Originally, Ye Mingfeng had thought that Huang Shangzong, in his fury, would certainly not agree so easily.
But... who could have known? When he saw Huang relent, Huang Shangzong actually responded firmly, "Fine!"
"I can let my personal soldiers remain stationed here, but I need to bring 100 guards with me!"
Normally, a Deputy Speaker-level figure would have around 15 guards. A Speaker might have more, but typically only about 20-25.
After all, in a world where extraordinary power rested with individuals, those reaching Deputy Speaker or Speaker status were likely to be at least Second-Order Cataclysmics in strength.
This level of Cataclysmic was already immune to conventional firearms, so most guards were primarily for handling routine situations and maintaining appearances.
After all, a State Speaker, the Master of an entire state, wielding immense authority, naturally needed to maintain a distance from ordinary people.
