Chapter 4761
After a while, one of the guards slammed Fanny on the back while she was distracted. Her
body jolted a few meters backward as she screamed in pain. A couple of guards came at
her and sealed her acupoint to prevent her from using her internal energy before she
could react. 3
Zack was overjoyed when he saw it. He waved his hand and said, "Take her down and
hang her at the city tower to show the public that she had betrayed Her Majesty." 'Yes,
sir!" The guards responded in unison as they accepted the order and tied Fanny up.
"You-" Fanny was furious and shocked. She could see that all the guards around her were
Zack's trusted aides. She felt desperate for her situation.
Fanny stared at Zack, "You will not have a good ending." She was dragged out of the main
hall before she could finish her sentence.
When the officials watched Fanny taken away, the hall fell silent again. Even the sound of
breathing was audible in that silence. The officials exchanged glances, feeling
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtoverwhelmed by what had just occurred. 'It is hard to believe that Fanny would betray Her
Majesty. Serves her right after her motive was exposed by the Great General. Her Majesty
is no longer with us, and since Fanny is captured, who will lead and rule the South Cloud
World?' 1
Zack was happy to see how it all turned out. He smiled and glanced over the main hall.
Then, he said, "Since Her Majesty has sunk deep into the ocean and we don't know if she's
alive or dead, the South Cloud World should not be without a leader. Why don't we discuss
and choose a sage to be the acting Emperor? What do you think about that?"
The main hall erupted in an uproar as the discussion went underway. Zack was right; they
could not be without a ruler. Under Quincy’s rule, the South Cloud World thrived, and its
citizens lived a happy and stable life. The regime would be in chaos without Quincy's
presence. However, Quincy had never married and did not leave any heir. Who would be
next in line to take the throne?
Just as everyone expressed their views, a military official went to the front and looked at
everyone before saying, "Is it necessary to discuss this? Only the Great General is eligible
to be the acting Emperor. The Great General has made numerous contributions to South
Cloud World. When mountain bandits wreaked havoc in Beishan, the Great General
launched an attack and captured the bandits in less than a day. He had also accompanied
Her Majesty in the conquering of the Raksasa Tribe. Who else should take the throne if not
the Great General?'
Then, the military official knelt toward Zack and said, “All hail the Emperor!'
The name of the military official was Oscar O'Conner, Zack's subordinate. He used to be a
soldier. It was Zack who promoted him to be a general. He was an intelligent man. When
Zack accused Fanny of treason, he knew the Great General did it intentionally because he
wanted to become the Emperor. As such, it was his duty as a subordinate to assist Zack in
getting what he wanted.
When Oscar knelt, the other officials looked at each other and quickly followed suit.
'All hail the Emperor!"
All of them were intelligent people. When they saw Oscar had nominated Zack as the
Emperor, they did not want to fall behind, so they quickly followed suit.

The situation turned out to be exactly what Zack had anticipated. He was ecstatic, yet he
simply had a humble expression on his face. "How could I be the Emperor if I am just a
man who knows how to fight? However, since everyone has elected me, I shall fulfill your
request and become Emperor.'
He proceeded carefully toward the throne seat and sat down on it.
A hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes when he sat down. He said," Listen to me. The
most important thing is to assemble our remaining soldiers. And there is another even
more urgent matter on hand."
Oscar and the rest of the officials stared at Zack with respect while waiting for Zack to
give them the orders.
Zack said solemnly, "I received some distressing news while I was on my way back to the
Royal City. The Carter family knew that we had failed to eliminate the pirates. They had
sent Ambrose out to scout for further information.’ 'The Carter family?' An anxious
expression appeared on the officials' faces. Quincy had tried countless times to conquer
the Carter family but had never succeeded.
