Overturned Tower

Chapter 176 Crime

When Morgan first entered the industry, she had already heard the name Bad Sun.

The world's most dangerous criminal.

A person jointly wanted by Qikong Island and the church.

No warning is required upon sighting him - any civilian can attack and kill him, or choose to notify the Enforcement Department immediately.

Killing him will get you a high reward, and even just providing specific information about his location can get you a lot of money.

…but that’s theory.

On the other hand, Morgan had never heard of a company's executive department actually fighting bad days.

Even the name "Bad Day" and the image itself are considered secrets.

News can hardly be broadcast, and various programs cannot be told.

The only ones who will mention bad days are self-media and anchors who have various gossips.

But they also told half-truths and half-falsehoods, each telling a different story. When curious viewers open the "Wanted" project on the official website of the head office, they will always see Bad Day first, making sure that this person is indeed there... but that's all.

One still hears nothing about the bad days from any media reports from the head office side. There is not even a description of what exactly he committed.

——What kind of wanted warrant is this?

Are there still wanted cases in the world that are neither publicized nor publicized?

And even fewer people know about the Tower of Babel.

In most people's perception, the Tower of Babel organization is actually a well-known memory theft group. As for the further crimes hidden within, they are all secret.

And "memory theft" is too far away for ordinary people. Most people will forget when they see it. Only the criminal organizations and mercenary groups in Xiacheng District can have the terrifying rumors of this dark organization.

But when Morgan became a killer, she finally learned what Bad Day had done... and why the company wanted him in this way.

——Murder several elf directors.

It is true that such a crime cannot be made public. That would cause huge turmoil.

I don’t know how many people on various islands harbor resentment against the company’s senior executives.

But the family education they received when they were young, and the knowledge they received in school when they grew up, all told them that elves are born noble and are completely different from mortals.

Their lifespan, talents, appearance, intelligence, and character are all completely different from those of humans. He doesn't even have any spiritual characteristics that would remind him of a beast, as if he were a "cleaner person."

Originally, the directors of the company were already highly valued people.

The director of the head office can change the entire island with just one word and one action.

For example, when Morgan was still in school, a human director of Happy Island proposed the concept of "multidimensional learning."

To put it simply, it means encouraging extracurricular tutoring.

Compulsory education in Xingfu Island is only five years of primary school, from seven to twelve years old.

After the age of twelve, although there are also high school and junior high schools, they are all promoted consecutively.

From grade one to grade six, there is no pressure to advance to higher schools in the first three grades. The biggest difference is that the junior high school provides centralized accommodation...but after being promoted to the high school at the age of fifteen, students are allowed to live off campus.

The director proposed keeping the knowledge taught in schools to a minimum and teaching only two items: "general knowledge" and "public knowledge." The original school hours from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm will be shortened to 9 am to 3 pm, with two classes in the morning and one class in the afternoon. At the same time, the original five days of study time per week was changed to four days.

The remaining time is "multi-dimensional learning time", that is, "making full use of everyone's strengths and expertise."

Whether it is a tutor or a cram school, it can be inserted into the original study time.

Starting from high school, you can also choose "social internship", which is to work as a temporary worker; or "corporate internship", which is to work in a company in advance to get a job.

No matter which one you choose, you don’t have to come to school as long as you submit an application.

——But the problem is that the entrance examination has not become easier, and it has even become more difficult.

Passing the graduation exams of "common knowledge" and "public knowledge" is just a stepping stone. After that, for different universities, you have to go to that university separately to take the "individual knowledge" test. The test questions used in this exam are all professional course knowledge - even half a semester ahead of the final exam for freshmen in this school.

This is bound to fail for everyone. Because this is definitely not taught in middle schools, and relevant knowledge can only be obtained from "corporate internships" and tutoring.

In addition, students can also submit work records of "social internship" and "corporate internship" as references for university admissions.

After the director proposed this concept, all middle schools and universities in Happy Island implemented it within one year.

A team of more than 10,000 tutors and cram school teachers was created in just one year. University textbooks and cram school textbooks became best-selling books in the blink of an eye. Dozens of companies focused on admission reference and writing guides for various universities. Companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Even in the anchor industry, there is a popular category of "college tutoring", which has directly become the top three most popular labels.

In contrast, more young students are involved in the flesh and blood factory of "idol trainees".

They don’t want to become idols, or they are confident that they can become idols. Maybe they just have no choice.

"Idol" is already the only occupation that gives them a slight chance of turning around, apart from jobs such as "store clerk", "power leveling" and "online game wage earner" that have no academic requirements.

Because civilians really can’t afford to go to school.

In order to reduce the pressure of expensive tuition fees, many people are forced to participate in "social internships" starting from high school. There are also many people who don't even go to middle school at all because they are "a waste of time" and are sent to idol factories by their families at the age of twelve to undergo "cultivation and transformation" in a physical sense.

——And all this is just a casual mention by a director of the head office in a certain public meeting.

This is still a human director.

In front of the elf directors, they were as immature as children.

There is no case in any Sky Island where human directors can be ranked in the top twelve——

The head office is different from the boards of directors of other companies in that it adopts the "minority consent system" on major matters.

This is also related to Morgan's main job goal, so she can know such secrets.

The so-called minority consent system means speaking in order of "order". As long as eight of the twenty-four members of the board of directors agree to the motion, the remaining people do not need to speak. No matter how the position of the elven directors changes, humans will only reach the thirteenth position at most... This means that the opinions of the human directors will have almost no impact on the elves.

Unless the elves are deadlocked at a ratio of six to six or seven to five, the opinions of the "human directors" will be considered.

And when necessary... if the human directors who are too high in the ranking are unwilling to withdraw from the board of directors on their own, people like Morgan will be sent to eliminate the votes in key positions through threats, blackmail or even physical destruction.

As for those trivial matters such as "annexing a company" that do not require a meeting, each director can handle it on his own.

If the other party is unwilling to buy the stock, you can also send someone like Morgan to get the other party to agree.

Their approach is usually not to force the other party to agree to sell the equity - because that would make little sense. If the other party is resentful, they will not be willing to work for these big shots.

The normal method is to confirm the contract with other major shareholders and founders in advance, and then let the controlling shareholder "disappear" or "accidentally" disappear.

At that time, they have pre-emptive rights. You can become the new controlling shareholder to complete the merger agreement.

Morgan has done a lot of this kind of thing.

Even though she knew very well that there was no possibility of retiring in her profession and she would have to work until death... she didn't dare to resist Kamalse or even run away.

If she hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, she would never have dared to try to assassinate Kamalse.

This has nothing to do with the "spell" held by Kamalse. Before she took action, she had no idea that elves had such terrifying power.

What really bound her was her thoughts.

It was those thoughts that had bound her throughout her life from childhood.

Company executives are big shots who must not be touched. Directors can change the world with just one word. Uncoded people are despicable criminals. Unhappiness is sinful. Elves are nobler creatures than humans. Psychiatry is a shortcoming. Diseases that are born with each species, the world belongs to elves and humans are just pets...

and, “This is all normal and reasonable.”

The chains of common sense and concepts bound her to death.

When she learned what Bad Sun had done...she was even frightened by it.

Afraid of——

"How could anyone really dare to attack the elves?"

——Isn’t he afraid?

He actually assassinated the elf director of the head office. What kind of lawless maniac is he?

...But now, her position is completely different from that then.

Morgan looked at Bad Sun with extremely complicated eyes.

Fear, fear, respect, confusion, emotion, admiration...

as well as……

Something she didn't even notice - anticipation.

I was typing in the morning and was suddenly taken away to do nucleic acid tests. The next day, it might be an hour or two late...
