Chapter 365 Overbearing Master Grey

At the same time, in the council.

The council was the ultimate department of the tribunal committee. They held great power and controlled the inspection team and investigation team.

The inspection team even had the power to supervise the president. If the president did something wrong, the council had the right to dismiss them.

In that case, the power of the council was even higher than the president.

However, under normal circumstances, the council would not interfere with the president’s actions at all. In fact, they would unanimously support the president’s decision.

Unless the president did something to harm the tribunal committee.

Ten elders were in charge of the council. However, all their decisions had to be agreed upon by the ten elders before they could take effect. If one elder disagreed, any decisions made by the council would be invalid.

This was a check and balance of power.

Those who could enter the council and become an elder were influential people. Their background and ability were unquestionable.

However, they had already given their lives to the council as soon as they entered. They would be cut loose from their ties to their past family backgrounds and all benefits.

They had the highest authority, but they did not have freedom.

Their words and actions were all restricted by the various rules of the council.

“The tenth elder has been wandering outside for more than 20 years. She’s finally back!”

Seth looked at Jocelyn and said with envy.

“Seth, you don’t have to envy her. Now that she’s back, her carefree days will end,” Richard said.

Jocelyn sat at the end of the oval round table. She could not help but smile when she heard the jealous voices of these men.

“Everyone, it’s not like you don’t know why I left the council back then and went to the outside world. After all, you were the ones who asked me to join the council back then. You were also the ones who let me out.”

At this moment, Jaye, the First Elder who had been silent all this while, spoke. He looked at Jocelyn and said, “Now that you’re back, you should start working properly. We are old, and you’re still young. Young people should work harder.”

Jocelyn curled her lips. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll cause chaos in the council?”

Jaye fell silent.

The veins on the foreheads of Richard, Neil, and the others twitched. Jocelyn really didn’t know her place.

“Don’t forget the rules of the council. The rest is up to you.”

Jaye gave his order.

Jocelyn smiled.

At this moment, Julian walked in.

He smiled and said, “Elders, you called me over. I heard you want to introduce me to the tenth elder of the council. I’m lucky to be finally meeting the mysterious tenth elder today.”

He walked in with a smile. When he saw the enchanting woman in red sitting at the end of the round table, his voice immediately stopped.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

*Jocelyn, why are you here?” Julian immediately had a bad feeling.

Jaye looked at Julian and said, “Julian, you and the tenth elder are old acquaintances. However, 20 years ago, Jocelyn had already become our tenth elder. Due to some special circumstances previously, her identity was not made public. You guys know each other. Hence, you can work together more. The tribunal committee has to improve. Young people’s decisions are sometimes more creative. You’re much better than us old men who are outdated.”

Julian looked at Jocelyn in a daze. His heart was in turmoil.

After a long time, he finally found his voice. He muttered in disbelief, “Jocelyn, why are you… the tenth elder?” Jocelyn looked at Julian’s incredulous expression and could not help but smile. She said mockingly. “What’s there to be surprised about? After all, I’m so outstanding. Years ago, these men insisted on me joining because I was outstanding.”

Julian’s throat was dry. He glanced at the elders and said to Jocelyn, “You’re very outstanding, but I really didn’t expect…”
