From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Surrounded by Vatican and the Light and Shadow Society's blessing officer, Zhang Zhiwei arrived at the elevator platform and ordered, "Summon all the mortals here. I will make the announcement myself."

“This… Commander of the Dust People, the Dust People population is nearly ten thousand, and the elevator platform simply cannot accommodate so many people.”

The official in charge of prayers hesitated.

"What's your name?"

Zhang Zhiwei stroked his chin, looking up and down at the prayer official who had missing teeth and difficulty speaking, and asked with great interest.

“Commander of the Dust People, my name is Bri.”

The official in charge of offering blessings had a fawning expression on his face.

“Bri ya.”

Zhang Zhiwei turned around, pointed to the circular walkway on the upper level of the lighthouse, and said with a smile, "Can't people stand on those upper levels too?"

You arrange it so that the young and middle-aged stand on this floor, the elderly on the next floor, the women on the floor before that, and the children on the very top floor.

Since I'm speaking in person, naturally everyone needs to witness it!

"this······"

The official in charge of offering prayers had beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Commander of the Dust People."

Vatican, standing to the side, spoke calmly and melodiously, "Under normal circumstances, the commoners can only access the upper levels when inspecting the lighthouse's facilities and equipment..."

"Does the lighthouse have a rule that Dust People cannot wander around the upper levels under normal circumstances?"

Before Fanti could finish speaking, Zhang Zhiwei interrupted him with a laugh and asked a question.

Vatican was speechless.

The lighthouse doesn't actually have a written rule against Dust People loitering on the upper edge walkway... No matter how strict the lighthouse's rules are, they can't cover everything, and there will always be loopholes.

only--

Whether they are upper class or commoner, they all tacitly agree to this rule.

Seeing that Fanti didn't speak, Zhang Zhiwei asked again, "If you don't answer, does that mean there isn't one?"

Even if I take a step back and acknowledge that there is such a pattern, is this the general situation now?

"As a newly appointed official, is it not allowed for me to let all the common people know me?"

After a long silence, Vatican said sarcastically, "I didn't realize that someone with power beyond our comprehension would also crave power so much?"

"I can do without power, but you must give me this face. Otherwise, your wise and mighty city lord's treatment next month might have to be postponed until the month after next."

Zhang Zhiwei pointed out Fanti's weakness and chuckled, "The treatment process requires all three of us."

"Now, the three of us each have our own responsibilities. If my elder sister Hong happens to be leading the city defense troops on ground training, or if my younger brother Lu happens to have an upset stomach and cannot be on time to provide the city lord with the next stage of treatment, please forgive him."

Before Vatican could speak, he continued, "Don't blame me for being despicable, I've already made myself clear to you. As for whether you want to tell your dearest city lord exactly what I said... I think you should forget about it."

We are all smart people.

If some things are really brought to the surface, things won't look good.

after all--

Baseness is the passport of the base;

Nobility is the epitaph of the noble!

"Then how dare you be so blunt with me?"

As Vatican questioned him, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

Do you want the truth, or a lie?

Zhang Zhiwei countered with a question.

Vatican pondered for a moment and then asked, "How do you tell a lie?"

Without hesitation, Zhang Zhiwei said, "Although you're covering the upper half of your face, you have a good figure and are pleasing to the eye."

"Oh."

A disdainful smile appeared on Vanti's lips. He mimicked Zhang Zhiwei's sarcastic tone and chuckled, "You may be a bit vulgar, but you certainly know how to talk."

What about the truth?

Zhang Zhiwei blurted out, "She's just a woman who's using someone else's power to bully others. Even if I have ulterior motives, she's more important to Charles than you are."

Even if you tell Charles everything I have to say, he won't make things difficult for me or us because of you.

"you!"

Vatican was furious... he got angry for a moment.

Zhang Zhiwei then added, "Is that Fanlu your sister? Compared to that mere pretty face, you're actually a smart person."

Fandi naturally understood Zhang Zhiwei's implied meaning.

The city lord granted him, Lu Jin, and Hong Guniang the power of someone "second only to one person," meaning that the three of them only needed to be responsible to the city lord!

Even she, the enforcer of the Light and Shadow Society, could not command or disobey Zhang Zhiwei!

