Chapter 493: Chapter 430: Profession [Judge]! The 1st Vote of the Great Wilderness Council!

Teleporting over fifty thousand people at once is quite a spectacle.

Although the Great Wilderness Plaza is embedded with a small space, it was still very noticeable when the crowded shoulder-to-shoulder scene suddenly turned into a scant few people standing in place.

Many who witnessed this scene realized that the Great Wilderness City might be planning something big.

...

Lava Throne.

Lin Ke sat on it, with his right hand supporting his head and his left hand caressing his Magma Staff.

Below was row after row of seats.

This is the meeting room of the Great Wilderness City, resembling a large auditorium.

This place is newly built.

Previously, many large meetings of the Great Wilderness City were held in the grand hall of the Land of Wonders.

But it wasn’t feasible to keep going there, so one was established here.

This small space was created by Revin, and it has effects like "calmness," "composure," and "seriousness."

As Lin Ke was immersed in his thoughts, one figure after another appeared in the seats.

Once everyone was present, Lin Ke stood up and started to speak.

"This time, I have gathered you all because... there is a traitor within the organization!"

The first sentence shocked everyone.

There’s a traitor in the organization?!

Lin Ke immediately recounted the previous encounter and used optical skills to reconstruct the people he met at the time, including the former minor manager and that suit-clad small leader.

And these two were shockingly sitting in the seats below.

These two sat not far away and were both pale-faced.

"This manager, who bullies under the guise of authority, has a very bad attitude and harms the farmer’s expectations and feelings towards the Great Wilderness. That’s one thing, but he also engages in cronyism by siphoning off the urgent recruitment posts for his close associates..."

"And this leader too, huh, can you really be a leader? What can you lead your subordinates to achieve? Those obviously suspicious people you fail to report, while enjoying the benefits of the Great Wilderness City, you are aligning with the Shadow Organization..."

Lin Ke described with a cold expression, and the two below slumped in their seats.

It’s over, everything is over!

If they had just been like usual, but unfortunately, they revealed their true colors with Lin Ke present!

It’s all over!

"John, you’re not free from responsibility for the people recruited by the City Hall. I can manage you, and you can manage your subordinates, and your subordinates can manage their subordinates... So, reflect upon yourself." Lin Ke did not absolve John of his responsibility since the City Hall was under John’s charge.

"Yes, my lord." John solemnly pounded his chest: "I will rectify the City Hall as soon as I return!"

"Hmm." Lin Ke nodded slightly, then looked towards a female: "Diana, I have a position and role for you, are you interested?"

Diana!

This was the female {secretary} who had been assisting Lin Ke with many tasks. Lin Ke had observed her diligence, attention to detail, and clear background, making her perfect for his plans.

Diana, who was giving a disdainful look at the minor manager and small leader from her seat, immediately stood up upon hearing Lin Ke’s voice: "My lord, I am at your command!"

"Good." Lin Ke’s eyes showed appreciation: "In a few days, I will create a new position called {Judge}, and you will serve as the first Grand Judge of the Great Wilderness City."

"Yes!" Diana immediately replied, her eyes filled with excitement and thrill.

The first Grand Judge!

Diana knew this was Lin Ke’s acknowledgment of her ability, loyalty, and everything else!

"One small step closer to the great Lin Ke..." Diana felt sweet inside, yet her face returned to its usual demeanor, sitting down professionally.

"My lord, what is a Grand Judge?" Lady Heishan inquired softly, her voice echoing throughout the hall.

"A judge is intended to determine and judge whether an individual’s behavior is lawful according to the law... Law, the Great Wilderness City needs various kinds of laws to regulate people’s behavior, enabling the citizens to live better lives..."

Lin Ke explained the significance of law slowly.

In fact, the Great Wilderness City already had laws before, but their actual significance wasn’t highlighted, and many were disorganized, lacking a system.

Now, Lin Ke needed Diana to create a comprehensive legal system for the Great Wilderness City to regulate behavior, especially that of officials.

"Besides, the oversight system will begin implementation tomorrow." Lin Ke’s expression was icy.

Everyone felt a tightness within.

The oversight system had been mentioned before by Lin Ke!

For instance, the Inspection Department, Accounting Department, and Investigation Department!

The Inspection Department monitors officials for corruption, embezzlement, bribery, etc.

The Accounting Department audits companies, commerce, and funds, covering but not limited to officials.

The Investigation Department handles criminal, civil, and military investigations, combining the three.

The establishment of these three departments requires timing; otherwise, it would feel intrusive and restraining.

At this moment, it is the ideal time to propose it.

"Now, everyone raise your hands to vote... The Great Wilderness City isn’t just my Great Wilderness City; it is everyone’s Great Wilderness City."

With these words, Lin Ke turned and disappeared outside the room.

After he left, John stood up and stomped forcefully.

Suddenly, the seats in the meeting room began to shift, forming several circles.

"Now, the Great Wilderness Council will commence voting!"

John stood in the center, surveying the room: "Please adhere to your conscience, discard interests and desires, and use your rationality and reason on this vote to fulfill your sacred duty and mission!"

John’s words carried an aria, filled with solemnity and reverence.

Everyone’s demeanor stiffened suddenly.

This is the first time!

The first time voting!

Everyone has the right to vote!

This is... this is them taking charge for themselves, voting for the development of the Great Wilderness City.

"As for you two... scram." John looked at the minor manager and small leader and waved a hand.

Their figures disappeared from the meeting room in panic, expelled from the Great Wilderness Tower, possibly facing imprisonment later.

"Ladies and gentlemen, voting will commence in half an hour... the ballot is anonymous, regardless of whether you agree or disagree, and if possible, you can write your thoughts."

John pointed to everyone’s desk, where an Azanen Paper appeared along with a feather pen: "If you do not wish to write, you can also tick or cross, thirty minutes to think it through!"

Everyone felt an enhanced weight in their hearts once again.

No, it was a heightened sanctity!

This is the council?

This is truly the council!

Not like the fake Eternal Freeze Court in the north, but a Great Wilderness City where foundational workers from all branches and followers of Lin Ke have the opportunity to vote, and the opportunity is equal!

"This is... this is not my inherent right; it is the right Lin Ke Duke gave me, secured from among the noble lords..."

A street-level staff member murmured, eliciting the resonance of several others around.

Such a right... is incredibly sacred!
