Chapter 581: 0579 Means [This chapter is sponsored by: Rui Long - 1/8]


Lynch didn't know that his plan almost ended prematurely due to Emperor Gafura's curiosity, nor did he know that the "incompetent image" of the Minister of the Army had saved this unexpected danger. If he knew, he would certainly write a thank-you letter to the Minister of the Army.

In any case, the entire delegation's personnel list was thus decided, and the Federation delegation's visit was scheduled for March, which was only a month away. During this time, Gafura could also prepare some reception work.

State visits between major powers are not simple matters. They must reflect the nation's strength while subtly indicating their harmlessness.

Of course, if it's the Federation, the Federation must also show solidarity among all social strata. After all, Gafura is different; it is a monarchic country where, as long as the monarch has no issues, the country is fine.

In short, the entire Gafura began to operate around this international visit. According to the Emperor, it was essential to showcase the nation's strength, and not lose face.

In the international community, Nagariel once again entered a relatively stable climbing phase, gaining or losing a little each day. Though the growth was not obvious, it was exceptionally stable.

For exchange rates, stability is the best answer, as it means there won't be any uncontrollable changes.

All holders of Nagariel's currency, including some international hot money and speculators, had no short-term plans to sell. The development of Nagariel had fully unfolded before people's eyes with this round of the currency's frenzied growth.

People were curious about what reasons could allow a country's currency to double its value in the exchange market and continue to grow stably. It was simply a miracle!

Thus, people began to focus here, and then they witnessed an unimaginable scene!

"Friends in front of the TV, we are now at one of the ports in the East Ocean of Nagariel. Over the next period, we will showcase the miracles happening here to everyone!"

Everywhere at the port, reporters using various colloquial styles of the common language could be seen. Some news media, including television stations from various countries, and some groups specialized in filming documentaries had gathered here. They considered this a great interview subject.

The former Nagariel and the current Nagariel were completely different images. People from all over the world could be seen everywhere on the streets due to the sudden outbreak of prosperity that started concentrating many people here.

Scenes of demolition could be seen everywhere, while slightly farther away were factories being prepared for construction. Everything seemed different, even the people of Nagariel had a sense of being transported to another world!

Of course, amidst these good things, some unpleasant things also happened, such as foreigners roaming everywhere!

The mayor at City Hall even held a news conference, warning all outsiders through the media that Nagariel was not a danger-free paradise; its wilds were filled with various dangers!

He also exemplified a recent incident, claiming a mother and son fond of tourism from abroad had arrived in Nagariel and subsequently began touring everywhere.

Despite their broad knowledge, they overlooked the dangers of Nagariel's wilds. On February 5, during the routine cleanup of harmful animals around the city, the hunting team discovered two bodies in a newly established wolf den.

According to some items and clues found around, it was realized that these two travelers were foreigners who had applied for tourism entry. City Hall warned all tourists once more not to go to places not permitted by guides, and not to leave their rooms after dark...

"What a pity!", Lynch couldn't refrain from uttering, while Gadon, sitting not far from him, had his eyelids twitch. He felt Lynch's words hinted at something else.

He couldn't be sure whether Lynch truly saw through the story behind this accident, but he had a feeling that the act he committed was discovered.

That mother and son were Mr. Mengxi's original wife and his favorite son, who had recently come to Nagariel to contend with Gadon for Mr. Simon's inheritance. They didn't intend to leave even a penny for Gadon and his mother, demanding everything be handed over.

Before any further contact, that mother and son had surprisingly started looking for buyers for Gadon's assets. Although Gadon received a promise from Lynch that he would support local money staying locally, he still felt uneasy.

Thus, he spent a little money causing the mother and son to encounter some accidents, like being bound hand and foot with sinews, and having their bodies injured before being thrown into the wild.

Wild wolf packs helped him solve these troubles, and trial indicated as much.

From then on, the mother and son never reappeared, until today when he heard news related to them again.

He wasn't sure if Lynch broadcasting the news at this time was intentional, if he was hinting something. In any case, Gadon was very tense.

After experiencing many events, he matured overnight considerably, yet he still was just a youth. When facing people far superior to him, he seemed again to be Mr. Simon's "obedient son", timid, sensible, yet cowardly.

