Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Development Planning of the Libra Organization

"The men’s basketball final favorite, Columbia team has announced their withdrawal..."

"Columbia men’s basketball team attacked, Columbia officials demand severe punishment of the criminals..."

"Top-secret intelligence! The author visited the hospital at night, and it turns out that several Columbia players had their [beep] cut off..."

"Could the perpetrator be Libra? Could there be a hidden agenda behind the incident!"

"Shocking, before being mutilated, the Columbia basketball players did such a thing!"

"x human rights organization publicly condemns Libra, even criminals have human rights..."

"Past and present of the Libra organization..."

...

Upon opening the webpage, Feng Xue instantly understood how her Kaidan entry had come about.

These punishment-driven tasks against criminals were not uncommon. Based on the "retaliatory revenge principle," even if commissioned, the executioner would only spend coins to hire some durian-wielding, scantily clad musclemen to discuss life with the criminals. However, for those whose nature was particularly vile, being double-plugged, or habitual offenders with other sins, there were instances where punishment involved severing a rod or taking one or two eggs.

Unquestionably, these Columbia players must have been of the particularly vile type.

Generally speaking, such cases would at most appear in street tabloids; major newspapers wouldn’t even bother to provide coverage. However, the timing now was slightly different—

After all, Bakerland was hosting a major event currently watched by over a billion people!

And these punished fellows just happened to be prospective champions in this major event.

"Tsk tsk, this really links up with the current trend," Feng Xue was quite pleased with her sudden rise and was also pondering the future direction of developments.

Yan Country has its chivalrous heroes, Casimir has its knight traditions, Victoria has tales of Robin Hood, even Columbia has its cowboy culture; the whole world has a similar adoration for these righteous thieves, heroes outside societal norms who eliminate evil.

After all, people always crave heroes; compared to the few at the top of the pyramid who lack nothing and are not afraid of being bullied, the vast majority of people are the oppressed.

Private prisons do have luxurious suites, no doubt, but most of the prisoners entering private prisons are taken to make bullets, cultivate leaves, or even used as lab rats in medicine experiments.

This was also why despite cooking for housewives every day, he got no response for half a year, but then the Libra organization cultivated a few batches of impoverished assassins, and in two months, it had become a Kaidan.

Of course, this event which drew the attention of billions was also a factor that could not be ignored.

However, regardless, Feng Xue had finally obtained the Kaidan entry and become a true part of Kaidan.

There was no helping it—Kaidan was an organization, and she was a part of it as its leader, instructor, and a founder; although she possessed all the powers that Kaidan could offer, she was not Kaidan in her entirety.

After all, ordinary people who recognized the Libra organization recognized not only her as a Swearer but also the Executioners who labored and exerted themselves. Even though these adventurers were real, the "Identity" directed at them would not transfer to Feng Xue, but would accumulate continuously. If these Executioners had gathered enough "Identity" before their deaths, their souls would reincarnate using "Identity" as a shell and become Kaidan, not production of Infinite City.

"Living to uphold justice and becoming an immortal Heroic Spirit after death feels like I’ve inadvertently created a knockoff Heroic Spirit Hall..."

Feng Xue was not displeased with this situation where others shared the benefits; on the contrary, for a newcomer, this organizational type of Kaidan was just right.

Being able to develop a large number of employees meant there would always be new incidents occurring. If it were like old Li creating a Kaidan of The Dog Thief, it would not take long to disappear slowly due to the TV series going out of style or lacking extendable topics of interest.

Of course, while the impact of urban legends was significant, they were not without drawbacks, such as having to face opposition from all sides.

No matter how noble the reasons, Assassins were ultimately trampling on the law, so official suppression was inevitable.

And as for the dark side of society, the gangs and criminal underworld, they naturally would not allow such an organization to continue existing.

Besides, one should not forget those who fed on the miseries of others, skirted the boundaries of the law, and occasionally crossed the line.

"Fortunately, the Seven Great Blessings have now become reality, but it feels a bit tacky to give them directly. Mortals have these blessings passively; it’s enough to just bestow them, I can’t feel them anyway. As for the remaining four..."

Feng Xue lightly tapped her finger on the tabletop but couldn’t help but think of a problem:

The current Executioners possessed physical abilities over four times that of an ordinary person, had keen perception trained by Killing Intent arrows, and practiced the Concealing Breath Skill that Feng Xue had learned from the Assassin tag. These abilities combined were already quite strong. Adding any more could make the Executioners jack of all trades and master of none.

Having understood this, her thoughts became somewhat clearer—

"It seems I indeed need to establish a standard, like being able to fully adapt to the body amplification provided by Hundred Refinement Body and master all abilities of the novice stage to graduate from the novice phase and become an official Executioner. At that time, they can choose one of the four blessings—Arrow Avoidance Protection, Slaughter Skill, Concealing Breath Skill, or Heart of Bright Mirror—to master before unlocking new blessings. Just having the Hundred Refinement Body means a novice; having two abilities makes an official Executioner; three, a veteran Executioner; four, an elite Executioner. Learning all the protections entitles one to the title of ’Master,’ qualified to take disciples..."

Feng Xue silently made a rather simple division for the Executioners, then began considering how to reflect this hierarchy in the Executioners’ clothing, masks, and the like. Everyone’s uniform could be considered as being for novices, and even linking the outfits to upgrades could bring a more ceremonial feel.

However, these were not conveniences that she could directly discuss with Jessica. It would have to be subtly influenced and then let "interested parties" slowly discover it.

Although the plan seemed quite troublesome, the only concern was about the dozen or so Executioners Feng Xue was currently developing. Once they were sorted out, new recruits could simply have these contents written into the contract, being bestowed with the protections from the beginning, only to be unlocked under specific conditions.

"The only issue now," Feng Xue thought, taking out a pen and paper, "is how to assess mastery of the skills." Before, this might have given her a headache, but now, as an Instructor with the Cognition of Training power, designing tests for the corresponding levels of mastery of blessings was a piece of cake!
