Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 723 - 312 The Winds of Change in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain

```

In October 1254 of the Sixth Era, the trial regarding the attack on Songstress Hexia was convened in the Supreme Court of Four-leaf Crystal.

This case, involving tens of millions of personnel and hundreds of major corporations, entered the first round of sentencing after six hours of presentation. The directors of the 11 corporations directly involved in plotting the attack received the maximum punishment: 21 of them were sentenced to death, 48 to life imprisonment, and 79 would face 20 to 40 years in prison. Besides these, among other intermediate participants, 37 were sentenced to death, 61 to life imprisonment, and 189 to over 20 years of imprisonment.

The assets of the 11 directly involved corporations were to be confiscated and later auctioned off, sold to other companies willing to take over. Other indirectly involved companies were to face hefty fines, be blacklisted, have their credit and ratings downgraded, and be barred from engaging in certain sensitive and critical industries.

This was just the first round of trials. Following the incident, the Stellar Domain Official received many whistleblowing letters and lawsuits directly accusing these hundreds of companies of various crimes committed over the past century, including but not limited to tax evasion, illegal competition, defamation, persecution, monopoly, bribery, malicious suppression, and harming the innocent.

After receiving these letters and lawsuits, the law courts and Court of Judgment stated they would screen and review each one thereafter. If the allegations were true, a second round of trials would be initiated.

Such a grand denunciation caused a huge stir on the Star Domain's internal network. To everyone's amazement, these once-glamorous brands collapsed overnight, revealing countless unheard-of scandals with irrefutable evidence—some of which withstood scrutiny.

The storm grew bigger and bigger, continually destroying and altering the original situation within the Star Domain.

With the fall of companies that had once dominated certain industry sectors, a vast market opened up. Seizing this gap, countless emerging businesses began to catch up, competing with each other to take over these markets. In the new round of reshuffling, many overbearing terms previously set were improved. Official institutions, previously suppressed by corporate camps, gained a significant amount of freedom to act. Many industries' new standards began to be sorted out, taking this opportunity to address some of the past's chronic and grey-area issues.

In November, Governor Temachi announced in a public meeting that over the next three years, the focus of the Star Domain government would be entirely on improving the internal political environment, sorting out the past's chaos and malpractices, and fostering a more fair, transparent, and clean political atmosphere. All three Songstresses of the Star Domain expressed their support, joining hands in a promotional video.

By putting large companies on trial, eliminating stubborn past malpractices, revitalizing the market, and significantly improving public safety and the business environment, combined with the endorsement of the Songstresses within the Star Domain, the approval rate for Governor Temachi climbed steadily, enhancing his prestige and allowing him to challenge the vested interests of the Conservative Faction and implement new policies forcefully.

For a time, the Governor was on a roll. Finally free from the various restraints of the internal bureaucratic system and the Conservative Faction, he could flex his muscles. For an ambitious politician like him, this was the most exhilarating thing in life. At his level as a federal Executive Officer, wealth no longer held much meaning or allure; the ability to shape the world according to his ideals unrestricted was a far more important pursuit.
