right. As he turned his head, Leticia and Lamia, standing behind him, very cooperatively turned their heads to look at these executives.
"No, no opinions!"
The people being stared at by the two maids shook their heads together. How could they dare?
They were also very helpless. Although they were said to be the executives of Itogami Island, their combat power was really not very high. The strongest combat power was even Natsuki Minamiya, but where was Natsuki Minamiya now? She was sitting on the side chair, calmly drinking black tea, not getting involved at all. She was joking, would she interfere if she had a problem with her brain? Moreover, was this something she could change by interfering?
"Since everyone has no objections, then from today onwards, Itogami Island's surname is Wang. You understand what I mean, right?"
"Understood, understood."
A group of people nodded repeatedly. As for whether the Japanese government would have any opinions, that was none of their business. If the Japanese government felt that Wang Xiaoming was occupying their territory, then let them say it themselves. After all, they couldn't stop Wang Xiaoming, right?
As for controlling Wang Xiaoming, they expressed: Impossible, it's impossible no matter what. They originally wanted to have someone approach Wang Xiaoming to test him, but what about now? Don't even mention testing him, now they can't even avoid being dogs.
If they didn't act like dogs, they would immediately be kicked out of Itogami Island. Don't even mention raising their status. Wang Xiaoming, this Cain who controlled the Fourth Progenitor, didn't need them at all! There was no need to carry out the Saint歼 plan later on.
"Don't worry, as long as you follow me and work hard, I definitely won't treat you badly. You should be clearer than me about the meaning of establishing the Night Empire."
"Yes, we understand. We are willing to follow behind you and build your Night Empire for you."
"Don't say that. It sounds like you're just working for me."
Wang Xiaoming looked at these people with a smile.
"You are following behind me, not for me, but for our Night Empire, understand? You are also a part of the Night Empire! You are not working hard for me, but for yourselves!"
"Hehe hehe ~ ~ ~"
Everyone laughed happily. As capitalists, they knew what this meant better than anyone else. They had said this to others countless times. As for whether they believed what Wang Xiaoming said, what else could they do besides believe?
"Moreover, I think everyone should know what my true identity is. Miss Minamiya should have told you long ago."
In order to let these workers work for him wholeheartedly, Wang Xiaoming chose to actively "admit" his identity. I'll just say this sentence, whatever you think of has nothing to do with me.
The fact was obvious. After Wang Xiaoming said this, these executives immediately thought of Wang Xiaoming's "true identity" as "Cain," and then their expressions immediately changed. They seemed to be struggling, but after struggling for a while, they were relieved and showed helpless smiles.
Looking at the 'happy' smiles on the faces of these newly joined subordinates, Wang Xiaoming also slowly stood up from his chair.
"Everyone, our empire has only just been established and is full of many enemies. We cannot be careless, but there is no need to panic. You only need to act as usual under my leadership, without pride or impatience, and then sit in your chairs and wait. Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, just advance and retreat with me."
"There are no enemies in front of us!"
Wang Xiaoming's words successfully infected these executives present. Although they had just been threatened by Wang Xiaoming, it had to be said that Wang Xiaoming was able to threaten them, of course, because he had the capital to threaten them. He had his own strong self, three very powerful maids, and the Fourth Progenitor who had just arrived and completely obeyed his orders.
Natsuki Minamiya had told them all about the Feast of the King of the Crimson Grimoire, so they were very clear!
With such a powerful combination, establishing a Night Empire was not a problem at all!
And although they were acting like dogs for Wang Xiaoming, as long as Wang Xiaoming really established the Night Empire, they, these dogs, would also become dogs with lofty status. What was the reason they followed the Itogami family? Wasn't it for power!
Reviving Cain, and then controlling Cain, so that they could become people above people, was their original goal.
But now, "Cain" was right in front of them, and there was also a Fourth Progenitor. Although they couldn't control the two of them, besides them, these dogs were still the executives of the entire Fourth Empire, and they still stood at the top of power!
Therefore, regarding Wang Xiaoming's words, they collectively expressed: It smells so good!
"We are willing to follow Lord Xiaoming!"
