And just like that, as the news spread further and faster.
By the time Qiu Tu's convoy returned to Eastern City, nearly all mid-to-high-level leaders in Dongye State had already heard the news.
Previously, Qiu Tu's "follow the law" governance approach had already calmed much of the restlessness among the people.
Now that he had advanced to the Fifth Order and possessed the power to subdue all opposition, no one dared to question or criticize him any longer.
This also meant that upon returning to Eastern City, he immediately began to enjoy the grandeur and treatment that befitted a Speaker of his stature.
With police cars clearing the way, intersections were sealed off to ensure Qiu Tu's convoy traveled unimpeded.
Even upon arriving at the State Council, security guards had already been stationed and the elevators prepared well in advance.
Returning to his office, Tao Yaoyao promptly delivered a stack of documents that Qiu Tu, as Speaker, needed to address.
