What Goes Around Comes Around / Doctor: I'm Always Keeping an Eye on You!

Gnosis stood silently to the side, and after thinking for a long time, he finally spoke:

Have you thought of a way to break this deadlock?

"No, is there any news from the Saintess?"

"The proposal you submitted half an hour ago was approved by Her Majesty the Saintess Maiden just minutes ago."

"It's still too slow..." This wasn't Silver Ash blaming his sister, but rather scolding himself.

Silver Ash had no choice; his strength alone was simply too weak.

He could not bear the thought of the Siergrag people continuing to live in a primitive society, without professional doctors to treat their illnesses, without social security, and without warm fur.

Therefore, Sivash borrowed money from the gods, using courage and deception.

The most crucial reason is that none of the major families want to be dependent on others, nor do they want the Siergrag people to submit to Utopia. However, almost everyone is unwilling to give up the convenience and warmth that Utopia brings.

Chapter 691 What goes around comes around

In fact, the lives of the Siergrag people in the story are better than in many parts of Terra, but now that Utopia is there as a backdrop, they seem somewhat inadequate.

Previously, with the help of Utopia's resources, Karlan Trade introduced a large amount of advanced technology to Siergrag.

In the past, many Siergrag people died every winter for various reasons.

Since Silver Ash began building this country with the help of Utopia's resources, the number of unnatural deaths in winter has been virtually zero; almost no one has died from freezing or starvation.

But all of this must be repaid.

Boss Silver be willing to forget about Siergrag after conquering other countries in Utopia, or he may later grant her a relatively lenient degree of autonomy out of compassion, thus bringing a perfect and amicable end to the unification of this land.

Who would be willing to be the sucker? Silver Ash certainly wouldn't.

The current situation is both expected and reasonable.

It's like an economic bubble; nobody knows when it will suddenly burst.

Is commodity trading still operating normally in Utopia?

"Nothing has changed yet... Wait, I need to take this call." After answering the phone, Gnosis's expression turned extremely pale.

"Utopia has just blocked all trade in commodities and threatened to cut off all of Siergrag's network communications if we don't show sincerity."

"Who is she?"

Silver Ash accurately picked up on a particular word, as if the person who came here wasn't Huang Cao.

Gnosis shook her head. "I just received the news too. The person who came this time is very mysterious, but seems to have a very good personal relationship with Mr. Huang."

"Based on my understanding of Master Huang, even if he really wanted to do something to Siergrag, he would either come directly to kill her or give her a final chance; he would never leave things in the middle."

Moreover, it's highly likely that the latter scenario will prevail. Silver Ash was taking a gamble, but he didn't expect the other side to change their personnel directly.

"I'll go prepare to welcome you; you stay here and think it over."

Gnosis left immediately, Silver Ash convened a national conference a second later.

Everyone was there within seconds, because the impact of utopia on the country was far greater than they had imagined.

Aketos: "What happened? Didn't we just have a meeting yesterday?"

Latatos: "Quiet down, listen to what this guy has to say."

Silver Ash: "People from Utopia have arrived."

Aketos: "Another grain delivery?"

Latatos: "If there were really any benefits, why would he call us all together? It's probably because things have been exposed."

As the head of her family, Latatos was no fool like that bear.

Sivash wouldn't summon them immediately if there was something good happening.

Now that things had come to this, Silver Ash dropped the pretense. "Gentlemen, Utopia has come to demand an explanation. I told you a year ago that Siergrag's current development is entirely due to my personal credit, and now I can no longer honor the promise I made."

"As a pawn, I am no longer qualified to participate in the next game. I don't know if the lord of Utopia will be angry about this, but it's highly unlikely, because Siergrag is as insignificant to him as a feather, so he has found someone else to handle this matter."

Aketos: "Change to someone else? Could this person be more powerful than the lord of Utopia?"

Silver Ash: "It might not be more powerful, but it'll probably be more brutal."

Silver Ash's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm pond; Aketos seemed completely bewildered.

