The fans on the east side of the Sovereign Dominion instantly erupted in cheers.
"Who do you think I am? I am the Imperial Emperor!"
"During the international rescue operation for Liuli a while ago, we all thought the Imperial Emperor was doomed and we couldn't save Liuli. But he created one miracle after another. Who do you think he is? He's the Imperial Emperor."
"Damn it, so what if he wants to change the world? I refuse to believe that with the support of hundreds of millions of Sovereign Dominion fans, the Imperial Emperor Boss can't change the world!"
"A single spark can start a prairie fire. If it can't change things in a year, then try two. If it can't change things in two years, then try five... Even if we can't change the world in our lifetime, there are future generations who will be able to!"
"Individual strength may be insignificant, but as the saying goes, many hands make light work. If we unite, changing the world is a piece of cake!"
"I swear to follow the Imperial Emperor will change the world!"
On the stage.
Looking at the triumphant Su Hang, Lin Ying felt a sudden surge of fear. The probability of Imperial Emperor changing the world was only 1%, infinitely close to zero. But what if the Imperial Emperor really succeeded in changing the world?
How could someone who prioritizes self-interest survive in a world where loyalty reigns supreme?
Su Hang said coldly, " Nurarihyon, you lost."
Lin Ying suddenly shuddered. Imperial Emperor changing the world was something that happened a long time from now, but now Imperial Emperor could change his fate. He would either live a life of shame and infamy or die a life of infamy!
He had to fight for his chance to survive.
"Captain, your determination to change the world just now deeply moved me. I've decided to mend my ways, abandon my evil mindset of prioritizing self-interest, and re-establish my righteous belief in loyalty above all else!"
"I know you can't forgive me for the harm I've caused you, for Imperial Crown, and for the King of Glory's Circle. I'm willing to relinquish all power, demote myself to a regular member of Imperial Crown, and spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins."
"I only beg the captain to be lenient and forgiving, and to give me a chance to reform and return to loyalty to you, considering that I went astray and have just pulled back from the brink."
As she spoke, Lin Ying squeezed out two tears from the corners of her eyes.
Su Hang's bloodshot eyes flashed, and he sneered, "Fine, I'll give you one last chance to pledge your loyalty."
Lin Ying was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "My superb acting skills in shedding tears have indeed fooled the soft-hearted Imperial Emperor." He patted his chest and said, "Captain, I have turned over a new leaf. No matter how you test me, I will be absolutely loyal to you."
Su Hang pulled a brand-new can of sugar-free cola from his pocket, tossed it onto the Imperial Crown playing area, and said calmly, "Have a sip of cola, and not only will I believe in your absolute loyalty, but I'll also forgive and forget about what happened before!"
Overwhelmed with happiness, Lin Ying picked up the sugar-free cola, her face flushed with excitement, "Really, Captain?"
Su Hang nodded expressionlessly. "Really."
"This test of loyalty is too easy."
Lin Ying hooked the pull ring with his left index finger, about to open the seal, but his movement stopped. He Nurarihyon a treacherous and wicked man who had been persecuting and exploiting the King of Glory community, and had done so many heinous things.
It's simply unbelievable that a single sip of cola could erase everything and even regain the Imperial Emperor's trust.
"Is there something wrong with this can of cola?"
Lin Ying's eyes flashed with vigilance. As the chief traitor within the Imperial Crown, he had almost killed the Imperial Emperor. Even if the other party was merciful, they would never let him go.
There's only one truth!
There's poison in the cola.
Drinking cola will cause poisoning and death.
Lin Ying looked up, weighing the can of cola in her hand, her eyes gradually turning cold as she said, "Captain, did you drug this can of cola?"
Su Hang said indifferently, "No."
The more relaxed the Imperial Emperor seemed, the more Lin Ying felt there was poison in the cola can. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Captain, I sincerely repent and confess my sins, and want to swear allegiance to you again. How could you try to harm me?"
Su Hang's bloodshot eyes narrowed slightly. "Do you want to drink or not?"
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Lin Ying's eyes blazed with anger as she threw the cola back. "You poisoned this cola! If I drink even one sip, I'll become a helpless vegetable, even if I don't die!"
Su Hang grabbed the can of cola and said, "You're not drinking it, are you?"
"Right."
Su Hang opened the can of Coke and placed it on the table. "Core members of Imperial Crown, if you drink this can of Coke, I will not only forgive your past betrayals, but I will also believe in your loyalty."
As soon as he finished speaking, Phoenix strode forward, picked up a can of sugar-free cola, and took a big gulp, not tasting it. Silver Dragon and Mountain Lord followed closely behind, followed by Huranlang, Yujingzi, Wangsun, and other core members of the Imperial Crown.
Soon, only one sip of cola remained.
Lin Ying was shocked, thinking, "Don't these guys know that the cola is poisonous?" But soon, he realized that they wanted to gain the Imperial Emperor's trust and swear their loyalty.
Whether or not there's poison in the cola, they'll drink it; in other words, they have the courage to face death!
"I gave you a chance to be loyal." Su Hang picked up the can of cola and took the last sip. "But you doubted and suspected, and chose to betray me. Then I will punish you according to the rules and regulations of the Imperial Crown!"
"There's no poison in the cola." Lin Ying's face turned deathly pale; she was filled with regret. But now was not the time for regret; it was time to see what punishment the Imperial Emperor would impose according to the Imperial Crown Rules and Regulations.
Su Hang said, word by word, "From this moment forward, Emperor 'Imperial Crown will be under the command of Sovereign Dominion. All nine powers of the Imperial Crown Team will belong to Imperial Emperor, the Captain of Sovereign Dominion. Jueying his position Captain of the Imperial Crown!"
Lin Ying's heart was in his throat. If the punishment was just stripping him of his captaincy, he could still accept it.
Su Hang's words were piercing, " Imperial Crown · Jueying betrayed Imperial Crown's original righteous intentions, never truly loyal to the Imperial Emperor, blinded by greed and with inflated ambitions, using Imperial Crown to persecute and exploit the King of Glory's Circle. Every crime is shocking."
"In accordance with the regulations of the Imperial Crown, the punishment of exile from the Imperial Crown is hereby imposed, and the honorary title of core member Wu Horse is permanently revoked and may never be used again!"
"Other legal and criminal issues involving Jueying should be reported to the national public security department for investigation and handling."
Lin Ying's lips turned blue and trembled. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died. With the protection of his status as a member of the Imperial Crown, no matter how indignant the Imperial Crown fans were, they couldn't do anything to him. But losing his status as a member of the Imperial Crown...
At best, he'll become a pariah, hated by everyone; at worst, he could be maimed or even killed by angry, blinded fans of the Imperial Crown.
Not to mention the death threats he just received from Xu Dog · Hanlu.
People will die.
Lin Ying's legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud. He had previously left the team and absconded with the funds before the Emperor annexed the Imperial Emperor Imperial Crown, but now he had to stay in the Imperial Crown and receive the Imperial Emperor's protection, or he would really die.
"Team leader--"
Lin Ying crawled on her knees like a stray dog to the Sovereign Dominion competition area, reached out and tugged at Su Hang's clothes, pleading with tears in her eyes, "I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please don't expel me from the team, please spare my life, okay?"
