Heroic Death System [BL]

Arc 8: Covenantor (XVII)

Shang Ke used his personal savings in addition to his dividends from the Yue Family's profits, and with the help of Lu Xiufan, he officially established a new covenantor distribution center in two months. At the same time, he created a website that published a series of supervision systems.

Supervision was conducted by covenantors; every two months these covenantors would conduct investigations by shadowing other covenantors sent to work away from home. If they discover any abusive behavior by the employer, they will immediately report it to the relevant authorities.

Every year in the empire there were thousands of covenantors created, the disease generally appeared when a person was between 14 and 25 years old. If the disease appears in people over 35 years old, they typically had a survival rate of 1%, meaning that the majority of covenantors were very young. In order to attract more covenantors, Shang Ke specially provisioned the distribution center to pay for half of the cost of the mental virus removal surgery. The other 50% could be paid in installments after the covenantor started working.

The majority of the community inflected with the mental virus were civilians, so the cost of surgery for them was a significant burden. Shang Ke's provision undoubtedly helped them resolve a huge concern. Because of Shang Ke's provision, the distribution center successfully received numerous covenantors.

Shang Ke split the managerial tasks into detailed components, assigning them one by one to more than 10 covenantors, giving them full authority to manage the distribution center. He was then only responsible for supervising and regulating.

Following the increase in covenantors, Lu Xiufan had many informal positions, all of which were filled with covenantors, including guards, drivers, assistants, and so on. When integrated with ordinary people, they gave people a sense of urgency, and greatly increased efficiency.

Everything was going smoothly until two incidences of abuse occurred.

After a watchdog investigation, it was discovered that two covenantors employed by aristocrats had been subjected to varying degrees of abuse over two months.

"Don't worry, let me handle it." Lu Xiufan said reassuringly to Shang Ke after seeing the details within the report regarding the abuse of the covenantors.

Shang Ke calmly looked at the report, slowly responding, "I'm the founder of the distribution center, I am the one responsible for keeping them safe."

While saying this, Shang Ke showed no wavering within his eyes. They seemed to flash with confined ripples, as luminous as a lake and instantly moving.

Lu Xiufan didn't say anything else, accepting Shang Ke's decision.

At this point, Shang Ke didn't just intend to personally handle the issue, he intended to publicize it. He first familiarized himself with the situation, collected information; and then dispersed the evidence to the relevant departments. However, the response was like throwing a rock into the ocean, sinking without a trace.

Shang Ke had long expected this and wasn't discouraged. Instead, he proceeded to the next step of his plan, which was to publish the investigations' findings and all the evidence online. He would publicize the identities of the two aristocrats, but hide the identities of the covenantors.

As expected, once this information was published, it immediately attracted the attention of many people. Although most people do not value the rights of the covenantor, every person has some compassion in their hearts. Seeing photos of the shocking scars, no one could remain indifferent. The populace is always partial to the weak, and there were growing calls for fair punishment in situations where there was ample evidence of wrongdoing.
