Chapter 478 - Expanding Feng Li City (1/2)

The two B-tier generals did not stay for long after handing over the badge. The cannons of the Floating City were still aiming at the aircraft after all.

After they left, Qin Feng looked at the badge and sighed quietly.

He had finally reached C-tier and gained the governor position. He was even given the badge without having to go through the C-tier aptitude test.

This time, he finally fulfilled what he had promised Gao Yukang.

“Members of the Fengli Mercenary Troop, we will gather at Niumeng City at once. We are going to arrange a funeral and pay Governor Gao his last respect,” Qin Feng ordered.

Zheng Qian could not hold back her tears when she heard the order. They had waited for this day for too long.

Qin Feng acted swiftly and the funeral was held three days later in Niumeng City.

The city was once again flooded by a few hundred D-tier aptitude users.

From fifty mercenaries of the Fengli troop to the management of the Four Cities as well as representatives from various ancient warrior families, many had attended to pay respect.

Gao Yukang’s body was relatively whole. His perforated chest had been filled and he was dressed in an army suit to cover the lethal wound.

The news of Gao Yukang’s death was only known among the high-ranked officers. Some D-tiers might have been told about the incident, while most E-tiers had heard nothing of it.

The crowd watched in silence as Gao Yukang was being buried.

The attendees were dazzled not by the scale of the event but the host behind it.

Qin Feng walked up the stage after the ceremony. The C-tier governor badge pinned on his chest was eye-catching,

“From today onward, I will succeed the role as the governor of the Four Cities of North Sea under the direct order of Regent Shang Han…”

Qin Feng was only making a simple announcement but everyone under the stage knew that the power distribution in the North Sea had been greatly reshaped.

“He is the successor? How is that possible? A C-tier at this age!?” D-tiers from the Hou family were shocked.

“Who would have thought?” Members from the Tieh family appeared gloomy as well. They glanced at each other and were nervously considering what to do next.

Both the Tieh and Hou families had offended Qin Feng at one point in the past.

They could never forget how the Xue family was being single-handedly dismantled by Qin Feng.

Of course, Qin Feng could not destroy the two righteous ancient warrior families like how he had dealt with the Xue family, which was linked to the Dark Coalition. However, it would be hard for them to fawn the new governor.

In contrast, the Yang family was happy to see the coronation of Qin Feng since they were in a relatively positive relationship with the new governor.

On the other hand, the dukes of the four cities were also discouraged by the announcement and could only smile bitterly. From Gao Yukang to Qin Feng, both were young prodigies that made a name for themselves at such a young age. Even if they could reach C-tier one day in the future, the chances were still razor-thin for them to oust Qin Feng from the governor spot.

Unless something unthinkable were to happen to the governor, just like how Gao Yukang was killed unexpectedly during a mission.

Yet, the successor was not chosen among the four dukes but a more promising outsider.

If something were to happen to Qin Feng, the higher-ups could always find someone else to fill in, like how they had put Qin Feng into Gao Yukang’s position. The chance would never go to the four dukes. Moreover, none of the dukes believed that thunder would strike the same place twice.

What Qin Feng had done was ridiculous and he definitely deserved the appointment. It was destiny calling.

“Governor, this is my contact. I will directly report to you in the future.”
