If You Don't Agree, I'm Going to Cry~ / Cyber Ghost, I Need You to Help Me...

This period involves many countries, so Master Huang has also become quite busy.

Yan Country, Siergrag, and the small country of Bolívar.

Chapter 713 If you don't agree, I'll cry!

Whether a country is large or small, they all hold the same weight in Huang Cao's heart; only the degree to which they are treated differs.

As an assistant, Ines mainly did light tasks such as organizing documents and handling miscellaneous matters on Rhodes Island during the morning.

For example, in the procurement of supplies, a signature might be required in certain places, because procedures are extremely important in Utopia.

Even if it is sometimes necessary to do things that violate procedures, it should be reported most of the time, and there is a procedure to submit supplementary reports later.

If someone is sent away due to a special accident, Master Huang will also revive them, and then the person involved will report it to higher authorities.

Huang Cao spent the entire morning dealing with matters concerning Yan Country.

Because a very friendly strategic alliance has been formed with True Dragon, all kinds of resources and investments must keep up.

The latter was very accommodating; Utopia's investment proceeded almost without hindrance, and it quickly reaped substantial returns.

The Yan Country gained jobs and good welfare benefits, and even Originium Inhibitor. The emperor received advanced equipment, which enabled him to eliminate domestic resistance forces.

Utopia also gained local influence, and this influence was not the fake kind like that of Siergrag, but real and genuine.

Local officials were very cooperative with some of Utopia's policies, so Master Huang soon reaped the rewards.

In the third month, they gained tangible economic and political benefits. The gap between profit and loss was not large enough and was steadily approaching equality.

It's a win-win situation.

As agreed, Huang Cao greatly helped the contemporary True Dragon strengthen centralized power.

He even gave the other person a pill, promising him that he would live to be 300 years old.

Want to retire? No way.

Get back to work!

After finishing his morning work, it quickly became noon, and if there was nothing to do in the afternoon, Huang Cao would be bothered by the women.

Therefore, secretaries who are not family members will have the afternoon off at this time.

Then the next day, they replaced her with a woman from Master Huang's household to be his secretary.

So unfortunately, Ines had to take the afternoon off with regret, but she wasn't in a hurry.

She was already quite content with having at least one opportunity a week.

Who says Master Huang can only have one secretary? Jie and Xi often work together as his secretaries.

Theresia and Lamian are often like this, they are almost always in pairs, only Xi and Anma sometimes have each other alone.

Most of the time, since Master Huang's office is a proper workplace, the secretary is genuinely doing her job... unless there are exceptions.

Anma is the one most prone to unexpected events, while Theresia is the one who rarely encounters any.

After all, she is also a queen, so she can restrain herself.

Some people have it easy, while others are exhausted.

In the distant Holy City of Lateran.

In the Laterano Church, Evangelista XI sighed helplessly at the crowd.

What can be done about it?

What to do? Rhodes Island has arrived, carrying one demon—no, two demons.

Theresia... the Demon King of the Sarkaz, this is the one who truly terrifies Lateran.

If Rhodes Island enters the Holy City, should they stop them or not? Stopping them would be tantamount to starting a war, and the Lateran cannot afford that risk.

Rhodes Island entered through normal diplomatic channels, and although the Pope dared not refuse, for if he did, the next time it wouldn't be Rhodes Island.

Anyone with eyes to see knows that Utopia is here to cause trouble, but what can be done?

Complete hegemony, complete irrationality, a large part of the key ethnic group is the Sarkaz, and the supreme ruler even married three Sarkaz women, one of whom was Demon King.

This undoubtedly challenges the orthodoxy of Lateran doctrine.

If even the Demon King can enter the Holy City, then what about those who were previously expelled from Lateran because of Originium Infection?

"Or we can just leave it alone," said the head of the First Division, who was in charge of the law.

The white-bearded Pope nodded. "That's indeed a good idea. Wherever the lord of Utopia goes, we officials will simply not receive him. We'll treat it as a communication breakdown, as if we couldn't find him, and all the monasteries will continue to operate as usual."

Publicly welcoming them would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Lateran's faith, so it's better to just bury your head in the sand and avoid trouble.

The resolution was quickly passed within Lateran, as it seemed to be the only way.

After the meeting, the Pope looked at the distant azure sky and silently prayed:

"Hopefully nothing bad will happen. Perhaps Mr. Huang is just here for tourism?"

What the Pope didn't know was that at the beginning of the meeting, one of the officials in charge of the Papal Hall spoke in a very strange tone.

The person in charge referred to Huang Cao as "Lord," not as the lord of Utopia.

Those present didn't seem to notice, and even the Pope thought it was a very common title.

Meanwhile, on the other side, a unique group is cheering for the arrival of utopia.

Arturo: "Perhaps we will meet soon. Half a million loyal followers of Utopia, all of them adults in the workforce. Lateran's total population is less than eight million, which is quite a considerable number."

Huang Cao: "Thank you for your hard work these past few days. After I arrive in Lateran Holy City complete the inspection, I will fulfill your dream."

Arturo: "It's a deal. Don't go back on your word, or I'll be heartbroken."

The cunning angel curled a smile at the corner of her lips and continued her fitness journey, handling her tasks while exercising.

She's not the Miss Doctor; the Doctor is still snuggled up in bed in Lateran.

On the other side, Master Huang turned off the chat screen. He put the matter in Lateran aside for the time being, as the procedures in Siergrag were almost complete.

With Yelagond's true manifestation, almost all the Siergrag people obeyed.

High on the snowy mountain, Yelagond surrendered his divine authority to the Snowflake and admitted his defeat, losing to the lord of Utopia.

Yelagond issued a hadith, entrusting Siergrag to Utopia and establishing a series of agreements, declaring that the lords of Utopia had supreme authority over Siergrag.

