The three major financial conglomerates Anunnaki had spent a thousand years gradually replacing had barely finished serving their purpose before they were treated like spent donkeys—after helping Han Bi across the river, the bridge was demolished behind them.
Over the past seven days, they had acted as the vanguard, rendering tremendous service in Han Bi's takeover of the civilization and helping him resolve many crises he might have faced upon first ascending the throne.
By now, the other twenty-one financial conglomerates had largely been dismantled, and their power had been severely weakened.
