I Am Unstoppable novel

Chapter 407 Declaration Of Loyalty

The core members of vampire leadership were the prince, duke, marquis, and viscount, in descending order of seniority.

There were ten princes in total at present. Other than Solorel, the other princes did not condense divine mana and were sent away to different places to make a life of their own. In other words, those places were considered their personal fiefdoms.

All in all, there were ten princes, four dukes, eight marquises, and thirty-six viscounts.

Solorel had groomed eight marquises and elevated their combat force to phenomenally high levels. Hence, with the eight marquises, Aurora, and Walrion by his side, there was nothing for the prince to worry about.

The only concern he had was Anakin's return from the Lost Ruins.

Of course, that was a story for another time.

At this very moment, everyone had settled down in the meeting room.

Jonathan was seated at the head of the table, for he wielded absolute authority. Initially, he offered Solorel the seat, but the latter turned it down.

Thereafter, everyone took their seats according to their seniority. Those present were Solorel, Aurora, Yeverie, Walrion, and the eight marquises.

All of them were largely familiar faces to each other. At the very least, Jonathan recognized Aurora, Yeverie, Walrion, and four of the marquises.

Still, even though the four marquises knew Jonathan, the history they had with him was anything but pleasant.

Right then, the meeting officially commenced.

Solorel kicked it off with a solemn voice. “Since all of us are on the same side, I'll just cut to the chase. I want all of you to understand that my sentiments are the same as our revered ancestor, Leahra. I don't expect any of you to be filthy rich or wildly successful. My hope for you is that you live a good life.”

Clueless at what Solorel was trying to convey, the crowd gave him a quizzical look.

“Few of you know that the Great Tribulation is already upon us, and Gulden Vampir is going through it now.” After a brief pause, he added, “Now, let me first explain what is the Great Tribulation.”

Thereafter, Solorel related the meaning behind the event.

Jonathan listened intently, as that was the only thing he could do for now. He understood very well why the prince was spending time providing context to everyone. The latter was trying to ensure everyone knew why they had to obey Jonathan. Only then would they be wholly won over.

After elaborating on what the Great Tribulation was, Solorel explained further, “Leahra was our revered ancestor and always had our best interest at heart. She had chosen Mr. Lawson to be our king because only he can help us survive the Great Tribulation. That said, I'm sure all of you are curious as to why only he can do it when his capabilities don't seem particularly impressive, am I right?”

The audience's silence was an implicit acknowledgment of his assumption.
