At the words "restart Chaldea," whispers immediately broke out throughout the meeting, and doubts rose one after another.
It could not be helped. The Animusphere Family's Chaldea Plan was practically known to everyone. Marisbury had borrowed money from almost everyone except El-Melloi.
Even Marisbury had shaken his head at El-Melloi's debts.
Inorai, the Lord of the Creation Department, spoke. "Forgive my presumption, Lord El-Melloi II, but is the Chaldea you mean to restart the bottomless pit Chaldea we all know?"

From 1950 to 1990, the plan had ultimately been terminated due to insufficient funds. That was also why the Animusphere Family had fallen to second-to-last place.
The funding listed in the proposal was simply astronomical. If converted into an exact figure, it would probably have been enough to make all of Africa prosperous.
And that was only the initial investment. Subsequent maintenance costs would be equally astronomical. Even if every family contributed a portion, it would hardly be easy. So because the El-Melloi Family had no money, they could just open their mouths and demand it?
The atmosphere fell silent once more. No one wanted to be the first to speak, because funding Chaldea meant delaying their own research. Without a
