Chapter 1197.1: The Big Shot
After reading all this information, Bubtney was baffled. In his opinion, the probability of any of these five people taking the throne was low.
Of course, each of these five people had an increased chance of taking the throne, but we should not forget about the other candidates.
In this battle for the throne, the candidates could be divided into four types. The first type included all those who decided to voluntarily not participate in this battle, a total of 18 people. The second type included salted fish, there were 16 people in total. The third type already consisted only of ambitious, but not particularly strong candidates, there were 10 people in total. The fourth type included not only ambitious, but also those with financial and real strength princes and princesses, there were five of them in total.
First of all, Su Xiao, of course, will pay attention to the fourth type. After all, his main task was related to these people. He had to choose one of the 49 candidates and make him the one who would eventually take the throne.
Su Xiao still had 14 days to observe, so he wasn't in a hurry to make a choice yet.
Walking through the busy streets, Su Xiao quickly arrived at the palace.
As Su Xiao approached the palace, the expressions of the officials who were talking at the palace entrance changed. They obviously couldn't just leave like that, as it would look too strange and disrespectful.
In the eyes of all these officials, Iron Hand was now a messenger of death.
Turning around, the three officials headed for the palace, trying to pretend that nothing had happened.
The king decided to call them all together today, not to discuss matters, but to hold a banquet.
Of course, the essence of this banquet wasn't about food, because the banquet would be attended by the arriving heirs and all the officials who had real power in the capital.
This banquet is clearly going to be very " lively».
When Su Xiao entered the banquet hall of the palace, he realized that there were already more than a hundred people gathered here.
Although there were a large number of people in the hall, none of them should be underestimated. Every single one of those hundred was a big shot. Anyone who did not have real power or outstanding wealth was not eligible to attend this banquet.
In the banquet hall, many long square tables were set up. Elite drinks, various rare fruits, gourmet snacks and so on were placed on them.
The king himself hadn't appeared yet, so the atmosphere in the hall was very lively. Among the many officials, one could also see outstanding businessmen, but even though they were making a lot of money, their status in this hall was not particularly outstanding.
The king decided to invite all these big businessmen mainly because he wanted to let them meet the princes and princesses.
His intentions were quite obvious.
The big businessmen who were able to get an invitation from the king weren't small fry, but in this banquet hall full of important officials, they didn't stand out very much.
As soon as Su Xiao entered the banquet hall, many eyes turned towards him.
— Hey, over here, " a gruff voice suddenly shouted. A person who dared to greet Iron Hand like this couldn't possibly be a minor official. And yes, this person was the commander of the Huslet Kingdom's army, he was the one in charge of the kingdom's military power.
He was dressed all in black and there were several horizontal intersecting scars on his face.
There were two people sitting next to Khuslet. One of them Su Xiao recognized, it was Rowan Harvey, the treasurer of the kingdom, but the other Su Xiao had never seen before.
But according to his hunch, that person was probably Consul Joe Valentine.
In one place, if you add Su Xiao to it, there were four of the king's most trusted people gathered.
Su Xiao stepped forward and walked towards Rowan Harvey and the others. In the past, Rowan Harvey would have shown a hostile attitude, but today it was different.
He didn't need to display that hostile attitude anymore.
— Iron Hand, you left so early last night, but I still couldn't get enough sleep, " Rowan Harvey said. There was a look of weariness on his face that he simply couldn't hide. Finding everything hidden was not so easy.
Su Xiao sat down at the table with the three of them. This square table was the closest to the king's seat. Other than Su Xiao and the three of them, no one else had the right to sit in this place, not even all these princes and princesses.
— Killing isn't easy either. I had to fight Joseph Ke, " Su Xiao replied, changing his previous reserved attitude because the current situation was very special.
As long as the battle for the throne was somewhere in the distant future, Iron Hand and the other three top officials should have minor conflicts between them. Even if they were too obvious and stupid, it didn't matter, as this feigned feud was only needed to maintain the king's safety.
