Chapter 45 The Awakened Guild

?Hearing Keith's suggestions, the world leaders didn't reject his suggestion as they waited for him to explain the benefits of establishing an organization that would manage awakened humans.

Although they already knew the main benefits, they were aware that compared to Keith's intelligence, their intelligence wasn't worth anything.

"As you all are aware, the existence of awakened humans will change society. Whether it is a good or bad change, it can only be controlled as long as we impose restrictions on the awakened humans."

"Of course, we can't restrict their freedom without any explanation or compensation. It will only be detrimental to our control over society if we put a leash on every awakened human."

After his opening speech, Keith started to explain his method of establishing an awakened human guild.

"As you all know, we can't know every awakened human on planet earth unless every awakened human registered themselves as an awakened human instead of hiding their identity. And we can't force them to reveal their identity using a direct and forceful method since we aren't North Korea."

"Since we advocate freedom and free speech, we will let the citizens decide whether they should reveal their identity as an awakened human or not. And to make them willingly reveal their identity, we will provide benefits for the awakened humans. And that is when the Awakened Guild comes in."

Pausing for a while, Keith grabbed the cup of cola on his desk and drank it to quench his thirst. If not for the fact that Keith owned McDowell's, the world leaders would have thought that he was promoting McDowell's to them.

Well, not that it mattered since McDowell's branches were already in their country. Keith solved world hunger by converting salt water to purified water and implementing methods of crops yielding more produce. He had also dealt with those greedy capitalists who wanted to inflate the prices of food, water, and other necessities.

Not to mention, his McDowell Foundation had donated food to the poor and offered jobs to the unemployed. So Keith might not be known as the emperor of humanity, but he was known as the Ultimate Philanthropist in the entire world.

Of course, solving world hunger will have a negative effect. That was, it would cause war among countries since they could provide more food and energy for soldiers which would allow wars to last longer.

Only those naive idealists would think that solving world hunger would result in world peace. In fact, it would result in the opposite outcome as humanity's greed was boundless.

But, Keith had prevented that from happening. By allowing all of the major and minor countries to form an alliance under his banner and achieve understanding and acceptance of each other's differences, even if they could start a world war due to sufficient resources, they wouldn't as there was no point in doing so.

The purpose of starting a war was to obtain more resources and land. But all countries already have sufficient resources and even if they don't, Keith who held the most wealth in the world wouldn't mind donating it to those in need since hoarding money would only negatively affect the economy.

As for the need for land, Keith couldn't bother about solving such a trivial problem. He just needed to eliminate those ambitious politicians who wanted to achieve world domination and the problem was solved before it could even begin.

And if the problem of overpopulation became prominent, Keith could just implement the one-child policy or just start a purge. Anyways, even if Keith was generous enough to help the needy, it didn't mean he wasn't evil.

If he had the heart of a saint, he also had the heart of a devil. His alignment was mostly leaning towards either Neutral Evil or True Neutrality.

Because of that, the world leaders didn't mind becoming Keith's subordinate as Keith had offered their country numerous benefits. Even when Keith had restricted their capitalism and corruption, it didn't disrupt their luxurious life as Keith had given them enough compensation.

Aside from his high charisma, Keith also had the talent for reading the heart of most people. Whether it was their intentions or desires, Keith could grasp it and use that knowledge to win that person over to his side.

Unknowingly, all world leaders relied on Keith when it came to making major decisions in their country. So even when they awakened their mana and obtained power, they still relied on Keith to offer his suggestion on solving the dimensional gate and mana awakening incident.

Noticing that the world leaders' attention was on him, Keith placed the cup of cola back on his desk and started explaining his suggestion of starting the Awakened Guild.

"If you have already guessed, not only the military, police, or even the civilians awakened mana but also the criminals. And because we can't afford an internal conflict on our side especially when a monster invasion starts, we can justifiably execute any criminals as long as they are awakened humans."

"To achieve that, we must first create the Awakened Guild, a worldwide organization dedicated to dealing with awakened humans. We can implement various restrictions on awakened humans as long as the Awakened Guild exists. You can think of it as the police or military force against awakened humans but even civilians can join the Awakened Guild as long as they don't have a severe criminal record as well as having the identity of an awakened human."

"Those who join the Awakened Guild will have a monthly salary without doing anything. But their membership for the Awakened Guild will be revoked if they don't participate in dealing with the monster invasions."

"As long as the Awakened Guild is accepted by the public as a legitimate worldwide government organization, we can then use it to impose restrictions on awakened humans such as preventing them from using their abilities in public places as long as it caused harm."

"Also, we can…"

Keith continued his explanation about the benefits of creating the Awakened Guild as well as the method of implementing it.

A few hours passed and the virtual meeting was finished with all the world leaders agreeing to create various branches of the Awakened Guild in their respective countries.
