Blue Star was exceptionally quiet today.
All the companies and factories were on holiday. Most of the people were at home, preparing to watch the empire's press conference.
Main building, 12th floor's media hall.
All the lights had been turned on. The reporters who were whispering to each other stopped talking when it was almost ten o'clock sharp.
At 9:58, Gu Changqing, who was wearing the old empire ruler's military uniform, entered their sights.
He brought Zhang Hu, Taotie, Wu Rui, and Zhao Feng with him from backstage.
The four of them were all wearing the old empire's Battle Emperors' military uniforms. They stood tall and straight, and they were imposing without being angry.
Gu Changqing and the others sat down near the podium.
The Empire Channel, which was originally broadcasting advertisements around the world, was synchronized with the cameras over at the conference at this moment.
