Chapter 296 Institutional Reform
The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly serious.
Everyone looked at the old man who was over 80 years old and full of academic aura.
He was old and his back was slightly bent, but there was still a gleam of brilliance in the depths of his cloudy eyes.
Everyone in the Fisher family knew very well that he must have committed some crime, which was why he was brought here by those purgers.
In fact, this was the first time that most family members learned about the existence of the Purgers.
Their emotions are very complicated, and they basically have no good feelings towards those people who have considerable authority, act in secret, and whose main job is to report.
Although many people know that such people exist, in fact, for the Fisher family and the Dawn Order, they should have them.
But out of psychological defense instinct, everyone subconsciously felt uncomfortable just by seeing them.
Scholar Streeter glanced at Byrne, nodded calmly and said, "Long time no see, Byrne. I didn't expect you to age so quickly."
"Haha, if you don't know, you would think you and I are the same age."
Byrne was silent for a moment, took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "We are not only teacher and student, but also pen pals for decades. Mr. Street is a well-known philanthropist and scholar. His character is obvious to all. You are not mistaken."
Christine in the wheelchair shook her head and looked at everyone:
"This Mr. Streeter was once Uncle Byrne's teacher. He has maintained a good relationship with the Fisher family for decades. I think everyone has had some communication with him. Mr. Streeter originally lived in Finn City, but moved to Phipps Port in the southern part of East Coast Province more than 30 years ago."
"Then he began a series of evil acts."
Her tone was calm, as if she didn't think Street's evil behavior was worthy of outrage at all, but just called it evil very objectively.
"Thirty years ago, he founded a secret group composed mainly of illegal extraordinary people, named 'Sage Academic Society'. Most of those extraordinary people are spellcasters, not bloodline knights."
"Their ultimate goal is to create the legendary Philosopher's Stone."
Most people present had no idea what the Philosopher's Stone was.
They looked at each other, but Byrne frowned, thinking of many things deep in his heart.
Christine continued, "During this process, Mr. Street trafficked many people for the ultimate goal of their alchemy, the perfect philosopher's stone."
She paused and said, "By the way, Mr. Street has a psychic-type spellcaster of lower qualitative change who is his colleague and is prone to human trafficking."
Scholar Street suddenly said: "The perfect philosopher's stone does exist."
"We found an ancient parchment scroll that has been around for nearly a thousand years. The author of that parchment scroll is the legendary curator of the Sapphire Ancient Library."
Ancient library?
Everyone was stunned when they heard the name of the ancient library.
The six ancient libraries with a history of tens of thousands of years are all legendary things. They are mysterious organizations whose main purpose is to collect almost all supernatural things, such as "supernatural materials", "mysterious objects", "supernatural heritage", "mysterious creatures" and even "supernatural people" themselves.
It is said that they are a mysterious organization born at the beginning of the civilization of the Krad world. They have a long history, even longer than that of several major churches, and have been passed down from generation to generation until today.
Streeter continued, "The director of the Sapphire Library conducted many experiments thousands of years ago. He was able to confirm the existence of the Philosopher's Stone, but he didn't know how to construct it."
"According to the content revealed in the parchment scroll, the director of the Sapphire Library has been to a world outside of Crade! In another world, he has seen the real and perfect Philosopher's Stone, which is the ultimate goal of alchemy! The most beautiful substance in the world! It can fulfill all the wishes of mortals! It is much more valuable than human life!"
His tone remained as calm as possible, but there was a kind of heat in his eyes!
After hearing this, everyone understood.
Mr. Streeter must have used a lot of living people for experiments, consuming a lot of lives.
It's just that no one thinks he can really create the Philosopher's Stone, something that only exists in legends.
Christine said: "In order to raise funds, Mr. Street and his Sage Academy began to make a lot of money through human trafficking. Over the past few decades, not only have they trafficked a lot of White Sea natives, but also hundreds of East Coast Syat people have been victims!"
Everyone fell silent. Basically no one cared about the trafficking of White Sea natives, but human trafficking of local people was undoubtedly a serious crime!
As the organizer, Street should be publicly executed by the church!
Christine paused and looked at Byrne.
"There are many classmates and friends of Uncle Byrne in that Sage Academic Society."
Although Chris is the nominal head of the family, he is not here.
Everyone looked at Byrne, who actually managed various affairs.
Even if everything is illegal and immoral, as long as he decides not to pursue those people, the matter can be uncovered.
Because he has power on the East Coast.
Byrne took a deep breath and looked at his teacher with disappointment in his eyes.
"Mr. Streeter, even if you are my teacher, I can't let you get away with it."
Slytherin sighed and said:
"Byrne, you just haven't seen the perfect Philosopher's Stone yet. You don't understand its charm. Human life is really meaningless. They can use their lives to achieve its birth, which is already the most wonderful ending."
There was madness in Street's eyes as he looked at Byrne, and suddenly he roared!
"Please let me go. I can't die like this! If I can't refine the perfect Philosopher's Stone, all those people's deaths will be in vain! This cannot happen!"
Byrne shook his head sternly, then ordered two Purgers to take the teacher away, while the old man continued to stare at the sky and yell.
