The next morning.

The man untied the dark green tail wrapped around his neck, gently placed M3's arm to the side, and slowly rose from the great Banshee's embrace.

"It's another beautiful day."

After washing up, Master Huang lay on the soft recliner, enjoying another relaxing day under the caress of the Golden Tree.

Let's take a look at how the international situation has changed.

Now that Master Huang has the support of the True Dragon, he's not in such a hurry anymore.

Having someone who understands you is truly a good thing.

At least this land isn't entirely populated by disgusting insects; idealists are also shining brightly.

The unification of Terra is an inevitable trend. Even without the help of the True Dragon, Huang Cao can unify the planet using more extreme methods.

It's just that I don't want to do it that way, because doing so could easily create some hidden dangers that I might not be able to see.

Miss Doctor thought so too, after all, he and Master Huang came from the same world.

They possess their own values and worldview, and will not easily change their established style of doing things based on the size of their power, unless someone pushes them to the brink.

Just as Master Huang was sunbathing, his phone suddenly rang.

"Let me see which little darling is bothering the great Utopia's Lord so early in the morning... um... Andon?"

Why did Andon call me?

It's been almost a year since we last communicated. I remember the plan was progressing quite smoothly, wasn't it?

"Hello, Mr. Andon, what's the matter with you calling?"

The man on the other end of the phone spoke in a trembling voice, and Huang Cao immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Mr. Huang, I shot one of my colleagues... I ignored your warning, but I was captivated by Him..."

Oh, Sister An.

Having a captain like that is truly bad luck.

But I clearly warned Andon not to trust what he saw inside the key.

Why won't you listen? I remember you weren't the type to be so stubborn...

Okay, in the story, you really are stubborn and won't listen to advice, as obstinate as a bull.

Unexpected, yet also quite reasonable.

"So you're running away now?" Huang Cao said coldly.

"I'm still in Lateran, but I'm wanted by the authorities and I'm currently hiding in a base I set up earlier."

"I'm curious, having witnessed the beauty of Utopia, why would you choose this path? Paradise is right here on this land, how could you believe that vision?"

"The scene was so vivid, how could I remain unmoved? I... I'm sorry, I've let you down. Perhaps I should try..."

Andon's bluntness almost broke Master Huang's nerves, not because he was worried about the impact on the plan.

Because he would never entrust his plans to one person, mainly because that guy was too stubborn.

He thought he could relax and continue enjoying his comfortable life as a lord, but then a small problem suddenly arose.

Chapter 649 Margaret Abandons Martial Arts for Literature

"I should have told you before, the scenes inside the key are all from the past and have absolutely nothing to do with the future."

"I know, but the images were just too vivid; for a moment I forgot your teachings and words..."

After the explanation, Huang Cao quickly understood why Andon believed the vision inside the key.

The main reason was that he only told Andon the truth in a literal sense, without providing any substantial evidence to prove it.

After all, this was something that would happen in the future, and at the time, Master Huang thought that the angel would believe him.

As a result, because he failed to provide evidence, he was still affected by the time-space Great Beast inside the key.

Words without evidence are like castles in the air. Huang Cao was too confident in himself. He didn't expect that Andon's personality was inherently stubborn and inflexible.

Such people make decisions largely based on their own subjective opinions. Upon seeing this scene, they instantly feel as if it's real, and then they believe it to be true without any doubt.

In the story, when he was forced by the Patriarch to work in the hall, he was very diligent and conscientious, and his lackey tried to persuade him for a long time but to no avail.

Huang Cao thought that by telling the other party the truth, she could avoid the tragedy of Lemia being shot, but it still happened.

"So what are you calling me for? Seeking my protection?"

"I don't know why I called you. I feel like a child who has made a mistake."

Andon's voice was still trembling, as if he really were a child who had made a mistake.

In Master Huang's eyes, Andon, who was not even thirty years old, was just a child.

"Now I'll tell you what a child who has made a mistake should do: do everything he can to make amends. But for now, your plans can be put on hold. So go and travel around this land for a while, and try to make amends after you've figured things out."

"Anyway, you're wanted now, and there's nothing I can do about it. I don't have the ability to twist the truth and portray your reckless behavior as righteous while calling that young girl evil."

"As for whether that image is real or not, even if I said it was fake now, you probably wouldn't believe me. And if you did believe it, you wouldn't have fired the gun."

"Besides, even if you know it's fake, you won't believe it now, because you've already made a mistake. The subconscious desire to make amends might make you think you're right, thus creating all sorts of self-righteous reasons."

"So whether this is true or false is for you to judge for yourself. I won't offer you any more help."

"Also, you must have been focusing your attention on the organization's development plans these days. Let me test you on a number: how many Lateran have joined Utopia so far?"

Andon answered truthfully, "There are currently over 300,000."

Huang Cao glanced at the figures on the Utopia government system; the amounts were roughly the same.

"You'd better think twice. You're an adult now and need to take responsibility for your actions. Your ideals may be noble, but they've crippled an innocent person, potentially ruining their life."

Huang Cao hung up the phone unilaterally and ignored Andon.

I was in a bad mood, but considering that this guy had at least put in a lot of effort, I decided to ignore him.

Hundreds of thousands of Lateran people joined Utopia, and their sheer numbers were enough to create a wave of popularity within Lateran.

So, should we go next with Lateran or Ursus? Wait, did I forget about a certain small country?

Huang Cao patted his head and suddenly remembered a four-character knightly kingdom.