"Let Utopia's fleet come; are we afraid of them? Yelagond will protect us."

Silver Ash immediately poured cold water on the idea. "Did you know that Master Huang has many wives who are similar to Yelagond, or even stronger than Him?"

Latatos: "Are you kidding me?"

At this moment, Saintess Enia spoke up, "Enshiodis, is what you said true?"

Silver Ash: "Absolutely true, Saintess Majesty. You'll see once I send you the information."

Information about several of Master Huang's wives is public, but it's just that ordinary people rarely pay attention to it.

However, in the eyes of the few current supreme rulers of Terra, each of them is a thorn in their side.

One Great Beast is enough to establish a nation, yet you have many.

Are your kidneys made of iron?

Enia placed the communication device on the table and turned to look at her maid, who had just been watching from outside the screen.

"Ya'er, is everything Enshiodis said true?"

"It's absolutely true. When I first met him, he carried the aura of several Great Beasts."

Ya'er was extremely pessimistic at this moment. In fact, the reason why Siergrag was able to complete the unification of power so quickly was inseparable from Yelagond's initiative to confess.

Not long after the conflict with Utopia and the departure of Master Huang, Ya'er took the initiative to reveal her identity to Enia.

Then, with the help of the miracle of Yelagond, Enia successfully unified the various forces in Siergrag and did her best to support Enshiodis' industrial development plan.

Unfortunately, none of them knew just how vast the difference was between Siergrag and Utopia.

Ya'er knew a little, but she saw the Siergrag people smiling as they used the manufactured goods, cheap food, and medical resources brought from Utopia.

Yelagond cannot save every patient, but Utopia's medical technology can.

Enshiodis gambled the entire nation on a huge risk, and now he's lost.

Ya'er: "Even if I give it my all, I can't defeat him, not his wife, but him as a person."

Enia was silent for a moment before turning to Enshiodis and asking, "How long can our current food reserves last?"

Enshiodis: "Barring unforeseen circumstances, this should sustain us for a full year. I anticipated the possibility of a landslide a long time ago, so I preserved a lot of farmland, which can be easily restored to cultivation."

Latatos: "Assuming no unforeseen circumstances, our arsenal will have to shut down the day after tomorrow if we run out of raw materials. We are completely unable to be self-sufficient in raw materials; Utopia has completely blocked us off from everything around us."

Enshiodis: "All military weapons testing programs are cancelled. All training will use substitutes. Conserve resources as much as possible, keep the news under wraps, and don't alert the Siergrag people for now..."

Enia: "With so many people working in the factory, how could we possibly keep it a secret?"

Atorx: "That's easy, just give them paid leave. Saintess Excellency, what do you think?"

Enia: "This is the only way now."

Enshiodis: "In any case, since that envoy from Utopia has arrived, we should receive him first. What if things take a turn for the better?"

After the meeting, all the families followed the arrangements and demonstrated an unprecedented level of unity.

What they didn't know was that every move these people made was being observed by Miss Doctor in the slightest.

Because the Originium in the air is her best eyeliner.

Chapter 692 Doctor: I'm watching you all the time!

Two days later, Gnosis felt that his arrangements were in place and went all out to make the welcoming ceremony as grand as possible.

However, none of the heads of the three major families of Siergrag were present, leaving only their respective guards and Gnosis behind.

Professionals should do professional things, but Gnosis always felt that the golden ram next to him seemed to have some issues with him.

Mace.

After receiving its first funding from Utopia, Karlan Trade quickly found a henchman to cover its losses.

While Utopia couldn't target Silver Ash before his credit was exhausted, that didn't mean the schemers in Siergrag wouldn't take advantage of the situation.

"Welcome, Miss Doctor, to Siergrag. We are deeply honored. On behalf of the three families and the Saintess, I extend our warmest welcome to you."

A large crowd held up fireworks and played sacred music from Siergrag.

The Miss Doctor gracefully disembarked from the aircraft, accepting the flowers from Gnosis with a smile.

