Chapter 365 Overbearing Master Grey At the stime, 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 becan 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.

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 | left the council back then and went to the outside world. After all, you were the ones who askedto join the council back then. You were also the ones who letout.” 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 calledover. | heard you want to introduceto 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 becour tenth elder. Due to sspecial 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 onjoining because | 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...” Jocelyn waved her hand and interrupted him. She said casually, “There are still many things you don’t know.
Don’t make a fuss.” Julian kept quiet. He looked at Jocelyn with unfathomable emotions in his eyes.
Leo smiled and waved his hand to chase them away. “You haven't seen each other for many years. Although the council has strict rules, we won't stop you from catching up. If you have something to say, go out and talk.” Julian cto his senses and uttered, “Jocelyn, let's talk outside.” Jocelyn smiled at him and answered, “I'm going out, but | have nothing to say to you. | have something important to do.” She was going to look for her precious disciple and Betty.
Jocelyn walked out gracefully.
Julian immediately followed.
Only the group of men was left in the meeting room.
Richard gossiped, “Gosh, Julian is going to suffer. It's not easy to be a heartless man! The tenth elder is very vengeful. Jaye, are you sure they can have a good chat?” “Isn't this good? The old president's death is unknown, and Landon was forced into the slums. Julian has grown too greedy these past few years. If we find out that either of these two boys is really involved in the old president’s death, we can’t let this matter rest. Although the tenth elder is young, she has a cruel heart. Back then, she was very close to the old president. She will definitely investigate the cause of the old president's death. It’s a good opportunity for her to keep in touch with those two boys.” All the elders looked at Jaye. As expected, Jaye was a brilliant guy.
Instantly, these men smiled slyly On the other side, Jocelyn left the conference room. Julian immediately chased after her. His handsface was like a celestial painting. Looking nostalgic, he stared at Jocelyn with deep affection and guilt.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Jocelyn, let's have a good talk. | was indeed guilty back then, but I really love you!” Jocelyn stopped and looked back at him. The face that had once made her blush and her heart race no longer held any attraction.
Jocelyn stared at Julian's face for a while.
Julian was secretly happy when he saw her like this. If Jocelyn still had feelings for him, things would be much easier.
Sure enough, Jocelyn walked up to him and sized him up. He sized Jocelyn up too. 20 years had passed, yet she didn’t seem to have aged much She was still as beautiful and eye-catching as ever. She was like a raging fire, like a rose, passionate, unrestrained, and unruly.
She was very charming.
Julian went into a daze and couldn't help but recall the past.
Jocelyn raised her fair hand, whose nails were colored bright, and gently stroked Julian's face. She said gently, Julian, did you know? A handsguy like you is only worthy of being someone's lover. Back then, | had a good twith you!” Julian's face immediately darkened. Jocelyn said again, “Don’t misunderstand. I'm not discriminating against handslooks. I'm simply looking down on you for being sinister. When you were with me, you even hooked up with Cecilia. Tell me, how should | punish you? After so many years, you still haven't improved at all. It seems that Cecilia has no skills. She didn’t teach you well. Look, you cup to hook up withthe moment you saw me! However, | must remind you that although you're still handsnow, you're already filthy. Don’t disgust me, okay?” As she spoke, she gently patted Julian's face twice before turning around and leaving enchantingly.
Her high heels made a crisp clicking sound as the fiery red figure gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor. Julian stood rooted to the ground with a livid expression.
He thought that Jocelyn was still deeply in love with him. He did not expect her to becso sarcastic.
He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Cecilia's number.
In fact, Cecilia was also about to call him.
When Cecilia saw his call, she quickly picked it up.
Cecilia felt very uneasy. She opened her mouth and said, “Julian, something happened. | have something important to tell you. Landon seems to be suspecting the Delusion Bug incident.” When Julian heard this, his face also darkened. He said, “Something happened on my side too. | have. important news for you. Jocelyn is back. She’s the tenth elder of the council.
Bang! On the other end, the sound of a phone falling to the ground rang out.
