He had just begun to think when, from the second seat on his left, a deep voice sounded.

"Divine Eagle's protection!"

"Jiatai City will be holding a new mayoral election, and I believe that one of the candidates, Mr. Bricks, is very suitable to become the new master of this city."

The first "proposal," initiated by the Vice Chairman with an understated tone, described this shocking content, causing Tang Qi's expression to flicker slightly.

Jiatai City!

This is the second largest city in the Federation, and also the base of the Bright Church in the New Continent. To some extent, its status is no less than that of Holy Eagle Nest City and far surpasses some less prominent states.

Such a major city's mayoral election is undoubtedly a significant event.

Could it really be decided so arbitrarily?

The "Vice Chairman" did not use a tentative tone; the implied meaning of his statement was also very clear.

He hoped that within the Holy Eagle Nest Society, every "member" capable of exerting influence in that area would make the same choice.

With those words said, the Vice Chairman spoke no more and didn't even provide a reasonable explanation.

Soon, amidst the dazzling white brilliance of lightning, figure after figure began to speak.

"Agreed!"

"Seconded!"

"Fine!"

Clearly, every member who spoke was confident in their corresponding influence.

After dozens of voices, the proposal quickly reached a conclusion.

"Not a single member opposed; does this mean the next mayor of Jiatai City has been decided?"

"This is what they call a py deal, and it's a collective one at that."

Had this been any other organization, Tang Qi would undoubtedly have spared no criticisms.

However, this place was the Holy Eagle Nest Society.

Suddenly, Tang Qi recalled those who recommended he join the society—William O'Neill and John Wesley.

According to the organizational structure, these two should be the Deacons of the Holy Eagle Nest Society for the Secret Phoenix Area.

"Could Mr. O'Neill's position as the mayor of Secret Phoenix City have come about in the same way?"

At this moment, Tang Qi felt like he had discerned the truth.

"Since the position of mayor can be decided arbitrarily, doesn't that mean the Federation's highest throne might be as well?"

As soon as this thought emerged, Tang Qi immediately suppressed it.

It's unlikely!

In the entire Divine Eagle Federation, there were multiple powerful mysterious organizations aside from the Holy Eagle Nest Society, such as the World Tree, Ancient Mystical Vault, and the Bright Church, all possessing unimaginable influence. Perhaps they could not decide the next president.

But imposing their will was clearly not a difficult task.

Moreover, even within the Holy Eagle Nest Society itself, it was probably not completely unified.

Tang Qi's speculation was soon confirmed.

After the Vice Chairman's proposal ended, it quickly came to Deacons from different areas.

Opposite Tang Qi, from a higher-ranking seat shrouded in black mist, a somewhat hoarse voice, unhuman-like, came forth.

"Divine Eagle's protection!"

"An incident occurred in Loronto City, Kelo State. An ancient contained object 'HS-002' in the city's Black Umbrella Bureau suddenly awakened from its slumber and apparently was affected by 'mysterious' radiation, resulting in an explosion at the scene causing pollution affecting thousands in Loronto City."

"The polluted will become violently bloodthirsty and gradually transform into flesh-ball shaped 'monsters'. They are attempting to break through defenses and spread outside Loronto City... On behalf of the Black Umbrella Bureau, I propose that the Federation Military deploy large thermal weapons to purge Loronto City."

"Meanwhile, this news must be covered up, otherwise it will cause panic across the Federation."

This proposal from the Deacon, clearly from Kelo State, caused Tang Qi's pupils to shrink, especially his handling methods, which made Tang Qi question in bewilderment.

Is the Holy Eagle Nest Society truly an organization leaning towards justice and order?

But just as the Deacon's voice fell, a voice filled with anger came through.

"I oppose!"

The source of the voice was exactly in the area of that "Deacon's" seat, even a level higher.

Although some attempts at concealment had been made, it was still evident that this was a female voice.

