Chapter 1191 - 1191 194 Divine Artifact Turmoil Vote now don't waste it

1191: Chapter 194, Divine Artifact Turmoil (Vote now, don’t waste it) 1191: Chapter 194, Divine Artifact Turmoil (Vote now, don’t waste it) Slaughter cannot solve problems, but it can eliminate those who create them.

As for who the mastermind behind the scenes is, it actually doesn’t matter much.

In politics, being deliberately obtuse is often beneficial.

Moxi Duchy quickly resolved the issue with a thunderous approach, leaving only the Elf Race as the remaining trouble.

If one were to stubbornly pursue the mastermind behind the scenes, it’s uncertain whether they could be uncovered; and even if they were found, it’s unlikely the situation could be controlled.

Those daring enough to plan this incident, with the power to bring it this far, and to specifically target Moxi Duchy, are very few.

Among these suspect powers, the Moxi People dare not provoke any of them.

Uncovering them would only bring more trouble and add an enemy.

Of course, the Moxi Government officially announced the end of the incident, but the investigation in the shadows will certainly not cease.

Based on Hudson’s understanding of George, having endured such a loss, even if he can bear it now, he will seek an opportunity for revenge in the future.

“Are the Warhammer Restoration Organization’s capabilities really that great, to be able to cause such a major incident in Dapes?” Melissa asked with doubts.

As the scapegoat of this incident, pursued by the Moxi Government, the Warhammer Kingdom Restoration Organization finally made a name for itself.

Many people only learned of the existence of this organization when official investigation results were published, now known to have fallen so far as to collude with the Followers of the Evil God.

Hudson pinched Melissa’s nose with a smile and jested, “What are you thinking about?

If the Warhammer Restoration Organization had such strength, how could it remain obscure?

At the very least, they should have launched a few independence uprisings, calling on the Warhammer Clan to rise up and oppose the rule of the Moxi People!”

The exiled Nobles of Warhammer Kingdom naturally want to restore their realm.

Unfortunately, they had bad luck and headed straight into Moxi Duchy after fleeing.

In the past two or three years, Hudson has not heard any news concerning them.

They are either lying in their graves or being restricted.

With the core forces of the Warhammer Restoration Organization under control, naturally, they are unable to cause any significant upheaval.

Once she had a definitive answer, Melissa understood the severity of the matter and quickly ended this sensitive topic.

The purge initiated by the Moxi People didn’t affect the transactions.

Without the auction channel, it’s hard to drive up prices, but there’s no shortage of buyers.

Representatives from all sides purchased the unique Potions from the Moxi People, with everyone satisfied, and Hudson was also very pleased.

In light of financial interests, the Near East Development Bank established its presence in Moxi Duchy at a rate several times faster than before.

Of course, this is only the simple act of setting up a presence; to start operations, there’s still a long preparation period needed.

The main problem still arises from interests.

How can one make money on someone else’s territory without paying a price?

Even without deliberate targeting, just taxes would be a troublesome issue.

The bank can’t be taxed in the traditional sense; if they were to rigidly impose a business tax, the bank would go bankrupt in minutes.

Concerning the establishment of the Near East Development Bank Moxi Branch, Hudson had long thought it through, continuing with the joint-stock cooperation system.

The difference this time is not about financing, but about forming a separate branch, attracting Moxi Duchy’s Nobles to invest and share in the big pie.

There’s no way around it; the banking business is too low-tech.

Major powers have the capacity to replicate it, making it impossible to keep production and operations secret.

To Hudson’s knowledge, financial institutions imitating the Near East Development Bank have emerged in many places across the South Continent.

Coincidentally, the major shareholders behind the scenes were the same people who had previously financed the bank.

In pursuit of successful financing, Hudson boasted about selling the business model, never expecting it to be indeed sold off.

Aside from a few banks that suffered massive losses due to internal management issues, the rest that followed the trend are now running rather well.

The difference lies in the fact that the industry and commerce in the South Continent were more advanced, with bank customers not only including some Nobles lacking capital turnover but mainly merchants.

As for how the business is faring, Hudson is not very clear, but since shareholders often send people to learn, they must have paid a fair share of ‘tuition fees’ during their entrepreneurial process.

…

Within the Royal Palace, George was troubled while looking at the diplomatic note from the Elf Race.

In diplomatic affairs, “the fewer words, the bigger the issue.”

The Elf Race’s note was succinct — “Hand them over!”

It’s important to note that after the incident, George immediately ordered to clamp down on the news, and there were no elves present at the scene.

The rapid spread of information was clearly the work of someone behind the scenes.

“Hand them over” is impossible; all five elves turned into corpses.

Even if the Moxi Duchy Government were willing to comply, they couldn’t just turn the deceased back into living elves!

“Have you found out yet, which bastard is playing tricks behind the scenes?” George asked furiously.

Since his ascension to the throne, he has been amicable in all directions.

Apart from disputes with the extinct Warhammer Kingdom, relations with the other major powers have been decent.

International affairs have always been something one avoids if possible.

If involuntarily dragged in, it would be in the role of a peacemaker.

Despite acting so low-profile, someone still wants to mess with him; it’s simply leaving no way out!

“Your Majesty, the investigation has hit a deadlock.

According to the evidence at hand, suspicion primarily points to the Frank Kingdom and the Clergy.