Therefore, Vatican could only grit his teeth and agree, saying, "Okay, I'll go prepare!"

Indeed, interacting with more people helps one to "know how to navigate social situations," but as for that Brahma Vinaya...

Perhaps she was raised from a young age to be Charles's 'personal maid' or 'bedchamber maid'.

Watching Vatican's departing figure, Zhang Zhiwei determined the general situation of the two sisters. It was probably the previous city lord Morgan's selfish desire to cultivate a pair of sisters, one inside and one outside.

The one "inside" has become a fanatical follower of Charles, and it's impossible to win him over in the short term; while the one "outside" is indeed a fox borrowing power, but he is reasonably intelligent and, as long as he isn't provoked too much, he generally understands where his power comes from.

Before long, the fourth-floor corridor near the elevator platform was filled with people—young people, the elderly, women, and children—all of whom were focused on Zhang Zhiwei, who was standing on the elevator platform with his identification tag casually stuck to his waist.

"Fellow Dust People, you must have already seen me when the Wilderness Hunters returned from the surface. I have gathered you here today because there is something I want to announce to you."

Zhang Zhiwei addressed all the commoners and the upper-class citizens who had come to watch the spectacle, and loudly proclaimed, "From this moment on, all commoners are under my control!"

I am now the Dust People Commander appointed by the City Lord!

In an instant.

There was an uproar.

"quiet!"

Vatican picked up a megaphone and shouted.

I said—

At this moment, Zhang Zhiwei's voice returned to normal, but it was like a lion's roar, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present, causing them to unconsciously focus their attention on him.

A tiny golden dot, the size of a grain of rice, appeared at his fingertip. With a gentle flick, the dot left a long, thin trail in the air and struck Vatican's head directly in front of him.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the point of light exploded on the helmet she was wearing. The invisible force slammed her against the steel wall opposite the elevator platform, but it did not damage the helmet or injure her in the slightest; it only made her feel a little dizzy.

This scene terrified everyone.

As Vanti stood up, Bri rushed over to help her, but seemed afraid of touching her body, looking rather comical. He asked with concern, "Sir Enforcer, are you alright?"

"Go away!"

Fanti kicked the sleazy-looking Brie aside, gritted his teeth, and pointed at Zhang Zhiwei, saying, "You! You..."

"Don't get agitated."

Zhang Zhiwei chuckled, "I was just joking with you. And since we'll be colleagues for a while, I'm giving you a heads-up:

The Dust People are now under my jurisdiction, and I will decide their disciplinary matters. It's not your place to interfere.

and so--

If a commoner accidentally offends a superior person in the future, please inform me first.

Understand?"

Upon hearing this, Vatican's chest heaved violently, and he roared in a low voice, "Even so!"

Even though the city lord granted you the privilege of managing the common people, you have also joined the Lighthouse's system. Your actions just now, while meant to remind me, still crossed the line!

# Chapter 1144 Seven Thousand Contribution Points = One Whip

"Oh? Where did you cross the line?"

A golden ball of light appeared at Zhang Zhiwei's fingertip. "Among the rules established based on the three laws, are there provisions that prohibit the upper class or the dust people from using life essence to joke with their colleagues?"

I only gave you a playful push, nothing more. Your equipment wasn't damaged, and you weren't injured...

As a law enforcement officer, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill?

"You! You! You're absolutely unreasonable!"

Fanti was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode, and his breathing became rapid.

"Alright, alright, as the saying goes, a good man doesn't argue with a wicked woman. I'm magnanimous, I'll back down and pretend I really crossed the line just now. What punishment do you want?"

Zhang Zhiwei stood with his hands on his hips, a playful look on his face.

"According to the law, offending law enforcement officers is punishable by fifty lashes!" Vatican shouted.

"Alright, let's go."

Zhang Zhiwei smiled, took off his shirt, and hung it around his waist, revealing his well-proportioned upper body. He wasn't the muscular type, but he had a broad frame and well-proportioned muscles. Coupled with his rather long but somewhat handsome face, he left the adult men and women present speechless for a moment.

Even Vatican unconsciously swallowed hard before snapping out of his daze and saying to the enforcer beside him, "Ned, go and carry out the execution!"

"Yes!"