Before the assembly could hear this member's reasoning, almost immediately, several voices came from different regions.

"I oppose too!"

"I have an objection!"

Following that, several reasons resounded in everyone's ears.

"According to my knowledge, the ancient contained object 'HS-002' did not awaken accidentally, but was awakened by a high-level agent from the Black Umbrella Bureau... The disaster in Loronto City originated from a mistake made by the Black Umbrella Bureau, and the Federation should hold them accountable."

"In addition, Loronto City has not completely fallen; there are still at least a few hundred people uninfected, and the pollution caused by HS-002 is reversible. I have already invited several scholars, healers, and Secret Medicine Masters who specialize in such pollution."

"I believe the 'Holy Healer's Tears' contained within Eagle's Nest can reverse this pollution, given the high authority of Holy Healing Tears, we can prioritize the use of its derivative, 'Tears Spring Water'."

...

Compared to the proposer, the subsequent objectors and their reasons clearly carried more convincing power.

However, the "Deacon" did not back down.

She simply fell silent until a query was issued from the center-leading "Rotating Chairman."

"Do we choose to initiate a full-member vote?"

At this voice, Tang Qi became interested.

Seeing this, he had some understanding of the standard proceedings of the Holy Eagle Nest Society, which looked formal, but were actually quite lax, resembling a gathering of "big shots" deciding on major issues privately.

And if a vote were to be held, Tang Qi, as a newcomer, also had the right to vote.

His choice, of course, went without saying.

Just before the "Deacon" decided, a cold, resolute voice came from a higher-ranking area, only second to that of the "Five-Person Council."

"I represent the military; I reject this proposal!"

With this voice, Tang Qi immediately realized that he would not be able to cast his first vote after entering the Holy Eagle Nest Society.

No reversals were made, the proposing Deacon did not speak further, implicitly accepting the several handling methods of the opponents.

After this "proposal" passed, the following began with other deacons from several regions initiating different topics.

Like the first and second, some were approved, others fell into disputes and were ultimately rejected.

Tang Qi never got to cast his first vote, as the proceedings quickly moved to the lower region.

Indeed, even ordinary members had the right to initiate topics.

However, regrettably, as a real "low-profile newcomer," he temporarily did not have this right.

Even if he did, he would probably not use it. As the principal of Merada Special Education School, he couldn't think of a proposal, certainly not one like "the Federation needs to build more special education schools."

Of course, the topics of ordinary members were restricted, with only one opportunity per joint meeting and requiring some kind of preliminary review.

Soon, the only ordinary topic of this meeting was created.

But the content left Tang Qi with a weird expression, unsure how to react.

A proposal from an ordinary member:

"I've invested in a 'true documentary' directed by a filmmaker from Eagle's Nest City about various scenes from the Mysterious Side. It can systematically educate all Federation's citizens about the existence of the Extraordinary World, to increase general acceptance after the Spiritual Tide is fully exposed."

"I need members to promote it, preferably making it the box office champion!"

This proposal appeared, and Tang Qi wasn't the only one with a peculiar expression.

Nonetheless, the proposal was eventually passed unanimously.

Tang Qi planned to bring the children for a private screening once the film was released, contributing a bit to the box office.

After this proposal that lowered the "Holy Eagle Nest Society's grace" had passed, the process was about to enter the next phase, exciting Tang Qi with steps like mutual exchanges, Sword Holders recruitment, and Eagle Scholars initiation.

But just then, suspended above the "Abyss."

The imposing Five-Person Council, still centralized by the "Rotating Chairman," his voice suddenly rang out:

"Now, initiating a special motion."

"The Holy Eagle Nest Society is about to participate in a war located in the 'Mysterious', which might face the Rotten Head, Mysterious Deformed Show, and other Evil God Organization... Members willing to join, please register with the respected Sword Holder immediately."

As his words fell, Tang Qi instantly saw that besides himself, a strong surge of energy was evident among many members reflected in his eyes.
