Akumali looked at Lin Qi, not quite understanding.
Actually, the people of Gefra had invited him long ago, hoping he could bring this way of thinking to the Amelia Region—the idea of making demands without resorting to violence.
There were hardly any Anti-Government Armed Forces members left in the Amelia Region after Blackstone Security's armed purge, but the people still strongly resisted Gefra's rule.
There was nothing to be done about that. They had lost too many family members, and their homeland had been occupied by the enemy. They were forced to obey the enemy's commands, and it was difficult for them to accept such a fate.
Their overt and covert resistance and acts of sabotage had yet to end.
Even as the Amelia Region's economy improved and some people began cooperating with Gefra's rule, this opposition had not come to an end.
Blackstone Security's security consultants had advised Gefra to leave a small number of Anti-Government Armed Forces members alive and play a game of cat and mouse with them.
In the process, more civilians who wanted to stand up and resist, or who possessed a strong desire to resist, would contact these Resistance Organizations or simply join them.
Once these Anti-Government Armed Forces grew somewhat stronger, some of them would be eliminated, ensuring that they never had the chance to become powerful.

Sometimes, Emperor of Gefra thought that losing control of the finances to the Prime Minister might not be such a bad thing. At least he no longer had to worry about all kinds of expenses—well, that was merely a way of comforting himself.