While these words shocked ordinary people, they didn't feel much afterward, because Utopia had a high reputation among the people, and moreover, Siergrag was standing on the moral low ground of not being honest.

So it's already a miracle that Utopia hasn't attacked them.

The ordinary Siergrag were shocked that their revered god had been defeated, but this only caused a brief commotion, since Yelagond was still alive.

The vast majority of Siergrag people do not believe that Yelagond is invincible, because the book does not say that He created the heavens and the earth.

In the scriptures, He is portrayed more as a leader, which can be considered a very simple and straightforward faith.

At the same time, His voice spread throughout the world of Siergrag, declaring that His authority was second only to the Saintess, and that even He had to obey the Saintess's arrangements.

From this day forward, Enia will remain the supreme ruler of Siergrag besides Huang Cao, still wielding power second only to the emperor, able to mobilize the soldiers of Utopia, and exclusively enjoying military and political authority.

Although the soldiers of Utopia do not listen to Enia, the military power held by this snow leopard is nothing more than the tacit approval of Master Huang.

Chapter 714 Cyber Ghost, I Need Your Help...

"I'll leave the matters of the major families to you, Doctor. Before, without your help, I would have had to make the trip myself, but now that you're here..."

I'm relieved.

Huang Cao spoke gently to the Miss Doctor, who suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

The Doctor in the video sounded a little shy, "Suddenly asking me whether I believe it or not... and being so gentle, I originally thought you were going to become a heartless capitalist."

"You've done your best for me, even if you're a bit eccentric. Wouldn't it be too cruel if I spoke ill of you?"

Psychological trauma is psychological trauma. Although the Doctor still harbors wicked intentions, one of Huang Cao's strengths is that she can separate public and private matters.

As long as it doesn't harm those I cherish, I'll bear this fear alone.

"We need to develop Snowflake's administrative skills. The Utopia government officials will arrive soon, and they can come back after they've finished handling things. We're in Lateran now, and I'll throw you a celebration banquet later."

"Then I'll thank you in advance, Master Huang!"

The Doctor hung up the phone quickly, and Huang Cao shook her head helplessly.

Fortunately, the Doctor didn't make any strange requests just now; the special massage last time had left him feeling uneasy for a long time.

Is my "white moonlight" attribute really that strong?

In the afternoon, Rhodes Island's fleet sailed into Lateran territory, protected by spores permeating the air.

Along the way, they encountered many monasteries, and the residents there looked at Rhodes Island rushing towards them with curiosity, some of them with a strange yet admiring gaze.

A paradise capable of accommodating all races, where there is no longer any need to worry about hunger and disease...

Lateran's doctrines are riddled with contradictions. Its inability to confront its own racial history and its double standards in treating the Infected and other races are its greatest fatal weaknesses.

Huang Cao's utopia is a typical materialist country that advocates the unity of knowledge and action; he never engages in deception.

Ursus's current stock market value exceeds the total production value of Utopia's main urban area, but is it useful?

It's completely useless, because Utopia doesn't even have stocks.

In the event of war, do you expect these pieces of paper or numbers to carry crossbows and go to the battlefield?

Utopia has no stocks and no internal market economy; this concept only exists when there is external economic expansion.

Everything was orchestrated by Master Huang, who extended the supply of provisions indefinitely while ensuring extremely high resource utilization and maintaining national morality.

This is a perfect, idealistic utopian world; the Master Huang of Utopia is a nurturing force for humanity!

At that moment, the Laterano Church of Rhodes Island from a distance using long telescopes, felt a sudden tremor in his heart.

Oh no, why is Utopia heading towards the Holy City?

Who is this aimed at?

Could it be that they're after me?

This time they're really after me!

These few words reveal the complexity of the Pope's inner thoughts at this moment.

On the surface, he appeared calm and collected, but inside he was already in a panic, because the events in Iberia were far from over.

Lateran paid a substantial sum in reparations to Iberia, which indirectly caused some financial difficulties for Lateran, forcing them to reduce administrative spending.

However, this compensation was nominally distributed under the guise of humanitarian aid from the sectarian brothers, and the fact that Iberia knew the truth did not mean that ordinary Lateran people knew the truth.

Iberia has become part of the territory of Utopia, so the Lateran naturally cannot enter.

Therefore, most Lateran had no idea that this so-called relief was actually compensation, and that it was being urged by the Utopia's Lord.

Once this truth is widely known, the blow to the Laterano Church will be immense; this is a trap that was planted long ago.

The reason the Pope agreed at the time was to salvage the already limited influence of Terra faith in Lateran.

After all, the matter concerning Iberia is simply unacceptable.

Therefore, the Pope chose to borrow money for the future, doing everything in his power to save Lateran's global influence in matters of faith, but unfortunately, the results were not good.

Not detonating the bomb immediately saved some face.

The Pope is still somewhat fearful, worried that if Master Huang discloses the entire transaction, it will damage the credibility of the Papal Hall.

But what has been damaged is only the credibility of the Papal Hall, not faith itself...

While there might be some cascading effect, it's not serious enough to cause major damage.

After all, Lateran lost money, that's a fact. Even if they had no choice but to pay, it still made up for some of their mistakes.

"Prepare for the reception, Viellyf. You're better at diplomacy. Also, inform Partridge to strengthen the defenses around the Holy City, but try not to disrupt Rhodes Island's voyages."

The Pope turned to a girl with purple hair and spoke.

The girl named Viellyf said, "Understood."

At this moment, everyone abandoned their usual playful antics, for they were about to face a blatant "provocation" from a major power.

None of the people present were kind-hearted; they absolutely did not believe that Rhodes Island was genuinely here for tourism.
