Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 513 - 355: General Assembly and Roll Call (Part 2)
During this time, Wang Zhifan also did not waste his time and energy. When Xiong Tianli wasn’t paying attention, he took out the Tianming Divination Book again and calculated other related content to lay the informational groundwork for his subsequent plans.
As a result, the number of times he used the Tianming Divination Book that day was close to the limit. Even though he had the immunity to all negative status effects brought by his overlord title, he didn’t want to continue overextending himself, as using a tool like the Tianming Divination Book wasn’t a small hidden drain on himself.
Time then passed slowly, and more and more people gradually gathered in this hall on the third floor of the Wind Snow Tower, all summoned from various places by Mr. He to wait until everyone was present for Wang Zhifan, the new leader, to hold a general meeting.
Sect Leader Xiong’s two top disciples also hurried back during this period along with the person who led them out. They hadn’t actually finished touring the entire Tiger Head Town, but since Wang Zhifan, the leader, called them back, they could only obey. After all, their master was here, and they didn’t dare act willfully.
After Wang Zhifan and Xiong Tianli each finished two cups of tea, Mr. He personally checked off the number of people and informed Wang Zhifan that everyone who should be there had arrived, and the meeting could begin.
At this time, there were more than one hundred people standing in the hall, which was still quite spacious. More than half of them were members of the Juyi Sect wearing uniform gray and white attire, now also members of the Wind Snow Tower. Most of them were stewards with relatively decent abilities and ordinary fighters, mainly middle-aged men, but there were also some with no fighting skills, such as cooks and accountants.
Those wearing pure gray servant attire were a batch of servants recently recruited by the Wind Snow Tower, mainly recruited from Tiger Head Town, to do things ordinary members were unwilling to do, such as sweeping the floor and washing clothes.
Seeing Mr. He indicate that everyone was present, Wang Zhifan stood up from his chair, paced in front of the crowd, and then looked at his subordinates, whose eyes were curious or awed as they focused on him, and began his next steps.
"Everyone, I am the new Tower Master of the Wind Snow Tower. You can call me Mr. Wang, or you can call me Mr. Wang."
"Today, I called everyone here for an important matter, and this important matter is greatly related to some of you."
"Now, I will read out some names. Those who hear their names, please come forward. I will explain to you in detail what this is about."
"Huo Huannian, Sun Xiang, Qu E..."
Under the focus of everyone’s gaze in the hall, Wang Zhifan, composed and calm, read out more than ten names one after another. With each name, Mr. He standing by accurately located the person and called them out, having them come to the front, standing between Wang Zhifan and the larger group to wait. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
The first among them to come forward was a seemingly very ordinary, silent young servant in his twenties. He wore a servant’s gray attire and walked forward silently without hesitation upon hearing Wang Zhifan call his name.
The second person was a man in his thirties, a steward from the Juyi Sect. The steward was a low-level leader in the sect, not very prestigious but somewhat known. Therefore, when this man named Sun Xiang heard Wang Zhifan call him out, he showed some doubt but promptly perked up and walked out from the group after receiving a glance from Mr. He.
The third was a young maid responsible for boiling water, with an appearance above average level, but her eyes gave a sleepy and unfocused impression, making her steps appear slightly weak when she walked out from the group.
In short, these individuals called out by Wang Zhifan were all members of the Wind Snow Tower on the surface, with no apparent special connection, prompting those not called out to begin whispering among themselves.
"Isn’t that the one responsible for sweeping the floor? Why did the Sect Leader call him out?"
"Who knows? Maybe it’s because his sweeping didn’t meet the Sect Leader’s standards."
"Steward Sun was called out too; did he recently do something wrong?"
"How could he? We’ve only been here for a few days. What could he have possibly done?"
"Maybe he embezzled some silver from the storeroom, and the new Sect Leader found out..."
"Nonsense, I think the Sect Leader is planning to promote Mr. Sun."
"Even Miss Qu was called out. I don’t understand..."
"What on earth is the Sect Leader planning to do?"
...
Amid the deliberately hushed discussions, not only were ordinary members of the Wind Snow Tower confused about why Wang Zhifan was calling these people out, but even the one person sitting behind Wang Zhifan, Xiong Tianli, sitting against a wall-backed chair, was frowning.
This Sect Leader of the Wuji Sect originally thought Wang Zhifan gathering all the members of the Wind Snow Tower was to say some meaningless and trivial words, yet the manner with which Wang Zhifan acted pointed toward there being something substantial going on, though for the moment he couldn’t discern why Wang Zhifan was calling these individuals out.
The two main disciples of the Wuji Sect standing at one side of the crowd shared a similar sentiment with their master, their eyes continuously shifting between Wang Zhifan and those called out, trying to speculate what Wang Zhifan was attempting to do.
"This Mr. Wang is really strange... He puts on such a grand show just after arriving. I wonder how he plans to wrap this up."
Wu Xun, also the senior disciple of the Wuji Sect, was secretly pondering his thoughts.
In fact, he had always held a quite good opinion of Wang Zhifan, as he had interacted with him early on and personally witnessed Wang Zhifan eliminate thousands of demon sect members for the Wuji Sect, notably taking down multiple experts from the demon sect. Such a young and talented individual couldn’t help but earn his admiration.
However, the ability to manage a sect and personal combat prowess aren’t necessarily directly related. Someone could have immense strength, but the sect they manage might be a chaotic mess, barely held together by personal overwhelming power.
Wu Xun now felt that this super genius, similar in age to himself, tended to run the risk of mismanaging both the Wind Snow Tower and Tiger Head Town, potentially leaving it up to their master to clean up the mess.
Next to him, his junior sister Yang Qingqing shared a similar opinion. Although she had never spoken with Wang Zhifan, she sensed that this person frequently mentioned by their master might face embarrassment today.
From a perspective of interest, she hoped the Wind Snow Tower, supported by their sect, would develop smoothly, but a part of her human nature is inclined toward wanting to see a spectacle.
Thus, amidst the confusion and bewilderment of nearly everyone, and the low murmurs of discussion among many Wind Snow Tower members, Wang Zhifan instructed all those whose names he called to step forward and stand properly, then directly began the high-intensity segment.
First, he walked in front of the young servant he called out first.
"Huo Huannian, male, twenty years old, a local of Tiger Head Town, joined our Wind Snow Tower only two days ago."
As Wang Zhifan’s clear words were heard, the silent and seemingly honest servant suddenly glanced at him with confusion and puzzlement, yet remained silent.
But what was said next caused his expression to change immediately.
"Huo Huannian, have you heard of a demon sect witch... her name is Mo Ji... very skilled at disguising herself as a person of the righteous path, especially as a man... The more I look at you, the more I feel you resemble her greatly..."
While Wang Zhifan spoke, his gaze remained steadily fixed on the ’man’ in front of him, the crowd inside the hall could all feel the new Sect Leader emanating his powerful aura as a master, sealing the unremarkable servant in place.
"Sect Leader... you say he’s a witch in disguise?! How is this possible!"
Standing not far away, Mr. He couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment after hearing this, as he was the one who recruited Huo Huannian in. If what Wang Zhifan said was true, he would indeed feel quite embarrassed.
"Whether it’s true or not, a simple check will reveal!"
Wang Zhifan paid no mind to Mr. He’s astonishment, and at some unknown time, a sharp long knife appeared in his hands, and without hesitation, he thrust it toward the ’man’s’ heart right in front of him!
