Golden, resplendent stairs and an extravagant, luxurious venue. As a snap rang out, a fashionably and gorgeously dressed man wearing a golden top hat and sunglasses stood atop the stage.
Sparks of lightning crackled as the golden microphone transformed into a scepter.
He planted the golden scepter in the center of the stage, and the world became an ocean of gold.
The man who controlled twenty percent of the world's Beli and possessed the greatest wealth in the world broke into a smile.
"The show... begins~"

He returned to his lavish private hall, crossed his legs, and watched noblewomen dance. He had a blonde beauty in one arm while swirling a wineglass in the other.

He bent at the waist and respectfully presented several sealed letters.
The smile
