Chapter 2441 The Genius Behind It

He didn't even need to read it.

Just the title alone allowed him to understand exactly what happened.

His expression grew increasingly more solemn as he understood the gravity of the situation.

For a moment, he didn't even want to open the document.

He wished it never existed.

But alas, his duty as the Emperor of the Kandrian Empire compelled him to open the document.

[The greatest political scandal in the history of human civilization.

The greatest political fraud in the history of human civilization.

Estimated net losses in damages: 1,782,394,520,000 KGC.1 Perpetrator: Emperor Rael Di Kandria.

Victims: Investors, patrons, donors, partners, benefactors and stakeholders of the former Rui Faction, all of whom we have compiled.2 ...

Introduction

This is a report of the investigation that we have conducted over the past four years, an investigation that began since the return of the third Emperor of the Kandrian Empire. We are an investigative group that has chosen to remain anonymous due to high concerns over our safety given the sheer power and profiles of the involved members and nations.

This report contains all the evidence—including but not limited to litigative evidence, witness testimony, documentative evidence, forensic evidence, statistical evidence, as well as demonstrative and empirical evidence—that we will be using to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the Emperor of Harmony conspired with his son, Prince Rui Quarrier Silas Kandria, to run a campaign for the throne while simultaneously using the astronomical amount of wealth his faction received through donations to find a way to heal the Emperor instead of using the capital to fulfill his campaign promises.

We will prove that it is more likely than not that Prince Rui Quarrier Silas Kandria never intended to ascend the throne as claimed countless times over the span of five years.3 He merely accrued wealth with intentionally false promises and used it to ensure that his father returned to the throne. This is textbook fraud in most jurisdictions4 and the evidence we will be providing aims to reach indictment standards at bare minimum and potentially conviction standards by the jurisprudence of the Kandrian Empire.

Emperor Rael knew that he needed to handle this with the delicacy of a surgeon. Even the slightest mistake, and everything would go wrong.

"Before we address the wider impact of this report on East Panama..." His back straightened as he steepled his fingers. "I'm sure that most of you are... wondering about the evidence presented in this report."

The atmosphere tingled as everybody remained silent.

His gaze swept across the entirety of the Royal Palace.

"Let me absolutely crystal clear without even the slightest shadow of a doubt."

His powerful gaze sharpened. "Every piece of evidence provided in this report is falsified and fake. There are no memos between me and my son coordinating fraud. There is no leaked secret documentation that details the taskforce dedicated to this plan. There is no former employee who is willing to testify in the presence of the international political leadership. It is all nonsense. Utter nonsense."

This was actually the truth.

The truth was that every ounce of evidence provided in the document was a lie.

Every inch of it was falsehoods.

On top of that, the report did not express absolute certainty.

It also proclaimed to hit the more likely than not standard for indictment and only potentially reach beyond reasonable doubt.

And that was what made it more convincing.

Usual smear propaganda was dogmatic, religious, and irrational.

This, however, truly resembled a neutral good-faith third-party that was genuinely investigating the truth and nothing but the truth. They made many reminders that it was still not impossible that the Emperor of Harmony and his son were innocent, throughout the entire report.

And that was exactly the genius behind it.
