Blackwood Union Headquarters – The Grand Assembly Continues

The room remained silent, the air thick with the weight of decisions being made. Ethan leaned forward, his fingers drumming lightly against the armrest of his throne.

"Now, we move to the appointment of Supervisors—the enforcers of my will across the Blackwood Union." His voice was firm, leaving no room for objection.

Christiana, sitting beside him, unfolded a document and placed it before him.

Ethan took a measured breath before continuing. "Each Supervisor is granted absolute authority over their designated territories. Their word is final. They answer only to me and the Dictator. Their primary responsibilities include enforcing Union laws, overseeing military and economic affairs, and ensuring total loyalty to the Blackwood Empire. Any act of defiance against them is considered an act of defiance against me."

Ethan's Final Declaration

Ethan exhaled slowly, letting his gaze roam over the gathered leaders.

"These Supervisors are now the architects of the new world. They represent my will, and theirs is the final word in their respective domains. Those who oppose them oppose me."

He turned to Christiana, who stood up and glanced at the leaders below.

"You will fall in line, or you will fall." Her voice was cold, devoid of emotion.

Ethan nodded, satisfied. The meeting had concluded. The world had been divided, controlled, and reshaped into the absolute dominance of the Blackwood Union.

And none dared to challenge it.
