Mui Nujiao was listening to the conversation, but soon realized she had no idea what they were talking about.
The Great Pyramid of Giza?
Weren't the Pyramids in Egypt? Why did they sound like the Great Pyramid of Giza had appeared in their country instead?
The incident related to the Great Pyramid of Giza had not been disclosed to the public. The evacuation of the people of the North Valley was described as an operation to relocate the people to the Headquarters City instead.
The people were already quite anxious after everything that happened. If they knew the northwest of their country was not safe either, the whole country would start to panic. They had already driven the Great Pyramid of Giza back, so the North Valley was now safe. However, they were worried that someone with malicious intent might be spreading rumors to disrupt the order of society. The authorities would struggle even further with preventive measures if the people were unwilling to cooperate.
Therefore, Chairman Shao Zheng had come to express his gratitude to Mo Fan in person.
He was already struggling to handle the danger along the eastern coastline. If a great disaster erupted inland too, where could the people be evacuated to?
"Even though the situation is currently under control after we sealed off the news, I'm afraid that people would lose all their hope if the invasion of the Underworld army was disclosed to the public. Can you please forgive me for not telling the public about it for now?" Chairman Shao Zheng sounded like he was pleading.
"It's your call, it doesn't bother me at all," Mo Fan replied loftily.
Han Ji had revealed the truth about the Calamity of the Ancient Capital Institute during the World College Tournament, yet the people of their country still could not recognize Mo Fan. He was already utterly disappointed in them!
The King of Undead was controlling the undead of the Ancient Capital. The Underworld army was unlikely to return. Mo Fan was worried that the people that had gone through the Calamity of the Ancient Capital would lose their minds if the battle in the North Valley was disclosed. They were most likely going to suffer a mental breakdown if they knew two armies of undead were fighting one another in the North Valley, regardless of where they were from!

"We'll disclose the truth about the Great Pyramid of Giza together with Egypt after we're done setting up the Headquarters Cities," Chairman Shao Zheng said.
"Sure," Mo Fan nodded.
"By the way, you are the one that captured the Cold Prince alive. Do you want to interrogate him? We'll be handing him to the International Court of Justice tomorrow. The Holy Judgment Court will be putting him on trial," Chairman Shao Zheng said.
"Why would I bother interrogating scum like him? Just let the Holy Judgment Court hold on to him for some time and list all his crimes. Let's use him to send the Black Vatican a message, and execute him on a fine day," Mo Fan said.
It was necessary to punish an individual as an example to others. The members of the Black Vatican had been following the Red Cardinals blindly. They had even worshiped them, since their attempts to topple the world always went unpunished. Therefore, it was time to show the scum of the Black Vatican the fate of their beloved Red Cardinals when justice was being served!
"So you agree to hand him over to the Holy Judgment Court?" Chairman Shao Zheng asked.
"I guess so. They are the professionals, after all?" Mo Fan replied.
"I thought you would hold a grudge against them. I'll let them know that you've personally agreed to hand the Cold Prince over, so they will owe you a favor. That way, they won't trouble you again," Chairman Shao Zheng said.
The Holy Judgment Court and the Heresy Judgment Court were constantly keeping an eye on Mo Fan, since they were weary of the Demon Element's power. The Heresy Judgment Court wanted to put Mo Fan on trial. They might end up forbidding the Demon Element. After all, someone had to be accountable for the tragedy at the Parthenon Temple!
Mo Fan and the Black Totem Snake had killed a lot of people, too. Even though it had come to an end after they concluded it was a conspiracy by Mellaura and the Clergyman she had colluded with, Mo Fan was still guilty of his crimes.
After Mo Fan captured the Cold Prince alive, Chairman Shao Zheng believed it was necessary to hand the Cold Prince over to the Holy Judgment Court, since he knew Mo Fan was still awaiting trial. The Holy Judgment Court could use him to keep the Black Vatican at bay, and it could also get rid of the world's doubts on the Holy Judgment Court's capabilities. Most importantly, the Holy Judgment Court would turn a blind eye to what Mo Fan had done at the Parthenon Temple too. The Magic Associations of the Five Continents would no longer hold the Black Totem Snake responsible for the tragedy of the Parthenon Temple, either.

Mo Fan was not afraid of the Holy Judgment Court, but the Black Totem Snake's existence had just been accepted by the world. Things would be troublesome if the Parthenon Temple or the Magic Associations of the Five Continents took him away. The Magic Associations of the Five Continents even had Forbidden Mages!
"There's one more thing," Chairman Shao Zheng said.
"Chairman, why don't you just appoint me a Councilman? I'm just a representative of the national team..." Mo Fan grumbled.
"HAHAHA, it's actually not a bad idea if you really want to be a Councilman. You have earned the support of a lot of people. Besides, I don't think you will have any trouble becoming a Super Mage, either. If you could rule over a city, you would be ticking all the boxes. Should I just nominate you..." Chairman Shao Zheng burst out laughing.
"Please don't, I've already gotten used to being a free man. Besides, didn't you already assign me the important mission of searching for the ancient Totem Beasts?" Mo Fan waved his hand hastily.
Mo Fan had never wanted to be a Councilman. He just wanted to be a Mage that could come and go as he pleased. He would not mind lending a hand within his capabilities when the country needed him.
"I do think you're close to meeting all the requirements. Do you have any idea how valuable your Fanxue Mountain is right now?" Chairman Shao Zheng smiled like a cunning fox.
It was not a bad idea to appoint Mo Fan as a Councilman. A lot of the Councilmen were less impressive than Mo Fan. He might be clueless about politics and how to manage and rule an area, but he could easily delegate these responsibilities to some other officials. The Councilman was just a symbol of office. Each Councilman could be responsible for different things.
"What about Fanxue Mountain?" Mo Fan asked with a confused face.
Mu Ningxue had always been in charge of Fanxue Mountain, so Mo Fan was utterly clueless about its current situation.
"I believe you've heard a thing or two about the Headquarters Cities?" Chairman Shao Zheng.
"Sort of; isn't it just merging the tier two and tier three cities, and every town and village nearby, and placing them under some of the main cities?" Mo Fan said.
"That's more or less the gist of it. The area that the sea monsters can move in has significantly expanded. The safe zone along the coastline has shrunk rapidly. A Headquarters City is a new layout that we are implementing for the cities along the coastline. The politics, economy, transportation, and military of these cities will be heavily impacted, but it will also multiply the worth of real estate within these Headquarters Cities a hundred, or even a thousand times!
"Your Fanxue Mountain is a part of Feiniao Headquarters City. The land there is spacious, with favorable terrain for defensive purposes. I believe a lot of people from the tier two and three cities, and the towns and villages nearby, will be moving to the Land of New Moon of your Fanxue Mountain," Chairman Shao Zheng told him.
"So you're saying that I'm going to make a fortune?" Mo Fan said.
"If you can manage your Fanxue Mountain well, considering your reputation at the Ancient Capital and your contributions after winning the World College Tournament and the damage you've dealt to the Black Vatican, you definitely have a great chance at becoming a Councilman," Chairman Shao Zheng smiled.

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.