He looked elsewhere, immediately sensing a distinct gaze sweeping over his face. He strongly resisted the impulse to turn and seek that gaze, pretended to calmly look elsewhere.

Lynch's gaze moved away from Gadon's face. In fact, many people in this city knew that Gadon was behind this matter. However, they had no evidence to support their suspicions, nor did they have any reason to expose it.

Anyway, it's just two foreigners who died, not much related to them.

Lynch also knew, and he couldn't be bothered to say, the money from Nagariel must stay in Nagariel, no one can take it away.

Before, some people wanted to take it away, and they all died. It was like this before and will be like this in the future!

As he withdrew his gaze, he coughed lightly, "Our city is developing positively, with cleaner and tidier roads, and people have a refreshed spirit, but at the same time, we are also facing some troubles, or rather, challenges."

"What is said on TV is one of them; tourists running all over the place pose a great threat to their own safety, and their actions indirectly worsen our image in the international community."

He looked at the merchants and government officials present, "Regulating the behavior of foreigners is imperative. We cannot blindly tolerate and indulge the lax behavior of foreigners. When necessary, we must correct their actions and attitudes."

"In this regard, the Police Station needs to come up with some concrete measures. To facilitate law enforcement against foreigners, we also need to introduce some 'foreign police'." Lynch looked at the Police Director sitting on the side, who nodded repeatedly, indicating he understood.

Lynch nodded with satisfaction, "Secondly, I have a proposal to motivate the people to protect their own lives and property and to fight a 'tough battle' with these beasts."

"The United Development Company will buy back the full pelts of these carnivorous animals at market price, and I will urge relevant personnel to quickly teach people how to make specimens. It would be even better if we could catch them alive."

"We need to turn danger into wealth, learn to use our own advantages..."

Lynch spoke eloquently before the most powerful rulers in the city, and he was sitting in the main seat. The directors of various departments and heads of various agencies sat obediently below him like his subordinates, listening to him assign tasks.

Gadon sat at the end; he represented the local merchants. He watched Lynch, who was not much older than himself, sit there giving orders like the Provincial Governor, with a hint of desire and excitement he didn't even realize himself.

Age is not an obstacle to reaching the pinnacle; it is a support!

Finally, after Lynch finished arranging the work for the near future, he dismissed everyone. As Gadon was about to leave, Lynch asked him to stay behind alone.

This made some people look at him with eyes of envy, jealousy, and hatred, but these people did not know how intensely Gadon's heart was pounding at this moment.

He stood there, not daring to raise his head, as Lynch sat with his legs crossed, playing with his pen. After looking at Gadon for a while, he shook his head with a smile, "A very inept technique, do you know?"

"Just now, about half the people here knew that it was you who did that behind-the-scenes act; you can't hide it from others."

"This is the first time, and I also hope it is the last time. There should be no means to solve demands by violence in a civilized society, don't you think?"

Facing Lynch, who was only a few years older, Gadon finally felt what Mr. Simon had felt, which also made him understand why the once overbearing Mr. Simon was so cautious and even humble in front of Lynch.

The pressure was too great, so great that his hands and feet were a bit numb, almost instinctively wanting to plead for mercy. He gritted his teeth tightly, with his gums bleeding.

Facing Lynch's gaze, he was silent for about ten seconds and then nodded, "I know my mistake, Mr. Lynch."

"Good child, if you encounter similar problems in the future, you can use your brain more, God gave you a brain to think."

"Or you can come and ask me..."

This sentence made Gadon pause for a moment. Without a doubt, the sentence was kind, which suddenly lifted the pressure in the room.

Sometimes things are just so magical; when he was uneasy, he felt enormous pressure. But when he felt a trend developing in a good direction, the pressure disappeared.

He looked at Lynch, feeling... somewhat unable to understand.

Lynch smiled faintly, "This is my warning to you, and also a kind reminder, you can leave now."

After bidding farewell to Lynch, Gadon left. He kept thinking whether Lynch meant he could seek Lynch's help if he encountered trouble; he believed so.

Watching Gadon's back, Lynch's smile on his face grew even brighter.

No matter how good foreigners are, they can never compare to their own. He wants to support a "young leader" in Nagariel, and he thinks Gadon is quite good.
