The council naturally needs no further explanation; the chief speaker, of course, is Mokaka, while the council members are members of the Equality Association who share the same aspirations as Jing, as well as representatives of the various districts' civilians.

The military is currently expanding the fourth legion, while the first three legions are still under the command of Jiang Wuji, Chen Zaikun, Vitinya, and Mokaka.

The choice for the head of the finance department surprised Yun You; surprisingly, Jing chose Aurora, a little girl of only fourteen, with Frost Moon and a trusted member chosen by Jing as her deputy.

However, thinking about it, it's not so strange. The finance department's affairs are heavy, and it's estimated that thousands of documents need to be processed in a day. Apart from Aurora, there really isn't anyone else in the team who could handle it.

So now, not only does Aurora have to manage the various projects of the Huangxing Group, but she also has to help Jing handle financial matters, making her the busiest person on the team.

Of course, she herself enjoys it. To be able to be involved with the highest affairs of Nest City, the "workaholic" hidden inside her wouldn't refuse.

Virtually everyone in the team was promoted and advanced after Jing reached a high position, holding all sorts of enviable power.

Except for Yun You, she alone received nothing.

No legion... no position, and no status, just a small chairperson of the Huangxing Group.

"Do you blame me for this?"

Jing cautiously asked, "Do you blame me for giving you nothing…"

Yun You was slightly stunned, then smiled and shook her head.

"How could I? You know, old man, I never cared about these things."

This is the truth. Yun You never cared about fame and fortune, nor did she fight for these things.

She nourished her soul with iron and blood, driven by revenge. To her, money and power were merely tools to achieve her goal, not worth longing for.

Jing gently nodded. He could see that even at this moment of exhaustion, Yun You's core remained as hard as iron. She would never be seduced by wealth and power.

"It's precisely because of this..."

"That I've left a special 'position' within the Equality Association."

Jing took a badge from his pocket, carved with wheat and stars. It looked much like a military rank badge often used by the military but unlike any rank Yun You recognized.

"This position doesn't have the authority to command troops or the ability to directly command all units."

Jing pointed to the badge and softly explained, "Similarly, within the council, it doesn't have the power to decide outcomes like a speaker does; it can only participate in advice and then have its one vote."

"In the finance department, although it can apply for the highest funding, it still requires the minister's approval."

"But it holds one special power, that is...'the right to educate.'"

"It can educate and discipline anyone within the Equality Association, from ordinary soldiers and grassroots staff to the top commanders of several legions, the finance department minister, the entire council, and even me..."

"It has the legal... unrestricted oversight power, with the duty to maintain the purity of the entire Equality Association. It can unconditionally expel any member who has strayed from their original intent."

"In essence, it's the 'ruler' within the Equality Association, hanging over everyone's head, compelling them to work diligently and maintain honesty and the commitment to fight for the common people."

"When a legion commander betrays, it has the authority to dismiss the commander and take over the legion."

"When the council begins to corrupt, starts oppressing the people like the former Nest City Council, it also has the authority to dissolve the council and organize new elections."

"If corruption in the finance department is severe, it has the authority to conduct a thorough purge, bringing out and eliminating the parasites lurking in the shadows. No one can restrict its actions."

"This is the... unique authority and responsibility it holds."

Yun You was slightly taken aback.

It must be said that the position Jing described, while initially seeming a bit odd, having some power in all areas but not as much as positions like a legion commander or minister...

But given some thought, the actual power hidden in this position is tremendously intimidating.

It can oversee all departments, possessing unique 'enforcement power,' with no upper limit, able to investigate and guide everyone in the Equality Association, including Jing himself...

In necessary times, it can even directly dismantle a legion commander or department head, potentially also dissolve and reorganize the council. It's known that in past eras, only one person could possess this kind of power, the prime minister or president of the entire country.

"And the name of this position is..."

Jing paused slightly, his gaze drifting into the distance, a rare hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

"Commissar."

"Girl, I want you to be my... the commissar of the entire Equality Association."

"An organization with a commissar is the only one that can stand unwaveringly; even when suffering setbacks and hardships, it will never collapse or decay."

"This is my hope for you. In my heart, you're unique; your character also determines you will never bow to evil and darkness, so I am willing to entrust this immensely important position to you, for you to assume it!"

"..." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Yun You was stunned.

She never thought before that she held such important status in Jing's heart.

In fact, her self-positioning has always been simple: an enforcer, a warrior who doesn't need to think, only needing to follow orders and arrangements, just like the name Supreme Heaven's Purification Field gave her—a chess piece.

She never felt she had such great ability, capable of commanding an army, so when she learned that Jing hadn't arranged any military position for her, she wasn't surprised and accepted it as a matter of course.

But indeed, she hadn't expected that Jing's expectations for her were so high, not limited to a legion or a department, but hoping for her to oversee the entirety, becoming the Sword of Damocles hanging over people's heads.

Jing, once vilified by those Nest City conservatives as "lawless Jing," always had a balance in his heart, knowing what should and shouldn't be done, also committed to maintaining the sword of law.

And Yun You is his best executor, whose status and character is irreplaceable.

"Well?"

Jing grinned, passing the badge in his hand to Yun You amid her dazed gaze.

"Political Commissioner Yun, dare to take it on?"

"..."

For a moment, Yun You couldn't snap out of the shock.

Until Jing called out the words "Political Commissioner Yun," she still thought the old man was joking with her.

But at this very moment, facing the sharp silver badge, Yun You finally understood, Jing wasn't joking. He... really meant it.

Yun You didn't know what to say, only ceaselessly observing the badge to suppress the turbulent waves in her heart.

Honestly, the badge belonging to the "commissar" isn't visually appealing. A silver star is suspended high, surrounded by wheat, with two sharp swords within the grains, so sharp as to seem unapproachable, exuding a chilling aura.

Perhaps this is one of the roles of the commissar, after all, it holds judicial power, so the aura of killing cannot be light.

But Yun You felt it genuinely suited her.

Jing has always judged people with precision.

Thus, in the little girl's heart, which had calmed down, a brand new flame suddenly ignited.

It might be insignificant, but it lit up hope.

"I know, girl, you hail from the grassroots, aware of the people's suffering, also knowing in this deformed world, aside from a few, the vast majority live under the threat of oppression and death."

"My life's wish is to completely change all of this."

"But I know, with my power alone, accomplishing such a grand undertaking is unlikely."

"So..."

Jing again extended the badge in his hand a few inches forward, his face still bearing that gentle... yet hopeful smile.

"Are you willing to lend me a hand?"