All the executives stood up and bowed to Wang Xiaoming to show their allegiance. This time, they were truly expressing their allegiance, for the power they could gain after following Wang Xiaoming, for the status of being above others! They were betting!
The allegiance of the people made Wang Xiaoming very satisfied. Aizen, as a great thinker and philosopher, his famous saying was really useful, especially for the Japanese, who liked chuunibyou very much. The more chuunibyou you were, the more it would suit their taste.
Then, next, was the final scene.
He slowly took off the glasses that he had specially put on for this moment.
"No one stood in the sky from the beginning. Whether it's me or everyone here, even the gods are the same, but the vacancy of this throne in the sky will also come to an end."
Forcefully crushed the glasses with his right hand.
"From today onwards, I will stand above the sky!"
"Yes!!"
The Night Empire belonging to Wang Xiaoming was officially announced to be established!
426. Fourth Empire Ideal Country
The doors of the Artificial Island Management Corporation's conference room opened, and the executives of the Management Corporation came out of the conference room one by one, with excitement and joy on their faces. Their eyes were full of hope, and they left the conference room in a hurry, heading to their respective offices, ready to dedicate themselves to building Wang Xiaoming's Night Empire!
No, it should be said that they were building their Night Empire!
The Fourth Empire has been established, and they will be the pillars of the Fourth Empire. With their new identities, they will possess lofty status and power at this opportune moment! This is what they have always dreamed of!
Inside the meeting room, Wang Xiaoming sat back in his chair, very satisfied with his performance just now. Elegance is timeless, and Aizen is also timeless. When it comes to literary pretension, it really depends on Aizen.
"It's a pity I didn't learn the hair gel technique. It's too difficult to succeed in one try."
To learn from Aizen, one must learn the hair gel technique, but when Wang Xiaoming woke up in the morning, he tried many times, but he could only apply the hair gel to the hair on the top of his head, and the rest couldn't be applied. So, during today's performance, he had to give up the hair gel slicked-back hairstyle and just crush his glasses. After all, if he slowly applied hair gel to his head with both hands, it wouldn't be cool at all.
He clearly possesses the wisdom of Grey Wolf and can quickly create anything, but in the area of hair gel application, he really can't do it. So how exactly did Aizen do it back then?
"Actually, Master, you can let me help you apply it."
Letizia couldn't help but remind him from the side. Wang Xiaoming had been practicing the hair gel technique since he woke up early in the morning, and as the head maid, she naturally knew about it. At the time, she was very puzzled as to what was wrong with Wang Xiaoming, but it turned out that he was performing in front of these artificial management agency executives. It was really bizarre.
"No, Letizia, if I let you help me apply it, it won't have that feeling."
Wang Xiaoming shook his head, indicating that it wouldn't work.
"That feeling? What kind of feeling do you want, Master?"
"It's that kind of special feeling! A feeling that makes people's eyes light up and is full of shock!"
"If that's the case, I don't think it's suitable for you, Master, because your temperament is difficult to change with a hairstyle."
Letizia expressed her disapproval.
"So I gave up. But looking at it now, the performance just now was still okay."
Wang Xiaoming looked at the glasses that he had half-crushed and nodded in satisfaction. The performance just now was still quite good.
"Miss Nangong, what do you think of my performance just now?"
After discarding the glasses, Wang Xiaoming turned his gaze to Nangong Nayue beside him.
Because Wang Xiaoming became the new master of Itogami Island, Nangong Nayue is now also Wang Xiaoming's employee. She went from working for the artificial management agency executives to working for Wang Xiaoming. As for her position, it has also been promoted from the original Itogami Island security supervisor to the security supervisor of the Night Empire.
"I have to say, you are really amazing."
Nangong Nayue put down the black tea in her hand and sat in her chair, looking at Wang Xiaoming.
"You actually convinced those profit-driven guys with just a few words."
"You've already said that those guys are profit-driven, so naturally, you can just give them benefits."
Wang Xiaoming spread his hands and shrugged.
"Facts have proved that they were indeed attracted by the benefits."
"So you just let them believe you so easily?"
"No, Miss Nangong, you've misunderstood something."
Wang Xiaoming folded his hands together, resting his chin on them, and closed his eyes to start brewing his emotions.
"I misunderstood?"
"That's right!"
