The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 4702

The young woman meticulously went through a multitude of rules and regulations, her recitation spanning a full hour. James stood resolute in the main hall, while Lothar and the other heads and elders stood in quiet attendance by the side. Eventually, the exhaustive list of rules and regulations came to an end.

“Has Wael not arrived yet?” Lothar inquired as the readings concluded and the ceremony was about to start. However, Wael had not made an appearance, which prompted Lothar to question the situation.

James promptly replied, “Sir Wael went out for cultivation, saying something about inner demons and unresolved issues. He wanted to leave the Tempris House sooner because of that, so he left before the succession ceremony.”

Lothar had no choice but to proceed despite Wael’s absence. “Given the circumstances, let’s proceed with the ceremony without any further delays.”

“Wait a moment,” a voice resonated through the crowd in the main hall. A man stepped forward.

He was none other than Qasim Todd, an elder of the Tactir House.

“Qasim, what are you doing?” Billy scolded immediately. “The ceremony has started. If you have something to share, kindly wait until it’s over.”

Brushing Billy aside, Qasim advanced to the center of the main hall. His gaze shifted across the assembly of heads and esteemed elders before him. With due respect, he began, “Esteemed heads, honorable elders, I contest James’ appointment as the Head of Tempris House.”

Lothar’s expression shifted into a frown. “Qasim, the decision to appoint James as the Head of Tempris House came after careful and thorough deliberation among the elders.”

“I understand that, and I’ll still contest it. I firmly believe he lacks the qualifications for this position.” Qasim gestured toward James. “Sir Lothar, there are matters I need to address with you. However, they should be discussed in private. I’m afraid I can’t bring them up in front of the entire hall.”
