A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 363, Bill 666

Jiang Shuzhou had no other purpose in controlling these people; he simply intended to push forward the implementation of the bill and, incidentally, reap some benefits.

As for the contract? It's nothing more than a guarantee.

"Since you've put it that way, I naturally support you."

Jiang Shuzhou said.

Upon hearing this, Kevin finally felt relieved.

He had initially thought there might be problems.

After all, he had previously assured the president that he would be able to push through the legislation.

When Jiang Shuzhou said he didn't intend to support him, he even considered assassination.

According to regulations, the bill can only proceed if 60% of people agree.

Previously, out of a total of seven people, if three agreed or three disagreed, it would result in more than 40% of the people disagreeing.

Now, with Jiang Shuzhou added, there are a total of eight people. Even if three of them disagree, they only account for 37.5%, which is completely in accordance with the regulations.

Once the evaluation team approves, the president will naturally have a way to handle the subsequent legislative committee process.

After all, President Francis had by this time essentially unified the three branches of government, and almost no one could restrain the power he wielded.

It's only because of that old geezer Field that he can act so arrogantly, relying on his outstanding achievements.

If it were anyone else, the president would have already opened his mind, instead of going through all this trouble to bring in another person.

Jiang Shuzhou and Kevin were whispering to each other, while Will and Jack, who were sitting nearby, were getting restless.

Like Field, they were strongly opposed to the new bill.

Tony, on the other hand, seemed indifferent. Capital is driven by profit, and he was willing to do anything as long as there was enough profit to be made.

As for Hannibal and Smith, who hadn't come yet, they both supported the new bill.

"Professor Moriarty, you cannot support the new bill!"

"I believe in you..."

Jack's roar immediately drew Jiang Shuzhou's attention.

Then he began to spout a lot of high-sounding words, such as this is immoral, this will cause irreparable consequences, and according to psychological reasoning, this will cause people's morality to decline rapidly, etc.

Jiang Shuzhou always ignored such words, letting them go in one ear and out the other.

Power is only accountable to the source of its power.

Perhaps others believe that Jiang Shuzhou's power stems from his knowledge, and perhaps professional intellectual debate can persuade him to change his mind.

But Jiang Shuzhou's power actually comes from his own strength; he is only responsible to himself.

This isn't Hamlet. Besides, the president has already proposed this bill, so what else is there to say? Just pass it, right?

Jiang Shuzhou needs sins, and by signing this bill, even just getting a little involved, his sin value will probably skyrocket.

When the time comes, he'll go down and become the devil's grand duke, not to mention Jiang Shuzhou's efforts to ensure his crimes aren't severe enough.

They also use rituals to directly blaspheme the soul.

This is absolutely heinous.

Of course, from a generally rational perspective, Jiang Shuzhou is indeed deeply guilty.

However, according to Jiang Shuzhou's own feelings, he had not committed any crime.

They're all bad people anyway, so what's wrong with them dying?

As for the subsequent moral decline?

It is not me, it is the law.

It wasn't Jiang Shuzhou who did it; it was their own moral decline, and it was all because the law wasn't fully implemented.

"This is my intention, Mr. Jack."

Jiang Shuzhou said with a smile, at the same time directly cutting off Jack's hope of persuasion.

"you!"

Jack realized that the person in front of him was not as normal as he had imagined.

"Remember what I said, I hope you can achieve it, and if you do, I will vote in favor in the public poll that will be held in the media later."

Jiang Shuzhou said.

"That's for sure. Your concern for national security and your request to build more shelters is a great thing."

Jiang Shuzhou's design for the shelters is layered and complex, taking into account various possibilities while making reasonable allocations. He also added misleading punctuation marks in many places.

If one is not a seasoned mage, they probably wouldn't even notice any problem here.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Kevin extended his hand.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Jiang Shuzhou grasped it back.

What followed was a debate, with Jack and Will trying to change Tony's mind and get him to side with them completely. Unfortunately, they didn't have that much power, and they couldn't offer much in return.

If the original Tony still had some conscience, things have changed now; Tony's conscience has simply gone to feed the dogs.

Having a conscience can make money; abandoning your conscience will make you even more money.

It's important to understand that the Walker Group can make a considerable amount of money from both the construction of shelters and the development of various derivative industries.

For example, firearms, various types of ammunition, a complete personal protective system, or a fully armed mercenary escort team, and other things.

This is all real money; one cannot abandon money for the sake of conscience.

In any case, no matter how chaotic things get below, it won't change anything for him.

Jiang Shuzhou found the scene amusing.

These people naively thought the cleanup would stop.

With the pollution of the abyss, the cleansing will only become more ruthless and relentless.

When this cleansing begins, all order will be destroyed, and malice will permeate the world. At that time, both the human world and hell will be ravaged.

However, this won't last long.

Humans are inherently inclined to crave order.

In a world without order, these people would struggle to survive, and probably no one would like them.

But chaos is inevitable.

Especially those legislators, they will definitely not have a good ending.

Jiang Shuzhou didn't care. After finishing this job, he would go to hell and have a showdown with the demons to see who was stronger.

As for the others?

Hopefully they won't run into anyone they know on their way down, otherwise...

After watching the back-and-forth debate between the two sides for a while, Jiang Shuzhou quickly left the meeting room.

He doesn't have time to fool around here.

And just like that, a month passed quietly.

During this period, numerous murders and various heinous incidents occurred, and the news was filled with these tragic reports.

"An 18-year-old boy returns to school, finds the bully, and single-handedly wipes out the entire school."

"Seventy-five-year-old Mr. Wang, having nothing better to do, chose to become a psychopathic killer in search of thrills."

"Shocking! A police officer actually did this to partygoers?!"

"A few things that have to be said about the school, a five-person team launches a fierce attack on the school."

"The three people died under mysterious circumstances, and their wounds appeared to be caused by sharp claws."

Reports like these are everywhere.

Of course, many of these were articles that Jiang Shuzhou provided to the news media.

Jiang Shuzhou has also mastered the art of using clickbait headlines.

Fear and panic overwhelmed everyone.

The scene looked like the end of the world.

Soon, an explosive piece of news arrived.

"The new bill will be voted on by experts live tomorrow, and its contents will be fully disclosed."
