Taking Office

"He was killed?" one of Li Yulong's men asked after they regrouped.

"Yes! Li Si personally took action and beheaded him with a single sword strike!" another person said.

"You knew he'd die, didn't you? Otherwise, we wouldn't have been so easily purged. I don't understand why you used such methods?" one of Li Yulong's men suddenly asked.

Every word he uttered at the meeting that day was meant to guide that person to kill the Thousand King, but everyone knew that even if he succeeded, he would still be doomed.

They never expected that person would actually go; it was completely unexpected.

"I don't know," Li Yulong denied, and then said nothing more.

The meeting room fell silent again; they knew their chances were slim.

~~~

The month-long election period passed quickly, and Old Wang was elected as the Alliance Chair with an absolute majority.

Ye Wuyou made a rare appearance today and personally presided over the handover ceremony.

After being elected, Old Wang also completed a system achievement, "The Pinnacle of Power," and received an Equipment Enhancement Stone, which made up for his losses.

After the handover was completed, Old Wang went on stage to give a speech, in which he implemented all the policies he had promised during the election.

Furthermore, he added many more Player to the Council, proving the saying that "when one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

Besides these things, he did something that baffled the witnesses: he downplayed the power held by the Alliance Chair and strengthened the power of the Council.

"A person's capacity for thought is limited, and concentrating too much power in one person's hands is not a good thing..."

Old Wang's impassioned speech stunned everyone. They had all prepared to deal with Old Wang purge, but they never expected him to turn the tables on them.

However, after a moment's thought, everyone understood the "deeper meaning" behind it.

"He's admitting defeat!"

In their view, Old Wang's delegation of power to them was an attempt to reconcile with them.

Although this person is very skilled and cunning, his foundation is too shallow. If he doesn't win over the masses, he will find it difficult to move forward!

This was the most genuine thought in everyone's mind; they now looked down on Old Wang on stage.

However, Ye Wuyou watched the other party with great interest, because he knew that Old Wang didn't care about these things at all, so his choice was quite interesting.

Old Wang's inauguration ceremony lasted all day, and countless people got to know the new Alliance Chair on that day.

Normal citizens don't really pay much attention after casting their votes, because whoever comes to power over the years has had almost no impact on them.

Or rather, the influence from above is subtle and gradual, making it difficult for them to clearly perceive it.

But Old Wang and his ilk have no intention of subtle influence; they want to take decisive action, starting with restoring the dignity of Normal to them through the law.

So after Old Wang's inauguration ceremony, he attended his first Alliance Council.

Ye Wuyou's return surprised everyone, as they rarely recalled him attending such meetings.

Every time he attends something, something big is bound to happen. Could something big be happening again this time?

"Hello everyone, I've called you all here today because there are some legal regulations I'd like to implement, and I'd like to discuss them with you!" Old Wang was the last to appear, sitting in the center as he spoke to the crowd.

"Legislation?"

"He thinks he can legislate?"

"Let's hear what he has to say first!"

As soon as Old Wang finished speaking, murmurs arose among the crowd, showing absolutely no respect for the Alliance Chair.

Old Wang wasn't in a hurry. He just watched them quietly, and only continued after the noise in the room had subsided considerably:

"Now that everyone has calmed down, I'll start with the first point, which concerns the buying and selling of human organs."

I believe that the conditions for severely punishing those who coerce others or forcibly sell human organs are not comprehensive enough.

I propose a ban on the sale of human cells, tissues, organs, and remains in any form, and any sale that violates this regulation shall be invalid.

Agree or disagree?

After Old Wang finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. They hadn't expected Old Wang to announce such a law, because in their eyes, it was completely meaningless.

In their view, the people sitting here are unlikely to be involved in the business of buying and selling human organs.

Some of their subordinates might be involved, but such people are definitely not many.

They didn't understand the point of Old Wang announcing such a law; it was truly baffling.

"Gentlemen, do you agree or disagree?" Old Wang asked again.

Upon hearing this, some people slowly cast their votes in agreement; although they didn't quite understand the law, they still chose to agree.

They wanted to see what this person was really up to.

But something unexpected happened. They had assumed no one would object, but they found that quite a few people around them had voted against it.

These people made up nearly one-third of the total population, but because more than two-thirds agreed, the law was still passed.

"I oppose this proposal. People are free. Whether or not to buy or sell organs should be their own decision, not someone else's, not even the law!" one person shouted, standing up in protest.

"People are free? They can't let anyone else make decisions for them?" Old Wang asked with a strange expression.

"Yes! That's why I disagree!" the man continued.

Old Wang looked at him and suddenly smiled, then gestured to Qu Zhihua beside him. Qu Zhihua nodded to indicate that he had received the message and then used Holographic Projection to play a video.

The video shows the company owned by the man who stood up and spoke selling human organs. They claim to help the super-rich acquire human organs to prolong their lives under the guise of voluntariness, and their annual revenue is in the billions.

Four-fifths of the people who sold their organs to them were doing so voluntarily. What's even more terrifying is that his department controlled the Alliance's database, and those people were Normal citizens he found by taking advantage of his position.

"Is this the freedom you're talking about?" Old Wang asked, looking at the man who was completely dumbfounded.

"You're slandering me! I'm going to impeach you! What are you waiting for? Control him!" The man was hysterical, but no one paid him any attention, not even his allies.

Then everyone heard a soft snap of the fingers, and the man immediately clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground, struggling for a moment before dying.

Old Wang didn't even have time to stop him, because it was Ye Wuyou who made the move. At this moment, his face was gloomy, and he said to Li Si beside him:

"Investigate those who voted against this just now. If there's any wrongdoing, confiscate their property and exterminate their entire families!"

"Yes!"

"Wait a minute, I'm going to say the second point now: No one may take another's life without authorization, and the right to carry out the death penalty belongs solely to the courts!"

Of course, the special case of resistance during arrest needs to be discussed in detail.

Who's in favor and who's opposed?

Ye Wuyou asked Old Wang, puzzled, "Why? Shouldn't these scum who harm Human Race die?"

"Yes, but I believe not everyone in his family deserves to die. Perhaps they do, but from now on, only the law has that right, and no one else should have it!" Old Wang said earnestly.

After closing his eyes and thinking for Ye Wuyou, Ye Wuyou suddenly opened them and laughed, "Hahaha, good! Good! Good! I agree!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately glanced at the crowd, and they all immediately agreed, because they knew that if they disagreed, they might not live to see tomorrow.

They were well aware of how terrifying this person was; even if they had never seen him, they had heard of it.

After seeing this, Old Wang and the others exchanged glances and then chatted in the Chat Channel: "Looks like today's going to be much smoother! Should we make a few more?"

"Of course, such an opportunity is too good to miss!"

So they supplemented and perfected all the weak laws in the world, such as Labor Protection Law and Human Rights Law.

Ye Wuyou's eyes grew brighter as he listened. These laws seemed to restrict people's freedom greatly, but he only saw two words in these restrictions: "Respect".

This is respect for life, this is a shackle on those conglomerates. He would be the first to agree to any new law, he would protect this person.

How many years has it been? The Alliance has finally welcomed a qualified Alliance Chair.

He had thought about changing these things before, but he didn't know how or what the root cause was. He never expected that someone would help him achieve this today.

Because of Ye Wuyou, the new law passed smoothly for Old Wang and others.