Kazimierz, I almost forgot about this country famous for its Uma Musume. It's almost time for this country to legally become part of a utopia.

The country is currently controlled by Utopia at all levels, and it already has many Golden Tree, but it has not declared itself a part of Utopia on the international stage.

The main reason is that after Huang Cao had done business here, he handed over this small place to his subordinates to manage.

Now that the entire territory is basically under control, although it is not officially part of Utopia, Huang Cao decides to find a familiar administrator from the story in this country.

Młynar is a mere military man, unfit for a great responsibility. He probably doesn't understand the intricacies of economics and management, and his age isn't ideal either.

Margaret, that sounds like a good choice. Let me see what this girl is up to.

A glint of light flashed in Huang Cao's eyes, and he quickly located the girl's position using the spores in the air.

She seemed to be writing something at the moment. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a course assignment on urban development planning, with Utopia's official evaluation materials next to her.

Has the Nearl Family decided not to continue serving in the military, or do they not recognize Utopia's rule over Kazimierz and have no intention of serving them?

But what Margaret is writing suggests that she doesn't seem to dislike utopia.

Some of Utopia's welfare policies were not fully implemented in Kazimierz, the nominal leader, Ms. Russell, had long since retired to the second line, and Cyril was also very old.

The domestic army has been completely replaced with a utopian organization, leaving no room for resistance.

Ursus seems to be showing some signs of a minor economic recovery, Huang Cao decides to set fire to the border region to make Kazimierz complete the final procedures.

"Let's go to Kazimierz."

A few days later, at Xiao Te's insistence, Huang Cao put on a proper tuxedo and arrived in Kazimierz.

"Is my taste really that bad?"

Recalling how, before leaving, Theresia held up a bowl of fried rice, making it seem as if she would eat the fried rice if Huang Cao didn't agree to wear the outfit.

The fried rice was made by Presis, and it was incredibly delicious, so Master Huang had no choice but to wear this outfit.

After all, he was the kind of man who could combine a shirt with a top-top capitalist hat; his lack of taste was truly exceptional.

Upon arriving in Kazimierz's capital, I first took a stroll around the city center, and just as the report had predicted, nothing unexpected happened.

What does the report say? It just says this city is nothing special.

Upon arriving at the lord's mansion located in the heart of Kazimierz, the capital city, Huang Cao casually pulled up the report card of a certain golden pony.

"Margaret's report card is almost perfect in all six areas, except for finance, which is a bit of a weakness."

It seems that from the beginning of her secondary education, Margaret's career path gradually veered towards the direction of social operations, as if she had been stimulated by something.

Huang Cao did a quick search and found that Margaret apparently went abroad during the summer before starting university.

After returning, I changed my university major.

Chapter 650 Margaret: There are still too many insects on this land!

Human strength has its limits.

When Margaret was a child, she originally thought that as long as she trained hard, she could become invincible and then sweep away all the evil in the world.

Perhaps I am still not strong enough to truly solve all the problems.

One person's strength is weak, but the strength of countless people is powerful.

Margaret has witnessed the changes in Kazimierz over the years.

What was initially thought to be a horrific colonial rule turned out to be a well-developed social security system and a just social environment.

While the Kazimierz Knight Championship is still rife with money, it has become much more formalized than before. Unrestricted combat has been changed to restricted combat, and age restrictions have been imposed on participants.

What shocked the golden pony the most was that after Utopia took control of all sectors of Kazimierz, it actually passed laws to protect the interests of those infected with Originium Infection.

Furthermore, the social status of those infected with Originium Infection was clearly expressed in legal form.

This led to a strange phenomenon.

If an ordinary person were to infect someone infected with Originium Infection, the legal consequences would be more severe than if they were to infect a healthy person.

If the consequences are extremely serious, then beating an ordinary person would result in life imprisonment, while beating an infected person would be a death sentence.

Infected individuals who assault ordinary people are punished according to the same methods used for ordinary people—this is the harsh punishment under the utopia.

Huang Cao knew that even with the ability to cure Originium Infection, the barriers between people could not be reversed in a short time; only a positive social environment could bridge the gap.

Before that, Utopia must use forceful means to completely save the people of this class.

The reason why other countries cannot use this method is simply because it is difficult to achieve the required level of law enforcement, but everyone knows the efficiency of a utopian society.

Huang Cao is a strict but loving father, and I don't care how little you discriminate against this patient.

However, if, after judgment, you are found to be at fault, then you will face even harsher legal consequences.

Because this patient is now under the influence of Utopia, he no longer poses any threat to society. But if you do anything wrong, then you'll have to face the iron fist of the law.

If they continue to stubbornly defy the law, Huang Cao wouldn't mind giving them a beating to correct their character.

If they continue to be stubborn, just keep them in prison, forcibly turn them into infected individuals, throw them into a mine to mine hard, and don't provide them with any medicine.

As for this, it's cruel and completely uncivilized.

Please, Huang Cao is a very typical autocratic monarch; none of the laws of Utopia can restrain this lord.

A truly wise king should not be bound by the systems he creates; adapting to local conditions is the best approach to development.

Margaret knew everything above, and she also knew what the king of Utopia had brought to the world.

She looked at a flag hanging on the wall, its surface printed with what resembled an abstract DNA double helix structure.

In fact, before going to university, the place she traveled to was Ursus, which is not far from Kazimierz.

They successfully encountered the Reunion Movement, or rather, the Reunion Movement belonging to Talulah, in the northern wilderness, and the two spent quite some time together.

They even fought together against an attack by the Infected Enforcement Squad.