Just when Gnosis thought that the Miss Doctor's personality wasn't as bad as she had imagined, she was surprised when the doctor's expression suddenly changed, and she threw the confetti in her hand on the ground and stomped on it.

The musicians who were playing music paused for a moment, and Gnosis skipped a beat.

Oh no... Silver Ash really lost this gamble.

"Forget about formalities. Get the ledgers, and summon Enshiodis over to settle the accounts. Otherwise, just wait for Utopia's fleet to raze the three great families of Siergrag!"

The Miss Doctor made a harsh statement, and then the aircraft behind her landed on the ground, from which a large number of warriors wielding knives and guns and wearing huge armor jumped out.

Gnosis was shocked, because how could so many gigantic mecha warriors, two or three meters tall, spring out from just a few small aircraft?

Does it use some kind of space compression technology?

At this moment, Gnosis forced himself to remain calm; he had no choice but to grit his teeth and admit it.

Jian stood silently to the side, and then continued to linger outside the company gate.

"The ledgers have been tallied. Please proceed to the headquarters of Karlan Trade. Let's discuss this first; there might be some misunderstanding."

"Alright, I'll go with you."

Although she was supposed to be accompanying them, the Miss Doctor actually walked at the very front of the group the whole time.

Her pace was slightly faster, and the presence of the Abundance Warrior surrounding everyone created a strong sense of oppression for Siergrag's soldiers.

Warriors from Utopia are at least 2.5 meters tall, wearing ancient but extremely heavy strange armor; when they walk on the road, they are like small mountains moving.

"Stay calm, think about the training we did before," Gnosis reassured her through the communicator.

But every Hundred Battles Abundance Warrior is forged in wars against various countries, and the killing intent they exude is something these green recruits cannot withstand.

The purity of the Mountain Snow Ghost is too low; it might scare children, but it's really not very effective in actual combat.

Soon, the Utopia procession was led by Gnosis to the headquarters of the Karlan Trade.

People on the street were talking about it, but many recognized the utopian symbol printed on the soldiers' armor, so it didn't cause much of a disturbance.

Silver Ash may be a gambler, but he's not stupid.

If you're using Master Huang's money and resources and don't help promote the utopian ideals and good reputation, then you're practically writing "rebellion" on your face.

Let alone the fact that Miss Doctor came to confront us today, I'm afraid Master Huang would have personally led his men to raze Siergrag two years ago.

How dare Miss Doctor get involved?

Silver Ash is a smart man; he cleverly exploited Huang Cao's easy-going nature, but he didn't quite grasp the right balance.

Huang Cao had already planned to launch a military campaign long before Miss Doctor arrived. Now, the former has come here simply to find an outcome that would leave the latter without any moral constraints.

"You should be thankful that it wasn't Master Huang who came, but me."

What do you mean?

"I discussed this matter with him a few days ago. If he were here today, the Utopian soldiers behind him would have killed you on the spot, Siergrag would soon usher in a new era without the rule of the three great families."

"Can I interpret this as a declaration of war?"

"Does Siergrag even have the right to declare war on Utopia? To put it bluntly, your country is truly hypocritical, and Sivash is an even more treacherous person! Besides, the recorder in your pocket is useless now; there's no need to collect the so-called evidence I'm talking about."

The Miss Doctor's actions were far more decisive than expected. She arrived in the company lobby and kicked the Silver Ash signboard away with one foot.

Then, standing with his hands on his hips in the center of the hall, he ordered his soldiers, "Clear out all goods related to the Karlan Trade. All current employees are to take paid leave. Hurry up, we still have work to do."

"At the same time, all of Silver Ash and Karlan Trade's assets in Utopia are frozen, on the grounds that they conspired with Ursus against Utopia, causing it to suffer significant losses. We are now imposing special sanctions on them. All unrelated persons are requested to immediately leave the premises!"

Gnosis immediately stepped forward to refute. "Is there any evidence? Even a great power cannot slander someone's innocence without cause."

The Miss Doctor took out a projector from her hand and pressed a button.
