Once, I wanted to be a good person

No one knows why He Weidao decided to do this.

However, regardless of the reason, He Weidao's authority and status were still too high, so even though he gave everyone such an unexpected outcome, in the end, the proposal for Fang Ze to become the Vice Chairperson was unanimously passed.

If it were only Fang Ze's promotion, the Commoner Faction could still console themselves with the thought that "Fang Ze might have joined the Commoner Faction." However, the subsequent promotion of Lan Bing to Executive Councilor, the reinstatement of several Bai Family's council members, and the placement of the Si Family's vassals into key departments, even obtaining council member positions, completely shattered their illusions.

"Compromise! This is blatant political compromise!"

After the meeting dismissed, some of the more radical Commoner Faction council members exchanged their opinions while in the car.

"Hush. The current situation of our Commoner Faction was meticulously planned by the Chairperson. Without the Chairperson, we wouldn't even have the right to compromise. So whatever decision the Chairperson makes must have his reasoning. Why should we be angry?"

"I just feel a bit disappointed. Our Commoner Faction has waited for so many years, finally achieving such a major victory, but with the Chairperson's compromise, we gave back half of our gains. It's truly frustrating! Besides, what will those colleagues, who were just promoted but then dismissed, think? How will people in various departments view them, and us?"

This council member's words hit home for everyone.

In truth, even if part of the interests were given to Fang Ze, the Commoner Faction's achievements this time were still impressive.

It's just that having initially gained all the victory, and then being forced to give some back, cast a shadow over this success. It also caused many officials in the Commoner Faction and various departments to have some concerns about the future of the Commoner Faction.

Thus, in the coming days, the previously clear situation in Xida State became turbulent once again.

Especially within the Security Bureau, where several newly appointed deputy directors were dismissed before they could even warm their seats, and then several noble faction deputy directors were reinstated, leaving the entire Security Bureau staff astounded and causing more undercurrents to stir.

No one knows exactly what happened that led He Weidao to suddenly make such a decision, nor does anyone know what method Fang Ze used to instantly reverse the decline of the noble faction. But everyone knows that Fang Ze truly rose up this time.

If Fang Ze originally only had some fame and prestige in Emerald City and the Provincial Government, then this time, having usurped a significant victory from the Commoner Faction by stepping on He Weidao's head, immediately made him a flag bearer for the noble faction in Xida State, creating a force that rivaled He Weidao.

Previously, the remnants of the Jiang and Bai families swarmed to him, and noble members from various departments in Xida State all took their cues from him. These days, the entrance to Fang Ze's estate is reminiscent of He Weidao's estate entrance a few days ago...

...

Simultaneously, as the situation in Xida State was rapidly changing, a celestial phenomenon was occurring in the Tuoya Domain.

A great sun, carrying unparalleled power and majesty, clashed through two layers of Domain and descended upon Tuoya.

At that moment, all the Absolute Pinnacle experts across the Polaris Federation, nearly a hundred demigods, couldn't help but look up, their gazes heavy, staring toward the far-off Tuoya Domain.

Even He Weidao, who had always been calm and calculating, stood up with a shocked expression....

Today my wife suddenly developed a high fever, 39 degrees. I'm not sure if it's COVID. I had to temporarily isolate her in the guest bedroom. We also have a 10-month-old child at home. So today, I've been taking care of her and the baby, leaving very little time for me to write. I will try my best to squeeze out time to ensure daily updates.

If someday, I accidentally miss an update (I will notify everyone by posting a single chapter at 8 PM so you don't wait in vain), please bear with me. Thank you.
