Chapter 2117 Unspoken Warning

Chapter 2117 Unspoken Warning

The impact of the destruction of the Kandrian Underworld sent ripples across not just the Kandrian Empire but also all of East Panama.

The ruling class of foreign powers was shaken when they heard the news of the Emperor of Harmony. For once, they were more shocked than the average citizen.

That was because they knew just how hard it was to get rid of the black market for the trade of illegal goods and services.

No matter how hard one tried, it was impossible to get rid of.

This was a section that represented the darkness of humanity.

So long as humanity's capacity for darkness existed, the underworld would always exist. Thus, it would always exist, making it impossible to erase.

It was a futile effort, one that wasn't worth even endeavoring upon.

This was common wisdom within the political sphere.

Anybody who even bothered was instantly regarded as a fool who wasn't fit to rule their jurisdiction.

Yet, the Emperor of Harmony proved them all wrong.

He showed them that it was indeed possible.

Of course, most of them were cognizant of the fact that something extraordinary had transpired in his highly successful attempt. Many were able to accurately surmise what was the core cause for his success.

They were the ones who also realized that it was a message.

A silent one.

One that was addressed only to those insightful enough to understand what the Emperor of Harmony was conveying.

Don't.

It was a chilling warning.

Yet, the man responsible for it all was hardly done.

Deep within his office in the Royal Palace, Rael sat alone at a large, extensive table with many documents spread across it.

His eyes narrowed as he gazed at an enormous chart before him containing a highly complex array of arrows in a giant maze of a flowchart. "Finally done with the entire skeleton of the plan..." he murmured to himself.

It hadn't been easy, and he hadn't even filled in all the details. Yet, he had arrived at a broad strategy that he was confident in. A strategy that survived even his scrupulous scrutiny, proving to be highly effective in achieving his ambition in elevating Kandria far above the rest of human civilization.

He still had time to flesh it out. He couldn't commence the plan until his son left training, for he played an important role in the plan.

BZZZT

He glanced at the message on his comms device.

[Your Majesty, the Elder Tree Connection has been established.]

His eyes lit up as he immediately got up.

"Prepare a carriage for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He grew engrossed in thought while he waited.

The Elder Tree played an extremely important role in his plan to elevate the Kandrian Empire to greater heights.

It was also the most uncertain variable.

While he undoubtedly knew that Rui had been entirely sincere and honest in his recounting of his time in the Garden of Salvation, he needed more confirmation of the strategic value of this particular asset.

Based on his son's accounts, the Elder Tree had made several agreements with Rui that were to their mutual benefit, but particularly to its own survival.

This was good news, as it meant that Rael could trust the Elder Tree more, for self-preservation was the most universal drive throughout all life.

Yet, on the other hand, his experience in and mastery of communication with humans was not going to help him here.
