Chapter 949: Chapter 517: You Tai

Inside a luxurious villa.

Mo Yi Mikel, who had just left the Black Palace, returned to his grand house and dialed a number.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The phone rang a few times before it was answered by a magnetic voice: "Mikel, calling so late, is there an urgent matter?"

"Mr. Isaga, indeed something very important happened tonight, and you will certainly find it interesting."

Mo Yi Mikel recounted the events at the Black Palace that night, which indeed sparked the intense interest of the person on the other end.

"Oh, so the Beautiful Country Government is just sitting idly by? That’s really disappointing, what are they afraid of, they have not a trace of the Blue Star Dominator’s demeanor."

The tone on the phone was slightly mocking, clearly the decision of the Black Palace was not to his liking.

Mikel shrugged and said: "The Jieke Group is indeed not easy to provoke, and it makes sense for them to be cautious in matters of national warfare."

"Cautious, but they can’t just disregard our survival."

The voice on the phone became increasingly dissatisfied. After a few complaints, the call was hurriedly ended: "Mikel, thank you this time, our You Tai Group will remember your favor."

Just a few minutes after the call ended, Mikel’s other phone vibrated with a text message, which was a notification of a deposit.

It was for a bank card he secretly held, and a staggering amount had been transferred into it, which couldn’t help but make Mikel beam with a smile.

...

At the same time, in New York, on Wall Street.

In a tall building, a man in his fifties, wearing pajamas and holding a glass of red wine, stood by a floor-to-ceiling window, watching the hustle and bustle below, the neon street lights, his face full of gloom.

He used to enjoy standing here admiring the view, which gave him a sense of stepping on the entire city.

If any Wall Street elite appeared here, they would surely recognize this man.

He was none other than the representative of the You Tai Group on Wall Street, overseeing several financial companies and hedge funds, known by titles like stock god, financial tycoon, and king of hedging — Butler Isaga, personally worth a trillion US dollars.

His various financial companies controlled immense portfolios, with internal funds reaching a billion-dollar scale; it’s no exaggeration to say, his slightest move could shake Wall Street thrice over.

Simultaneously, Butler Isaga was also the chairman of the Beautiful Country and You Tai Country Public Affairs Committee, a trustee of the Beautiful Country You Tai Organization Affairs Conference, and held various titles such as honorary citizen of You Tai Country, wielding resources beyond just the finance sector. He had dedicated organizational structures and lobbying groups, actively lobbying the Beautiful Country to safeguard You Tai Country’s interests.

As an important figure of the Beautiful Country You Tai faction, Butler Isaga was now in an extremely poor mood, to the extreme.

Because, before the emergence of biological batteries, Butler Isaga was a major shareholder in several long-established automobile companies in Europe and America, plus his financial companies had heavily invested in many oil stocks and futures.

Since You Tai Country had spies scattered across the Middle East region, it had some control over oil intelligence. Combined with his influence in You Tai Country and the Beautiful Country, he often gained access to crucial information, could manipulate the market, and reap substantial profits.

Yet, unexpectedly, the Jieke Group didn’t play by common rules and actually developed a biological battery, causing the stock market of the Beautiful Country to trigger circuit breaker three times in one day.

The oil stocks and futures heavily invested by his financial companies plummeted, collapsing drastically. Although he used his influence to block the news and conduct hedging operations, the time was too short to sell off everything, resulting in significant losses.

The traditional automobile companies in Europe and America he invested in plummeted in value as well, dragging down the value of his shares, leading to huge investment losses.

It can be said, due to the emergence of biological batteries, his wealth was reduced by at least half.

"Jieke Group, you are playing with fire..."

Isaga downed his glass of red wine, his eyes filled with indifference.

If it were just a matter of wealth reduction, he could accept it. After all, his wealth was substantial, and no matter the losses, he was still a great tycoon. But what he couldn’t tolerate was Jieke Group’s targeting of oil.

Isaga was a true patriot of You Tai Country, his feelings for You Tai Country ran much deeper than for the Beautiful Country. He always advocated for safeguarding the rights of You Tai Country and its expansionism.

You Tai Country is today in the Middle East precisely because of oil interests that it receives substantial support from the Beautiful Country.

Once the value of oil declines, the importance of You Tai Country will also severely dwindle.

By then, even if their You Tai faction in the Beautiful Country is immense, the Beautiful Country might not be as diligent in assisting them with arms and various supports as it is now.

Without the support of the Beautiful Country, it is likely that the countries of the Middle East would gang up against You Tai Country, with consequences that even You Tai Country might not withstand.

The You Tai people have wandered for 2000 years, living a life of displacement, plagued by multiple massacres and looting.

They finally managed in the last century, with the support of the Beautiful Country, to find a place to settle and establish their own state, You Tai Country, a source of pride for most You Tai people.

Even those You Tai people in the Beautiful Country, who already hold significant power and authority, still uphold the existence of You Tai Country in their hearts, for it is their root.

Many You Tai people fear that if You Tai Country were to be destroyed, they would once again lose their foundation, becoming a wandering nation.

If a country becomes displeased, oppresses, or even raises a butcher’s knife against them, despite their enormous wealth, they would once again become money bags under others’ blades.
