Chapter 2437 Erupting Crisis
Emperor Rael tried to remember when the last time he had been this stressed was. He was unable to. Not even the Kandrian Throne War had frayed his nerves as much as the battle between Rui and Ieyasu did.
Not even the news of being afflicted with the Eternal Dream disease had stressed him this much.
Neither the two previous wars, nor his own throne war.
Not even planning out the assassination of his own father had strained him as much as this battle did.
Everything was at stake.
His son's life was at stake.
"The battle between the two of them has probably already begun, Your Majesty." Sage Sayfeel's composed voice reached him.
"I am aware," Emperor Rael calmly replied. "They picked up Rui from the Shionel Confederation not too long ago, after all."
He had purposely refused any real-time updates of the war from the spectating Kandrian Martial Artists.
Their mission was more important.
However slight the burden was, needing to inform him of every development would slow them down just by the tiniest bit.
It could potentially impede them just enough spell disaster for the Kandrian Empire.
Thus, he had instructed them to focus entirely on their mission.
Once the battle started, he was entirely useless and unable to intervene in any way to change the outcome. Thus, there was no point in supplying him with real-time intel on the progression of the battle.
He stood by the window in his office, simply gazing out as he waited.
And that was when it happened.
He had thought the worst was yet to come. But he was wrong.
The worst had already arrived.
"The Rutheshilde Family has withdrawn its credit line and has demanded a complete repayment of all stolen and defrauded donations!"
"Your Majesty, the Master-level alliances have demanded an immediate audience with you!"
"The Kingdom of Delinmar has just imposed a sixty percent tariff on all trade with the Kandrian Empire!"
"Your Majesty, Whiterock, Streetstate, and Rearguard have short-sold equity of the K&M 500!"
Emperor Rael furiously worked away as he began addressing all these crises one after another. Any other ruler would have been paralyzed where he stood.
Any other ruler would have fumbled upon such an overwhelming and seemingly endless avalanche of crisis after crisis.
Not Emperor Rael.
Not the Emperor of Harmony.
"Have the Royal Kandrian Bank purchase all the bonds from the market immediately and compile them into collateral debt obligations for sale in the private finance industry. Set up an preliminary incentive structure, do not let Kandrian Gold tank beyond fifty points in the ForEx Market."
"Schedule dialogue for all demands and requests with priority on political power and urgency."
"Instruct the Royal Reserve to lower interest rates once Kandrian Gold Index hits red."
One after another, he issued timely instructions with perfect precision and accuracy, understanding exactly what needed to be done to save the Kandrian Empire from this inexplicable geopolitical and economic crisis that had struck the nation without warning.
Yet, the turmoil to consume the world had just begun.
"Your Majesty!" An assistant cried. "A black-haired and black-eyed man just teleported into the shelter chamber built for His highness! He said his name was Tokugawa Ieyasu and that he wanted to join the Kandrian Empire!"
The Emperor of Harmony froze where he stood with unadulterated shock.
RUMBLE!
The very lands beneath their feet shook and quaked as an earthquake spread across all of East Panama and beyond.
Emperor Rael staggered to a window as he gazed outside it with a bewildered expression.
"Just what..." A whisper escaped him. "...Just what is happening over there?"
RUMBLE!!!
