The illusion faded and Xu Yi's figure gradually disappeared in front of Redmond.
Redmond stood there with his head lowered, deep in thought.
After a while, he was woken up by the footsteps in front of him.
Looking up, he saw his mother's familiar face.
"Mother, why didn't you talk to Chairman Xu personally?
Could it be ….. that you really did something to make him angry? "Redmond couldn't help asking the question in his heart.
"Perhaps … …" Seveni looked at where the illusion had been and gave a sigh.
"But to me, to the entire Lampuri Kingdom, this matter is very important. It can be said that it is something that must be done."
"Just what is it?" Redmond knit his brows.
Seveni took a deep look at Redmond.
"Redmond, Chairman Xu just asked if you were prepared to take part in politics, then let me ask you now, are you prepared to give your all to the Lampari Kingdom?"
Redmond stuck out his chest and replied, "Of course!
I can give my all to the kingdom at any time! "
"Very good." Seveni nodded.
"Then let me ask you, to make the Lampari Kingdom truly strong, what does it need the most?"
"This … …" Redmond was stunned.
This question was a bit too big and he didn't know how to answer it.
After thinking for a bit, he hesitantly replied, "I think it should be ….. unity and hard work.
As long as everyone in the kingdom works together and works hard, we can increase the strength of the kingdom and the kingdom will naturally become stronger. "
"I'm not asking you to answer a question from a political class, rather I'm asking you something more specific." Seveni shook her head.
"Something more specific?" Redmond seriously thought about it with a bitter look.
After a while, his expression suddenly changed. He suddenly looked up at Seveni and confidently said, "I know!
It's power!
Mother, you've always taught me that whether it is a person or a country, they have to have enough power to be considered strong. "
"That's right." Seveni revealed a faint smile.
"A country needs more power than an ordinary person. Without enough power, the only fate awaiting a country is destruction."
Raymond was confused.
"Mother, what is this power you speak of?
Based on the current situation in Sines, as long as the New Flyer existed, no country would perish, right?
New Flyer won't allow it. "
"What if the New Flyer is gone?" Seveni asked back.
"Or perhaps the New Flyer's strength is not enough to suppress the other countries on the continent?"
Raymond fell silent.
In fact, he had already considered this possibility when he started studying the politics of the mainland.
But for so many years, the New Flyer had been in complete control of the situation on the continent, making it so that no country on the continent dared to go against the wishes of the New Flyer. This made people consciously or unconsciously overlook this point.
"The reason why New Flyer is able to have its current status, and even the two empires don't dare to go against it, is because it possesses power that far surpasses everything else.
And this power is embodied in the military magic machines. "Seveni said.
Seveni said, "If there comes a day when the New Flyer's military magic machines aren't enough to suppress the other countries, the situation on the continent will change."
Raymond thought about it before suddenly being surprised. He asked Seveni in shock, "Mother, could it be that the matter uncle Xu mentioned was you secretly researching the military magic machines?"
Seveni was silent for a few seconds before giving a slow nod.
"That's right, the kingdom is indeed researching the military magic machines.
There's no need to be surprised, this research has been going on over the years.
Moreover, it isn't just our Lampari Kingdom, I'm certain that including the two empires, all the countries on the continent are secretly researching this. "
"But ….. But the « Continent Peace Treaty » clearly prohibits countries from privately researching the military magic machines." Raymond anxiously said.
"No wonder uncle Xu is angry, so you've been hiding this from him the entire time!"
Seveni revealed a smile, "You think he doesn't know about this?"
Raymond was stunned, "He knows?
Then why would he be angry? "
Seveni looked at where the illusion had been, as if she could see Xu Yi there.
"Perhaps it's like he said, it's touched his bottom line … …"
Raymond had a confused look.
He was still young after all. Even if Seveni had trained him since he was young, it was hard for him to understand the "tacit understanding" between adults.
"Alright, you don't need to care about this.
Raymond, you're about to become an adult and you're about to participate in the kingdom's politics.
You said to Chairman Xu that you were prepared, so let me see if you're really prepared, alright? "
Raymond gave a muffled nod as a burning look appeared in his eyes.