"The Philosopher's Stone, it's what alchemy is all about!"
Byrne couldn't help but think about it subconsciously.
The philosopher's stone.
Is that so-called perfect alchemical tool really that magical?
Christine continued, "There must be many more things that endanger the family or the East Coast. Unfortunately, we are very short of manpower, and we can only investigate a few of them at present."
Christine, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at everyone in the family with a serious expression.
"So I hope to increase the number of purgers."
"In fact, in addition to this, I have a whole package of reform proposals that I want to put to the public for a vote, and I very much hope that it will pass."
After hearing this, everyone finally understood what the main topic of today was.
Several smart people in the family can see clearly that, in fact, Christine's series of actions today were all tacitly approved by Byrne. The old man who has supported the family for many years has long known about the three criminals and is definitely aware of Christine's reforms, so this set of reform plans will basically pass.
Christine came up with a complete set of reform plans, which mainly targeted two aspects, both of which were the shortcomings and weaknesses of the Fisher family after it became a large family.
The first aspect is the organizational structure. Currently, the organizational structures of the Fisher Family and the Dawn Cult are not clear enough. Occasionally, there will be confusion over responsibilities and powers, and even family members can withdraw money directly from the family.
Christine thought that was a very bad situation. She felt that family members could receive dividends regularly every year and should not take money at will.
If family members want to invest family money, they also need to go through an investment review at a family meeting. The profits from the investment cannot be monopolized but must be returned to the family in proportion.
She wrote a lot of details in her proposal, such as the rights and responsibilities that the head of the family and family members should have.
In addition, a strict hierarchy had to be established for the Dawnbreakers and converts. In the structure she designed, all blood recipients were divided into levels one to ten, with level one being the lowest and level ten being the highest.
The treatment and rights that blood recipients of each level of the Dawn Cult can enjoy are different.
The level is mainly determined by "merit", "qualifications" and "the number of steps on the long ladder to godhood". If any mistake is made, the rating will be permanently affected. Of course, the biggest mistake is disrespecting the gods.
According to Christine's design, all the Dawnbreakers and Converts currently do not meet the standard of level ten, and the only one who can meet the standard of level nine is her mother Vanessa.
After becoming a ninth-level member of the Order of Dawn, the head of the Fisher family can grant that person the right to vote in family meetings, but he can choose not to grant it.
Mayor Yager and housekeeper Tio of Finn, who are both excellent in terms of qualifications and merits, and Moore, the leader of the Dagger Brotherhood, are the three of them and are level 8 blood recipients.
Both Ager and Moore helped the cult establish peripheral forces, while Theo had been following the family through thick and thin since the time of Lucius.
People like Archibald, Old Dog, Colin, and Ian are all rated as level seven members, and the captain of the three Purifiers is also at the same level.
There is no doubt that the members at levels seven, eight, nine and three are the backbone of the Dawn Cult.
Inna has a long history, but as a Dawnbreaker, she has always been rather passive and lazy, and the sequence power she has mastered so far is also very low, with the final rating being level six.
The money and dividends from supernatural materials she received every year were only half of what Dawnbreaker Yager received in the same period.
Nowadays, most of the Dawnbreakers and Converts are rated between level three and level six. According to the structure designed by Christine, the first three levels are very easy to be promoted. Basically, one can be successfully promoted after completing one, two or three ordinary tasks, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of new joiners.
As long as one can become a purger responsible for internal investigation, he will be immediately promoted to a level six member. After all, this is a group of "special members".
The second aspect is the reward and punishment system.
Christine divided the reward and punishment system into three groups to discuss. The first group was the main members of the Fisher family, that is, the family members with brands on the back of their hands. She gave them the "Draft Suggestions on the Code of Conduct for the Fisher Family."
The second group of people are the many blood recipients of the Dawn Cult, namely the Dawnbreakers and Converts. Christine quoted many contents from the doctrines set by Irene and wrote a "detailed draft of suggestions for the precepts, rewards, and punishments of the blood recipients."
In addition to this, the third part is for those followers and small families who are not members of the Dawn Order, but only serve the family. It provides the "Draft of the East Coast Code".
These three parts are very large and involve a lot of content, so Christine did not finish writing them completely. She just set the tone and structure, and all the rules and regulations still need to be completed and approved by the entire Fisher family.
People began to circulate what Christine had spent years writing, and they finally understood deep down that her reputation of being "calculating" really fits her.
Suddenly, Darren, looking at the documents in his hand, asked a question.
"Christine, according to the 'Draft of the East Coast Code Proposal' you wrote...from now on, we must also put an end to the trafficking of indigenous people on the East Coast."
Christine didn't answer, but turned to look at Byrne.
Darren then looked at his father.
"Yes, I hope so. In the future, even the natives of the White Sea should not be freely sold in the East Coast Province. After all, the natives of the White Sea are now part of our peripheral forces."
Byrne took a deep breath and looked at everyone in the Fisher family with a determined gaze. He knew deep down that he could finally remove the remnants of that cancerous system from the East Coast.
"Slaves will no longer exist on the East Coast from now on!"
