Gao Wenyuan's lips curled into a sneer. "I have no interest in worldly power. Truth is all I seek."
Those words came from his heart. Even Gao Shiman could find no flaw in them.
The two chatted for a while longer, then Gao Wenyuan left.
Gao Shiman toyed with the silver bracelet, her smile radiant.
"Someone, bring out my treasured red wine."
Before long, Blazing Eye came over wearing sunglasses, looking puzzled.
"Boss, didn't you say we were leaving for Ten Thousand Woods tonight? Why are you drinking now?"
In high spirits, Gao Shiman smiled without answering and stroked Blazing Eye's head as though petting a dog.
Blazing Eye's face reddened slightly, but he inwardly enjoyed it.
"We're not leaving. I'm happy today. Have a drink with me."
Gao Shiman was indeed delighted. She had thought her only option was to flee in disgrace and scrape out a living in Ten Thousand Woods.
Instead, things had taken an unexpected turn for the better. She was now even closer to becoming president!
Once she killed Cunning Rabbit and got her hands on the Nanobomb, with the support of Lord Ten Thousand Woods and Doctor, what did a mere Federation lieutenant general amount to?
The presidency... she would make it hers!!
The next day.
A news story swept through North Mang, and even the entire East Continent Federation.
"Breaking news! Breaking news! The Pioneer from a century ago was actually Black King!!"
In streets and alleys, newsboys ran about waving newspapers and shouting, drawing the attention of many passersby.
The title of Pioneer left the passersby bewildered, but once they heard it had something to do with Black King, many immediately took an interest.
In North Mang, the most talked-about figure was naturally Black King, Head of the Ten Kings! Painter
