Although this news was not widely announced to all citizens, it spread to all the star clusters within the empire at super-light speed, making the aristocracy aware of the existence of Baron Glory - Wang Chen.
Even the top leaders of the alliance obtained the corresponding information and put him on the list of key concerns.
Because every Imperial Glory represents a powerful force!
The day after Wang Chen returned to Holy Light Star, he received a notification from the royal family and had to change his travel plan. Then two days later, he went to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit and participated in the investiture ceremony hosted by His Majesty the Emperor himself.
A hundred years ago, the ceremony for conferring an honorable noble title would have been very grand, but today's procedures have long been modified and become much simpler.
But the solemnity remains!
At the same time, the hundreds of people summoned to the palace to watch the ceremony were all high-ranking people, including the top elites of the empire, including the empire's prime minister, speaker of parliament, military commander, etc.
This investiture ceremony also made Wang Chen really come into the sight of big shots.
Against this background, the shocking news that the once extremely prosperous Wanhai Group was blocked and taken over by the three major bureaus of the empire did not cause the slightest ripples.
Including Wanjia, they also chose to remain silent and did not make trouble, showing themselves to be at the mercy of others.
Because as long as you have some brains, you can understand that His Majesty the Emperor is using Tempus Planet's material embezzlement crime as an entry point, and taking advantage of the heavy losses suffered by the Wan Family's senior management, to attack the Wan Family Conglomerate.
The Holy Light Emperor's will was extremely firm, and he chose the right time to launch his attack, so even the allies of the Wan Family were caught off guard, and the dust had already settled by the time they reacted.
Although the Wan family chaebol will not completely collapse and the Wan Hai Group can still survive, the Wan family's hundreds of years of accumulation will inevitably give up a large part of their flesh and blood to fill the increasingly drying treasury!
A ceremony, different people's hearts.
It's just that as the protagonist, Wang Chen is indifferent to this, and he doesn't even care about the glorious title he just acquired.
After the investiture ceremony, Wang Chen was invited to leave the palace.
This made him somewhat strange.
It feels like His Majesty the Emperor is not willing to talk to me much, and he even seems to be sending off the plague!
"Did you steal my spaceship?"
Before Wang Chen could step out of the palace gate, he was blocked by a pretty little girl.
The other party was about ten years old, very cute and beautiful, wearing a rather luxurious princess dress, and a small diamond crown on her head.
No need to guess his identity!
But the princess looked at Wang Chen with wide eyes, her eye circles were red, and she looked like she would cry at any time.
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Your Highness, I didn't steal anything from you."
If I remember correctly, this should be Princess Shiyu.
The apple of His Majesty's eye!
"lie!"
The little princess said angrily: "Father obviously gave you my Starlight, but I haven't even sat on it yet!"
She complained hard, crystal tears welling up in her eyes.
Doesn't anyone care about this?
Wang Chen suddenly had a headache.
But when he looked around, he found that all the royal guards around him were watching, pretending not to notice.
Wang Chen actually doesn't care about a spaceship, even if the Starlight is said to be made by the royal family and is worth tens of billions of stars.
But for no reason, it was impossible for him to give the Starlight to this little princess again.
Why!
"This is simple."
Wang Chen said: "If your Highness wants to sit down, you can come to me and I will give you a seat for free."
The little princess was confused: "Huh?"
From her past experience, as long as she sheds tears like a coquettish girl, she can get whatever she wants.
There are no examples of failure.
But now I met a completely ignorant guy.
She got angry: "I mean you give it back to me!"
"This is not okay."
Wang Chen smiled and took out a lollipop and stuffed it into her hand: "Your Majesty, I can't give your Majesty's reward to anyone else. I'll give you a candy. Eat it slowly."
He touched the little princess's head and left without looking back.
The little princess was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses.
He cried loudly "Wow".
But she still held tightly the lollipop Wang Chen gave her.
This was the first meeting between Wang Chen and Princess Shiyu, and he left an impression like a great devil in the latter's heart!
After leaving the palace, Wang Chen rushed to the royal airport area as soon as possible.
He took over the Starlight cruise ship that already belonged to him.
The size of this cruise ship is not very large. It is equivalent to a small frigate and can carry 120 crew members and 50 passengers at the same time.
It is said to be a cruise ship, but it is actually a yacht.
But its design is extremely advanced. Once the eight ultra-high-energy ion engines it carries are turned on at the same time, it will become the fastest spacecraft. There is currently no one that can match it.
Not only that, the Starlight also has super stealth capabilities and a super strong field defense system. Although it is not a battleship, it is still equipped with one main, two, and three particle cannons.
Although the Starlight's firepower cannot match that of a real frigate, its speed and defense are beyond the reach of the latter, so it is not afraid of any enemy.
The most important thing is that the Starlight can fly automatically with the intervention of artificial intelligence, and it can achieve interstellar navigation without a crew.
After Wang Chen took over the Starlight, it took him five days to become familiar with the basic operations of the spacecraft.
The interior decoration of the Starlight is extremely luxurious. There are seven bathrooms with bathtubs alone. The master bedroom suite is even more staggeringly luxurious, with all kinds of advanced equipment.
In addition, the energy and material reserves of this spacecraft are full, and only the mecha cabin is empty.
But Wang Chen was already very satisfied.
On the third day after completing the first test flight, he drove the super cruise ship to Taiwu Star alone.
Wang Chen originally planned to stay in the Holy Light Star for two or three days and then leave. Unexpectedly, he was delayed by many things and didn't leave until now.
Along the way, he became familiar with the Starlight and learned about all aspects of the situation through the Xinghai network.
Prepare for the next step.
Two days later, Wang Chen successfully arrived at Taiwu Star.
It must be noted that as a royal spaceship, the Starlight enjoys queue-jumping and inspection-free treatment through the Star Gate, so it can reach its destination so quickly.
After parking the Starlight at the berth of the Battlestar, Wang Chen contacted his two girlfriends.
You just got such a big toy, if you don't show it off to your girlfriends, it's like walking at night in fine clothes!
And this super cruise ship did give Tang Mi and Mingmei a big surprise.