Wang Xiaoming slowly opened his eyes, his tone as calm as possible.
"I have never once said anything to make them believe me. I did say that I wanted them to follow me, but I didn't want them to believe me and be loyal to me. I even reminded them before they left just now to be careful and not trust anyone. But sadly, there are ultimately not many people who can truly implement this idea. All living beings will believe in someone more superior than themselves. As a result, the trusted person will pursue a being at a higher level to escape this heavy pressure, and the being at a higher level will crave an even higher level and a trustworthy strong person. In this way, all kings are born."
"In this way, all gods are born."
Nangong Nayue stared blankly at the extremely calm Wang Xiaoming. Obviously, she was shocked by what Wang Xiaoming said. She reviewed what Wang Xiaoming had just said to those executives, but the result was that Wang Xiaoming indeed hadn't said anything to make them believe him, but those guys had indeed chosen to believe Wang Xiaoming.
Whether it was for profit or for power, they had indeed chosen to believe Wang Xiaoming. Even Nangong Nayue herself, when Wang Xiaoming announced that he had become the master of Itogami Island and established the Night Empire, had chosen to believe Wang Xiaoming in her heart. Because Wang Xiaoming's previous behavior of abiding by the rules and not affecting ordinary people even made her feel that it would be quite good if Wang Xiaoming ruled Itogami Island. It would be very good for ordinary people.
"You guy, you're really scary."
Nangong Nayue, who was reminded by Wang Xiaoming, couldn't help but feel scared.
"Thank you for the praise."
Wang Xiaoming accepted Nangong Nayue's evaluation with a smile. Aizen's famous saying is indeed full of philosophy. You see, Nangong Nayue has also been fooled, hasn't she?
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. You made me this *** chief, and I have a lot of things to do."
Nangong Nayue stood up from her chair. She didn't want to stay here any longer. In her opinion, Wang Xiaoming was too scary. This isn't a god at all, this is simply a demon who manipulates people's hearts!
"Go and get busy. Remember, if outsiders want to enter, be tough. You are my *** chief, and you will even be upgraded to *** chief in the future."
Amidst Wang Xiaoming's instructions, Nangong Nayue left the meeting room. However, unlike the executives who left the meeting room with joyful faces, Nangong Nayue's face was full of solemnity and fear.
"Young Master Xiaoming, you are really amazing. You fooled all these guys with just a few words."
As soon as Nangong Nayue left, Lamia couldn't help but jump up and lean on the back of Wang Xiaoming's chair.
"Hey, hey, Young Master Xiaoming, are those words you said just now all true? You didn't tell them to believe you or anything."
"Of course. Could I be lying to them? I never said from beginning to end that I wanted them to believe me."
"Then what about us? Young Master Xiaoming doesn't seem to have told us to believe you either. Could it be that Young Master Xiaoming is also lying to us?"
Lamia threw out a mischievous question.
"You little imp!"
Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but laugh and tap her forehead.
"It's true that I didn't tell you to believe me, but I also said that you are our family, and I will take care of you for life."
"Hehe hey ~ ~"
Lamia, who had her forehead tapped, stuck out her tongue and smiled happily.
Seeing Lamia like this, Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but gently stroke her head.
"So-called family is a relationship that transcends trust, isn't it?"
"Yeah, yeah!"
Lamia nodded in agreement, causing Letizia and Lamia next to her to shake their heads and laugh.
As elders, they were naturally very happy with Lamia's closeness to Wang Xiaoming, the master. Of course, in Lamia's opinion, it would be even better if Letizia and Wang Xiaoming were together first.
"Alright, the preparations for the Night Empire have been made. Agulola, next, you can prepare to become the empress."
"Ah? Empress?"
Agulola pointed at herself, somewhat dazed. She had no feelings about being an empress at all. After all, she only became the Fourth Primogenitor last night, woke up this morning, and mastered the power of all the familiars. Then, Wang Xiaoming brought her over, and she didn't even know that Wang Xiaoming was going to establish the Night Empire and make her the empress.
But, how would she know how to be an empress?
"That's right, we've decided that you will be the empress!"
Wang Xiaoming nodded seriously at Agulola.
"But I don't know how to be an empress."