He already had a strong desire for the high and mighty throne.
###
After ending the short call with Raymond, Xu Yi sat there for a bit before leaving the manor.
After ten minutes, he appeared at the Magic Research Institute of New Flying Chamber of Commerce and walked into the Magic Communication Research Department.
When he walked into the department hall, he heard loud noises coming from inside.
As far as the eye could see, a group of young people in brand-new, white uniforms were huddled together, chatting with each other.
When Xu Yi walked in, he attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone was stunned before they broke out in a deafening cheer as they surrounded him.
"Chairman Xu!"
"God, it's Chairman Xu!"
"Chairman Xu, I am your idol ….. Oh, no, that's not right, you are my idol!
I'm really happy to see you! "
"Chairman Xu, why are you here?
Could it be … … "
… …
Xu Yi was already used to this scene, so he casually responded with a smile. He looked over and grabbed Akali who was hiding behind the crowd, secretly laughing.
"What are you doing?" Xu Yi asked Akali.
"I'm giving a simple training to the new assistants." Akali gave a shrug and replied with a smile.
"At least I have to tell them what we're doing, otherwise they won't know if we sell them."
"What a joke."
Xu Yi glared at her before looking over the excited people in front of him. Seeing their youthful and energetic appearances, he felt that he was infected and the gloominess he felt from Seveni disappeared.
"They are the assistants you chose this time?" Xu Yi gave a rough count before slightly knitting his brows.
"There's only this few people, is it enough?"
"There's no other way, how could I recruit that many people in a rush?
Right now, people in this field are very popular and even our Frestech Chamber of Commerce can't get all of them.
Moreover, my requests are quite high, so there aren't many that can be satisfied.
Being able to recruit these people, I'm already very satisfied. "Akali helplessly said.
"Un ….. That's right." Xu Yi nodded, "Then have you decided on your itinerary?
When are you leaving? "
Akali glared at him, "What?
I've only been back for a few days and you as the sir chairman want to chase me away? "
Xu Yi could only roll his eyes, "If you're willing to stay here and not run around outside, I'm more willing than anyone else.
But are you willing? "
Akali waved her hand, "Don't, I don't want to stay here all day looking at you and feeling sorry for myself, it's too boring.
I'm used to running around outside over the years, I'm not used to you telling me to come back and stay here. "
"That's right."
Seeing the two of them talking without any scruples in front of them, it was like Akali's newly recruited assistants had discovered a new continent as they revealed looks of curiosity and excitement.
A young girl suddenly asked in a loud voice, "Hey, Chairman Xu, master Akali, you ….. Are you like the rumours, a couple?"
Akali and Xu Yi looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Akali smiled as she held onto Xu Yi's arm, showing an intimate posture.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Everyone suddenly became more excited, a few young boys even whistled, the scene was very lively.
"Okay, stop fooling around."
Xu Yi helplessly shook his head, but he didn't break away from Akali. He just said to everyone, "You guys wait here, I have something to tell Akali."
"Oh —"
Everyone responded with a special meaning, their expressions full of ambiguity.
Xu Yi directly ignored them and motioned for Akali to follow him into an office.
After closing the door and confirming that there was no one else in the office, Xu Yi's smile disappeared and his expression became serious.
"Akali, for this project, can you make an accurate estimate of the time?"
Akali looked at Xu Yi with some confusion.
"Didn't I say before?
Without going to the site for a period of time, I can't accurately estimate the progress of the project, so it's impossible to give you an accurate estimate.
And you should be very clear about the environment there, there are too many unexpected situations that can affect the progress of the project at any time, so it's even more difficult to estimate. "
After that, Akali frowned and asked, "Why are you suddenly asking this again ….. Is there a problem?"
"I don't know if it will be a problem now, but I have to remind you.
According to the latest news I received, several countries, including the two empires, have plans to enter the Endless Ocean, so it is expected that there will be many fleets from other countries going deep into the Endless Ocean.
They also have their eyes on the sea area we chose, so you have to be careful there. "
