Chapter Summary
Although Liu Ning's support was very important, his father's support was just as important. However, many people who are involved in politics are not very capable, but they still hold very important leadership positions. However, if someone who is not strong enough takes that position, they will have many weaknesses.
They said they would block all news, but could some news really be blocked? Of course not. That very evening, Zhu Tianhua received the news that his father had decided to support self-sufficiency. Zhu Tianhua breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, Zhu Tianhua had also sensed that there would definitely be a result in the next two days. Although Liu Ning's support was very important, his father's support was just as important.
If he could get his father's support, it would mean he was already halfway to success. However, it wouldn't be easy to succeed completely. Compared to his brother, Zhu Tianhua had an unchangeable weakness: his own strength. His brother was a warrior-level expert, while Zhu Tianhua was just an ordinary person.
However, many people who are involved in politics are not very capable, but they still hold very important leadership positions. But in the context of human society as a whole, being strong is definitely useful. Many powerful people can be assigned assistants even if they don't understand politics, so they can still manage their subordinates.
However, if someone who is not strong enough takes that position, they will have many weaknesses. For example, they will not dare to confront those who are strong, because if they do, they may lose their lives at any time. Those people are different. With their strength, they can do anything, and the Human Council will not dare to do anything to them, after all, they are the cornerstone of human society.
Take Zhao Wudi, for example. He's currently the third-in-command in this city, but he has no management experience. So how did he get there? It's because of his formidable strength. Whenever ferocious beasts attack the city, Zhao Wudi can demonstrate his abilities. No one in the entire city is more powerful than him, so his position is very secure. Even if someone covets the position, they'll have to see if they have the ability to take it. If they don't, they can only watch.
If Zhao Wudi doesn't commit murder and arson, his position will likely be very stable. Even if he does, it depends on the severity of the incident. For example, when he wiped out so many members of the White family, did anyone say anything? Nobody dared to.
Three days later, it was Liu Ning's big day. Most of the city turned on their smart devices because a big event was going to be broadcast live: Liu Ning's inauguration ceremony. Liu Ning had become a city councilor and was the city's sixth city councilor.
If Liu Ning were to be ranked within the entire city, he would currently be ranked 6th, at least politically.
Even so, this caused a huge sensation. Look at the remaining five councilors: the first is naturally the city lord, the second is Old Master Wang, the third is Zhao Wudi, the fourth is Xue Shanhe, and the fifth is the administrative head of the western district. Each of them has their own abilities. Except for Old Master Wang, the others are all War God-level experts. Liu Ning is the second non-War God-level expert, which can be said to have set a precedent. Although Liu Ning does not have the strength, he can definitely enjoy this treatment. After all, he has great potential and may very well become an existence that surpasses the War God in the future. That would be the top expert among humans.
Being a councilor isn't just an honorary title; without real strength, one can't get the position. When the city is in danger, every councilor must be at the forefront—this has always been the custom. Most of these people were present when the ferocious beasts attacked the city last time, except for the West District Administrator; the others were on the city walls. That guy had other tasks then; he led the city's reserve forces. Once the city was breached, he would engage in street fighting with the beasts within the city. So everyone has made sacrifices; this title isn't given out casually. There's no such thing as an easy position.
Liu Ning's current position is partly due to his victory over the mage, and partly due to his outstanding contributions. If anyone objects, they are welcome to challenge Liu Ning to a duel. If they can defeat him, the position may be theirs. Initially, many people objected, but after this statement was made, they stopped objecting. In addition, Liu Ning cooperates with the Human Investigation Bureau and has an armored regiment under his command, so it's normal for him to hold the title of "One Yuan." Only someone with a screw loose would dare to criticize him.
Liu Ning hadn't even arrived at the city hall yet, but the smart devices had already started playing a series of videos about his life. When Liu Ning saw these videos, he felt that they were exaggerating his abilities. What did it mean to kill a ferocious beast with his bare hands? What did it mean to be awe-inspiring in all directions? Liu Ning couldn't have imagined these things before, but now they were all being shown. Some of the things were indeed true, but some of the things Liu Ning had never even thought of were true.
For example, when Liu Ning was cracking down on the number gang, many people said he was doing a service to the people. But Liu Ning himself knew that if he hadn't kidnapped his wife and mother, how could he have possibly destroyed such a gang? Was he out of his mind? His sense of justice wasn't that strong.
This is actually a form of personality cult. As long as you're promoted, what do the common people know? When Zhao Wudi and her colleagues were members of parliament, the government set up a special agency to promote these people. Everyone was portrayed as positive and incredibly capable. Because of this, no one dared to say anything. The government did a great job in this regard, but Liu Ning himself was a little embarrassed.
When the inauguration ceremony began, most of Liu Ning's relatives, including his mother, had already arrived. Liu Ning's achievements were being displayed on the stage. Liu Ning saw that his mother was crying in the audience. Anyone would probably cry when they saw these things. Liu Ning had not told his family how difficult his journey had been before, so his mother could not believe what she was seeing. After learning all this, she realized how hard-won his current life was.
